5.3. IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
5.3.1. When at risk of losing 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.
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 worksite 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.
Avoid abrupt movements.
4. Turn the boom away from the danger zone to the direction where
stability 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.
5.3.2. In case the power supply is interrupted
(power unit / combustion engine)
As a precaution against possible power failure, the lift is equipped with a battery operated
emergency descent system. The emergency descent can be operated from each control
centre.
1. Start the emergency descent system with the pushbutton. When the
emergency descent button is pressed, the battery operated emergency
descent unit starts. The emergency descent system is operational only
when the pushbutton is being pressed.
2. Reduce the outreach to the side by retracting the telescopic boom.
Avoid abrupt movements.
3. Lower the boom.
4. Lower the articluated arms
5. Establish the reason for interruption of the energy supply.
