When climbing into the basket, fasten the safety harnesses immediately to the appro‑
priate fixing points before carrying out any operations. Remember that the safety har‑
nesses must be checked periodically.
‑
If the pressure of the stabilisers on the ground exceeds the allowable pressure on the
ground, the support surface must be increased by inserting appropriate plates or a sub‑
strate of stable material (e.g. wood) between the ground and the stabiliser plate. This
material must ensure good friction with the underlying ground and with the stabiliser
plate. Any risk of the machine sliding on the ground must be eliminated.

RELIMINARY CHECKS BEFORE STARTING WORK
Carry out the following checks every day before using the machine:
‑
Check that there are no leaks from the hydraulic system. If leaks are present, carry out
the necessary repairs and top up (see the paragraph on maintenance operations). Clean
the area using a solvent or a pressurised solution of water and detergent, taking care to
prevent contact with the electrical parts.
‑
Make sure there is no corrosion and there are no cracks around welded points.
‑
Check the condition and correct tensioning of the track belts (see the paragraph on main‑
tenance operations).
‑
Check that there are no broken, damaged or missing components. Check the correct
tightness of the pin locking bolts and nuts or the safety locknuts. Before using the machi‑
ne replace, tighten and adjust them according to the instructions of the platform manu‑
facturer.
‑
Eliminate debris that may cause fire or breakage, paying particular attention to the
machine control area and the area around the diesel/petrol engine.
‑
Clean the handrails, footboards and control levers removing any oil residues and debris
that may affect safety during the operations, thus putting the operator at risk. Check the
condition of the indicators and electric controls on the control board positioned on the
basket.
‑
Check the condition of the adhesive labels positioned on the machine to ensure they are
easily visible.
‑
Check that the quantity of fuel in the fuel tank is sufficient, in order to avoid useless
down time and emergency descents.
‑
Check the correct operation of all safety devices.
