•
A fixed internal control should only be used inside the vehicle body from a
safe operator position that is a minimum 400x400mm square, clearly and
permanently marked at a minimum of 250mm from the hazard zone
between the platform and the rear of the vehicle floor (1 on previous page).
A fixed internal control should NEVER be used from a position on the
platform. Remark (1) see page 19
•
The marked operator positions on the platform must be kept clear at all
times. It is prohibited to place a load on these dedicated areas.
•
If the tail lift is equipped with a 3+1 button external control box integrated in the body panel, the power to any of the auxiliary
controls (hand held controls or platform mounted foot controls) must be connected to and dependent upon the safety switch in the
main external control box.
•
It is prohibited to bypass or modify any of the safety features of the tail lift. If connection of the power to the external control box
does not deactivate external controls, stop using the tail lift, and contact an authorized DHOLLANDIA agent.
•
Note: these 3 points of contact usually include the 2 feet
positioned solidly on the platform, and a handgrip mounted
to the rear frame of the vehicle body.
WARNING
•
When standing in front or behind the load, the operator risks being pushed off the platform, or being crushed between the
moving load and the rear frame of the vehicle body, resulting in serious bodily injury or death.
•
To prevent this hazard, ALWAYS stand on the side of the load, NEVER in front or behind.
WARNING
•
If not standing solidly, an operator on
the platform risks serious injury or
death by falling off.
•
While riding on the platform, ALWAYS
make sure your footing is solid, and
ALWAYS maintain 3 points of contact,
as shown in the picture to the right.
