Risk of collision
-
Adjust the drive speed so that it is safe with regard to the ground conditions.
-
When operating the lift, take into account that visibility may be limited
-
The operator must follow all regulations concerning the use of safety equipment on the
work site
-
Make sure that there are no overhead obstacles on the work site that could prohibit
lifting of the platform, or objects that might cause a collision
-
Do not operate this access platform in the working area of another overhead lifting
device or similar equipment that is moving, unless this lifting device is secured so that
there is no risk of collision
-
