SAFETY RULES Electrocution Hazards This machine is not electrically insulated and will not provide protection from contact with or proximity to electrical current. Maintain safe distances from electrical power lines and apparatus in accordance with applicable governmental regulations and the following chart. | Voltage
Phase to Phase | Minimum Safe Approach Distance
Feet Meters | | | --- | --- | --- | | 0 to 300V | Avoid Contact | | | 300V to 50KV | 10 | 3.05 | | 50KV to 200KV | 15 | 4.60 | | 200KV to 350KV | 20 | 6.10 | | 350KV to 500KV | 25 | 7.62 | | 500KV to 750KV | 35 | 10.67 | | 750KV to 1000KV | 45 | 13.72 | Allow for platform movement, electrical line sway or sag and beware of strong or gusty winds. Keep away from the machine if it contacts energized power lines. Personnel on the ground orin the platform must not touch or operate the machine until energized power lines are shut off. Do not operate the machine during lightning or storms. Do not use the machine as a ground for welding. Tip-over Hazards Occupants, equipment and materials must not exceed the maximum platform capacity or the maximum capacity of the platform extension. | Maxi

FAQs

What should operators do before starting the machine according to the manual?

Operators must learn and practice safe operation principles, perform a pre-operation inspection, run function tests prior to use, inspect the workplace, and operate only as intended.

What distance precautions are required for electrocution hazards near electrical lines?

The manual requires maintaining minimum safe approach distances based on voltage class and avoiding contact. If the machine contacts energized lines, personnel must not touch or operate it until power is shut off.

How do tip-over hazards limit platform use?

Occupants, equipment, and materials must not exceed maximum platform capacity or extension capacity, maximum occupants limits by model, and safe conditions for raising the platform (firm level surface, wind-speed limits, and speed restrictions).
