RESPONSIBILITIES (for Dealers, Owners, Users, Operator, Lessors and Lessees) DANGER: FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH YOUR REQUIRED RESPONSIBILITIES IN THE USE AND OPERATION OF THE AERIAL DEVICE COULD RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY. IMPORTANT You are required by ANSI/SIA A92.2 to read and understand YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES before you use or operate the Aerial Device.
SAFETY Only properly trained operators are qualified to the locations of the decals. For your convenience operate the Versalift aerial lift. Operator training these decals are pictured on the following pages as a shall include complete instruction and understanding quick reference for reviewing safety concerns and for of the manufacturer’s manuals, employer’s work providing part numbers when ordering replacements.
Then determine a corrective course of action to respond to the situa tion. This habit will sharpen your safety awareness, quicken your reaction time, and prevent many accidents. THINK SAFETY The following sketches illustrate some of the unsafe situations that might occur during the use or operation of the Versalift.

Stow the booms securely before moving the truck. Maintain safe clearances from electrical power lines and apparatus. The aerial lift does not provide protection from contact or proximity to an electrically charged conductors and another conductor. Whenever tools or equipment are included with the operator in the platform the combined weight must not exceed the rated load capacity.
