Preparation and Inspection
3.1
UNPACKING
Since the manufacturer has no direct control over the shipping or carriage of any Niftylift it is the
responsibility of the dealer and/or owner and/or leaser to ensure the Niftylift has not been damaged in
transit and a Pre-operational Report has been carried out by a qualified engineer before the aerial
basket is put into service.
A)
Remove all ropes, straps and or chains used to secure the aerial basket during transit.
B)
Ensure any ramp, loading dock or fork lift used is capable of supporting or lifting the aerial
basket.
C)
If the Niftylift is to be driven off, please ensure that the operator has read and fully understood
this entire manual. Refer to the appropriate section for precise operating instructions.
***Carry out the Inspection/service/pre-hire check list (see pages 37 & 38) before placing
machine in service.
3.2
PREPARATION FOR USE
Whilst every effort has been made at the Niftylift factory to ensure your machine arrives in a safe and
operable condition it is necessary to carry out a systematic inspection prior to putting the machine into
service.
THIS IS NOT A REQUEST IT IS MANDATORY
To assist the user in this task you will find enclosed a Inspection/service/pre-hire check list, which
must be filled out upon delivery/receipt of the machine.
Before the user carries out the Pre-operational Report he must have read and fully understood all the
contents of the Operating, Safety and Maintenance Manual.
WARNING - FAILURE TO COMPLETE THE INITIAL PRE-OPERATIONAL
REPORT AND RETURN THE TOP COPY TO NIFTYLIFT RENDERS THE
WARRANTY INVALID.
WARNING - DO NOT OPERATE A POTENTIALLY DEFECTIVE OR
MALFUNCTIONING MACHINE. CORRECT AND REPAIR ANY DEFECTS
BEFORE OPERATING YOUR NIFTYLIFT.
