SAFETY GUIDELINES
7. Be sure the ground will support the bearing forces of the system in
accordance with this operators manual.
8. Always carry out maintenance and inspection as detailed in this manual
to help ensure system safety and efficiency. Be sure to manage all jobsite
inventory and ensure proper inspection and maintenance has been
conducted on all system components prior to use.
9. Never make modifications to the system. Always use factory manufactured
parts on the system. Modifications to the system, or configuring in a manner
other than detailed in this manual and other ReechCraft publications will
void the warranty and could lead to equipment damage or personal injury. If
you have any questions on components or accessories and how they should
be used, contact your local dealer or call ReechCraft customer service.
10. Be sure you have the proper guardrails, endrails, midrails, and toeboards
properly installed.
11. Once system is installed and prior to operation, provide a barrier as
necessary surrounding the work area below the work platform in accordance
with federal, state, and local regulations. Prepare an emergency escape plan
and keep a telephone list of emergency numbers.
12. Never overload the system beyond the duty rating of 650 lbs (295 kg). Refer
to the loading section of the user manual for more information. Although
the system is designed with large safety factors, excessively overloading
the system could create system instability or structural damage which may
result in personal injury or death.

proper footing and balance at all times.

platform.

contact the worksite supervisor immediately.
19. The system should never be operated during an electrical storm.
