1.5 ELECTROCUTION HAZARD
SECTION 1.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The machine is not electrically insulated.
Maintain a distance of at least 3 metres (10 feet) between any part of the ma-
chine and its occupant, with respective tools and equipment, and an electrical
power line or piece of equipment with an electrical charge rated at least 50,000
Volts.
It is necessary to add 0.3 metres (1 foot) for each additional increase equal to or
less than 30,000 Volts.
It is possible to reduce the minimum safe operational distance in presence of
insulating barriers for the prevention of contacts, if those barriers have been ad-
justed to the voltage of the electrical lines they are set to protect.
The barriers must not be a part of the machine nor may they be connected to it .
The minimum operational safety distance may be reduced within the operational
dimensions indicated by the insulating barriers. This distance is to be deter-
mined by a qualified person subject to the company, local and governmental
regulations regarding the undertaking of work operations in the proximity of high
voltage equipment.
1.6 TOPPLING HAZARD
•
Before driving the machine, the user must become familiar
with the surface area of the workplace. While driving the
vehicle, do not exceed the slopes or the transversal slopes
permitted.
•
Do not raise the platform or drive the machine with the plat-
form raised on a slope or on an irregular or soft surface.
•
Before driving onto floors, bridges, trucks or other surfaces,
verify the maximum load bearing values of those.
•
Do not exceed the maximum load of the elevated platform.
Distribute cargo uniformly over the cargo compartment and
on the platform.
•
Keep the chassis of the machine at a minimum distance of
0.6 metres (2 feet) from holes, rough areas, descents, obsta-
cles, debris, hidden holes and other potential hazards that
may be found on ground level.
•
Do not attempt to use the machine as a crane. Do not tie or
bind the machine to any other adjacent structure.
•
Do not increase the size of the platform with extensions of
the landing or unauthorised additions. If the area of the ma-
chine exposed to the wind is increased, its stability is de-
creased.
•
If the lifting group or the platform become stuck in such a
manner that one or more wheels come off of the ground, it is
necessary to have the operator climb down off of the plat-
form before attempting to free the machine. To stabilise the
machine and have personnel descend from the platform, use
a crane, a fork lift truck or other suitable equipment.
•
It is strictly forbidden to go in and out the platform when
raised
