RESPONSIBILITIES / SAFETY
ADDITIONAL SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
1. Report any unusual occurrence during the
operation of the aerial lift that may require
repair or adjustment.
2. Keep the work space in the truck bed clean
and neat.
3. Avoid parking on soft surfaces. Soft surfaces
may suddenly collapse, shift, or sink beneath
the truck’s weight.
4. There is no insulating value in the fi berglass
platform without a platform liner.
5. No attempt should be made to clean, oil,
or adjust a machine while the machine is in
motion.
6. If an aerial lift has set idle for an extended
period (i.e. overnight) or has been recently
serviced, cycle the aerial-lift through it’s full
range of motion several times. This procedure
will force any trapped air out of the hydraulic
system. Do not operate the lift from the platform
until this process is completed. Air trapped in
the hydraulic oil can cause lift movements to
be erratic and unpredictable.
7. Don’t operate any part of the unit (platform,
booms, outriggers, etc.) outside the work-
site barricades into the traffi c lanes. Set up
adequate cones or barricades to mark the
boundaries of the work-site to alert motorists
and pedestrians.
8. Only qualifi ed mechanics are authorized to
service the aerial lift.
9. Avoid contacting a spray mist produced by
a high pressure hydraulic leak. This spray
or mist can puncture or become embedded
beneath the skin or contaminate the eyes.
These conditions require immediate medical
attention.
10. Hydraulic oil is fl ammable. Avoid any contact
between hydraulic oil and sources of high heat
or open fl ames.
11. Bodily contact with hot hydraulic oil can cause
serious burns which require immediate medical
attention.
