SECTION 5 - EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

Operator Unable to Control Machine

IF THE PLATFORM OPERATOR IS PINNED, TRAPPED OR
UNABLE TO OPERATE OR CONTROL THE MACHINE:
DO NOT OPERATE WITH PRIMARY POWER SOURCE (ENGINE OR ELECTRIC MOTOR) IF
PERSONS ARE PINNED OR TRAPPED. USE AUXILIARY POWER INSTEAD.
1. Operate the machine from ground controls ONLY with the
assistance of other personnel and equipment (cranes, over-
head hoists, etc.) as may be required to safely remove the
danger or emergency condition.
2. Other qualified personnel on the platform may use the plat-
form controls with regular or auxiliary power. DO NOT CON-
TINUE OPERATION IF CONTROLS DO NOT FUNCTION
NORMALLY.
3. Cranes, forklift trucks or other equipment which may be
available are to be used to remove platform occupants and
stabilize motion of the machine in case machine controls are
inadequate or malfunction when used.
5-4
Platform or Boom Caught Overhead
If the platform or boom becomes jammed or snagged in over-
head structures or equipment, do not continue operation of the
machine from either the platform or the ground until the opera-
tor and all personnel are safely moved to a secure location. Only
then should an attempt be made to free the platform using any
necessary equipment and personnel. Do not operate controls to
cause one or more wheels to leave the ground.
