If the machine must be used near electric power lines, the user must remain at a suitable
distance from the latter. The table below supplies the values relating to the minimum distan‑
ce from electric power lines depending on the type of voltage.

Keep a safe distance from mains power lines and electrical systems, considering the pos‑
sible range of movement of the platform and its oscillation, as well as the possible oscilla‑
tion of the power lines.
Before starting operation, examine the work area, taking note of overhead power
lines, moving machinery, such as overhead cranes and road, rail and building
equipment.
6.1.2 D
ANGER DUE TO ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS
DO NOT WORK IN UNFAVOURABLE ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS
Do not work in the presence of storms, snow, fog or wind exceeding 12 m/s.
Do not operate the machine when the ambient temperature drops below–10°C or exceeds
+40°C.
Should it unexpectedly rain, before resuming work always remember to check correct stabili‑
sation of the platform and make sure that the ground is solid. Make sure that water has not
penetrated into the electrical contacts.
