Do not operate any machine functions while outside of platform. Be careful when
entering/exiting the platform at elevation.
If the external fall arrest system is used to arrest a fall or is otherwise damaged, the
entire system must be replaced and the platform fully inspected before returning to
service. Refer to the service manual for removal and installation procedures.
The external fall arrest system requires an annual inspection and certification. The
annual inspection and certification must be performed by a qualified person other
than the user.
6.2.1 Inspection Before Use
The external fall arrest system must be inspected before each use of the machine.
Replace components if there are any signs of wear or damage.
Before each use, perform a visual inspection of the following components:
• Cable: Inspect cable for proper tension, broken strands, kinks, or any signs of
corrosion.
