secure location. Only then should an attempt be made to
free the platform using any necessary equipment and per-
sonnel. Do not operate controls to cause one or more
wheels to leave the ground.
Righting a Tipped Machine

platform or ground controls. a fork truck of suitable capac-

equipment may also be used to lift the platform while the
chassis is lowered by a fork truck, jacks, or other means.
Remove all personnel and equipment from the area
before starting operation.
Post Incident Inspection and Repair
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 m)

required, and that all controls are operating correctly.
