2.1.2 - Falling Hazards
N.B.-:-THE GUARDRAIL IS THE MAIN PROTECTION SYSTEM AGAINST FALLS FROM THE MOBILE
LIFTING PLATFORM (PEMP).
Before commencing operation :
• Ensure that guard rails are correctly installed and secured.
• Remove oil or grease from the steps, floor, handrail and the guardrails.
• Clean the floor of the platform (no debris).
• Ensure that gate or sliding bar is in its securely locked position.
• If using a machine that has a swing gate, check that the entry gate
closes by itself and gate latches and locks.
To enter or exit from the platform :
• The machine must be completely stowed (Access configuration).
• Face the machine to access the opening to the platform.
• Keep 3 points of contact (both hands and a foot) on the steps and
the guardrail.
• Keep fingers away from moving parts near entry gate.
When in the platform :
• Where personal fall protection equipment (FPE) is required by the
employer, a competent authority or local regulations, we
recommend using a full harness with a safety line.
• Personal fall protection equipment must only be fastened to
approved fall protection anchoring points on the platform provided
for this purpose.
• Refer to this decal located on the platform.
• Safety lines must never be attached to an object or structure
outside of the work platform.
• Hold on securely to the guardrails.
• Always keep your feet firmly on the floor of the platform.
• Do not sit, stand, or climb on the platform guard rails.
• Do not lean on the gate or sliding bar.
• Do not lean over the guard rails or climb over them. Only work in
the platform area within the guard rails.

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.
• Position loads uniformly in the centre of the work platform.
• 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 the machine to support any external structure.
• Do not use the machine to tow other machines or to drag materials.
• 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.
• 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 at wind speeds that are above the
permissible threshold. Refer to the display on the work platform to
view the permissible wind speed.
• Do not increase the surface area of the platform exposed to wind.
This includes adding panels, mesh, banners. Failure to follow this
instruction may lead to a loss of stability and as a result, the
machine could tip over.
• Do not raise the platform or move the machine with the platform
raised on a slope with a gradient greater than the machine's
permissible limit.
• Do not drive the machine on slopes or grades exceeding the
specified limits.

WIND: the aerial work platform can be used up to the maximum wind speed indicated in the
specifications in this manual. To identify the local wind speed, use the Beaufort scale below,
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.

proximity to electrically charged conductors.
Always position all parts of the aerial work platform, the occupants, accessories and tools at a
reasonable distance from power lines to ensure that no part of the work platform accidentally
comes into contact with a power line.
Apply local regulations pertaining to safety distances. If this is not possible, follow the
distances in the table below at a minimum :
Minimum safe approach distances
Risk of death or serious injuries
Electric voltage Minimum safety distance
Mètre Feet
0 - 300 V Avoid contact
300 V - 50 kV 310
50 - 200 kV 515
200 - 350 kV 620
350 - 500 kV 825
500 - 750 kV 11 35

2.1.5 - Explosion / Fire Hazards
2.1.6 - Crushing / Collision Hazards
• Warn personnel not to work, stand, or walk under a raised boom/platform.
• Always ensure that the chassis is never kept 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.
Before using the machine, mark out the machine's work and circulation area using a marking system
appropriate to the task at hand and the work environment.
When in the platform :
• Check the work area for overhead clearance, for any obstacles
besides and below the platform when raising/lowering the
platform and or before driving.
• 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.
• To position machine close to a building/structure, use extension
deck feature, instead of driving machine closer to structure.

• Keep non-operating personnel at least 5 m (16 ft 5 in) away from the machine when driving.
• Be aware of driving direction.
• Check the driving direction with the help of the red or white arrows on the chassis and the platform control box.
• Also note that 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.
• Personal Protection Equipment (EPI) :
• The occupants of the aerial work platform must wear personal protection equipment and comply with local
regulations in force.
• Operators must comply with the safety standards of the job site and the employer, as well as the applicable
state regulations relating to the use of personal protective equipment.
• All personal fall protection equipment (PFPE) must comply with current regulations, must be inspected and
used in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
• 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 - Risk of involuntary movements
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).
