TRANSPORTATION
y
The empty vehicle weight is stamped on the serial number placard and is listed in specifications.
The user assumes all responsibility for:
y
Making sure the equipment used is capable of supporting the weight of the aerial platform.
y
Making sure all manufacturer’s instructions and warnings, regulations and safety rules of their em-
ployer and/or any state or federal law are followed.
Use the following procedure to hoist the aerial platform onto the transport vehicle:
1. Properly stow the aerial platform.
2. Inspect the front and the rear lifting lugs (refer to Figure 2-22) to make sure they are free of cracks
and are in good condition. There are two lugs on the front and rear of the chassis. Have any damage
repaired by a qualified service technician before attempting to hoist the machine.
3. Remove all personnel, tools, materials, or other loose objects from the platform.
4.
Connect the chains or straps to the lifting lugs using bolted shackles. Hooks that fit properly in the
lugs and that have latching mechanisms to prevent them from falling out under a slack line condition
may also be used.
Do not run the sling cable through the lifting lugs.
y
Cable damage and/or failure can result from the cable contacting the sharp corners of the lug.
y
There is no effective way of putting a corner protector in the hole of the lug.
5.
Use spreader bars of sufficient length to keep the chains, straps, or cables from contacting the
structure or platform.
y
When using cables, use rigid corner protectors at any point where the cable contacts on sharp
corners to prevent damaging the cable.
y
Careful rigging of the spreaders is required to prevent machine damage.
6. Adjust the length of each chain or strap so the aerial platform remains level when raised off the
ground.
7. Use the hoist or crane to carefully raise and position the aerial platform onto the transport vehicle.
TOWING
Trailer mounted machines may be safely towed behind a vehicle at a speed set by state traffic
regulation or up to 50 mph (80 km/h), whichever is the lowest.
1. Before towing, check the capacity of the vehicle being used. Machine weight will increase if
optional extras are fitted.
2. Ensure that the road tyres and brakes are in good serviceable condition.
3.
Ensure that all booms are fully lowered and both the transit pins are fitted through the loops
and secured with the “R” clip on the end of the chain.
4. Ensure that all outriggers are fully raised.
5. Use the jockey wheel to raise or lower the tow bar coupling to position the machine above the
50 mm ball hitch on the towing vehicle (refer to Figure 2-23).
