Electrical Hazard
Electrical Hazard Warning
DANGER
THE MHP15J AERIAL WORK PLATFORM
IS NOT ELECTRICALLY INSULATED.
If the platform, booms, or any other conductive part of a MHP15J contacts a high-voltage electrical conduc-
tor, the result can be SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH for persons on or near the machine.
GO NO CLOSER THAN THE MINIMUM SAFE APPROACH DISTANCES
(M.S.A.D) - AS OUTLINED IN TABLE 1. AND FIGURE 3.,
ON THE NEXT PAGE.
Be sure to allow for sag and sway in the wires and the work platform.
If a MHP15J comes in contact with a live electrical conductor, the entire machine can be charged.
If that happens, you should remain on the machine and not contact any other structure or object within
reach. That includes the ground, adjacent buildings, poles, and any object not a part of the MHP15J.
Such contact could make your body a conductor to the other object creating an electrical shock hazard re-
sulting in SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH.
DO NOT attempt to enter or leave the MHP15J until you are sure the electricity has been turned off.
If a MHP15J is in contact with a live conductor, the platform operator MUST warn others on the ground in
the vicinity of the MHP15J to STAY AWAY from the machine, since their bodies can also form a path for
electricity to ground thus creating an electrical shock hazard with possible ELECTROCUTION and
DEATH.
DO NOT attempt to operate the MHP15J ground controls when the platform, booms, or any other conduct-
ing part of a MHP15J is in contact with electrical wires or if there is an immediate danger of such contact.
Regard all conductors as energized.
Personnel working on or near a MHP15J must be continuously aware of electrical hazards, recognizing
that SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH can result if contact with an electrical wire does occur.
