Electrical Hazard Warning
DANGER
THE TL39T AERIAL WORK PLATFORM, IN STANDARD CONFIGURATION, IS
NOT ELECTRICALLY INSULATED.
If the plat form, booms, or any other conductive part of a TL39T contacts a high-voltage electrical
conductor, the result can be SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH for persons on or near the machine.
GO NO CLOSER THAN THE MINIMUM SAFE APPROACH
DISTANCES (M.S.A.D) - AS OUTLINED IN TABLE 1. AND FIGURE 3.,
ON THE NEXT PAGE.
Be sure to allow for sag and sway in the wires and the work platform.
If a TL39T comes in contact with a live electrical conductor, the entire machine can be charged.
If that happens, you should re main on the machine and not contact any other structure or object within
reach. That includes the ground, adjacent buildings, poles, and any object not a part of the TL39T.
Such contact could make your body a conductor to the other object creating an electrical shock hazard
resulting in SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH.
DO NOT attempt to enter or leave the TL39T until you are sure the electricity has been turned off.
If a TL39T is in contact with a live conductor, the platform operator
MUST warn others on the ground
in the vicinity of the TL39T to STAY AWAY from the machine, since their bodies can also form a path
for electricity to ground thus creating an electrical shock hazard with possible ELECTROCUTION and
DEATH.
DO NOT attempt to operate the TL39T ground controls when the platform, booms, or any other conducting
part of a TL39T is in contact with electrical wires or if there is an immediate danger of such contact.
Regard all conductors as energized.
Personnel working on or near a TL39T must be continuously aware of electrical hazards, recognizing that
SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH can result if contact with an electrical wire does occur.
