3.2 DESCRIPTION
This machine is a Mobile Elevating Work Platform (MEWP)
on top of an
elevating scissor arm mechanism. The lift’s intended purpose is to posi
-
tion personnel with their tools and supplies at positions above ground
level. The machine can be used to reach work areas located above
machinery or equipment positioned at ground level.
This MEWP has a primary operator control station in the platform. From
this control station, the operator can drive and steer the machine in
both forward and reverse directions, raise and lower the platform, and
set the machine leveling jacks (if equipped).
The machine can be driven on
a smooth, firm surface within the limits
of the maximum operating slope
from an elevated platform position.
The machine also has a ground control station which can override the
platform control station. Ground controls operate lift up and down.
Except for performing inspections and function checks, ground con
-
trols are to be used only in an emergency to lower the platform to the
ground should the operator in the platform be unable to do so.
