Push, winch and tow the MEWP
6.4 Push, winch and tow the
MEWP
WARNING
Tip-over hazard. Make sure the platform is fully
lowered before you push, winch, or tow, unless
the movement is necessary to clear an obstacle.
Sudden movement can cause the MEWP to
become unstable.
In emergency situations where the MEWP
functions are not available and an obstruction
prevents the platform lower function, carefully
move the MEWP sufciently far away to clear the
obstruction. Do not move at a speed faster than 50
mm/sec (2 in/sec).
If you do not obey, there is a risk of death, serious
injury, and/or MEWP damage.
WARNING
Runaway hazard. After you release the brakes,
the MEWP rolls freely on slopes. Do not manually
disengage the brakes unless the MEWP is on a
level surface or the MEWP is fully restrained.
Keep the travel path clear at all times.
If you do not obey, there is a risk of death, serious
injury, and/or MEWP damage.
WARNING
When you push, winch, or tow, do not move the
MEWP at a speed faster than 3.2 km/h (2.0 mph).
If you do not obey, there is a risk of death or
serious injury.

6.5 Move the MEWP for
transport
When you drive a MEWP onto or remove it from a
transport vehicle on a public road, give protection to
the person(s) involved. Protection can include:
▪
Warning cones
▪
Road signs and signaling devices
▪
Applicable personal protective equipment, such
as reective clothing
▪
Flag personnel to warn other vehicles of the
MEWP and other related vehicles
▪
Other applicable control measures.
Obey all the national, state/provincial/territorial, and
local safety rules when you move the MEWP for
transport. Only qualied personnel with authorization
must drive the MEWP onto or remove it from a
transport vehicle.
Be sure the vehicle capacity and load equipment,
hoists, chains, straps, and other related items are
sufcient to withstand the maximum MEWP weight.
Park the transport vehicle on a level surface. Use
wheel chocks or blocks to prevent unintended vehicle
movement during this operation.
