Keep bystanders away while operating.
Do not place boom or platform against any
structure to steady the platform or to support the
structure.
Do not use the controls to free a platform that is
caught, snagged or otherwise prevented from
normal motion by an adjacent structure. All
personnel must be removed from the platform
before attempting to free the platform using the
controls.
Check the work area for
overhead obstructions or
other possible hazards.
Be certain that the path of platform travel is clear
of hazards, such as storage racks, scaffolds,
overhead obstructions, and electrical wires.
Do not allow personnel or bystanders to tamper
with or operate the machine from the cab when
occupants are in the platform except in an
emergency or when directed by the occupants.
Always lift and lower personnel smoothly and with
caution, and only at their request.
Operating Instructions
Preparation and Setup
Read, understand and obey all jobsite, local,
state, federal and provincial rules, standards
and regulations as they pertain to the use of a
telehandler mounted personnel work platform
(In the USA and Canada, reference ANSI/ITSDF
B56.6 and CSA B335).
If the personnel work platform is equipped with
safety instructions, make sure a copy is placed
in the cab as well as in the work platform, if it is
equipped with a manual holder.
Cordon off the area to warn of work by elevated
personnel. Keep the area under the platform free
of personnel.
Be sure the telehandler is on a firm level surface
capable of supporting all forces imposed by the
machine.
Without personnel in the platform, perform a
simulated lift with the designated signal person
on the ground as a spotter, to assure adequate
telehandler range and attachment clearances and
that the telehandler lifting mechanism is operating
smoothly.
