Caution!
1.2 - GENERAL SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
1.2.1 - Operators
Operators must be aged 18 or over and hold an operating permit issued by the
employer after verification of medical aptitude and the practical platform operation
test.
Only trained operators may
use Haulotte self-propelled
platforms.
There must be at least two operators present, so that one of them can:
• intervene rapidly if necessary,
• take over the controls in the case of accident or breakdown,
• monitor and prevent machines or people from circulating around the plat-
form,
• guide the platform operator if necessary.
1.2.2 - Environment
Never use the machine:
• On soft, unstable or cluttered floors.
• On a floor with a tilt greater than the allowed limit.
• With a windspeed above the permitted level. In case of outdoor use, check
that windspeed is lower or equal to the permitted level using an anemome-
ter.
• Near electric lines (find out about minimum distances according to current).
In temperatures of less than -15°C (in particular, in cold rooms); consult our
service department if work is required in conditions below -15°C.
• In an explosive atmosphere.
• In an incorrectly ventilated area, as exhaust fumes are toxic.
• During storms (risk of being struck by lightning).
• At night if the machine is not equipped with an optional light.
• In the presence of intense electromagnetic fields (radar, mobile and high
current).
DO NOT DRIVE ON THE PUBLIC HIGHWAY.
1.2.3 - Using the machine
It is important to ensure that in normal use, i.e. platform operation, the platform
station selection key remains in the the platform position to enable control of the
machine from the platform. If a problem occurs on the platform, a person present
and trained in emergency/standby manoeuvres can help by putting the key in the
ground control position.
Never use the machine with:
• a load greater than the nominal load,
• more people than the authorised number,
• lateral force in the platform greater than the level permitted,
• wind speed higher than the permitted level.
