SAFETY SYMBOLS

SAFETY SYMBOLS

This manual contains important information on the safe use of your Aerial Work Platform. Your failure to read, understand and follow all safety rules, warnings and instructions will unnecessarily expose you and others to dangerous situations. For your safety and the safety of those around you, you must operate your aerial work platform as instructed in this manual.

You, the operator, are the single most important factor for safety when using any piece of equipment. Learn to operate your work platform in a safe manner.

To help you recognize important safety information, we have identified warnings and instructions that directly impact on safety with the following signals:

A DANGER

"DANGER" INDICATES AN IMMINENTLY HAZARDOUS SITUATION WHICH, IF NOT AVOIDED, WILL RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY. THIS SIGNAL WORD IS TO BE LIMITED TO THE MOST EXTREME SITUATIONS.

"WARNING" INDICATES A POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS SITUATION WHICH, IF NOT AVOIDED, COULD RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.

A CAUTION

"Caution" indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury. It is also used to alert against unsafe practices and for property-damage-only situations.

One final note: The best method to protect yourself and others from injury or death is to use common sense. If you are unsure of any operation, don't start until you are satisfied that it is safe to proceed.

START-UP PROCEDURES
SHIFT CHECKS

Before the machine is put into use each shift, the following checks should be completed to make sure that the machine is safe and in acod condition.

Refer to checklists at back of this manual for periodic maintenance requirements and additional procedures for severe duty applications:

  • _____ Visually inspect all machine components, i.e. missing parts, torn or loose hoses, hydraulic fluid leaks, torn or disconnected wires, etc. Both compartment doors can be opened to inspect components inside.
  • ____ Check volt meter on ground controls for battery condition, battery electrolyte level and wire connections.
  • Check hydraulic fluid level with booms fully retracted and lowered.
  • ____ Check that all shutoff valves on the hydraulic tank are "OPEN". When open, valve handles will be parallel with the length of the valve.

The shutoff values on the hydraulic tank must be left open at all times, except during repairs or transport. If one or more of these values are closed when the machine is running, extensive pump damage will occur.

  • Check hoses for worn areas.
  • ____ Check hose carrier to make sure that it is not bent or sagging.
  • Check platform rails and safety gate latch for damage.
  • ____ Check pivot pins for security.
    • Check that all warning and instructional labels are legible and secure.
