Chapter 4 – Safety Devices

14 TB47J – 0075239EE

The gates close automatically after entering or exiting

the platform. The gate is part of the guardrail system and

must be securely fastened after entering the platform.

Lanyard Anchors

Two lanyard anchors for fall restraint anchorage are pro-

vided below the upper controls at the front of the platform

(refer to Figure 4.4).

Note

The lanyard anchors are not for lifting or tying the ma-

chine down.

All personnel in the platform must connect their fall re-

straint device to a lanyard anchor before raising the plat-

form. Do not use the aerial platform for personal fall ar-

rest anchorage.

Tilt Alarm

If the aerial platform chassis is out of level more than 3.5

degrees when the main boom is raised or extended, an

alarm will sound. The tilt alarm is located under the upper

control box (refer to Figure 4.6).

Figure 4.6 – Tilt Alarm

ADanger

The aerial platform can tip over if it becomes un-

stable. Death or serious injury will result from a tip-

over accident. Do not drive or position the aerial

platform for elevated use near any drop-off, hole,

slope, soft or uneven ground, or other tip-over haz-

ard.

Retract and lower the main boom and then drive to a level

surface when the tilt alarm sounds.

The tilt alarm is for added protection and does not justify

operating on anything other than firm, flat, level surfaces.

Ground Operation Switch

The ground operation switch (refer to Figure 4.1) prevents

boom and platform movement if a control switch on the

lower control panel is accidentally moved.

Hold the switch up to operate the machine from the lower

controls.

Platform Foot Switch

Stepping down on the platform foot switch (refer to Figure

4.4) activates the upper controls.

Figure 4.4 – Platform

The foot switch must be engaged and a control must be

moved to operate the boom, drive, and/or platform from

the upper controls.

Guardrails

The guardrail system includes a top rail, mid rail, and

toeboards around the sides of the platform (refer to Fig-

ure 4.4).

A gravity gate (refer to Figure 4.4) or an optional swinging

gate (refer to Figure 4.5) allows for access to the plat-

form.
