EQUIPMENT USE AND SAFETY
Safe Setup And Use Of The 538 UniLift
Please review the following setup and use instructions before operating the 538 UniLift.
1. Make sure the 538 UniLift has been safely set up away from power lines (maintain at least
10 feet of clearance).
2. Disconnect the 538 UniLift from the transporting vehicle before setup. If the unit is parked
on a slope, chock the wheels or set the outriggers first, to prevent rolling.
3. Extend and set up the outriggers (setup instructions are located at each outrigger). Make
sure the outriggers are set on solid footing. The green light on the lower control panel
indicates that the outriggers are properly set. NOTE: If the green indicator light is lit
before all four outriggers are set, the unit is not safe to operate.
4. If the 538 UniLift is set on a slope (5° maximum), the outriggers MUST be used for leveling.
5. Make sure all electrical power cords are safely stored to prevent tangling or crushing.
6. Always wear the proper body harness, and keep the harness secured to the lanyard ring
whenever operating the 538 UniLift from the bucket.
7. DO NOT exceed the manufacturer's rated lifting capacities.
8. The lower controls are for emergency use only, when a worker is present in the bucket.
9. It is PROHIBITED and DANGEROUS to use railings, planks, ladders, or other devices in the
bucket to achieve additional working height or reach.
10. Watch for overhead obstructions when booming up.
11. Keep observers and other workers out of the work area.
12. DO NOT lift materials with the lanyard ring while operating the 538 UniLift from the bucket.
13. When using the 538 UniLift as a crane, DO NOT stand under the load.
14. Make sure the boom and outriggers are properly stowed, and the bucket is securely locked
in place before transporting the 538 UniLift.
15. DO NOT operate the 538 UniLift if it is in need of repairs.
16. Be sure to read and thoroughly understand the Operation Section in the Operators
Manual.
