ANDLING INSTRUCTIONS
- The platform may only be manoeuvred from the ground: ensure access is forbidden.
- The platforms cannot be used as cranes or lifts for the constant transport of materials or people, nor as jacks or
supports.
- When raising the platform, ensure that nothing or no one is impeding its travel and do not perform any false
manoeuvres.
- When working near to overhead electrical cables, ensure that there is adequate safety distance between the cables
and the platform’s working area. Check the prevailing legislation.
You should seek advice from your local electricity provider.
You could be electrocuted or seriously hurt if you work or park the platform too close to electrical cables.
You are strongly advised to ensure that the safety rules on the site conform to the prevailing
local regulations regarding all types of work near to electrical cables.
- Do not attempt to accomplish operations beyond the platform’s capabilities.
- Working over the heads of other people is forbidden.
- Ensure that the material loaded onto the platform (pipes, cables, containers, etc.) cannot escape and fall. Do not heap
such material up to the point that they must be stepped over.
- Do not use ladders or improvised constructions inside the platform to reach higher.
- Do not use the base control panel to raise the nacelle with persons in the platform nacelle. The base control panel is
for use solely in the event of a rescue operation (if someone in the basket is feeling unwell, etc.) or for maintenance.
