BOLT-ON EXTERNAL FALL ARREST

The bolt-on external fall arrest system is designed to provide a lan-
yard attach point while allowing the operator to access areas outside
the platform. Exit/Enter the platform through the gate area only. The
system is designed for use by one person.
Personnel must use fall protection at all times. A full body harness is
required with lanyard not to exceed 6 ft. (1.8 M) in length, that limits
the maximum arrest force to 900 lb (408 kg).
External Fall Arrest System capacity is 310 lb (140 kg) - one (1) person
maximum.
Do not move platform during use of the external fall arrest system.
DO NOT OPERATE ANY MACHINE FUNCTIONS WHILE OUTSIDE OF PLATFORM. BE
CAREFUL WHEN ENTERING/EXITING THE PLATFORM AT ELEVATION.
