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.
