TION
properly and purges any air that may have become
entrapped in the hydraulic system.
If there is any kind of malfunction during this test run,
shut down the unit immediately. Do not operate the
lift again until the problem has been corrected by the
service department.
Operate each lift function from the lower controls by
constantly holding the 3-position selector valve control
handle in the lower controls position while slowly
moving the appropriate spring-loaded control handle
in the desired direction, as indicated by the decal,
until motion begins. All boom movements should be
started and stopped gradually.
DANGER:
NEVER REVERSE OR
STOP THE DIRECTION OF LIFT TRAVEL
SUDDENLY AND AVOID REACHING THE END OF
BOOM RANGE AT EXCESSIVE SPEEDS.
STRUCTURAL DAMAGE OR INSTABILITY MAY
RESULT CAUSING DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
Operating Procedures At The Platform:
Complete the start-up procedure from the ground
before selecting the upper controls with the 3-position
control selector. In order to operate the lift from the
platform, select the upper controls with the 3-position
selector lever at the lower control station. Verify that
the upper-boom tie-down strap is disengaged. Using
the step(s) provided, carefully enter the platform.
Safety regulations require the operator be secured
with a personnel restraint system to the lift. The
lanyard shall be attached to the safety belt/harness
and the other end connected to the lanyard anchor on
the platform support weldment. The safety belt must
be rotated so that the lanyard connection is centered
on the back of the operator.
DANGER:
NEVER OPERATE ANY
AERIAL EQUIPMENT WITHOUT WEARING AN
APPROVED PERSONNEL RESTRAINT SYSTEM
ATTACHED TO THE LANYARD ANCHOR ON THE
PLATFORM SUPPORT WELDMENT. FAILURE TO
SECURE THE SAFETY BELT AND LANYARD
MAY RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY IN
THE EVENT OF A FALL FROM THE PLATFORM.
Before operating the lift, the operator should study
“Upper Control Operation” in this section.
Operating Where Electrical Hazards Are Present:
It is imperative that the aerial device operator
understand the dangers associated with operating
near electrical hazards. Due to the work involved,
the ordinary uses of aerial-lift often place the operator,
others in the platform, and ground crew in the vicinity
of electrical lines and equipment where grave danger
exists. These dangers can only be avoided by the
constant care of an operator who is aware of these
dangers, knows the limitations of the aerial lift and its
insulating sections, and knows how to protect her/
himself and the crew from these dangers.
DANGER:
ALL COMPONENTS IN
THE PLATFORM AREA, INCLUDING THE
CONTROLS, JIB POLE, COVERS, ETC. SHALL
BE CONSIDERED ELECTRICALLY CONNECTED,
AND NOT INSULATED OR ISOLATED. THESE
COMPONENTS MAY CONDUCT ELECTRICITY
RESULTING IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
The insulation capabilities of this aerial lift are defined
by the rated line voltage on the ANSI A92.2 data
plate on the lift. Although the Versalift provides
insulated booms, no aerial lift can provide protection
from contact with or proximity to an electrically
charged power line when you are in contact with, or
in proximity to another power line. Maintain safe
clearances from electrical power lines in accordance
with applicable government regulations. Make certain
to allow clearance for boom, platform, and electrical
line sway and deflection.
DANGER:
CONTACT WITH, OR
INADEQUATE CLEARANCE FROM, ELECTRICAL
POWER LINES AND APPARATUS WILL CAUSE
DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
The accumulation of dirt and moisture on insulated
booms degrades the insulation. Be sure the booms
are clean and dry. Remember that the inside of a
boom may be wet even when the outside is dry. Any
equipment which bridges between the platform and
the ground voids the insulation and must be avoided
when working near areas of electrical hazard.
DANGER:
EQUIPMENT WHICH
BRIDGES BETWEEN THE PLATFORM AND
GROUND RENDERS THE INSULATION USELESS
AND MAY RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS
