SECTION 1 - SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Crushing And Collision Hazards

• Personal protection equipment must be worn by all
operating and ground personnel.

• Check work area clearances above, on sides, and bot­tom while moving the machine, and lifting or lowering
the platform.

• During platform operation, keep all body parts inside
platform railing.

• Always post a lookout when moving the machine in
areas where vision is obstructed.

• Keep non-operating personnel at least 6 ft. (1.8m) away
while operating machine.

• Exercise extreme caution at all times to prevent obsta­cles from striking or interfering with operating controls
and person in the platform.

• Ensure that operators of other overhead and floor level
machines are aware of the aerial work platform’s pres­ence. Disconnect power to overhead cranes.

• Warn personnel not to work, stand, or walk under a
raised platform. Position barricades on floor as neces­sary.

1.4 PUSHING AND LIFTING MACHINE

• Never allow personnel in platform while pushing or lift­ing machine.

• Always push machine using the handles molded into
the material tray at the front of the machine.

• Do not push unit over soft or uneven surfaces or over
bumps, obstructions, debris, etc.

• When pushing the machine up a slope, push with mast
end (rear) uphill using two people, one on each side of
the machine positioned at the platform.

• Two people may be required when pushing machine on
slopes up to 5°.

• A forklift must be used when moving units on a slope
greater than 5°.

• Do not allow the machine to turn sideways on a slope.

• Ensure platform is fully retracted, platform and material

try are empty prior to pushing or lifting machine.

• When lifting machine with a forklift, position forks only at
