27. Check the following issues daily before starting the work:
27.1 Checking the outriggers:

28. Check the functioning of the backup safety limit for load control once a month. (Refer
to checking instructions in chapter ”Checking the backup safety limit for load control”.)
29. Carry out or cause to carry out a thorough inspection of the Access Platform once in
every twelve (12) months. Carry out a new inspection within a shorter period of time if the
Access Platform is used in demanding conditions, if the load-bearing structures have been
welded or if there is some other special reason for a new inspection. The annual
inspection shall be performed by a person with a valid qualification certificate granted by
an inspection organisation concerning the inspection of Access Platforms.
A dated record of this inspection shall be drawn up, and the record must be kept with the
Access Platform at all times, stored e.g. in the equipment case, and the owner must keep
a second copy. A model of an official record form is enclosed to this manual.
Alterations and repairs, their location on the Access Platform, date, and identity of the
person(s) carrying out repairs and alterations shall be marked in the inspection record.
Keep yourself up to date about developments in the field, check any retroactive
amendment of laws and decrees since the last inspection, and take potential amendments
into consideration when re-inspecting. Prior to repairs or alterations of load-bearing
constructions, the manufacturer or his authorized representative shall always be
contacted.
Test loading of the Access Platform with overload must be performed after any repairs or
replacement of parts on the platform, jib, boom, turntable, chassis, outriggers or cylinders.
30. When leaving the Access Platform, always drive it out of way. Put the boom and
outriggers in the transport position. As protection against unauthorized use, switch off the
engine, remove the ignition keys from both the platform and the control panel of ground
operating point, and switch off the main current. Remove all keys and keep them always
together in one key ring, also during use.
31. Never operate or drive the Access Platform under the influence of alcohol or narcotics.
32. Always turn the ignition keys to position 0 when using electric welding equipment on
the platform or close to the Access Platform. Do not use the chassis of the Access
Platform or the steel constructions in the platform as an earth lead. Prevent welding
current from contacting the Access Platform.
