2.3 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE
ALWAYS COMPLY WITH THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS:
• Do not allow unauthorised persons to use the machine. Make sure the machine cannot be accessed by any unauthorised
persons when out of use. Remove the access/ignion keys when the machine is not in use.
• Wear personal protecve clothing and equipment, as per applicable regulaons. To nd out what should be worn,
contact your employer or safety manager.
• Always follow the instrucons and the signs axed to the machine.
• Do not remove any of the machine’s parts, nor the ballast. Stability is only guaranteed if all parts of the machine are
ed in the same way as when the machine was delivered.
• Do not tamper with the control systems or the safety devices in order to increase performance.
• Be careful not to lower the outriggers onto anyone's feet.
• Aer stabilising the machine, check that the plate on each outrigger is resng on the ground properly.
• Do not access the work plaorm once the structure is extended or leave it if it is not in the resng posion.
• Wipe up any oil or grease found on the footboards, deck, or handrails.
• Keep a rm hold on the handrails when boarding or exing the plaorm.
• Never control the machine from the ground when there is an operator on the work plaorm, unless the working
condions allow no other safer and/or beer alternaves in terms of the safety of the operator controlling the machine,
in which case the relave risks must be assessed beforehand (by the employer). Furthermore, the ground control
operator’s view of the work plaorm and the surrounding work area must be sucient to allow the worker to perform
manoeuvres safely.
• Only load the work plaorm when it is fully lowered and resng on the ground.
• Do not climb on the work plaorm crossbeams; use ladders or any other device provided to reach higher levels.
• When working, do not lean out of the plaorm or take up precarious posions.
• Be careful not to drop objects or equipment from the plaorm and make sure they are placed correctly inside the
plaorm. Likewise, these objects must be placed on the plaorm using a handling cable.
• Take measures to prevent risks of objects falling from the work plaorm and onto the machine's structure in general.
Mechanical risk: Contact with the machine's moving parts can lead to the risk of crushing and shearing of body parts.
Thermal risk: Contact with hot parts may cause burns.
Fire risk: Fuel leaking from the tank during machine use or during refueling may lead to a re risk. Never ll the
fuel tank near naked ames.
Collision risk: Prior to any machine use, the operator is required to evaluated the risks overhead.
Risk of high-pressure spurts: A pipe or hose breaking or high-pressure oil leakage may lead to injuries and skin
Risk of slipping or falling: Oil, grease, snow, or ice on the steps used to access the manoeuvre staons or on the work
plaorm oor may cause the operator to slip and fall.
Risk of swinging/overturning: Subsidence (be careful during thaw periods in the winter). In the event of sudden gusts of
wind (with parcular reference to swinging overhead power lines).
