review and understanding of this section and hands-on oper-
ation of the controls in simulated emergencies.
Operator Unable to Control Machine
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. 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 Caught Overhead
If the platform 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.
Righting of Tipped Machine
A forktruck of suitable capacity or equivalent equipment
should be placed under the elevated side of the chassis, with
a crane or other suitable lifting equipment used to lift the
platform while the chassis is lowered by the forklift or other
equipment.
Post-Incident Inspection
Following any incident, thoroughly inspect the machine and
test all functions first from the ground controls, then from the
platform controls. Do not lift above 10 feet (3 meters) until
you are secure that all damage has been repaired, if
required, and that all controls are operating correctly.
