Operators must be aged over 18, and hold an operating permit issued by
their employer after undergoing a medical check and a practical test that
prove they are apt to operate the machine. Always cheek for specific
requirements in the countrf of use.
There must always be at least two operators present, so that one of them
at ground level can:
• Take fast action if necessary.
• Take over the controls in case of accident or malfunction.
• Monitor and prevent movement of vehicles and people near the plat-
form.
• Guide the platform operator if required.
1.2.2 - Environment
Never use the machine:
• On ground that is soft, unstable, congested.
• On ground that has a slope greater than permissible limit.
• In winds greater than the permissible limit. If used outside, use an an-
emometer or refer to the beafort scale ref. clause 1-7 to ensure that
the wind speed does not exceed the permissible limit.
• Near power lines (check minimum safe approach distances according
to voltage carried).
• In temperatures less than -15°C (especially in refrigerated chambers).
Consult us if it is necessary to work below -15°C.
• In explosive atmospheres.
• In poorly-ventilated areas, since the exhaust fumes are toxic.
• During storms (risk of lightning).
• In the dark, unless the optional floodlight is fitted.
• In the presence of intense electromagnetic fields (radar, moving and
high currents).
DRIVING ON PUBLIC ROADS IS PROHIBITED.
1.2.3 - Using the machine
