Working on slopes that exceed 5 degrees may result in truck tipping over.
All tires must remain on the ground. Position or park truck so indicator is in the
green area. Set Outriggers (if equipped) so indicator
remains in green area.
May result from overturning machine

WHAT IS INSULATED AND WHAT IS NOT INSULATED

The term insulated means separated from oth er co nd uctive surf aces by a dielectric substance (including air space) offering a high resistance to the passage of current (from OSHA 1926.960).
Area A. Upper Boom Insulation, provides an insulating area between area D and earth ground when in properly maintained condition.
Area B. Lower Boom Insert, provides an insulating area between area C and area E when in properly maintained condition.
Area C. Elbow, does not provide insulatio n. This area cont ains c onducti ve mate rial s such as cy lind ers, p ins, boom structure, and other metal components. The operator shall not allow any portion of this area to come in contact with an energized phase, ground conductor, or grounded objects. Proper protective devices shall be used on all conductors. Any contact with a ground and phase line or between two-phase conductors will create a hazard.
Area D. Boom Tip, does not provide insulation. This area contains conductive materials such as control levers, un-insulated platform(s), platform support shaft, boom-tip structure and other metal components. These objects must be considered connected. The operator shall not allow any portion of this area to come in contact with an energized phase, ground conductor or grounded objects. Proper protective devices shall be used on all conductors. The operator shall not make contact with any portion of this area when working on or near an energized phase, ground or groun ded o bject s, unle ss wearin g proper p rotective clothi ng such as rubber gloves and sleeves rated at the voltage of the lines. Any contact with a phase line, a ground and phase or between two-phase conductors will create a hazard. Accidental contact of any portion of area D to an energized conductor will energize the entire area D.
NOTE: A properly maintained platform liner will only provide protection for those portions of the
body or materials entirely within the liner and not in contact with any part of area D.
Area E. Does not provide insulation. This area contains conductive materials such as cylinders, pins, boom
structure, turntable, pedestal and other metal components. The operator shall not allow any portion of this area to come in contact with an energized phase, ground, or grounded objects. Proper protective devices shall be used on all conductors. This area is attached to the vehicle and connected trailers, which must be barricaded and/or grounded through an approved ground system when working in the vicinity of energized conductors. Any contact with a phase or between two-phase conductors will create a hazard.

Neutral, static and ground lines are current carrying conductors and require proper handling. Treat them as energized.
You must read the operators manual to fully understand the protection the Aerial Device will give you.
Anytime the platform occupant(s) contact two items at different potential without proper personnel protective equipment, their body may become a path for electric current, and they may be electrocuted. This includes touching the controls, any tools, or items on the boom tip while also contacting a line or ground.
