- Safety precautions
3.2.3 - Risk of electrocution
The machine is not electrically insulated and does not offer any insulation
protection.
The risks of electrocution are high in the following situations :
• Close to live power lines, consider the movement of the machine and the sway of the electric power
lines particularly in windy conditions.
• In the event that you were to make accidental contact with a high voltage line, wait for the power to
the line to be switched off before operating the machine.
• During storms.
Never use the machine as a welding earth.
Maintain a minimum safe distance with regard to power lines and electrical devices.
Respect the local rules and the minimum safety distance from power lines..
Minimum safety distance
N.B. -:-This table is applicable, except when the local regulations are more strict.
3.2.4 - Risk of uncontrolled movement and overturning
When in the platform, respect the following instructions :
• Before operating the machine on any indoor or outdoor surface (premises, bridge,
truck, etc.), check that the surface is capable of supporting the combined machine
weight and platform capacity. Check the maximum value in the technical characteristics
(
Section G 1-Main characteristics).
• Remain vigilant of driving direction reversal at the platform. Check the driving direction with the help
of the red or green arrow on the chassis relative to the red and green arrows on the platform control
box.
• Always ensure that the chassis is never driven any closer than 1 m(3 ft3 in) m to holes, bumps, tilts,
obstructions, debris and ground coverings that may hide holes and other dangers.
• During motion direction reversal from the platform or ground control box, the joysticks or switches
must be stopped in neutral position before reversing the direction of motion.
• Taking note of the overall load dimensions and weight, place the loads in the centre of the platform or
distribute them it a uniform manner.
• If the tilt alarm sounds when the platform is raised, lower platform completely, then reposition machine
onto level ground before raising platform.
