Safety Rules
Electrocution Hazard
THIS MACHINE IS NOT
INSULATED!
USE OF THE AERIAL WORK PLATFORM: This aerial work platform is intended to lift persons and his tools as well as the material
used for the job. It is designed for repair and assembly jobs and assignments at overhead workplaces (ceilings, cranes, roof structures,
buildings etc.). All other uses of the aerial work platform are prohibited!
THIS AERIAL WORK PLATFORM IS NOT INSULATED! For this reason it is imperative to keep a safe distance from live parts of electrical equipment!
Exceeding the specified permissible maximum load is prohibited! See “Special Limitations” on page4 for details.
The use and operation of the aerial work platform as a lifting tool or a crane (lifting of loads from below upwards or from up high on
down) is prohibited!
NEVER exceed the manual force allowed for this machine. See “Special Limitations” on page 4 for details.
DISTRIBUTE all platform loads evenly on the platform.
NEVER operate the m achin e withou t first surve y ing th e w ork area f or su rf a ce ha zards such as h oles , dro p-offs , b um ps , curb s, or deb ris;
and avoiding them.
OPERATE machine only on surfaces capable of supporting stabiliser/outrigger loads.
NEVER operate the machine when wind speeds exceed this machine’s wind rating. See “Beaufort Scale” on page4 for details.
IN CASE OF EMERGENCY push EMERGENCY STOP switch to deactivate all powered functions.
IF ALARM SOUNDS while platform is elevated, STOP, carefully lower platform and check all outriggers are secure and the chassis is
levelbefore resuming operation.
Climbing up the r ailing of the pla tf orm, standi ng on o r st epping from th e platform onto build ings , st eel or p ref a b conc rete s tructures , etc.,
is prohibited!
Dismantling the gravity drop bar or other railing components is prohibited! Al ways mak e certain that the gravity drop bar is close d and
securely locked!
It is prohibited to keep the gravity drop bar in an open position (held open with tie-straps) when the platform is raised!
To extend the height or the range by placing of ladders, scaffolds or similar devices on the platform is prohibited!
NEVER perform service on machine while platform is elevated without blocking elevating assembly.
INSPECT the machine thoroughly for cracked w elds, loose or m iss in g h ardware, hydraulic lea ks, loose wire co nne cti ons, and damaged
cables or hoses before using.
VERIFY that all labels are in place and legible before using.
NEVER use a machine that is damaged, not functioning properly, or has damaged or missing labels.
To bypass any safety equipment is prohibited and presents a danger for the persons on the aerial work platform and in its working
range.
NEVER charge batteries near sparks or open flame. Charging batteries emit explosive hydrogen gas.
Modifications to the aerial work platform are prohibited or permissible only at the approval by Ui.
AFTER USE, secure the work platform from unauthorized use by turning both keyswitches off and removing key.
the machine while elevated unless the
Tip Over Hazard Collision Hazard
NEVER elevate the platform or drive
machine is on a firm, level surface.
NEVER position the platform
without first checking for overhead
obstructions or other hazards.
Fall Hazard
NEVER climb, stand, or sit on
platform guardrails or midrail.

The TL38 is fitted with a load sensing system designed to comply with the requirements os BS EN 280 : 2001
If a load equivelent to 90% of safe working load is lifted a fault code “03” will be displayed on the digital
display on the platform control box. If a load which is greater than the safe working load is present in the
basket all machine functions will cease to operate and an acoustic warning will sound. In order to return to
normal operation a load equal to or less than the safe working load must be present in the basket and the
power must be re-cycled, power can be re-cycled by pushing the emergency stop button and releasing it
again.
