6.1.3 D
ANGER DUE TO THE WORK AREA
THE MACHINE CAN ONLY WORK ON COMPACT AND LEVEL GROUND.
Always verify that the slope of the ground in the platform positioning area does not exceed
the stabilization max inclination. During the stabilisation phase, use the spirit level positio‑
ned in proximity to the main controls to check that the maximum inclination of the coupling
with respect to horizontal does not exceed 1°.
Check the route for the presence of persons, holes, overhangs, obstacles, debris and cove‑
rings which may hide holes.
Before entering any high risk areas (refineries, power stations etc.) check accessibility with
plant safety staff.
6.2 PROCEDURES FOR CORRECT USE
Below are the procedures for using the platform as intended by the Constructor. Any use
other than that stated below is prohibited, unless authorised in writing by the Constructor .
6.2.1 S UMMAY TABLE OF OPERATOR SAFETY STANDARDS
The summary table shown below lists the general safety standards that must be followed
scrupulously by the operator before using the platform.
Remember that a sticker with this table can be found near the controls positioned on the
basket, where it is well visible from the control position.
‑ The elevating platform can only be used by specialised, previously‑trained personnel.
‑ All operations of the extensible structures must be performed from the control position
in the basket. The travel and stabilisation operations must be carried out after checking
that there is complete visibility of the work area. If the machine is controlled from the
ground, keep a minimum distance of 1 metre from the machine.
‑ The instructions contained in the USER AND OPERATION MANUAL that is provided
together with the machine must be followed scrupulously.
‑ Do not exceed the maximum allowed capacity indicated in the USER AND OPERATION
MANUAL and on the basket.
‑ The operator must wear a hard hat and a safety harness appropriately attached to the
relevant anchorage points on the basket.
Remember that the safety harnesses must be checked periodically.
The use of harnesses is compulsory in accordance with local legislation in each indivi‑
dual country. In countries where the law does not require the use of such safety systems,
the employer and/or user is responsible for choosing the system to be used.
