‑ it is compulsory to check in advance that the plants being pruned cannot fall on any part
of the platform or the basket.
6.8.4 R EPAIR AND MAINTENANCE OF ROOFING AND GUTTERS
Remember that it is prohibited to use the platform for the transport of material at a height
even if this is within the capacity limits specified by the manufacturer; the EWP is not a lif‑
ting device.
It is also very important to remember that once the basket has been lifted from the chassis it
is prohibited to load objects.Remember that no safety device can help if the basket is overloa‑
ded at a height. The emergency descent procedure does not prevent overturning. The only
way to make things safe is to unload the basket and return as quickly as possible within the
allowable limits based on the work configuration.
6.8.5 P AINTING , SAND ‑ BLASTING AND PLASTERING
This type of use requires meticulous protection of the delicate parts of the machine such as
hydraulic cylinder rods, gaskets, safety devices, hydraulic telescopic extension arms and
markings on the machine (e.g. rating plate, warning stickers, capacity table etc.).
If sand enters the grease protecting the extension arms it produces an extremely abrasive
mixture, affecting the quality of the movements and working life of the machine.
6.8.6 U
SE IN MARINE ENVIRONMENTS
If the machine is used in particularly corrosive environments and atmospheres, the forma‑
tion of rust and the greasing and lubrication conditions of the moving parts must be checked
more frequently than recommended by the manufacturer for normal operating conditions.
It is also good practice to protect the machine carefully every time it is not used, even for
short periods, by covering it to shield it against salt and sand carried by the wind.
