Electrical Hazard Warning

THE EPV AERIAL WORK PLATFORM IS NOT ELECTRICALLY INSULATED.

If the plat form, booms, or any other con duc tive part of a EPV con tacts a high-volt age elec tri cal con duc tor, the re sult can be SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH for per sons on or near the ma chine.

GO NO CLOSER THAN THE MINIMUM SAFE APPROACH DISTANCES

(M.S.A.D) - AS OUTLINED IN TABLE 1. AND FIGURE 3.,

ON THE NEXT PAGE.

Be sure to al low for sag and sway in the wires and the work plat form.

If a EPV co mes in con tact with a live elec tri cal con duc tor, the en tire ma chine can be charged.

If that hap pens, you should re main on the ma chine and not con tact any other struc ture or ob ject within reach. That in cludes the ground, ad ja cent build ings, poles, and any ob ject not a part of the EPV.

Such con tact could make your body a con duc tor to the other ob ject cre at ing an elec tri cal shock haz ard re sult ing in SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH.

DO NOT at tempt to en ter or leave the EPV un til you are sure the elec tric ity has been turned off.

If a EPV is in con tact with a live con duc tor, the plat form op er a tor MUST warn oth ers on the ground in the vi cin ity of the EPV to STAY AWAY from the ma chine, since their bod ies can also form a path for elec tric ity to ground thus cre at ing an elec tri cal shock haz ard with pos si ble ELECTROCUTION and DEATH.

DO NOT at tempt to op er ate the EPV ground con trols when the plat form, booms, or any other con duct ing part of a EPV is in con tact with elec tri cal wires or if there is an im me di ate dan ger of such con tact.

Re gard all con duc tors as en er gized.

Per son nel work ing on or near a EPV must be con tin u ously aware of elec tri cal haz ards, rec og niz ing that SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH can re sult if con tact with an elec tri cal wire does oc cur.

The fol low ing safety in for ma tion is vi tally im por tant for safe op er a tion of the EPV12J. Fail ure to fol low these in struc tions can re sult in per sonal in jury or DEATH.

❑ Pre-start Inspection

At the start of each work shift, the EPV12J shall be given a vi sual in spec tion and func tion test. See the “Daily In spec tion and Main te nance” chap ter 7, in this man ual for a list of items to in spect and test.

DO NOT operate the EPV12J unless you are trained and authorized, understand the operation characteristics of the EPV12J, and have inspected and tested all functions to be sure they are in proper working order.

❑ Work Place Inspection and Practices

Do not use the EPV12J as a ground for weld ing. Ground to the work piece.

Be fore the EPV12J is used, and dur ing use, check the area in which the EPV12J is to be used for pos si ble haz ards such as, but not lim ited to:

1. Drop-offs or holes.

2. Side slopes.

3. Bumps and floor obstructions.

4. Debris.

5. Overhead obstructions and electrical conductors.

6. Hazardous locations.

7. Inadequate surface and support to withstand all load forces imposed by the aerial platform in all operating configurations.

8. Wind and weather conditions.

9. Presence of unauthorized persons.

10. Other possible unsafe conditions.

Be fore the EPV12J is used, de ter mine the haz ard clas si fi ca tion of any par tic u lar at mo sphere or lo ca tion ac cord ing to ANSI/NFPA 505-1987.

Any EPV12J op er ated in a haz ard ous lo ca tion must be ap proved and of the type re quired by ANSI/NFPA 505-1987.

A recommended safety practice is to have personnel that are trained in the operation of the emergency controls working in the immediate area of the EPV12J to assist the platform operator in the event of an emergency.

1. Safety

When mov ing the plat form, check the clear ance around the EPV12J to avoid con tact with struc tures or other haz ards. Al ways look in the di rec tion of mo tion.

Keep ground per son nel from un der the plat form when the plat form is raised.

Se cure all ac ces so ries, con tain ers, tools, and other ma te ri als in the plat form to pre vent them from ac ci den tally fall ing or be ing kicked off the plat form.

DO NOT en gage in any form of “horse play” or “stunt driv ing” while op er at ing the EPV12J.

DO NOT per mit rid ers on the ma chine any place other than on the plat form.

Re move all loose ob jects stored in or on the ma chine, par tic u larly in the plat form. Re move all ob jects which do not be long in or on the ma chine.

When other mov ing equip ment is in the area, take spe cial pre cau tions to com ply with lo cal reg u la tions re gard ing warn ings.

Never steady the plat form by po si tion ing it against an other plat form.

DO NOT op er ate an EPV12J that is not func tion ing prop erly, or has been dam aged, un til the ma chine has been re paired by a qual i fied main te nance per son.

DO NOT op er ate a EPV12J that does not have all its de cals and plac ards at tached and leg i ble.

Watch for by stand ers and never al low any one to be un der, or to reach through, the ma chine and its equip ment while op er at ing.

Use the rec om mended trans port de vice when load ing the ma chine.

❑ Electrocution

The EPV12J is an all metal boom, NON-INSULATED, ae rial work plat form. DO NOT op er ate it near ELECTRICAL con duc tors. Re gard all con duc tors as be ing en er gized.

DO NOT op er ate out side dur ing a thun der storm.

❑ Tipover and Falling Hazards

DO NOT op er ate the EPV12J from a po si tion on trucks, trail ers, rail way cars, float ing ves sels, scaf folds, or sim i lar equip ment un less the ap pli ca tion is ap proved in writ ing by Snor kel.

If the platform or elevating assembly becomes caught, snagged, or otherwise prevented from normal motion by an adjacent structure or other obstacles such that control reversal does not free the platform, remove all personnel from the

EPV12J – 12246A page 1 - 1

1. Safety

platform before attempts are made to free the platform using ground controls.

Un der nor mal work ing con di tions it is best not to trans fer from the plat form to an other struc ture or vice versa, un less that is the saf est way to do the job. Each sit u a tion must be judged sep a rately tak ing the work en vi ron ment into ac count. The fol low ing guide lines ap ply:

1. Where possible, place the work platform over a roof or walking structure to do the transfer.

2. Transfer your anchorage from one structure to another before you step across.

3. Remember, you might be departing the work platform to a structure where fall arrest is required.

DO NOT climb the rails. Use the entrance.

All plat form oc cu pants MUST wear and use fall re straint. At tach fall re straints to the plat form lan yard an chor points.

DO NOT ex ceed the un re stricted plat form ca pac ity as in di cated on the ca pac ity plac ard at the en trance to the plat form.

ENSURE all four sta bi lizer foot plates are in firm con tact with the ground as laid out on page 1-1 “Work Place In spec tion and Prac tices”. DO NOT raise the boom if the EPV12J is on soft ground. Op er ate the boom only on a firm sur face ca pa ble of with stand ing all load forces im posed by the ae rial work plat form in all op er at ing con di tions.

Do Not carry loads from any point out side of the plat form.

Care shall be taken to pre vent rope, elec tric cords, and hoses, etc., from be com ing en tan gled in the ae rial plat form.

Raise the plat form only when the EPV12J is on level ground.

Main tain a firm foot ing on the plat form floor. Climbing on the guard rails is pro hib ited.

DO NOT use lad ders, planks, or other de vices to ex tend or in crease your work po si tion from the plat form.

DO NOT jerk the con trols. Move the con trols slowly and de lib er ately to avoid jerky and er ratic op er a tion. Al ways stop the con trols in the neu tral, off, po si tion be fore go ing in the op po site di rec tion.

DO NOT use the boom for any pur pose other than to po si tion per son nel, their tools, and ma te ri als.

DO NOT use the EPV12J as a crane, hoist, or jack.

DO NOT op er ate the EPV12J in winds, or wind

gusts, of 28 mph 12.5 m/s) or more.

DO NOT add any thing to the EPV12J that will in crease the wind load ing (ban ners, flags, etc.).

❑ Crushing

Al ways look in the di rec tion of travel. Avoid over head ob struc tions.

Never cover the floor grat ing or oth er wise ob struct your view be low.

Make sure the area be low the plat form is free of per son nel be fore low er ing.

■

Ground Control Box

Con trols for op er at ing the EPV12J from the ground, are lo cated on the right side of the turn ta ble.

NOTE

The number of each control below corresponds to the control’s call out on the control box illustration.

Emergency Stop: Press the EMERGENCY STOP switch cover down, at any time, under any conditions, and the entire machine stops, and nothing moves. This emergency stop switch cover must be up and the switch turned on for anything on the EPV12J to work.

Platform/Ground Selector : Must be in the GROUND position (down) for the ground control box to work. The switch MUST be in the PLATFORM position (up) for the platform control box to work.

Choke/Cold Start: Hold the switch UP while you start an engine that is at ambient air temperature (a "cold" engine). This will choke the engine.

Master Key Switch: This switch works like an automobile ignition switch. Hold it at START until the engine starts, then release it to ON. (-) Turn the Master Key Switch to OFF (O) if the platform is to stay in one position for a long time, that will turn the engine off and save fuel.

Boom Speed: This control determines how fast the booms move. Set it to SLOW (turtle) until you are very familiar with the way the machine works or if the platform is working in dangerous or cramped surroundings.

Stablizer / Boom Selector Switch: Must be in Stablizer (outrigger) position (down) for the outriggers to work. Once outriggers are down and set the switch must be placed in the boom (up) position for the booms to work.

Con trol switches 7 through 10 are the plat form mov ing switches. Each is a three po si tion, mo men tary con tact, nor mally OFF switch.

Jib Boom: UP raises the jib boom. DOWN lowers the jib boom.

10.

Slew: LEFT rotates the entire turntable and boom to the left. RIGHT rotates the entire turntable and boom to the right.

11.

Lift Enable: The platform can only be raised when this light is lit. When this light is not lit the platform will not raise because the outriggers are not properly set.

NOTE

(See “Nomenclature and Serial Numbers” in the “Specifications” chapter 3, for boom identification.)

Lower Boom : UP raises the lower boom. DOWN lowers the lower boom.

Upper Boom: UP raises the upper boom. DOWN lowers the upper boom.

Operating Procedures

This chap ter ex plains how to prop erly start and op er ate an EPV12J. Read and un der stand all the pre vi ous chap ters in this man ual be fore you be gin to op er ate an EPV12J.

If you use the EPV12J for painting be sure the optional sandblast protection kit is installed to protect the hydraulic cylinder rods from paint. Do not leave the EPV12J engine running if you are sandblasting. Sand drawn into the air intake can erode engine parts.

■

Control Stations

An EPV12J can be op er ated from the ground con trol box or from the plat form con trol box. There are ba si cally two dif fer ences be tween ground con trol and plat form con trol op er a tions, both are safety re lated:

1. The ground control box can override the platform control box at any time. If a person operating the machine from the platform becomes incapacitated, a person on the ground can always take over machine control.

2. The outriggers can only be selected from the ground control box and only when the booms are in the stowed position.

8. Operation

Figure 8.1 - Ground Con trol Box Emer gency
