5.1 General
The following information is provided to assist you in
the use and application of servicing and maintenance
procedures contained in this chapter.
NOTE
The illustrations in this manual are for instructional
purposes only. The models and components
shown may appear somewhat different from
those on your actual MEWP.
5.1-1 Safety and Workmanship
Your safety, and that of others, is the first
consideration when engaging in the maintenance of
equipment. Always be conscious of weight. Never
attempt to move heavy parts without the aid of a
mechanical device. Do not allow heavy objects to rest
in an unstable position. When raising a portion of the
equipment, ensure that adequate support is provided.
Unless specifically noted otherwise, before beginning
any procedure:
1. Park the mobile elevating work platform (MEWP)
on a firm, level surface.
2. Retract and lower the boom, riser, and platform
until the MEWP is in the stowed position.
3. Pull out the emergency stop buttons on the
base controls and on the platform controls.
4. Turn the keyswitch to the off position .
5. Disconnect one of the battery connectors.
After completing any procedure which involves
modifying, adjusting, or replacing any hydraulic or
electrical components, perform all of the function tests
given in your unit’s Operating Manual.
WARNING
Ensure you maintain three points of contact when
mounting/dismounting the platform.
WARNING
DO NOT operate any control on the platform
control console without proper fall protection
secured to the designated location in the platform.
Failure to avoid this hazard could result in death or
serious injury!
WARNING
Ensure there are no people or obstructions in
the test area, and there is sufficient space for the
boom and drive functions required for the given
procedures.
