 Activate the control buttons / levers only by manual action. It is not allowed to block
the control push buttons by any other means.

Environmental hazards

WARNING : Touching live power lines may result in death or serious injury.
 Refer to federal, state and local codes and regulations when working in the vicinity of
electrical overhead power lines. Consult the local power company for safe operating
procedures before rigging.
 Do use long-handled tools when working close to electric power lines.
 The minimum separation between live power lines and the platform and all of its
components is 3 meter.
 Verify that there are no obstructions in the vertical travel zone of the platform. Always
keep a good look-out when raising or lowering the platform. When running into an
obstruction : immediately stop the platform and inspect the platform and obstruction for
possible damage and/or hook-up. Proceed in a safe direction to clear the obstruction.
WARNING : Take care not to overload the system or get in a slack suspension
wire situation when running into an obstacle.
 For temporary suspended platforms with a lifting height of over 40m and intended
to be used on locations exposed to wind speeds above 14 m/s (= 50 km/h), an
adequate restraint shall be provided.
 Carefully follow the instructions for using and checking the fall arrest device in a
normal, contaminated or freezing environment.
 When using a hoist in or near a marine (or corrosive/salty) environment, more
frequent inspections are required. In these applications a thorough 4-hour interval
inspection of the hoists, steel wire rope, fittings and equipment has to be executed.
Make sure to replace all the components that get degraded by corrosion or wear.
WARNING : The electric powered hoists are not rated for operating in an
explosion hazardous environment. Select an air powered hoist.

Hazardous activities: welding

During welding, the electrocution hazard and the risk of the welding current passing
through the suspension steel wire ropes shall be eliminated by taking the following
precautions :
 Use an insulated thimble to attach each steel wire rope to its suspension point.
Electrically insulate the extra steel wire rope stored on the roof to prevent grounding, or
terminate the suspension rope at the insulated thimble.
