7.14 SKYSENSE®
SkySense is not intended to replace or reduce the need for the operator to be
aware of the environment around the machine. Hazards that will cause serious
injury or death may not be prevented or reduced by SkySense. The operator must
always look in the direction of travel, avoid power lines, avoid obstacles that could
strike the machine or persons in the platform, and follow all instructions, decals,
and other warnings provided with this machine.
The operator must not rely on SkySense as a substitute for following the
instructions and warnings contained in the manuals and placards provided with
this machine
SkySense is intended to assist the operator. SkySense may not detect certain
objects depending on shape, type of material, or orientation of the object to the
sensors. It is the operator's responsibility to be aware of their surroundings at all
times.
De-rate the platform by 10 lb (4.5 kg) per bar when installed on the platform (20 lb
(9 kg) or 30 lb (14 kg) total).
Note: SkySense is not active when operating the machine from the ground controls.
7.14.1 Preparation and Inspection
Pre-Operation Inspection:
1. Inspect each of the SkySense tubes for dents, cracks, or other damage.
2. Inspect each SkySense sensor for any damage to the housing or sensor.
To test the SkySense system:
1. In an area free of obstructions, ensure the machine is on a smooth, firm surface
within the limits of the maximum operating slope.
2. From the platform control console, elevate the boom until the bottom of the
platform is at least 6 feet off the ground.
3. Continue to elevate the platform.
4. While elevating, hold your hand 6 inches to 12 inches above one of the upward
facing sensors. The machine should stop, and the LED corresponding to that
sensor (left LED for left sensor bar; right LED for right sensor bar; both LEDs for
center sensor bar or overhead sensor) should be red.
