Fundamentals
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, safety and responsibilities
manuals.
Using the machine for anything other than lifting
personnel and tools 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, safety and
responsibilities manuals. That means every new
operator should perform a pre-operation inspection,
function tests, and a workplace inspection before using
the machine.
