INSTRUCTIONS FOR WELDING AND BLOW TORCH WORK ON AN EXTERNAL STRUCTURE
Ensure that there are no hydraulic or electrolyte leaks on the platform.
When welding, work in the opposite direction from the control console to avoid sparks damaging it.
- Any welding and cutting (blow torch) work from the basket on a building’s metallic structures requires the following precautions to be
taken:
A - WITH AN ELECTRICAL WELDING SET
- It is essential that the machine has a discharge braid connecting the chassis of the platform to the ground.
- The external structure to be welded must, without fail, be grounded. If the above conditions are observed, the platform can, in this
case, be in contact with the structure or the elements to be welded without damaging the electronic components.
- The power supply to the welding equipment must be via a grounded socked, including the extension lead if required.
- In all cases, make sure that there are no electric arcs in the basket or on the platform (contact between the rod or torch and ground
connector of the welding equipment). For this the ground connector of the welding must never be placed on the platform's basket; it
must only be placed as close as possible to the part to be welded.
- Switch off the welding equipment before disconnecting the ground clamp from the element or elements to be welded.
B - WITH A BLOW TORCH
- Attach the blow torch’s bottles to the basket’s handrails.
- Sparks and clippings must not be directed towards the batteries.
- Do not set the blow torch down on the lip of the basket while it is still operating or point it towards the control console or its power
cables.
