Using the elevating platform
CAUTION
Before moving the platform, make sure that the weight in the platform is evenly
distributed and that it does not exceed the maximum permissible load.
Perform the manoeuvres one at a time in order to minimise stress on the
equipment.

check the condition of the personal protective devices before using them. Wear a safety harness
and any other PPE that may be necessary before getting on the platform;

by the rear stabilisers;
•
lifting the boom from the support plate inhibits the stabilising movements.
