Emergency Controls

5.1

GENERAL

CHECKING THE OPERATION OF THE EMERGENCY CONTROLS EVERY DAY

AND/OR BEFORE EACH SHIFT IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THE OPERATOR'S

DUTIES

The operator and all ground personnel must be thoroughly familiar with the location and operation of

the EMERGENCY CONTROLS.

5.2

IN THE EVENT OF AN INCAPACITATED OPERATOR

Turn the key switch selector at ground control station to ground (i.e. fully down). Lower on ground

controls as detailed under section 4.3 Ground Control Operation.

5.3

IN THE EVENT OF MACHINE FAILURE

Operate manual hand pump (located adjacent to the base controls) and lower platform to the ground

using either platform or base controls. If initial movement of the machine allows the master alarm to

reset, normal controls will be available. This is then the fastest method of lowering the platform to the

ground.

Note; if the machine is fitted with a cage overload system, and the cage comes into contact with a

fixed object whilst operating at height, this would be detected as an overload condition. All power to

the machine controls would be lost, requiring the machine to be recovered using the Manual Hand

Pump. It is sufficient for the cage to be manoeuvred away from the collision point to release the cage

weigh system, thereby restoring normal machine operation. The cage could then be brought down

using the controls as described previously.

5.4

INCIDENT NOTIFICATION

It is a mandatory requirement that any accident or incident involving a Niftylift, regardless of whether

any party received injury or property was damaged, be reported by telephone directly to Niftylift.

Failure to do so may render any warranty on the machine void.

Responsibilities

6.1

CHANGES IN OWNERSHIP

When a change of ownership of a Niftylift occurs, it shall be the responsibility of the seller to notify

Niftylift direct of the unit, model and serial number and the name and address of the new owner within

60 days. This important step is required so that all future Technical Bulletins are able to reach the

registered owner of each machine without delay. Please note warranties are not transferable.

6.2
