1.8 MAINTENANCE
This section contains the general safety precautions
which must be observed during maintenance of the aerial
work platform. It is of utmost importance that maintenance
personnel pay strict attention to these warnings and pre-
cautions to avoid possible injury to themselves or others
or damage to the equipment. A maintenance program
must be established by a qualified person and must be
followed to ensure that the machine is safe to operate.
MODIFICATION OF THE MACHINE WITHOUT CERTIFICATION BY
A RESPONSIBLE AUTHORITY THAT THE MACHINE IS AT LEAST
AS SAFE AS ORIGINALLY MANUFACTURED IS A SAFETY VIOLA-
TION.
The specific precautions to be observed during machine
maintenance are inserted at the appropriate point in the
manual. These precautions are, for the most part, those
that apply when servicing hydraulic and larger machine
component parts.
Your safety, and that of others, is the first consideration
when engaging in the maintenance of equipment. Always
be conscious of weight.
Never attempt to move heavy parts without the aid of a
mechanical device. Do not allow heavy objects to rest in
an unstable position. When raising a portion of the equip-
ment, ensure that adequate support is provided.
• ALWAYS DISCONNECT BATTERIES WHEN REPLAC-
ING ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS.
• REMOVE RINGS, WATCHES AND JEWELRY WHEN
PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE.
• DO NOT WEAR LOOSE FITTING CLOTHING OR LONG
HAIR UNRESTRAINED, WHICH IS APT TO BECOME
CAUGHT ON, OR ENTANGLED IN EQUIPMENT.
• USE ONLY CLEAN APPROVED NONFLAMMABLE
CLEANING SOLVENTS.
• SHUT OFF ALL POWER CONTROLS BEFORE MAK-
ING ADJUSTMENTS, LUBRICATING OR PERFORM-
ING ANY OTHER MAINTENANCE.
• NEVER WORK UNDER AN ELEVATED PLATFORM
UNTIL IT HAS BEEN RESTRAINED FROM MOVEMENT
WITH SAFETY PROPS, BLOCKING OR OVERHEAD
SLING.
• NEVER ALTER, REMOVE OR SUBSTITUTE ANY
ITEMS SUCH AS COUNTERWEIGHTS, SOLID TIRES,
BAT TERIES, ETC. WHICH WOULD REDUCE THE
OVERALL WEIGHT OR BASE STABILITY OF THE
MACHINE.
