Chapter 4. Safety Devices
This aerial platform is manufactured with safety
devices, placards, and decals to reduce the
likelihood of an accident. For the safety of all
personnel, do not disable, modify, or ignore any
safety device. Safety devices are included in the
daily prestart inspection.
The potential for an accident increases when
safety devices do not function properly. Death
or serious injury can result from such
accidents. Do not alter, disable, or override
any safety device.
If any safety devices are defective, remove the
aerial platform from service until qualified
maintenance personnel can make repairs.
■ Emergency Stop Controls
There is an emergency stop control at the lower
and upper control station.
At the lower controls, the emergency stop is a
two-position toggle switch (refer to Figure 4.1)
with a red safety guard. Push the red safety
guard down over the toggle switch to disconnect
power to all control circuits. Lift the guard and
push the toggle switch up to restore power.
Figure 4.1—Lower Control Station
NOTE
The lower controls override the upper controls. If
the upper control emergency stop button is
engaged the lower controls can still be used to
operate the aerial platform.
At the upper controls, the emergency stop is a
two-position push button (refer to Figure 4.2).
Figure 4.2—Upper Control Station
Push the emergency stop button in to disengage
power to all control circuits. Pull the button out to
restore power.
■ Drive Motion Alarm
When the joystick is positioned to move the aerial
platform forward or in reverse, the drive motion
alarm emits a loud beeping sound. This alarm
warns personnel in the work area to stand clear.
■ Lowering Alarm
When the platform is being lowered, an alarm
sounds to warn personnel in the work area to
stand clear.
Pinch points exist on the scissors structure.
Death or serious injury can result if the
scissors structure lowers onto personnel
within the scissors arms or under the raised
platform. Make sure all personnel stand clear
while raising and lowering the platform.
Be careful when lowering the platform. Keep
hands and fingers away from the scissors
structure components.
