Fundamentals
This machine is a self-propelled hydraulic lift
equipped with a work platform on the scissor
mechanism. Vibrations emitted by these
machines are not hazardous to an operator in
the work platform. The machine can be used
to position personnel with their tools and
supplies at position above ground level and
can be used to reach work areas located
above and over machinery or equipment.
A full and detailed implementation of EN ISO
13849-1/2 is correctly applied on our MEWP
design. SISTEMA, a software tool for PL
Calculation Tool, is also used to perform some
relatively straightforward calculations on
subsystem to determine the overall PL of the
system. Reliability data, diagnostic coverage
[DC], the system architecture [Category],
common cause failure and, where relevant,
requirements for software are used to assess
the PL to comply with PLr of SRP/CS in
Clause 5.11 of EN 280.
The Operating Instructions section provides
instructions for each aspect of machine
operation.
It is the operator's responsibility to follow all
the safety rules and instructions in the
operator's manual.
Using the machine for anything other than
lifting personnel, along with their tools and
materials, to an aerial work site is unsafe and
dangerous.
Only trained and authorized personnel should
be permitted to operate a machine. If more
than one operator is expected to use a
machine at different times in the same work
shift, they must all be qualified operators and
are all expected to follow all safety rules and
instructions in the operator's manual. That
means every new operator should perform a
pre-operation inspection, function tests, and a
workplace inspection before using the
machine.
