F. Precautions while working
Always make sure that no persons (or animals) are standing in the operating area of the MEPP.
In general, avoid contact with permanent obstacles (constructions etc.) or removing obstacles
(vehicles, lifting equipment, etc.).
It is prohibited to place ladders or any other device inside the platform increase the working
height, or any other element that could increase the effect of the wind.
It is prohibited to work near overhead high-voltage electricity lines and in all cases, the platform
must be at a minimum safety distance of 5 m from the cables.
It is prohibited to move the vehicle when the operator is on the platform (Type 1B elevator).
It is prohibited to use the MEPP as a crane.
It is prohibited to overload the MEPP (refer to the manufacturer nameplate to check the
permissible maximum load of the platform.
It is prohibited to move the vehicle if the MEPP is not fully folded.
Avoid allowing any object or device to fall from the platform.
It is prohibited to get in or out the platform during overhead work.
It is prohibited to lean the platform on any other fixed or mobile structures.
It is prohibited to use the MEPP if the wind speed exceeds the values specified on the
manufacturer nameplate.
Do not use the MEPP except within the permitted temperature range (-15°C to +50°C).
Do not use the MEPP if the visibility is insufficient.
It is prohibited to stay on the vehicle bed when the platform is being maneuvered.
It is prohibited to affix signs or banners to the elevator MEPP.
All the movements required to reach the desired service area must be carried out by the operator
on the platform (P.T.). Maneuvering on the ground is only allowed in emergencies.
When using the MEPP in an emergency on the ground, the operator is inside the working zone
of the MEPP, therefore incurring a risk of being crushed in case of an erroneous maneuver.
Carry out all movements as slowly and carefully as possible.
In case of oil leakage from the hydraulic system:
Danger: Do not move to close to the flow of oil because it is at high pressure in the hydraulic
systems and splashing is liable to cause injury.
1 : Press the emergency shutdown button
2 : Disconnect the Power Take Off (P.T.O)
It is prohibited to use the platform if the mobile access protection (small gate) is lifted, or to stop
it with the platform lifted.
It is prohibited to load/unload any object on the platform during overhead work. In the event of
danger, press the emergency shutdown button.
