Trip and Fall Hazards

Keep both feet firmly positioned on the platform floor at all times. Never position

ladders, boxes, steps, planks, or similar items on unit to provide additional

reach or height.

Never use the boom assembly to gain access to or leave the platform.

Use extreme caution when entering or leaving platform. Ensure that the platform

is fully lowered. Always maintain “three point contact” with the platform,

using two hands and one foot or two feet and one hand at all times during

entry and exit.

Platform-to-structure transfers at elevated positions are discouraged. Where

transfer is necessary, enter/exit through the gate only with the platform within

1 foot (0.3m) of a safe and secure structure. 100% tie-off is also required in

this situation utilizing two lanyards. One lanyard must be attached to the

platform with the second lanyard attached to the structure. The lanyard

connected to the platform must not be disconnected until such time that the

transfer to the structure is safe and complete.

(exposed or insulated) parts in accordance with the Minimum Safe Approach

Maintain a clearance of at least 10 ft. (3m) between any part of the machine

and its occupants, their tools, and their equipment from any electrical line or

apparatus carrying up to 50,000 volts. One foot additional clearance is required

for every additional 30,000 volts or less.

Tipping Hazards

Do not operate platform while on a sloping, uneven, or soft surface. Level the

personnel work platform both side to side and front to back before lifting

personnel.

Never exceed the maximum work load as specified on the capacity decal and

capacity indicator located on the control console. Distribute load evenly on

platform floor. Keep all loads within the confines of the platform unless written

authorization is received from Gradall.

Crushing Hazards

Keep hands and limbs away from boom assembly during operation.

Check clearances above, on sides and bottom of platform when moving platform.

During operation, keep all body parts inside platform railing. Avoid operating

over ground personnel. Warn personnel not to work, stand, or walk under a

raised boom or platform. Position barricades as necessary.
