1.2.1 - Operators

The operators must be over 18 and must hold an operating permit issued by the
employer after he has checked their medical fitness and after they have passed
a practical lift driving/operating test.
There must be at least two operators so that one of them can:
• Intervene quickly if necessary.
• Take the controls in the event of an accident or breakdown.
• Monitor and prevent machines and pedestrians going round the lift.
• Guide the lift's operator if required.

1.2.2 - Environment

The user must recognize the surface on which the nacelle will roll.
Never use the machine:
• On soft, unstable, cluttered ground.
• On ground with a bank greater than the permissible limit.
• With exposure to a wind greater than the permissible threshold. If used out-
side, make sure, using an anemometer, that the wind speed is less than or
equal to the permissible threshold.
• Near power lines (find out the minimum approach distance depending on the
voltage). In temperatures below -15°C (particularly in cold stores). Consult
us if it is necessary to work below -15°C.
• In explosive areas.
• During storms (risk of lightning).
• At night without floodlighting.
• When there are very strong electromagnetic fields (radar, mobiles and high
currents).
DO NOT TRAVEL ON PUBLIC HIGHWAYS.

1.2.3 - Using the machine

It is important to ensure that in normal use, that is lift operation, the lift post
selection key remains in the lift position so as to be able to control the lift from the
platform. In the event of a problem on the platform, a person present and trained
in emergency/standby manoeuvres can assist by putting the key in the ground
control position.
Do not use the machine with:
• A load greater than the nominal load.
• More people than the authorized number.
• A lift lateral force greater than the permissible value.
• A wind greater than the permissible speed.
