2 Safety
2.1 Emergency procedures
2.1.1 Emergency stop
To disable all of the scissor lift's functions:
Press the emergency stop button.
2.1.2 Contact with high-voltage power lines
Observe the following if the scissor lift comes into contact with high-voltage power lines:
1. Remain on the platform.
2. Drive the scissor lift out of the danger area.
3. Make sure bystanders do not touch the scissor lift.
4. Have the power disconnected from the high-voltage power lines.
5. Exit the scissor lift when the high-voltage power line is no longer energised.
2.2 Safety instructions
2.2.1 General information
Avoid any situation that may endanger the users of the scissor lift or any bystanders.
It is strictly forbidden:
• to lower hanging loads onto the scissor lift
• to use the scissor lift to hoist loads
• to attach advertising boards or banners to the scissor lift
• to increase the surface area of the platform
• to stand on the guardrails surrounding the platform
• to raise the height of the platform floor
• to use any type of ladder on the platform
• to enter or exit the platform in the raised position
• to tow the scissor lift on public roads
After every (major) repair, the scissor lift must be inspected and approved by an expert.
If any modifications or repairs are carried out which may affect the scissor lift's stability,
strength or performance, the scissor lift must be reinspected and approved by HOLLAND
LIFT INTERNATIONAL B.V.
Any inspections, tests, repairs or modifications must be recorded in the scissor lift logbook.
The weighted root mean square acceleration value (vibrations) that the user is subjected to
during use of the scissor lift is not greater than 2.5 m/s².

The noise produced by the scissor lift in the work area at a distance of 7 metres and at
maximum load does not exceed 75 dB(A).
Exposure to the noise over a long period of time may be detrimental to the hearing if hearing
protection is not worn.
2.2.2 Safety instructions during normal use
Only use the scissor lift under the following conditions:
• there is no visible damage to the scissor lift
• all the functions work correctly
• all the safety devices work correctly
• the hydraulic system does not leak
• the hydraulic system contains the correct quantity of oil
Lock the covers of the cabinets on the bottom carriage.
Do not touch the moving or pivoting parts of the scissor lift (e.g. the scissor mechanism or the
steering gear).
Make sure the driving area and the work area are:
• sufficiently flat and able to support the weight of the scissor lift
• adequately lit
• free of obstacles
• free of snow and ice
Make sure the scissor lift cannot touch any fixed or moving obstacles.
Make sure no objects can fall from the platform (e.g. tools).
If tools which may cause a fire are used on the platform, a fire extinguisher must be present
on the platform.
 The scissor lift may only be driven when fully extended if it is driven in an enclosed space on a
completely flat surface which is able to support the weight of the scissor lift. The user must be
aware of this. An additional safety requirement is that the scissor lift must be operated by two
people at all times. One person must work on the platform and the other person must remain
on the ground. They can maintain contact with each other using communication equipment.

In normal situations, the 8-metre stop should work. The key switch is in the ‘0’ position by
default. This means that it is possible to drive the scissor lift when it is extended up to a height
of 8 metres. Position ‘1’ means: it is possible to drive the scissor lift when it is extended to the
maximum height. The maximum speed is 0.5 km/h when the scissor lift is extended above a
height of 4 m. 
The key switch is located on the electrical box.
Only charge the battery of the scissor lift in an area that is well ventilated and where smoking
and naked flame are prohibited.
Important conditions concerning driving up or down inclines in the scissor lift's longitudinal
direction:
• See the technical information in the instruction manual for the maximum incline that the
scissor lift can be driven on.
• The maximum load when driving up an incline is 80 kg (1 person).
• Place the platform in the lowest position.
• Select the slowest speed.
• Do not make any sharp steering movements when driving up an incline.
• Drive up an incline with the non-driven wheels uphill.

It is strictly forbidden:
• to operate the scissor lift from the ground using the control box (except for transport
reasons or when carrying out maintenance work on the scissor lift)
• to use the scissor lift to carry out work on or near high-voltage electrical lines
• to use the scissor lift to work in an area where there is a risk of explosion
2.2.3 Safety instructions during maintenance
Always wear the required safety equipment (e.g. safety goggles, hearing protection, helmet)
when carrying out maintenance work on the scissor lift.
Prevent the scissor lift from being able to roll away. For example, place chocks against the
wheels.
Prevent the risk of crushing in the scissor mechanism. Make sure the safety prop has been
fitted before working on parts such as the scissor mechanism (e.g. lubricating the scissor
mechanism).
If the scissor lift is switched off during maintenance work and must remain off, take measures
to prevent the scissor lift from being switched on unexpectedly or unintentionally. Make sure
others cannot undo the measures that have been taken.
Before cleaning the scissor lift with steam, water or other liquids, protect all components that
must not be exposed to liquids. Remove the protection after cleaning the scissor lift.
Make sure oil, grease and other substances that are harmful to the environment are disposed
of in a safe and environmentally-friendly manner.
2.2.4 Safety instructions when working on the electrical system
Turn off the scissor lift before working on the electrical system.
2.2.5 Safety instructions when working on the hydraulic system
Make sure the correct fire extinguisher is available. Leaking oil can be hot and may therefore
cause a fire.
Lower the platform as far as possible before carrying out work on the hydraulic system.
Release the pressure before working on the hydraulic system.
Do not touch the hydraulic systems lines. Leaking, hot oil can cause burns or penetrate the
skin. If you come into contact with the oil, immediately contact a doctor who has experience
with this type of injury.

2.4 Users
The management is obliged to instruct the users of the scissor lift in its use and maintenance
with the aid of the instruction manual, additional instructions and directions.
The instruction manual must be easily accessible to the user at all times in a tube that has
been fitted in the scissor lift's valve/electrical compartment for that purpose. 
If necessary, HOLLAND LIFT INTERNATIONAL B.V. can provide a new copy on request.

how to operate the scissor lift and who have read and understood the operating instructions
and regulations that are applicable to the HOLLAND LIFT INTERNATIONAL B.V. scissor lift.
It is strictly forbidden for people to operate the scissor lift when they are under the influence of
alcohol, drugs or medicine that impairs their ability to work safely.
In the Netherlands, it is recommended that operators be required to obtain the elevating work
platform safety certificate (Veiligheidscertificaat Hoogwerker). This is recognised by the
Vertical Transport Certification Supervisory Association (TCVT).
The IPAF Mobile Elevated Working Platform Operator course is recognised internationally.
Maintenance may only be carried out by people who have read and understood the
instructions contained in the instruction manual and who have specific knowledge of the
operation and construction of the scissor lift manufactured by HOLLAND LIFT
INTERNATIONAL B.V.
2.5 Intended use
Only use the scissor lift for the intended use.
Also see section 1.8.1.
