NOTE: Emphasizes operation or maintenance
procedures.
GENERAL
It is impossible to compile a list of safety precautions
covering all situations. However, there are basic principles
that must be followed during your daily routine. Safety is
your primary responsibility, since any piece of equipment
is only as safe as the person at the controls.
The owner/user/operator of the aerial lift should not accept
operating responsibilities until this manual has been read
and understood and operation of the aerial lift, under the
supervision of an experienced and qualified person has been
completed. Owner/user/operator must be familiar with CSA
C225-10 Standard, Sections 8, 9, 10 and 11 of ANSI A92.2-
2015 Standard for Vehicle-mounted Elevating and Rotating
Work Platforms. These sections contain the responsibilities
of the owner, users, operators, lessors and lessees
concerning safety, training, inspection, maintenance,
application and operation of the aerial lift. If there is a
question concerning application and or operation, consult
Manitowoc Crane Care.
Read and follow the information located in Model Specific
Information near the end of this section.
Refer to Appendix A of this manual for specific warning and
information signs.
This information has been provided to assist in promoting a
safe working atmosphere for yourself and those around you.
It is not meant to cover every conceivable circumstance
which could arise. It is intended to present basic safety
precautions that should be followed in daily operation.
Because you are the only part of the aerial lift that can think
and reason, your responsibility is not lessened by the
addition of operational aids or warning devices. Indeed, you
must guard against acquiring a false sense of security when
using them. They are there to assist, not direct the operation.
Operational aids or warning devices can be mechanical,
electrical, electronic, or a combination thereof. They are
subject to failure or misuse and should not be relied upon in
place of good operating practices.
You are the only one who can be relied upon to assure the
safety of yourself and those around you. Be a professional
and follow the rules of safety.
Modification or alteration of the aerial lift shall be made only
with prior written permission of Grove U.S. L.L.C., Inc.
Remember, failure to follow just one safety precaution could
cause an accident that results in death or serious injury to
personnel or damage to aerial lift. You are responsible for the
safety of yourself and those around you.
ACCIDENTS
Following any accident or damage to the aerial lift, the
National Crane distributor must be immediately advised of
the incident and consulted on necessary inspections and
repairs. Should the distributor not be immediately available,
contact should be made directly with Manitowoc Product
Safety at the address below. The aerial lift must not be
returned to service until it is thoroughly inspected for any
evidence of damage. All damaged parts must be repaired or
replaced as authorized by your National Crane distributor
