SECTION 5 - EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

Platform or Boom Caught Overhead

If the platform or boom becomes jammed or snagged in
overhead structures or equipment, rescue platform occu-
pants prior to freeing the machine.

Boom Movement Prevented By Boom Control

System

Lowering the boom onto an object or structure, with the
boom at high angles, may cause the boom control system to
prevent movement of the machine. This can include move-
ment necessary to lift the boom off the object. Movement of
the boom can be regained by observing the following:
1. Shut off the engine.
2. Rescue platform occupants prior to freeing machine.
3. Use cranes, forklifts or other equipment to stabilize
motion of the machine as required.
4. From the ground control position, use the Auxiliary
Power System to carefully raise the boom off the object.
5. Once clear, restart the engine and return the platform to
the ground.
6. Inspect the machine for damage before continued use
of the machine.
