Collision and Crush Hazards
• All operators and other personnel
in the work area must wear ap-
proved safety helmets.
• Keep all parts of the body within
the platform guardrails during
operation.
• Care should be taken at all times
to avoid contact with stationary
(built-up structures etc.) or mov-
ing objects (vehicles, cranes etc.)
to prevent obstacles from hitting
or interfering with control compo-
nents or personnel on the
platform.
• During operation, make sure to
check clearance and obstacles
above, around and below the
platform.
• Be aware of the field of vision and
potential blind spots when mov-
ing or operating the machine. Ob-
servers should be arranged when
the field of vision is obstructed.
• When moving the machine, if the
working platform is approximately
2 m (6.6 ft) away from an obstacle,
use the boom or platform func-
tions to approach the obstacle, do
not use the machine's travel
function.
• During operation, non-operators
must maintain a distance of at
least 1.8 m (6 ft) from the machine.
• When the machine is operating at
height, warn other personnel not
to work, stand or walk under the
elevated boom or platform. If nec-
essary, the work area should be
cordoned off on the ground with
suitable means.
• Make sure there are no persons
and/or obstacles below the plat-
form before lowering the platform.
• Do not place hands, arms, or oth-
er body parts near areas where
they may be crushed.
• Do not work under the platform or
boom if the boom is not secured
with appropriate lifting/supporting
equipment.
• Ensure that operators of other
equipment in the vicinity working
at height and on the ground are
aware that this MEWP is in
operation.
• Limit travel speed based on
ground conditions, congestion,
ground slope, position of person-
nel, and other factors.
• Determine the braking distance at
all travel speeds. When traveling
at high speed reduce the travel
speed before stopping.
• Do not use the high speed setting
when traveling in areas with lim-
ited or enclosed spaces or when
reversing.
• Before releasing the brake, the
machine must be placed on a hori-
zontal surface or secured.
