11.2.1.Summary table of operator safety standards
The summary table shown below lists the general safety standards that must be
followed scrupulously by the operator before using the platform. Remember that
a sticker with this table can be found near the controls positioned on the basket,
where it is well visible from the control position.
• The elevating platform can only be used by specialised, previously trained
personnel.
• All operations of the extensible structures must be performed from the control
position in the basket. The travel and stabilisation operations must be carried out
after checking that there is complete visibility of the work area. Before starting
operation, examine the work area, taking note of overhead power lines, moving
machinery, such as overhead cranes and road, rail and building equipment.
• The instructions contained in the USER AND OPERATION MANUAL that is
provided together with the machine must be followed scrupulously.
• Do not exceed the maximum allowed capacity indicated in the USER AND
OPERATION MANUAL and on the basket.
• The operator must wear a hard hat and a safety harness appropriately atta‐
ched to the relevant anchorage points on the basket. Remember that the safety
harnesses must be checked periodically. The use of harnesses is compulsory in ac‐
cordance with local legislation in each individual country. In countries where the
law does not require the use of such safety systems, the employer and/or user is
responsible for choosing the system to be used.
• Before starting work, the operator must make sure that all the safety devices
are in good working order, and check the efficiency of the main mechanical parts
as well as the fuel and hydraulic oil level.
• Never operate on soft, rough, slimy ground or on slopes that exceed the al‐
lowable gradient, in order to ensure that the platform is completely stable. Make
sure that the stabilisers rest on stable HORIZONTAL surfaces.
• Level the machineʹs chassis perfectly respecting the maximum allowable gra‐
dient indicated in the USER AND OPERATION MANUAL and visible on the spi‐
rit level.
• Before performing any movement, check that there are no obstacles in the
work area and that no people are in the trajectory.
• It is prohibited to carry out work at a distance of less than 5 metres from power
lines and electrical equipment.
• It is prohibited to operate in unfavourable atmospheric conditions.
• It is prohibited to anchor cables, ropes or the like to the platform and to use
the platform as a lifting device.
