B-3.2 Getting Ready To Work; B-3.3 During Work Or Maintenance - Genie GTH-3512 Operator's Manual

■ B-3.2 GETTING READY TO WORK
Before any operation, following precautions should be
taken:
• First of all, make sure that the maintenance
interventions have been carried out with care
according to the established schedule (see section
D - Maintenance).
CAUTION
Set the machine to working configuration and sway
it. Use the special inclinometer to the right of the
driving place to check that the machine is level
before operating it.
• Ensure you have enough fuel to avoid a sudden
stop of the engine, especially during a crucial
manoeuvre.
• Clean instruments, data plates, lights and the cab
windscreen thoroughly.
• Check the correct functioning of all the safety
devices installed on the machine and in the job
site.
• In case of troubles or difficulties, inform the foreman
at once. Never start working under unsafe
conditions.
• Do not carry out any repair work in a makeshift
way to start working!
■ B-3.3 DURING WORK OR MAINTENANCE
During work, and especially maintenance, always pay
the greatest attention:
• Do not walk or stop under raised loads or machine
parts supported by hydraulic cylinders or ropes
only.
• Keep the machine handholds and access steps
always clean from oil, grease or dirt to prevent falls
or slips.
