GENERAL SAFETY TIPS
Regular inspection and conscientious maintenance is the key to efficient economical operation of your
MEC aerial work platform. It will help to assure that your equipment will perform satisfactorily with a
minimum of service and repair.
The actual operating environment of the machine governs the inspection schedule. Correct lubrication
is an essential part of preventative maintenance to minimize wear on working parts and ensure
against premature failure. By maintaining correct lubrication, the possibility of mechanical failure and
resulting downtime is reduced to a minimum.
NEVER PERFORM SERVICE ON THE MACHINE WITH THE
PLATFORM ELEVATED WITHOUT FIRST BLOCKING THE SCISSOR
ASSEMBLY USING THE MAINTENANCE LOCK!
• Block the scissor assembly using the maintenance lock if the
machine is in the elevated/extended position.
• Never leave hydraulic components or hoses open. They must
be protected from contamination (including rain) at all times.
• Never open a hydraulic system when there are contaminants
in the air.
• Always clean the surrounding area before opening hydraulic
systems.
• Use only recommended lubricants. Improper lubricants or
incompatible lubricants may be as harmful as no lubrication.
• Watch for makeshift “fixes” which can jeopardize safety as
well as lead to more costly repair.
