8. Only qualified mechanics are authorized to
service the aerial lift.

9. The polyester winch rope is not an insulator.

Dirt, grease, and moisture (humidity) make the
rope conductive.

10. Make a thorough check of the winch rope for

abrasive wear, pulled strands, cuts, and other
defects daily.

11. Replace the winch rope at the first sign of

damage or deterioration. Use only non-
conductive rope of the size and type specified.

12. Avoid shock loads. A shock load is caused by

jerking a line with a load or a sudden change in
rope tension from a light load to a heavy load.

the boom in step 2 was white, read the capacity
from the white portion of the decal.
4. Check the capacity of the jib pole by reading

5. The actual lifting capacity is the smaller of the

Example - See Figure 4.13

1. In this example, the lower boom angle indicator
is white, so material handling is allowed.
2. The inner boom is white where it exits the outer

3. Reading the white zone, the inner boom pointer

4. The jib pole tilt decal reads 500 lbs.
5. The actual lifting capacity is the smaller of the

 EMERGENCY OPERATION

Emergency operation may be required ifan operator

is injured or the hydraulic system malfunctions. This S^ScrewType
chapter describes the controls and features designed
to accommodate emergency operation and to
describe some procedures for responding to
emergency situations. In an emergency, the first
priority is always the safety of the personnel. Before
attempts are made to rescue personnel, make sure
the unit has not become electrically energized.
Identifying the problem and initiating emergency
procedures promptly helps minimize or possibly
prevents injuries. It is important to follow standard
work practices and safety regulations. Bleeder Ports

RESPONSIBILITIES AFTER EMERGENCY

OPERATION:

Afterany emergency situation it is the responsibility

of the operator to make sure the aerial lift is repaired
and adjusted by the service department before it is
used again.

If an equipment defect is suspected, do not allow

anyone to operate the aerial lift or enter the platform.

Ifthe bleeder ports are used they must be retightened

and the hydraulic reservoir must be refilled. The
aerial lift must then be operated, from the lower
controls, through itsfull range of motionseveral times.
Check the hydraulic oil reservoir level and refill if
necessary.

the extension system. COVERS - Inspect all covers to make sure they are in
place, secure, and in good condition.
LEVELING SYSTEM - Inspect the master cylinder,
slave cylinder, hoses, and fittings for damage, wear,
or foreign objects which may prevent proper
operation. Refer to Parts &Assemblies Section of
the Service Manual for these components. Also
inspect the protective fiberglass covers, on each side
of the slave cylinder, for cracks or damage. Ifthese
conditions exist they must be repaired by qualified
personnel before operation.

DECALS- Identification, operational,and instructional

decals are installed at numerous locations on the
Versalift. These decals must be replaced if they
become lost, damaged, or illegible. Refer to the
"Decal Placement" illustration in this section.

ROPE - Make a thorough check of the winch rope for

abrasive wear, pulled strands, cuts, and other
defects. The rope should be clean and dry. The rope
coils should spool evenly on the winch reel. Do not
use a rope that has been subjected to shock loads.
Replace the winch rope at the first sign of damage or
deterioration. Use only non-conductive rope of the
size and type specified.

WINCH - Verify that the rope coils are spooling

evenly. Check for hydraulic leaks as well as leaks
from the winch drive gearbox.

FIBERGLASS BOOMS - Inspect the fiberglass

upper boom and the lower boom foran accumulation
of dirt that can impair the insulating value of the
fiberglass. The fiberglass outer surface of the
booms should be cleaned daily with a lint free cloth.
If the fiberglass sections require a more thorough
cleaning. Refer to Service Procedures Section,
"Care of Fiberglass Booms", of the Service and
Installation Manual. Check for any structural
damage in the fiberglass, such as cracks or gouges.
If these conditions exist, they must be repaired by
qualified personnel.

PLATFORM - Inspect the platform for cracks in the

mounting ribs, floor, and flange around the top. If
