C - ENVIRONMENT
- Comply with site safety regulations.
- The platform can be operated from the ground: ensure that you forbid access.
- If you have to use the platform in a dark area or at night, make sure it is equipped with working lights.
- The platforms may not be used as cranes or elevators for the permanent transport of people or materials, nor as jacks
or supports.
- Suspending a load under the basket or on any part of the lifting apparatus is strictly forbidden.
- When operating, ensure that there is no one or anything impeding the platform’s progress and operation.
- When raising the platform, ensure that no one or anything impedes the platform’s operation and do not perform any
inappropriate manoeuvres.
- Do not allow anybody to come near the working area of the platform or pass beneath an elevated load. To ensure this,
mark out your working area.
- Driving on a longitudinal slope:
• Adjust the platform speed with the proportional control handle.
- Take into account the platform’s dimensions and its load before trying to negotiate a narrow or low passageway.
- Never move onto a loading bridge without having first checked:
• That it is suitably positioned and made fast.
• That the unit to which it is connected (wagon, lorry, etc.) will not shift.
• That this bridge is prescribed for the size and mass of the platform (2-DESCRIPTION).
• That the slope of the bridge is not greater than the platform’s maximum authorised slope (2-DESCRIPTION).
- Never move onto a foot bridge, floor or freight lift, without being certain that they are prescribed for the mass and size
of the platform to be loaded and without having checked that they are in sound working order.
- Be careful in the area of loading bays, trenches, scaffolding, soft ground, manholes, etc.
- Make sure the ground is stable and firm under the wheels and/or stabilisers before lifting the basket. If necessary, add
sufficient wedging under the stabilisers. Do not attempt to carry out operations that exceed the platform’s capabilities.
- Ensure that any materials loaded onto the platform (pipes, cables, containers, etc.) cannot fall out. Do not pile these
materials to the point where it is necessary to step over them.
IMPORTANT
If the basket must remain stationary over a structure for a long period, there is a risk that the basket will descend and rest on this structure
because of the oil cooling in the cylinders or a minor leak in the cylinder locking system. To eliminate this risk:
- Regularly check the distance between the basket and the structure and re-adjust if necessary.
- If possible use the platform at an oil temperature as close as possible to ambient temperature.
- In the case of work near aerial lines, ensure that the safety distance is sufficient between the working area of the platform
and the aerial line.
IMPORTANT
You must consult your local electrical agency.
You could be electrocuted or seriously injured if you operate or park the platform too close to power cables.
IMPORTANT
If the platform comes into contact with electric wires, press the Emergency Stop button.
Call for help, warn people on the ground not to touch the basket, and ask them to switch off the power supply to the wires or have it switched off.
IMPORTANT
It is forbidden to use the platform close to electricity cables. Maintain the specified safe distances.
