Safety Rules
Safety Precautions
Know and understand the safety precautions before going on to next section.
Fall Protection
All occupants of this aerial platform must wear
personal fall protection equipment.
As per the ANSI A92.5-2006 standard, “Principal
fall protection is provided by the guardrail system.
The user shall direct and monitor the operator to
ensure that all components of the guardrail system
are in place. The user shall direct and monitor
the occupants of the work platform to ensure that
they wear a personal fall arrest system to protect
against the potential effects of ejection or a fall
restraint system to prevent a free fall.”
Fall restraint and fall arrest systems are defined
within the ANSI A92.5 Manual of Responsibilities
shipped with this aerial platform.
Skyjack recommends the use of a fall restraint
system to keep an occupant within the confines
of the platform, and thus not expose the occupant
to any fall hazard requiring a fall arrest.
CSA B354.4-02 requires the use of a fall arrest
system, therefore Canadian users must use
personal fall arrest protection as opposed to fall
restraint.
All personal fall protection equipment must comply
with applicable governmental regulations and must
be inspected and used in accordance with the
manufacturer’s recommendations.
All personal fall protection equipment must be
attached only to approved anchorage points within
the platform of the aerial platform.
WARNING
Entering and exiting the aerial platform
should only be done using the three
points of contact.
• Use only equipped access openings.
• Enter and exit only when the aerial
platform is in the fully retracted position.
• Do use three points of contact to enter and exit
the platform. Enter and exit the platform from
the ground only. Face the aerial platform when
entering or exiting the platform.
• Three points of contact means that two hands
and one foot or one hand and two feet are in
contact with the aerial platform or the ground at
all times during entering and exiting.
WARNING
An operator should not use any aerial platform that:
•
does not appear to be working properly.
•
has been damaged or appears to have worn
or missing parts.
•
has alterations or modifications not approved
by the manufacturer.
•

This section provides the operator with the procedure
on how to refuel the engine with regular fuel and install
the propane cylinder.
IMPORTANT
Before using the aerial platform ensure
there is enough fuel to finish the job.
WARNING
Follow all local and national regulations
for propane handling.
WARNING
Failure to heed the following safety
precautions could result in death or
serious injury:
• Use extreme caution while refueling
aerial platforms.
• Ensure engine and all systems are
turned off before refueling.
• Refuel aerial platform only in a well
ventilated area away from open
flame and other sources of ignition,
authorized by your employer and
supervisor.
• Liquid propane gas fuel is a gas
that is heavier than air. It settles in
low spots. Any flame or spark could
cause a fire that could cause serious
injury.
• When changing liquid propane gas
cylinder, check all connections for
damage or missing parts. Never try
to start an aerial platform if you smell
gas.
• For gasoline engine models, use only
unleaded gasoline with an octane
rating 87 or higher.
WARNING
Do not smoke in an area where aerial
platforms are stored or refueled.
3.9-1
Regular Fuel
1.
Ensure engine and all systems are turned off and
emergency stop buttons are depressed.
2.

spillage occurs.
4.
Securely replace fuel cap.
5.
Ensure there are no leaks in the fuel system.
6.
Wipe up any spilled fuel.
7.
Dispose of rags in an approved container.
Protection of Environment from Chemical
Dangers
WARNING
Gasoline, diesel fuel, engine oil and
hydraulic fluid are chemicals, which can
contaminate the environment. If they
are spilled during filling and reach the
water, they can cause damage to the
environment, e.g., death of fish. For
such damage, the party responsible is
liable! Therefore, gasoline, diesel fuel,
engine oil or hydraulic fluid must not get
into the sewage system, streams, rivers
or other surface water. For that reason,
immediately remove the dripped off or
spilled gasoline, diesel fuel, engine oil
or hydraulic fluid with appropriate means
and dispose of these means according to
the regulations.

The LCP or OUP that an individual surface can withstand varies from structure to structure and is generally determined by the engineer or
architect for that particular structure.
OUP
LCP – Locally Concentrated Pressure – is a measure of how hard the aerial platform tire tread presses on the area in direct contact with the
floor. The floor covering (tile, carpet, etc.) must be able to withstand more than the indicated values above.
OUP – Overall Uniform Pressure – is a measure of the average load the aerial platform imparts on the whole surface projected directly
underneath it. The structure of the operating surface (beams, etc.) must be able to withstand more than the indicated values above.
Gross Aerial Platform Weight = Weight + platform capacity
