  • Page 14: Guidelines For Safe Work Practice

    For a Versalift without outriggers, or to be used in a restricted work envelope without outriggers, the wheels must be chocked. Do not operate the Versalift on a slope greater than what it is rated for – 5° being the normal rating. Refer to the machine plate for the rating.
  • Page 15 THINK SAFETY The following sketches illustrate some of the unsafe situations that might occur during the use or operation of the Versalift. Some of these safety problems are very basic and as a result are often taken for granted. Always engage the stabilisers, and maintain the correct tyre pressure to increase vehicle stability.
  • Page 16 Always wear a personnel restraint system attached to the lanyard anchor. Don’t park the vehicle on a hill unless absolutely necessary. When the vehicle is parked on a slope, take the special precautions defined in Chapter 4, “Operation”. 2-2-3...
