DANGER!
•
Do not use the machine as a ground for welding.
•
Never use the machine during storms or in the presence of lightning.
DANGER!
•
It is mandatory to observe the minimum safe distance from live aerial equipment
and lines.
•
Clearance should be maintained, bearing in mind maximum extension of the
machine’s boom, as well as swaying of the conductors due to wind.
•
Failure to comply with the minimum safety distances can cause death or serious
injury.
2.3.2
Tipping hazard
Before using the machine, make sure that the ground is able to support the weight
of the machine and withstand the pressure exerted by the stabilisers. Maximum
load is speciied on the labels attached to the stabilisers and in the manual’s
technical speciications.
Position the machine only on a level and stable surface.
IT IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED TO:
•
Stabilise the machine on soft, muddy, frozen or slippery ground or in the immediate vicinity of
holes, ditches or manholes.
•
Lean the platform on other machines or structures.
•
Exceed the maximum permissible inclination of the chassis. The maximum chassis inclination is
speciied in the technical speciications and on the machine plate.
Do not operate on ground
with a greater than 3° slope.
•
Exceed the maximum load on the work platform and the maximum number of persons allowed
(table of load quantities in the technical speciications and on the machine).
