7.8.1 Dealer or Installer as User.
Whenever a dealer or installer directs personnel to operate an aerial
device (inspecting, sales demonstrations, or any form of use), the dealer or installer shall assume the
responsibilities of users as specified in Section 9 of this standard. All personnel authorized to operate the
aerial device shall have been trained in a program that meets the requirements of this standard.
7.9 Maintenance Training.
Dealer maintenance personnel shall be trained in inspection, testing and
maintenance of the aerial device in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.
8. Responsibilities of Owners.
8.1 General Responsibilities.
Each owner shall comply with the requirements of this section. The following
responsibilities pertain to the owner’s inspection, testing, maintenance, modification, training and transfer of
ownership. These activities shall be performed by qualified person(s).
8.2 Inspection and Testing Classifications.
8.2.1 Initial Inspection and Test.
Prior to initial use, all new or modified mobile units shall be inspected and
tested to ensure compliance with the provisions of this standard. Certification by the manufacturer, dealer,
final installer or an equivalent entity(s), meets this requirement.
8.2.2 Regular Inspection and Tests.
The inspection procedure for mobile units is divided into two
classifications based upon the intervals at which inspections and tests shall be performed. Intervals shall be
set by the owner in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations. Such intervals are dependent
upon component function and exposure to wear, deterioration and other agents which adversely affect
component life. Two classifications are designated:
(1) Frequent Inspection and Test: Daily to monthly intervals.
(2) Periodic Inspection and Test: One to twelve month intervals.
8.2.3 Frequent Inspection and Test.
Items determined by the owner in accordance with the manufacturer’s
recommendations for each specific aerial device shall be inspected. The following inspections and tests
shall be performed by the operator prior to first use at the beginning of each shift:
(1) Conduct walk around visual inspection looking for damaged components, cracks or corrosion, excessive
wear and any loose, deformed or missing bolts, pins, fasteners, locking devices and covers.
(2) Check all controls and associated mechanisms for proper operation to include, but not limited to, the
following:
(a) Proper operation of interlocks.
(b) Controls return to neutral when released and not sticking.
(c) Control function and operation clearly marked.
(3) Check visual and audible safety devices for proper operation.
(4) Visually inspect fiberglass and insulating components for visible damage or contamination.
(5) Check for missing or illegible operational and instructional markings.
(6) Check hydraulic and pneumatic systems for observable deterioration and excessive leakage.
(7) Check electrical systems related to the aerial device for malfunctions, signs of excessive deterioration,
dirt and moisture accumulation.
(8) Perform functional test to include, but not limited to, the following:
(a) Set-up the aerial device for operation, including outriggers.
(b) Cycle the aerial device functions through the complete range of motion from the lower controls,
except where operation through the complete range of motion would create a hazard.
(c) Check functionality of emergency controls.
Any suspected items shall be carefully examined or tested and a determination made by a qualified person
as to whether they constitute a safety hazard. All unsafe items shall be replaced or repaired before use.
