Chapter 2. Safety Devices
All personnel on the platform should attach their fall
restraint lanyards to one of the lanyard anchor
points.
Gravity gate
Figure 2.4 - Gravity Gate
The gravity gate is the place in the platform guard-
rail system where you should enter and leave the
platform. Raise the gate and step under it onto the
platform. Once you have entered the platform and
attached your fall restraint lanyard to an anchor
point, check to see that the gravity gate has fallen
back into place.
Guardrails
Figure 2.5 - Guardrails
The guardrails help protect you from falling off the
platform. Be sure the guardrails are properly in-
stalled and that the gravity gate or swinging gate is
in place.

Foot switch
Figure 2.6 - Foot Switch
The foot switch prevents the platform from moving
if something accidentally pushes one of the plat-
form-moving controls on the platform control box.
Stepping on the foot switch is an action that must
be performed, at the same time as another action,
to make the platform move.
Bubble level
Figure 2.7 - Bubble Level
A bubble level is located on the trailer side rail, be-
side the outrigger controls. Watch the bubble level
while you set the stabilisers. Lower the stabilisers,
one at a time, just enough to center the bubble in
the circle on top of the guage. When the bubble is
centered the platform is level and can be safely
raised.
