BEFORE OPERATION
Follow these safety rules before operating
the material lift:
ALWAYS
position the material lift on a firm,
level surface.
ALWAYS
inspect
the work area for
potential hazards
such as overhead
obstructions,
unstable or slippery
surfaces, drop-offs,
holes, debris or
moving vehicles.
ALWAYS
inspect the equipment before
operating the material lift. Check for
damaged or worn parts.
NEVER
operate a
material lift if any damage to the equipment
is observed or suspected.
ALWAYS
tag a
damaged material lift and remove it from
service until repairs are completed
according to manufacturer’s specifications.
ALWAYS
inspect the winch and cable
before operating the material lift. Check for
wear, frays, kinks and damage to the cable.
Verify that the cable is wrapped around the
winch drum at least four times when the
carriage is lowered.
NEVER
operate a
material lift if any damage to the winch or
cable is observed or suspected.
NEVER
repair the material lift in any way
other than according to manufacturer’s
specifications.
NEVER
deface, modify or obscure any
decals or markings on the material lift.
NEVER
modify the material lift in any way
that would affect its original design or
operation.
NEVER
operate the material lift in any way
for which it is not intended.
DURING OPERATION
Follow these safety rules while operating
the material lift:
NEVER
operate the material lift near power
lines.
ALWAYS
ensure that no part of the
material lift can accidentally reach into an
unsafe area.
DANGER
The material lift is NOT insulated for use
near electrical power lines and DOES
NOT provide protection from contact
with or proximity to any electrical
current. Maintain safe distances at all
times (minimum 3.05 meters; see chart
below). Allow for mast movement or
electrical line sway due to environmental
conditions. ALWAYS assume every
power line is live.
