Safety Precautions (Continued)
Know and understand the safety precautions before going on to next section.
Fall Protection
The guardrail system provides fall protection for the
occupants. If additional fall protection is required,
by an employer or the authority having jurisdiction,
Skyjack recommends the use of a fall restraint
system to keep an occupant within the confines of
the platform, and thus not expose the occupant to
any fall hazard requiring a fall arrest. When used,
lanyards should only be attached to dedicated
attachment points on the platform.
All personal fall protection equipment must comply
with applicable governmental regulations and must
be inspected and used in accordance with the
manufacturer’s recommendations.
All personal fall protection equipment must be
attached only to approved anchorage points within
the platform.
WARNING
Entering and exiting the aerial platform
should only be done using the three
points of contact.
• Use only equipped access openings.
• Enter and exit only when the aerial
platform is in the fully retracted position.
• Do use three points of contact to enter and exit
the platform. Enter and exit the platform from
the ground only. Face the aerial platform when
entering or exiting the platform.
• Three points of contact means that two hands and
one foot or one hand and two feet are in contact
with the aerial platform or the ground at all times
during entering and exiting.
WARNING
An operator should not use any aerial
platform that:
• does not appear to be working properly.
• has been damaged or appears to have worn
or missing parts.
• has alterations or modifications not approved
by the manufacturer.
• has safety devices which have been altered
or disabled.
• has been tagged or locked out for non-use or
repair.
Failure to avoid these hazards could
result in death or serious injury.
Job site Inspection
• Do not use in hazardous locations.
• Perform a thorough job site inspection prior to
operating the aerial platform, to identify potential
hazards in your work area.
• Be aware of moving equipment in the area. Take
appropriate actions to avoid collision.
