2.2 Intended and improper use
CAUTION
The intended use is that of a machine, DESIGNED EXCLUSIVELY TO LIFT
PERSONNEL and their work tools, in compliance with the limits set forth by
the technical data.
The elevating work platform can be used for working at height whilst remaining inside the platform,
including:
• painting and routine or extraordinary maintenance of buildings
• maintenance of industrial plant and factories
• maintenance of electrical lines and the installation of electrical systems
• pruning

SAFETY
the limitations on use are described in the manual
Any mode or condition of use that does not fall within the limitations of use described in this manual
and not intended by the manufacturer is forbidden.
DANGER!
• It is forbidden to exceed the limits indicated in the technical data.
• It is forbidden to use the lifting platform in a manner other than that for which it
was intended and designed.
2.2.1 Non-permitted use
DANGER!
The manufacturer declines all responsibility for damage to property and/or injury
to persons caused by failure to observe the following warnings.
IT IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED TO:
• lift loads or perform oblique lifts.
• use the lifting platform to push and/or pull objects.
• take accessories or pieces of equipment onto the platform that are classied as dangerous (e.g.
ammable, toxic, explosive materials etc.) because of their chemical-physical characteristics.
• load the platform when it is raised.
2.3 Obligations and requirements
DANGER!
Failure to comply with safety standards could cause serious injury or even death.
CAUTION
Applicable national standards and legislation, safety standards set down by the
employer and those relating to the work area should all be observed.
Read and ensure you have understood the safety standards before reading the
following chapter.
DANGER!
The manufacturer declines all responsibility for damage to property and/or injury
to persons caused by failure to observe the following warnings.
CAUTION
Tampering with PPE and/or removing the lead-sealed and painted seals is
strictly prohibited.

SAFETY
2.3.1 Electrocution hazard
This machine is NOT electrically insulated and does NOT provide protection
from contact with or when in proximity to electric power lines.
Observe the minimum safety distances required by the current national
regulations or, in their absence, refer to the minimum distances indicated in the
table at the side (ref. ISO 18893: 2014).
Voltage eld (phase to phase) Minimum safe distance (ft)
0 to 50 kV 9,8
51 to 220 kV 13
221 to 500 kV 16,4
501 to 750 kV 32,8
751 to 1,000 kV 42,7
For Italy, as regards safe distances from electrical lines, the provisions of current legislation apply.
(reference to tab. 1, attachment IX, Italian Leg. Decree 81/2008, as amended).
Nominal Voltage (kV) Distance (ft)
≤ 1 9,8
1 < Nominal Voltage ≤ 30 11,5
30 < Nominal Voltage ≤ 132 16,4
> 132 23
DANGER!
• Do not use the machine as a ground for welding.
• Never use the machine during storms or in the presence of lightning.
DANGER!
• It is mandatory to observe the minimum safe distance from live aerial equipment
and lines.
• Clearance should be maintained, bearing in mind maximum extension of the
machine’s boom, as well as swaying of the conductors due to wind.
• Failure to comply with the minimum safety distances can cause death or serious
injury.
2.3.2 Tipping hazard
Before using the machine, make sure that the ground is able to support the weight
of the machine and withstand the pressure exerted by the stabilisers. Maximum
load is specied on the labels attached to the stabilisers and in the manual’s
technical specications.
Position the machine only on a level and stable surface.
