FAQs

Who is allowed to operate the machine?

Only trained and authorized personnel may operate the machine. The manual and safety rules must be read, understood, and followed before operation.

What should be done if the tilt alarm sounds?

Lower the platform, move the machine to a firm, level surface, and use extreme caution if the tilt alarm sounds while the platform is raised.

How is a safe approach distance to electrical power lines determined?

Distances depend on the voltage range; for example, contact must be avoided for 0 to 300V, while higher ranges require specific minimum safe approach distances listed in the manual.
