2.1.3 - Overturning / Tip-over Hazards
Before positioning and operating the machine :
• Ensure that the surface is capable of supporting the machine weight
including the rated capacity. Check the load bearing capacity of the
supporting ground.
• Do not operate on surfaces that do not support force exerted by the
outriggers during aerial work platform operation.
• Do not exceed the maximum rated capacity that includes the weight
of both material and allowed number of occupants. Do not exceed
the allowable number of occupants.
• Place the loads uniformly distributed on the platform floor.
• Do not increase the working height (using extensions, ladder, etc.).
• Do not place ladders or scaffolds in the platform or against any part
of this machine.
• Do not use the machine in winds exceeding the permissible limit.
• Do not increase the surface area of the platform exposed to wind.
This includes adding panels, mesh, banners. Be aware when
working with materials with a large surface area. This will add to the
wind load on the machine.
• Do not replace components critical to stability with components of
different weight or specification.
• Do not use the machine with material or objects hanging from the
guardrail or the boom.
• Do not pull or push towards any object outside of the platform. Do not
exceed the maximum allowable side force stated in the performance
specifications.
• Do not use boom or platform to push or pull or to lift any part of the
trailer.
• Do not use the machine to support any external structure.
• Do not use the machine to drag materials.
• Do not operate aerial work platform without outriggers fully extended
or when platform is not level.

WIND : The aerial work platform can operate up to a maximum wind speed as indicated in the
specifications. To identify the local wind speed, use the Beaufort scale below, use a wind
gauge or an anemometer.
N.B.-:-THE BEAUFORT SCALE OF WIND FORCE IS ACCEPTED INTERNATIONALLY AND IS USED WHEN
COMMUNICATING WEATHER CONDITIONS. A WIND SPEED RANGE AT 10 M(32 FT 9 IN) ABOVE FLAT,
CLEAR LAND IS ASSOCIATED WITH EACH DEGREE.

2.1.4 - Electrocution Hazards
The machine is not electrically insulated and does not provide protection from contact or
proximity to electrically charged conductors.
Always position the lift at a safe distance from electrically charged conductors to ensure that
no part of the machine is within an unsafe area.
Respect the local rules and the minimum safety distance from power lines.
Minimum safe approach distances
N.B.-:-USE THIS TABLE EXCEPT WHERE LOCAL REGULATIONS INDICATE OTHERWISE.

• Do not operate the machine when close to live power lines,
consider the movement of the machine and the sway of the
electric power lines particularly in windy conditions.
• Do not operate the machine during lightning, thunderstorms,
snow/ice or any weather condition that could compromise
operator safety.
• Do not use the machine as a ground for welding.
• Do not weld on the machine without first disconnecting the battery
terminals.
• Always disconnect ground cable first.
• The machine must not be used while charging the batteries.
• When using the AC power supply, ensure it is protected with a
circuit breaker and residual current device.
Keep away from the machine if it contacts energized power lines.
Personnel on the ground or in the platform must not touch or
operate the machine until energized power lines are shut off.

2.1.5 - Explosion / Fire Hazards
2.1.6 - Crushing / Collision Hazards
• Always cordon off the area around the base of the machine to keep personnel and other
equipment away from the machine while in use.
• Warn personnel not to work, stand, or walk under a raised boom/platform.
• Do not drive in reverse direction (opposite the field of vision).
• Be aware of the boom position and tail swing when rotating the turret (turntable).
• Always ensure that the chassis is never driven any closer than 1 m (3 ft 3 in) to holes,
bumps, slopes, obstructions, debris and ground coverings that may hide holes and other
dangers.
Always wear protective clothing and eye wear when working with
batteries and power sources/systems.
N.B.-:-ACID IS NEUTRALIZED WITH SODIUM BICARBONATE AND WATER.
• Do not start the engine if you smell or detect liquid propane gas
(LPG), gasoline, diesel fuel or other explosive substances.
• Do not work on or operate a machine in an explosive or flammable
atmosphere / environment.
• Do not touch hot components.
• Do not bridge the battery terminals with metallic objects.
• Do not service the battery in proximity of spark, open flame, lit
cigarettes.
• Do not fill up the fuel tank, when the engine is running and/or near
a flame.
• Avoid contact with battery acid. Battery acid causes serious burns
and should be kept away from skin or eyes. If contact occurs, flush
with water and consult a physician immediately.
When in the platform :
• Check the work area for clearance overhead, beside and below
the platform when lifting and lowering the platform.
• During movement, keep all the parts of the body inside the
platform. Hold onto the guardrails on the opposite side to any
surrounding structures. Take care to avoid trapping hands whilst
holding the guardrails.
• Ensure there are no obstacles (structure) in the work area.

• Keep non-operating personnel at least 5 m (16 ft 5 in) away from the machine when driving
and slewing.
• Be aware of driving direction.
• When changing the driving direction (Forward <> Reverse) the joysticks or switches must return to the neutral
position before reversing the drive direction and for movement to occur.
• When driving, position the platform so as to provide the best possible visibility and to avoid
any blind spots.
• Hold on securely to the guardrails.
• Occupants must wear a fall arrest harness with energy absorber, in accordance with
applicable governmental regulations. Attach the lanyard to the designated fall arrest anchor
provided in the platform.
• Avoid contact with fixed or mobile obstacles (other machines).
• Other machines (crane, aerial work platform, etc.) operating in the work area increase the
risk of crushing or collision. Restrict the operation of machines moving within the aerial work
platform work area.
• Take into consideration the stopping distance, reduced visibility and blind spots of the
machine.
• Limit travel speed to suit the ground surface condition, slope (incline), and people in the
vicinity.
2.1.7 - Uncontrolled movement Hazards
Never use a damaged or malfunctioning machine.
Always respect the following rules :
• Maintain clearance from high voltage lines.
• Maintain clearance from generators, radar, electromagnetic fields.
• Never expose the batteries or electrical components to water (high pressure washer, rain).
