VERSALIFT   VST-7500-I

Only properly trained operators are qualified to operate
the 

Versalift

 aerial lift.  Operator training shall include

complete instruction and understanding of the
manufacturer’s manuals, employer’s work rules, and
all related governmental regulations.  Prior to operation
from the platform the machine must be operating
properly, must have been installed properly, inspected,
and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions.  All safety signs, guards, and covers must
be in place and in proper condition.

DANGER:

     

AN UNTRAINED OR

CARELESS OPERATOR SUBJECTS HIM/
HERSELF AND OTHERS TO DEATH OR SERIOUS
INJURY.

Throughout this manual there are 

danger,

 

warning,

and 

caution

 notes that emphasize the possible

hazards when operating the 

Versalift

.  It is the

responsibility of the operator to become familiar with
the contents of this manual.

Two of the main risks associated with operating an
aerial lift:
(1)

Electrocution caused by operating too close
to power lines.

(2)

Injuries caused by falling as a result of
equipment failure or the operator performing
an unsafe or unstable maneuver.

No manual can address every conceivable operating
hazard.  Therefore, the prevention of accidents is
greatly dependent upon good judgement and common
sense of the operator.

It is the responsibility of the operator to use the

Versalift

 only when it has been installed and

maintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s
manuals.  The preventive maintenance program
outlined in this manual and the Service manual must
be followed.

It is extremely important for the operator to be
thoroughly familiar with the 

Versalift

 aerial device.

Study the information in this manual and the 

Versalift

controls until both are completely mastered.  Then go
to a large, open area to practice using the aerial lift.

Decals are installed at numerous locations on the
aerial lift to warn personnel of the potential hazards
during the use and operation of the aerial lift.  It is
important that the operator and ground personnel read
and understand the information on the decals.  If any
decals are defaced, illegible or lost, they must be
replaced.  Refer to the “Decal Placement” illustration

in this manual for a complete listing and the locations
of the decals.  For your convenience these decals
are pictured on the following pages as a quick
reference for reviewing safety concerns and for
providing part numbers when ordering replacements.

DECALS

All the warning and instruction decals, and their
respective part numbers, on the 

Versalift

 aerial device

are included below and on the following pages.  The
decals are not shown at actual size.
