6.4 USE OF THE ELEVATING WORK PLATFORM (MEWP)
In the explanations contained in the following paragraphs it is considered that the operator
has previously read and understood that contained in the previous sections of this manual.
Therefore, warnings and photos, which are already present in other sections of this docu‑
ment, will be repeated to a minimum.
The JLG elevating work platforms are suitable for overhead jobs, operating inside the basket.
The platform must be used exclusively by skilled staff that is aware of the position and func‑
tion of all controls, instruments, indicators, warning lights and the meaning of the stickers
and indications present on the machine.
The operator must have understood the platform manoeuvre procedures before using it.
Correct use of the platform envisions, as well as the operator (or operators)in the basket, also
the presence of an expert operator on the ground, surveying the machine, ready to intervene
if dangerous situations should occur and for any emergency manoeuvres. This implies that
the staff on the ground is suitably trained regarding the functions of the controls and the
procedures for use and that they have read the manual.
‑ Failure to comply with even one safety provision could cause injury/damage to the ope‑
rators and/or the machine.
‑ Prepare a first‑aid box and a fire extinguisher in proximity of the work area. They must
be used in compliance with the regulations in force.
‑ Do not stop in the platform’s radius of action. The area below must be cordoned off; it is
prohibited to throw objects from or towards the basket.
‑ Tight clothing must be worn and all IPD must be used according to that envisioned from
the risk analysis of each individual site (shoes, helmets, gloves and safety belts).
‑ When the job must be performed by two or more persons, before starting, always agree
on the correct procedure to follow. Always inform other workers before starting the pro‑
cedure.
‑ At low temperatures start the engine for a few minutes to make the hydraulic oil cir‑
culate in a way that it reaches at least 20°C before activating the platform.
