Foam Filled Tires
Optional foam filled tires eliminate the possibility
of air leaks or blowouts which might cause a
tipover. Foam filled tires are therefore a safety
device.
Inspect them at the start of each work shift
according to the procedures in the “Daily
Inspection and Maintenance” chapter 7.
The foam filled tire shown here, shows signs of
damage and therefore is not acceptable for
service.
❑
Platform Foot Switch
The platform foot switch prevents the platform
from moving if something accidentally pushes
one of the platform moving controls on the
platform control box. To make the platform move
you must step on the foot switch at the same time
you use a platform moving control.
❑
Lanyard Anchor Points
All personnel on the platform shall attach their fall
restraint lanyards to one of the lanyard anchor
points.
❑
Platform Guardrails
The guardrails help protect you from falling off the
platform. Be sure the guardrails are properly
installed and that the gravity gate or swinging
gate is in place.
