INTRODUCTION-MAINTENANCE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS A.A GENERAL This section contains the general safety precautions which must be observed during maintenance of the aerial platform. It is of utmost importance that maintenance personnel pay strict attention to these warnings and precautions to avoid possible injury to themselves or others, or damage to the equipment. A maintenance program 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 VIOLATION. The specific precautions to be observed during 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 equipment, ensure that adequate support is provided. SINCE THE MACHINE MANUFACTURER HAS NO DIRECT CONTROL OVER THE FIELD INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE, SAFETY IN THIS AREA RESPONSIBILITY OF THE OWNER/OPERATOR. A. B HYDRAULIC SYSTEM SAFETY It should be noted that the machines hydraulic systems operate at extremely high potentially dangerous pressures . Every effort should be made to relieve any system pressure prior to disconnecting or removing any portion of the system. Relieve system pressure by cycling the applicable control several times with the engine stopped and ignition on, to direct any line pressure back into the reservoir. Pressure feed lines to system components can then be disconnected with minimal fluid loss. A.C MAINTENANCE FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH SAFETY PRECAUTIONS LISTED IN THIS SECTION MAY RESULT IN MACHINE DAMAGE, PERSONNEL INJURY OR DEATH AND IS A SAFETY VIOLATION. • NO SMOKING IS MANDATORY. NEVER REFUEL DURING ELECTRICAL STORMS. ENSURE THAT FUEL CAP IS CLOSED AND SECURE AT ALL OTHER TIMES. • REM

FAQs

Why is compliance with the maintenance safety precautions mandatory?

Because failure to follow the precautions may result in machine damage, personnel injury, or death, and is treated as a safety violation.

What safety violation does the manual warn about regarding modifications?

Modifying the machine without certification by a responsible authority that the machine is at least as safe as originally manufactured is a safety violation.

How should hydraulic system pressure be relieved before disconnecting components?

Relieve system pressure by cycling the applicable control several times with the engine stopped and ignition on, so line pressure is directed back into the reservoir before disconnecting lines.
