Electrical Hazard
Minimum Safe Approach Distance
The MHP15J is an all metal boom, NOT ELECTRICALLY INSULATED, aerial work platform. DO NOT op-
erate it near ELECTRICAL conductors. Regard all conductors as being energized. Use the table and illus-
tration below to determine safe clearance from electrical conductors. (Table 1 and Figure 3, below, are
from ANSI/SIA A92.5–1992 Standard, reprinted with permission of Scaffold Industry Association.)

- Do not allow machine personnel or conductive
Danger:
materials inside prohibited zone.
- Maintain M.S.A.D. From all energised lines and parts
as well as those shown.
- Assume all electrical parts and wires are energised
unless known otherwise.
Caution:
- Diagrams shown are only for purposes of illustrating
M.S.A.D. Work positions, not all work positions.
