• Watch for obstructions around machine and overhead when
driving. Check clearances above, on sides, and bottom of plat-
form during all operations.

obstructed.

• Keep non-operating personnel at least 6 ft. (1.8m) away from
machine during all operations.
• Under all travel conditions, the operator must limit travel
speed according to conditions of ground surface, congestion,
visibility, slope, location of personnel, and other factors.
• Be aware of stopping distances in all drive speeds. When driv-
ing in high speed, switch to low speed before stopping. Travel
grades in low speed only.
• Do not use high speed drive in restricted or close quarters or
when driving in reverse.
• Exercise extreme caution at all times to prevent obstacles from
striking or interfering with operating controls and persons in
the platform.
• Ensure that operators of other overhead and floor level
machines are aware of the MEWP's presence. Disconnect
power to overhead cranes.
• Do not operate over ground personnel. Warn personnel not to
work, stand, or walk under a raised boom or platform. Position
barricades on floor if necessary.
