OPERA
TION
This chapter provides operators and ground crew
with recommended aerial lift operating procedures,
descriptions and detailed operating information
about the controls at each control station. Operators
and ground crews are responsible for knowing and
applying this information to job site situations.
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 SUB JECTS HIM/HERSELF AND
OTHERS TO DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
It is the responsibility of the operator and ground
crew to make certain that the identification, operation,
and instructional decals are not lost, damaged, or
illegible. If these conditions exist the decals must
be replaced before lift operation. Refer to the Decal
Placement illustration in Section 6 of this manual for
decal location and parts listing.
POSITIONING THE VERSALIFT FOR
OPERATION
This section describes proper positioning of the
Versalift aerial lift so that it will be as stable and
useful as possible. The information in this section
includes orientation of the truck at the work site, a
checklist of responsibilities before leaving the truck
cab, requirements after leaving the truck cab and
engaging the outriggers.
ORIENTING THE TRUCK AT THE WORK SITE
-
Be sure to park the truck on firm level ground. Do
not operate the Versalift unit on a slope greater
than 5 degrees (1 foot rise in 12 feet) on units not
equipped with outriggers. On units with outriggers,
OPERATION
aerial device must be leveled within 2° of horizontal
prior to operation. Refer to the slope indicators
provided on the chassis to show whether the aerial
device is positioned within limits permitted. Slope
reduces the vehicle’s stability and places additional
stress on the lift and components. Maintaining the
correct tire pressure and engaging the outriggers (if
so equipped) contribute to vehicle stability. If there is
any doubt about vehicle stability under any condition,
do not operate the lift.
DANGER:
NEVER OPERATE THE LIFT ON
A SLOPE GREATER THAN 5°. WITHOUT PROPER
STABILITY THE UNIT MAY TIP RESULTING IN
DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
RESPONSIBILITIES BEFORE LEAVING THE
TRUCK CAB -
Perform the following steps in
preparing to operate the aerial-lift. It is assumed
that the truck engine is still running. However, if the
lift hydraulics are powered by an auxiliary engine
(optional power unit) then it is not necessary for the
truck engine to remain running.
1. Set the parking brake and the brake lock (if so
equipped).
2. Shift the truck transmission into neutral (manual
transmission) or park (automatic transmission).
3. Turn on the warning light flashers.
4. Depress the clutch and engage the PTO, if so
equipped.
5. Activate the master control with the toggle switch
on the truck dashboard. A red light next to the
toggle switch on the dashboard indicates when
the master control system is energized. The
truck ignition must be on unless equipped with
an auxiliary engine.
REQUIREMENTS AFTER LEAVING THE TRUCK
CAB:
1. Check wind and weather conditions. Do not
operate the platform if wind gust exceed 30 mph
(48 km/hr) or if there is a threat of an electrical
storm.
2. After leaving the cab chock the wheels. This is
extremely important because the brake systems
on some larger trucks have a critical weakness.
They may be engaged by locking the drive shaft
behind the transmission. If the weight is reduced
PRIOR TO OPERATING THE AERIAL LIFT,
REFER TO “DAILY VISUAL INSPECTION”,
SECTION 6 OF THIS MANUAL. DAILY
VISUAL INSPECTION MUST BE PERFORMED
BEFORE OPERATING THE LIFT.
