INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE OPERATOR
INTRODUCTION
IMPORTANT
The risk of accident while using, servicing or repairing your platform can be reduced if you follow the safety instructions
and preventive measures detailed in these instructions.
Failure to respect the safety and operating instructions, or the instructions for repairing or servicing your platform
may lead to serious, even fatal accidents.
- Only the operations and manoeuvres described in this operator’s manual must be performed. The manufacturer cannot
predict all possible risky situations. Consequently, the safety instructions given in the operator’s manual and on the
platform itself are not exhaustive.
- As an operator, you must at all times give reasonable consideration to the possible risks to yourself, to others or to the
platform itself when you use it.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
A - INSTRUCTION MANUAL
- Carefully read and understand the operator’s manual.
- The operator’s manual must always be in good condition and kept in the place provided on the platform and in the
language used by the operator.
- You must replace the instructions manual, as well as any plates or stickers, if they are no longer legible or are missing ordamaged.
- Any operations or manoeuvres not described in the operator’s manual are categorically forbidden.
- Follow the safety advice and the instructions on the platform.
- A second operator must be present on the ground as a safety measure when using the platform.
- Familiarise yourself with the platform on the terrain where it will be used.
- The machine must also be used in accordance with good engineering practice.
- Do not use the platform if there is a wind speed of over 45km/h. The platform’s arms must not be subjected to a side
force of more than 400 N (40kg).
- Platforms intended exclusively for indoor use must not be used outside the buildings.
B - AUTHORISATION FOR USE IN FRANCE
(or see current legislation in other countries).
- Only qualified, authorised personnel can use the platform. This authorisation is given in writing by the appropriate person
in the establishment where the platform is to be used and must be carried permanently by the operator.
- The operator is not empowered to authorise the driving of the platform by another person.
C - MAINTENANCE
- The operator must carry out the daily maintenance (
3-MAINTENANCE) before using the platform in his place of work.
- The operator must immediately advise his superior if his platform is not in good working order or does not comply with
the safety notice.
- The operator is prohibited from carrying out any repairs or adjustments himself, unless he has been trained for this
purpose. He must keep the platform properly cleaned if this is among his responsibilities.
- The operator is responsible for deciding and adjusting the frequency of cleaning needed to prevent the risk of fire ensuing
from the build-up of flammable material. The operator should pay special attention to all the areas of the platform where
these risk materials are likely to accumulate.
- The operator must ensure that the wheels are appropriate for the type of ground (see the ground contact area of the
wheels (2-DESCRIPTION: SPECIFICATIONS). Optional solutions are available, consult your dealer.
IMPORTANT
Do not use the platform if the wheels are damaged or excessively worn, because this could put your own safety or that of others at risk,
or cause damage to the platform itself.
IMPORTANT
In the case of electric platforms, the operator must ensure that:
- Safety goggles are always worn when charging the batteries.
- The batteries are not charged in an explosive environment.
- There is no smoking and no naked flame directed towards the batteries when they are being handled (removal/installation) and when monitoring filling levels.
Do not leave the battery charger connected during a lightning storm.
