Section 2 – General Safety Precautions
Safety instructions
2.2 Safety instructions
WARNING
DO NOT operate this MEWP without the correct
training and authorization. If you do not obey,
there is a risk of death or serious injury.
WARNING
DO NOT operate this MEWP in closed areas
without sufficient airflow for exhaust gas and
fumes. If you do not obey, there is a risk of death
or serious injury.
WARNING
Failure to heed the following safety precautions
could result in tip-over, falling, crushing, or other
hazards leading to death or serious injury.
KNOW all national, state/provincial or territorial, and
local rules which apply to your MEWP and worksite.
MAKE SURE all the safety and instructional labels
are correctly attached on the MEWP in the correct
location. Clean or replace labels that you cannot read.
DISCONNECT and lock the main power disconnect
on the left side of the MEWP when leaving the MEWP
unattended to prevent unauthorized use.
DO NOT wear jewelry or loose
clothing that could become
caught or entangled.
DO NOT allow the
entanglement of ropes, cables
or hoses with the MEWP,
adjacent structures or objects.
Prevent falling from the
platform. Always keep a firm
footing on the platform floor
when working thereon. Do not
climb on the toe-board, mid-rail,
or top-rail. Do not use planks,
ladders, or any other devices
on the platform for achieving
additional height or reach.
DO NOT raise the platform or
operate elevated in windy or
gusty conditions that exceed
the limits specified in
Section 7.5.
DO NOT increase the surface
area of the platform or carry
large surface area items when
exposed to wind. Increasing the
area exposed to the wind will
decrease the MEWP stability.
DO NOT elevate or drive
elevated on a slope. Elevated
driving must be done on a firm,
level surface.
DO NOT drive elevated on a
soft or uneven surface.
DO NOT raise the platform if it
is not on a firm, level surface.
MAKE SURE the ground condition assessment
considers the subsurface voids such as cellars,
basements, culverts, and pipes.
