operating properly and purges any air that may have
become entrapped in the hydraulic system.
If there is any kind of malfunction during this test run,
shut down the unit immediately. Do not operate the
lift again until the problem has been corrected by the
service department.
Operate each lift function from the lower controls
by constantly holding the 3-position selector valve
control handle in the lower controls position while
slowly moving the appropriate spring-loaded control
handle in the desired direction, as indicated by the
decal, until motion begins. All boom movements
should be started and stopped gradually.
DANGER:
NEVER REVERSE OR STOP
THE DIRECTION OF LIFT TRAVEL SUDDENLY
AND AVOID REACHING THE END OF BOOM
RANGE AT EXCESSIVE SPEEDS. STRUCTURAL
DAMAGE OR INSTABILITY MAY RESULT
CAUSING DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
Operating Procedures At The Platform:
Complete the start-up procedure from the ground
before selecting the upper controls with the 3-position
control selector. In order to operate the lift from the
platform, select the upper controls with the 3-position
selector lever at the lower control station. Verify that
the upper boom tie-down strap is disengaged.
If equipped, remove boom cover from insulated boom
section, it is NOT insulated.
DANGER:
BEFORE ANY LIVE WORK
IS TO BE PERFORMED, REMOVE BOOM
COVER FROM INSULATED SECTION, IT IS NOT
INSULATED. FAILURE TO REMOVE BOOM
COVER MAY RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS
INJURY.
Using the step(s) provided, carefully enter the
platform. Safety regulations require the operator
be secured with a personnel restraint system to the
lift. The lanyard shall be attached to the safety belt/
harness and the other end connected to lanyard
anchor on the platform support structure. The safety
belt must be rotated so that the lanyard connection
is centered on the back of the operator.
DANGER:
NEVER OPERATE ANY
AERIAL EQUIPMENT WITHOUT WEARING AN
APPROVED PERSONNEL RESTRAINT SYSTEM
ATTACHED TO THE ANCHOR. FAILURE TO
SECURE THE SAFETY BELT AND LANYARD MAY
RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY IN THE
EVENT OF A FALL FROM THE PLATFORM.
Before operating the lift, the operator should study
“Upper Control Operation” in this section.
Operating Where Electrical Hazards Are Present:
It is imperative that the aerial device operator
understand the dangers associated with operating
near electrical hazards. Due to the work involved, the
ordinary uses of aerial lift often place the operator,
others in the platform, and ground crew in the vicinity
of electrical lines and equipment where grave danger
exists. These dangers can only be avoided by the
constant care of an operator who is aware of these
dangers, knows the limitations of the aerial lift and
its insulating sections, and knows how to protect her/
himself and the crew from these dangers.
DANGER:
ALL COMPONENTS IN
THE PLATFORM AREA, INCLUDING THE
CONTROLS, JIB POLE, COVERS, ETC. SHALL
BE CONSIDERED ELECTRICALLY CONNECTED,
AND NOT INSULATED OR ISOLATED. THESE
COMPONENTS MAY CONDUCT ELECTRICITY
RESULTING IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
The insulation capabilities of this aerial lift are
defined by the rated line voltage on the ANSI
A92.2 data plate. Although the Versalift provides
insulated booms, no aerial lift can provide protection
from contact with or proximity to an electrically
charged power line when you are in contact with,
or in proximity to another power line. Maintain safe
clearances from electrical power lines in accordance
with applicable government regulations. Make
certain to allow clearance for boom, platform, and
electrical line sway and deflection.

INADEQUATE CLEARANCE FROM, ELECTRICAL
POWER LINES AND APPARATUS WILL CAUSE
DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
The accumulation of dirt and moisture on insulated
booms degrades the insulation. Be sure the booms
are clean and dry. Remember that the inside of a
boom may be wet even when the outside is dry. Any
equipment which bridges between the platform and
the ground voids the insulation and must be avoided
