SAFETY
COLLISION HAZARDS
• Pay attention to the field of sight
and the presence of blind spots
when moving or operating the
machine.
• Persons except the operator must
maintain a distance of at least
1.8m (5.9ft) from the machine
while it is travelling or swinging.
• When the work platform of a
moving machine is approx. 2m
(6.6ft) away from the obstructions,
elevate or lower the work
platform, rather than directly
driving towards the obstructions.
• Switch to the low speed gear
before parking the machine that
drives at high speed.
• Do not engage the high speed
gear when the machine is driving
reverse or in restricted or
enclosed work area.
• Check the work area to avoid
ground and overhead
obstructions or other possible
risks.
• Be sure to exercise caution when
using the platform controller and
ground controller. Color-marked
directional arrows indicate the
functions of travel, lift/lower and
steering.
• Users must comply with user,
workplace and government rules
regarding the use of personal
protective equipment (hard hats,
safety belts and gloves, etc.).
• Place the machine on level
ground or in a secured position
before releasing the brake.
• Ensure no people or obstructions
are beneath the platform before
lowering it.
• When the machine is conducting
aerial work, warn the operator/
other people not to work, stand or
walk under the raised boom or
platform. Set up roadblocks if
necessary.
• Limit the speed of travel
according to ground conditions,
crowding, gradients, the presence
and location of personnel and any
COLLISION HAZARDS
other factors that may cause
collisions.
• Do not operate the machine on
the route of any crane or
overhead traveling device unless
the crane control is locked or
precautions have been taken to
prevent any potential collision.
• Keep the machine away from any
stationary objects (buildings etc.)
or mobile objects (vehicles,
cranes etc.).
• Never operate a machine in a
dangerous way or for fun.
CRUSH HAZARDS
A potential crush hazard exists during movement of the
machine. Always keep body parts and clothing a safe
distance from the machine during machine operation.
CRUSH HAZARDS
• Do not place your hands and arms
where they may become crushed
or trapped.
• Do not work under the platform or
the boom when the boom is not
protected by a crane.
• Maintain good judgment and
planning when using the
controller on the ground to
operate the machine. Maintain
proper distance between operator,
machine and fixed object.
