LIFTING EYE (OPTION)
DANGER:
RATED LOAD CAPACITY OF THE AERIAL LIFT.
STRUCTURAL DAMAGE OR INSTABILITY MAY
RESULT, CAUSING DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
The optional lifting eye has been designed to
accommodate limited material handling. Always
extend the outriggers (if so equipped) and fold the
upper boom to as near the stowed position as possible
when using the boom lifting eye. Boom movements
should be smooth to avoid swinging the load. Do not
exceed the load limits stated on the decal beside the
lifting eye. Do not drag the load with the lifting eye.
This is a bad practice and subjects the unit to
damaging sideloads. When lifting loads, position the
lower boom directly over the load before lifting. The
platform should be empty when lifting loads. When
the truck is not level, extreme caution must be used
when rotating loads toward the low side because the
truck stability will be affected. The platform must
not be used for material handling. The platform
was designed to lift personnel only.
DANGER:
HORIZONTAL DISTANCE FROM THE TRUCK TO
THE LOAD WILL REDUCE THE STABILITY OF THE
TRUCK AND MAY RESULT IN DEATH OR
SERIOUS INJURY.
MATERIAL HANDLING SYSTEM
The material handling system is designed to lift loads
from the ground to the work site at the platform. The
main components of this system are the jib pole,
hydraulic winch, and rope.
Determine the weight of the material to be lifted. Do
not lift an unknown load. Refer to the instructions
below and the capacity decals to determine the
available material handling capacities. Do not exceed
the rated lifting capacity. The material handling
system is designed for vertical loads only. Do not
side load.
DANGER:
MAY RESULT FROM MISUSE OR FAILURE
CAUSED BY MISUSE OF THE AERIAL LIFT OR
ITS COMPONENTS. BEFORE OPERATION KNOW
VERSALIFT VO-452/455/460-MHI
NEVER EXCEED THE
INCREASING
THE
DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY
THE INSTRUCTIONS AND LIMITATIONS OF THE
LIFT AND THE MATERIAL HANDLING SYSTEM.
DANGER:
JIB POLE FOR INSULATION UNLESS THE POLE
HAS BEEN RATED, TESTED, AND MAINTAINED
FOR THE APPROPRIATE LINE VOLTAGE. THE
WINCH ROPE IS NOT CONSIDERED INSULATING.
IMPROPER USE OF THE JIB POLE OR WINCH
ROPE MAY RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS
INJURY.
JIB CAPACITY DETERMINATION
The jib capacity is dependent on the upper boom
angle and load line radius. To determine the jib
capacity, follow the procedure below.
To Determine Jib Capacity:
Step 1 – Determine the load line radius. The load line
radius is the horizontal distance from the centerline
of the platform shaft to the winch rope.
Step 2 – Read the jib capacity from the chart. See
Figure 4.7
Chart on Upper Boom
Figure 4.7
MANUAL JIB EXTENSION - With the jib pole
unloaded and horizontal, the jib pole can be manually
extended by removing the retainer pin, sliding the
pole to the desired position, and then re-inserting the
retainer pin.
