SAFETY
1.
Survey the conditions of the work area. Identify situations such as; soft ground, ditches, drop-offs, holes,
debris, overhead obstructions, electrical conductors, and underground utilities.
2.
Plan the job (tailgate session) and clear the area of bystanders.
3.
Set the vehicle parking brake and chock the wheels.
4.
Make certain tire pressures are proper for operation.
5.
Visually inspect condition of tires, truck suspension, and torsion bars (if equipped) for any damage.
6.
The vehicle must be securely parked and stabilized before any operation is performed. If equipped with
outriggers, set all outriggers.
7.
If not equipped with outriggers, or only one set of outriggers, the truck tires must equally support the
weight of the truck. One tire cannot be in a hole or depression.
8.
Do not lower outriggers unless you can see that all ground personnel and bystanders are clear of the
outrigger path of movement and its ground contact point. Lower all outriggers onto solid footing.
9.
Do not place outriggers on ice as slippage may occur regardless of solid footing. Operation on snow or
slippery surfaces requires extra care during set up to ensure Aerial Device and vehicle have sufficient
traction to prevent sliding.
10. The Aerial Device has been tested per the stability requirements of ANSI A92.2 and may be operated on
firm, flat, non-level surfaces up to a 5 degree slope.
11. Ground and/or barricade the vehicle per OSHA and your company rules.
12. Raise and lower booms through a complete cycle using the lower controls daily, before entering
platform, looking for any malfunction or problems. If found, shut down immediately.
13. Perform controls inspection before beginning operation. Do not operate with malfunctioning controls.
14. Barricade or cover any overhead electrical lines that may be a potential contact during operation.
15. Inspect and maintain personal protective equipment.
16. Perform inspections and maintenance as specified in the Maintenance Guidelines.
