MEASURES TO BE TAKEN IF THE LIFT IS AT RISK OF LOSING ITS
STABILITY
Reduced stability can be caused by a fault in the lift, the wind or other lateral force, collapse of the
standing base or negligence in providing sufficient support. In most cases one sign of reduced stability is
the inclination of the lift.
WHEN AT RISK OF LOSING THE STABILITY
1.
If there is time, try to find out the reason for the reduced stability and the direction of its effect.
Warn other people on the work site using the alarm signal.
2.
If possible, reduce the load from the platform in a safe manner.
3.
Reduce the outreach to the side by retracting the telescopic boom using the emergency descent
system. Avoid abrupt movements.
4.
Turn the boom away from the danger zone, i.e. to a position where the stability of the lift is normal.
5.
Lower the boom.
If the stability has been lost as a result of a fault in the lift, repair such a fault immediately.
Do not use the lift until the fault has been repaired and the condition of the lift has been verified.
IN CASE OF OVERLOADING
1.
If there is time, try to find out the reason for the reduced stability and the direction of its effect.
Warn other people on the work site using the alarm signal.
2.
If possible, reduce the load from the platform in a safe manner.
3.
Reduce the outreach to the side by retracting the telescopic boom using the emergency descent
system.
4.
The green light becomes illuminated when the overload situation is reset. After this the machine may
be operated normally.
IN CASE THE POWER SUPPLY IS INTERRUPTED (power unit/combustion engine)
1.
Lower the boom using the emergency descent system (see point “Emergency descent system”).
2. Establish the reason why the energy supply was interrupted.
IN CASE OF MALFUNCTION, WHEN EVEN THE EMERGENCY DESCENT SYSTEM IS NOT
OPERATIONAL
1. If the emergency descent system does not operate, try to warn other personnel present on the site
so that they can call for help so that the power supply required for normal operation can be
resumed or make the emergency descent system operational by, for example, changing the
battery so that the person on the platform can be lowered safely.
Always check the condition of the emergency descent system battery before putting the lift into
operation.
