IMPORTANT SAFETY RULES
Do not operate the machine or transport
personnel with the machine in prohibited live
areas.
Tripping and Fall Hazards
• Before operating the machine, en-
sure that the platform guardrails
are properly installed and that the
platform gates are closed and
properly secured.
• Operators on the platform must
wear the safety belt properly and
secure the safety belt to the speci-
fied fixing point with hooks. Each
fixing point shall only be used by
one person.
• Only enter and exit the platform
through the platform gate, never
through the boom tube, and extra
care should be taken. Before en-
tering and exiting the platform,
make sure the platform is fully
lowered. When entering and exit-
ing the platform, face the platform
and maintain “three-point con-
tact” with the machine with both
hands and one foot or both feet
and one hand.
• Feet must stand steadily on the
platform floor at all times. It is for-
bidden to sit, stand or climb on
the platform guardrails.
• Never use ladders, boxes, steps,
boards, or similar items on the
platform to extend the accessible
range.
• Do not allow oil, sludge or other
slippery substances to remain on
work shoes and platform floor.
• Keep the platform floor
unobstructed.
Tipping Hazard
• Before driving the machine onto
any ground, bridges, trucks and
other surfaces, check if the load-
ing capacity of these surfaces is
sufficient to support the machine
(machine weight + platform load).
Never drive the machine on surfa-
ces or edges that are not sup-
ported or under-supported.
• Operators must know about the
ground conditions in the work
area before work.
• Do not use the machine on mov-
ing surfaces or vehicles.
• The total weight of personnel, de-
vices and materials on the plat-
form shall not exceed the
maximum carrying capacity of the
platform, and all loads shall be
kept within the specified range of
the platform.
• The machine can only be driven
at low speed on slopes.
• It is forbidden to drive the ma-
chine on slopes, steps or arched
surfaces that exceed the maxi-
mum allowable climbing angle of
the machine.
