3.6 Hazards in the work environment
Check the workplace for possible hazards before or during operating the machine
and pay attention to the hazards in the work environment including flammable and
explosive gases or dust, etc.
★
Do not use a battery of a lower weight than the original one. The battery not only provides
power, but also acts as a counterweight, so it is essential to maintain the machine stability.
The weight of each battery for 65/78XEN and 80/100XENS models must be at least 28kg.
The weight of each battery for 80/100/120/140/160XEN and 160XENS models must be at least
35kg.
★
Do not operate the machine when the left/right side door is open.
Unsafe workplace
★
Do not operate the machine on the surface, edges or other places which cannot bear the
machine weight.
The platform can only be lifted or extended when the machine is on solid and
flat ground.
★
Do not use the tilt alarm as a level indicator. The tilt alarm will sound only when the
machine is severely tilted.
★
If the tilt alarm sounds when the platform is lifted, the operator should lower the platform
very carefully, rather than operate the horizontal or limit switch.
★
When the platform is lifted, the driving speed should not exceed 0.8 km/h.
★
Do not operate the machine in strong or gusty winds if the machine is used outdoors. Do not
lift the platform when the wind speed exceeds 12.5m/s. Immediately lower the platform if the
wind speed exceeds 12.5m/s when it is lifted and do not continue operation.
★
Do not drive the platform on an uneven or unstable ground/surface or in other dangerous
conditions when the platform is lifted.
★
Take care and drive the platform slowly when it is retracted and traveling on an uneven
ground or on a gravelly, unstable or smooth surface, close to an entrance or on a steep slope.
★
Do not drive or lift the machine on slopes, steps or arches where the maximum gradeability of
the machine may be exceeded.
