SECTION 1 - SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1-3
Platform-to-structure transfers at elevated positions are
discouraged. Where transfer is necessary, enter/exit
through the gate only with the platform within 1 foot (0.3m)
of a safe and secure structure. 100% tie-off is also
required in this situation utilizing two lanyards. One lan-
yard must be attached to the platform with the second lan-
yard attached to the structure. The lanyard connected to
the platform must not be disconnected until such time the
transfer to the structure is safe and complete.
Keep oil, mud, and slippery substances cleaned from
footwear and the platform floor.
Electrocution Hazards
This machine is not insulated and does not provide pro-
tection from contact with an electrically charged conduc-
tor.
Maintain safe clearance from electrical lines, apparatus, or
any energized (exposed or insulated) parts in accordance
with the Minimum Safe Approach Distance (MSAD) as
specified in Table 1-1. Allow for machine movement and
electrical line swaying.
Maintain a clearance of at least 10 ft. (3m) between any
part of the machine and its occupants, their tools, and
their equipment from any electrical line or apparatus car-
rying up to 50,000 volts. One foot additional clearance is
required for every additional 30,000 volts or less.
DO NOT MANEUVER MACHINE OR PERSONNEL INSIDE PROHIB-
ITED ZONE (MSAD). ASSUME ALL ELECTRICAL PARTS AND WIR-
ING ARE ENERGIZED UNLESS KNOWN OTHERWISE.
Tipping Hazards
Ensure that the ground conditions are adequate to sup-
port the maximum tire load indicated on the tire load
decals located on the chassis adjacent to each wheel. Do
not travel on unsupported surfaces.
The user should be familiar with the driving surface before
driving. Do not exceed the allowable sideslope and grade
while driving.
