C. Test the remote platform leveling. Activate the foot switch (enable collar, finger
switch or trigger valve) and briefly operate platform leveling IN and then platform
leveling OUT (or UP/DOWN ). Return the platform to the level position.
D. For units equipped with a rotating platform, test the platform rotation mechanism.
Lift the travel locking pin on units so equipped to disengage it and latch it in the
unlocked position. For manual rotation, lift the rotation handle to disengage the
handle lock and rotate the platform to each extreme. For units with an electric
platform rotation switch, step on the foot switch and operate the rotate platform
switch to rotate to each extreme. For full hydraulic platform rotation, squeeze the
trigger valve and operate the platform rotation lever to rotate the platform to each
extreme. Re-center platform, lower rotation handle to lock it on units with manual
rotation and then re-engage the travel locking pin.
E. Stop the engine, turn on the emergency pump, and raise/lower boom to test
emergency pump. When finished, turn off the emergency pump.
Operation of Aerial Lift
A. Personal Protection Equipment: Operation of the aerial device without an
approved safety harness is unauthorized and is not approved. According to
OSHA regulations, all personnel in the platform shall wear a safety harness with
an energy-absorbing lanyard attached to the lanyard attachment point. Elliott also
recommends that approved hard hats be worn by all operating and ground-level
personnel, as the user’s head is the highest point when operating an aerial
platform. The user is responsible for complying with all applicable laws and
regulations.
B. General Safety Considerations: The operator and their supervisor must take
precaution to avoid all hazards in the work area prior to the start to work. Check
the clearances above, to the sides and the bottom of the platform when raising,
lowering, and swinging the boom. The operator is responsible to avoid operating
over ground personnel and to warn them not to work, walk or stand under a
raised platform. Never use the boom for any purpose other than positioning
