SAFETY
1-9.2 Aerial Stabilizer Deployment
Figure 1-7: FAMA30 and FAMA32 Warning Labels
FAMA30, FAMA32
Your aerial device requires the use of stabilizers to avoid tipping. Once you have selected a set-up location, clear
the area of personnel and use spotters to maneuver your apparatus into position. Engage parking brake, auxiliary
front wheel lock (if equipped) and deploy wheel chocks.
Determine where the stabilizer jacks will be placed and set out stabilizer pads so they will be centered under the
jacks.
Walk around the vehicle, looking around and beneath the vehicle to ensure that there are no people in the area. If
there are people anywhere in the area, warn them that you will be operating devices on the vehicle that are a crush
hazard and command them to move to a safe location. When you are sure the area is clear, shout out your intention
to deploy the stabilizers. Deploy stabilizers and level the apparatus, keeping the stabilizers in your sight at all times.
Secure jacks with pins if equipped.
Deploy ground pads every time you set up your aerial, even when setting up on concrete or other firm surfaces.
1-9.3 Stabilizer Short-Jack Deployment
Your apparatus may allow for partial extension of the stabilizer beams (short-jacking). This capability allows your
apparatus to be set up in an area where obstructions or surface conditions do not allow them to be fully extended.
Set up the apparatus so that the stabilizers can be completely extended in the direction that you will be working and
extend them as far as possible on the opposite side. You will NOT be able to safely rotate the device over the side
where the stabilizers are not fully extended. Study the rest of this manual, and your load chart, for instructions on
safe operating limits. An Incident Safety Officer should observe aerial operations when you are using short-jack
procedures.
