41
1. Operate the machine from ground controls ONLY with the assistance of other
personnel and equipment (cranes, overhead hoists, etc.) as may be required to
safely remove the danger or emergency condition.
2.
Other qualified personnel on the platform may use the platform controls. DO
NOT CONTINUE OPERATION IF CONTROLS DO NOT FUNCTION
NORMALLY.
3.
Cranes, forklift trucks or other equipment which may be available are to be used
to remove platform occupants and stabilize motion of the machine in case
machine controls are inadequate or malfunction when used.
Platform Caught Overhead
If the platform becomes jammed or snagged in overhead structures or equipment,
do not continue operation of the machine from either the platform or the ground
until the operator and all personnel are safely moved to a secure location. Only
then should an attempt be made to free the platform using any necessary
equipment and personnel. Do not operate controls to cause one or more wheels to
leave the ground.
Righting of Tipped Machine
A forktruck of suitable capacity or equivalent equipment should be placed under
the elevated side of the chassis, with a crane or other suitable lifting equipment
used to lift the platform while the chassis is lowered by the forklift or other
equipment.
Post-Incident Inspection
Following any incident, thoroughly inspect the machine and test all functions first
from the ground controls, then from the platform controls. Do not lift above 10 feet
(3 meters) until you are secure that all damage has been repaired, if required, and
that all controls are operating correctly.
