ION GUIDELINES
JIB & WINCH OPERATION (OPTIONAL)
When operating the winch under load, always use a smooth movement for lowering or raising loads to avoid
shock loads and sudden changes in truck balance. These dynamic shocks can have an effect on the
structural members of the Aerial Device. Slow movement should be used on all heavy loads at low engine
speed.
Position the Aerial Device so that the boom is properly placed to bring the material to be hoisted to the
desired location. This includes adjusting the jib length and angle position.
The jib boom sheave head must not be turned horizontal in respect to the vertical lifting direction it is
intended to be used in. Operating in this manner will cause a side load rather than the intended vertical load.
The jib and sheave head should not be used in this way. The potential for overload is high, especially to the
boom rotation system. The jib and load line should be used for vertical lifting only.
Never allow personnel to be under loads being lifted.
Increasing the horizontal distance from the vehicle to the load will affect the stability of
the vehicle. Structural damage or instability can result in serious injury or death.
Do not pull, drag, or jerk loads using the winch or rotation controls. This can over load
and cause damage to rotation mechanism and other structural components, which can
result in serious injury or death.
When lifting loads, the boom will deflect a certain amount and when the load is relieved,
the boom will return to the normal position. Always allow extra clearance above and
below the boom from any obstacle when lifting a load to allow for this deflection. Serious
injury or death can result from such deflections are not considered.
Never exceed the rated load capacity of the Aerial Device. Structural damage or
instability can result causing death or serious injury.
Do not pull poles or objects embedded in the ground. It is impossible to know the force
applied. Aerial can fail from overload or eject occupants.
