gency situation while operating the machine.
6.2 EMERGENCY OPERATION
Operator Unable to Control Machine
IF THE PLATFORM OPERATOR IS PINNED, TRAPPED OR
UNABLE TO OPERATE OR CONTROL THE MACHINE, USE THE
FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS AS A GUIDELINE.
1.
Other personnel should operate the machine from
ground controls only as required.

Only qualified personnel in the platform may use the
platform controls. DO NOT CONTINUE OPERATION IF
CONTROLS DO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY.

remove the platform occupant and stabilize motion of
the machine.
Platform Caught Overhead
If the platform becomes jammed or snagged in overhead struc-
tures or equipment, rescue the platform occupant prior to freeing
the machine.
Righting of Tipped Machine
Before righting a tipped machine, check machine for any damage
which may prevent it from setting properly on its base wheels
once in a vertical position, (i.e. base wheels damaged, base frame
distorted, etc.). Use a crane, forklift or other suitable lifting equip-
ment and carefully lift the machine to an upright position.
