Operator Unable to Control Machine

IF THE PLATFORM OPERATOR IS PINNED, TRAPPED OR
UNABLE TO OPERATE OR CONTROL THE MACHINE:

DO NOT OPERATE WITH PRIMARY POWER SOURCE (ENGINE OR ELEC-
TRIC MOTOR) IF PERSONS ARE PINNED OR TRAPPED. USE AUXILIARY
POWER INSTEAD.

1. Operate the machine from ground controls ONLY with

the assistance of other personnel and equipment
(cranes, overhead hoists, etc.) as may be required to
safely remove the danger or emergency condition.

2. Other qualified personnel on the platform may use the

platform controls with regular or auxiliary power. DO
NOT CONTINUE OPERATION IF CONTROLS DO NOT
FUNCTION NORMALLY.

3. Cranes, forklift trucks or other equipment which may be

available are to be used to remove platform occupants
and stabilize motion of the machine in case machine
controls are inadequate or malfunction when used.

Platform or Boom Caught Overhead

If the platform or boom becomes jammed or snagged in
overhead structures or equipment, do not continue operation
of the machine from either the platform or the ground until
the operator and all personnel are safely moved to a secure
location. Only then should an attempt be made to free the
platform using any necessary equipment and personnel. Do
not operate controls to cause one or more wheels to leave
the ground.
