RESPONSIBILITIES / SAFETY
A safe attitude is very important to you, the operator.
Practice anticipating accidents and operating haz-
ards. Then determine a corrective course of action
to respond to the situa tion. This habit will sharpen
your safety awareness, quicken your reaction time,
and prevent many accidents.
THINK SAFETY
The following sketches illustrate some of the unsafe
situations that might occur during the use or operation
of the Versalift. Some of these safety problems are
very basic and as a result are often taken for granted.
Always engage the outriggers, and maintain the
correct tire pressure to increase vehicle stability.
Always wear a personnel restraint system attached
to the lanyard anchor.
Don’t park the truck on a hill unless absolutely
necessary. When the truck is parked on a slope,
take the special precautions defi ned in Chapter 4,
“Operation”.
Remember to set the parking brake and chock the
truck’s wheels.
Watch the booms to make sure they clear the truck
and other obstructions.
