EMERGENCY OPERATION

5.3.1 Operator Unable to Control Machine
If the platform operator is pinned, trapped or unable to operate or control machine, do
the following:
1. Other personnel should operate the machine from ground controls only as
required.
2. Other qualified personnel on the platform may use the platform controls.
Do not continue operation if controls do not function properly.
3. Cranes, forklift trucks or other equipment can be used to remove platform
occupants and stabilize motion of the machine.
5.3.2 Platform or Boom Caught Overhead or Boom Movement
Prevented by Boom Control System
Lowering the boom onto an object or structure may cause the boom control system to
prevent movement of the machine. This can include movement necessary to lift the
boom off the object. Additionally, if the platform or boom becomes jammed or snagged
in overhead structures, movement of the boom can be regained by doing the following:
1. Shut off the machine.
2. Rescue all people in the platform before freeing the machine. Personnel must be
out of the platform before operating any controls on the machine.
3. Use cranes, forklifts, or other equipment to stabilize motion of the machine to
prevent a tip over as required.
4. From the ground controls, use the Auxiliary Power System to carefully free the
platform or boom from the object.
5. Once clear, restart the machine and return the platform to a safe position.
6. Inspect the machine for damage. If the machine is damaged or does not operate
properly, turn off the machine immediately. Report the problem to the proper
maintenance personnel. Do not operate the machine until it is declared safe for
operation.
