Platform Safety-aerial EEC-0070 V1.3
Platform Safety
This aerial device shall not be used to lift personnel under, beside, or over
electric power lines if any combination of boom, personnel platform, load line, and
machine component will enter the prohibited zone as specified in the MINIMUM
CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS table or the clearances as dictated by applicable
governmental regulations.
Platform Installation
A. Position the truck and aerial device for use as outlined in the Owner’s Manual.
B. If the platform has been transported to the job site on the truck, attach the
loadline hook to the platform and set the platform on the ground at a radius that
will allow the platform to be pinned onto the boom or jib, whichever is to be used.
C. Remove loadline from boom sheave case, remove anti-two-block-downhaul
weight from loadline and stow loadline on the block provided on top of the main
boom section.
D. Attach anti-two-block override flag onto the anti-two-block switch.
E. If the platform is to be used on the jib tip, deploy the jib and extend the second jib
section if required. Consult load chart to verify that the basket and personnel
combined weights fall within the allowable load rating of the aerial device.
F. Position the platform and pin the platform bracket to the sheave head of the
boom or jib.
G. When reinstalling the loadline, make sure the anti-two-block switch override flag
is removed and the anti-two-block system tested for proper operation prior to
hoisting loads on the aerial device loadline.
To remove the platform, reverse the above procedure. Inspect the platform and replace
any damaged parts or labels prior to the next use of the platform.
Operation
A. When setting up at a job site, make sure all outriggers and stabilizers are
extended to level the truck and the ground is capable of supporting the imposed
loads.
