PLATFORM OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
For lift trucks fitted with a PLATFORM
A - AUTHORISATION FOR USE
- Operation of the platform requires further authorisation in addition to that of the lift truck.
B - LIFT TRUCK SUITABILITY FOR USE
- MANITOU has ensured that this platform is suitable for use under the normal operating conditions defined in this operator's
manual, with a
STATIC
test coefficient
OF 1,25
and a
DYNAMIC
test coefficient
OF 1,1
, as specified in harmonised standard
EN 280
for "mobile elevating work platforms".
- Before commissioning, the company manager must make sure that platform is appropriate for the work to be done, and
perform certain tests (in accordance with current legislation).
C - PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING THE PLATFORM
- Wear suitable clothing when using the platform, avoid loosely-fitting garments.

- Remain alert at all times when using the platform. Do not listen to the radio or music using headphones or earphones.
- For increased comfort, adopt the correct position at the platform's operator station.
- The platform's guard rail exempts the operator from wearing a safety harness under normal operating conditions. As a
result, you are responsible for deciding whether to wear a safety harness.
- The control units must never in any event be used for any other than their intended purposes (e.g. climbing onto or down
from the lift truck, portmanteau, etc.).
- Safety helmets must be worn.
- The operator must always be in the normal operator's position. It is prohibited to have arms or legs, or generally any part
of the body, protruding from the basket.
- Ensure that any materials loaded onto the platform (pipes, cables, containers, etc.) cannot fall out. Do not pile these
materials to the point where it is necessary to step over them.
D - USING THE PLATFORM
- However experienced they may be, operators must acquaint themselves with the emplacement and operation of all
control instruments prior to operating the platform.
- Check before use that the platform has been correctly assembled and locked onto the lift truck.

- It is forbidden to transport people on the platform using the hydraulic controls in the lift truck’s driver’s cab (except in
case of rescue).
- The operator must not climb onto to off the platform when it is not on ground level (jib retracted and in the down position).
- The platform must not be fitted with attachments that increase the unit's wind load.
- Do not use ladders or improvised structures in the platform to gain extra height.
