• Do not increase platform size with unauthorised deck extensions or attachments.
• Do not raise the platform with the access apertures open. Keep the access apertures closed whilst the
platform is raised.
• If the scissor arm or platform is caught so that one or more wheels are off the ground, all the persons
and tools must be removed before attempting to free the machine. Use a crane, forklift truck, or other
appropriate equipment to stabilise the machine and remove the personnel.
Crushing and Collision Hazards
• Approved head protection must be worn by all operating and ground personnel.
• Keep hand and limbs out of the scissor arm assembly during operation and when raised unless safety
strut installed.
• Watch for obstructions around machine and overhead when driving. Check clearance above, to sides, at
bottom of machine when lifting or lowering the platform.
• Always post a lookout when driving in areas where vision is obstructed.
• Keep non-operating personnel at least 1.8m away from machine during all operations.
• Under all travel conditions, the operator must limit travel speed according to conditions of ground surface,
congestion, visibility, slope, location of personnel, and other factors.
• Be aware of stopping distances in all drive speeds.
• Exercise extreme caution at all times to prevent obstacles from striking or interfering with operating
controls and persons in the platform.
• Ensure that operators of other overhead and floor level machines are aware of the aerial work platform's
presence. Disconnect power to overhead cranes. Barricade floor area if necessary.
