Danger of overturning
Before driving the machine, the user must be familiar with the work area surface. While driving, do
not exceed the admitted transversal and longitudinal slopes.
Do not lift the basket or drive the machine with the basket raised (on a self-propelled machine) on
a slope or uneven or soft surface;
Before driving the machine on floors, bridges, lorries and other surfaces, check their maximum
capacity values.
Do not exceed the maximum capacity of the machine. Evenly distribute the loads on the floor of
the work platform as best as possible.
Keep the machine chassis (including stabilisers, if present) at a minimum distance of 0.5 m from
holes, unevenness, descents, obstacles, debris, hidden holes and other potential dangers found at
ground level.
Do not attempt to use the machine as a crane. Do not tie the machine to an adjacent structure.
Do not increase the dimension of the working platform with unauthorised extensions or by
extending the platform.
If the extending structure or the work platform remains jammed so that one or more wheels are
lifted from the ground, the operator is required to climb off the working platform before attempting
to free the machine. To stabilise the machine and have personnel climb down from the work
platform, use a crane, forklift trucks or other adequate equipment.
(For machine not self-propelled) Do not move the machine with the stabilisers engaged (if any) or
with the extending structure raised. Before moving the machine, completely lower the extending
structure.
Danger of crushing and impact
When using the machine or lifting or lowering the work platform, check the distances above, at the
sides and below the said platform.
Do not lean out of the rails of the work platform when the machine is running.
Always pay maximum attention to avoid any obstacles from hitting the operational controls and
people on the work platform or from interfering with them.
Make sure the operators of other machines, overhead or at ground level, are informed of the
presence of the machine.
Warn personnel not to work, stand or transit underneath the lifted platform. Mark off the floor area
with appropriate barriers, as required.
When driving in areas where visibility is limited by obstacles, always have a person precede the
vehicle to signal any dangers.
While driving, always keep non-operational personnel at a minimum distance of 2 m from the
machine.
Adjust the driving speed according to the following conditions: ground surface, traffic, visibility,
slope, location of the personnel and other factors that represent danger of collision or injuries to
personnel.
Take into account braking distances, regardless of the speed of the machine.
Do not drive at high speed in reserved or tight areas or when reversing.
