§5.2 - General safety instructions
In order to ensure his own safety, the safety of the
wheelchair occupant and occasional bystanders, the
operator should comply with all safety instructions in
chapter 5 while operating the lift.
The operator should use appropriate working clothes. Never
wear loose-fitting clothes that may be trapped in the moving
parts of the lift. Always wear safe footwear with steel protection
tips and protective gloves. [fig. 5.2.1]
Prior to opening the vehicle doors, check if the lift can be used
safely. Take precautions to guarantee your own safety, the
safety of the platform occupants, and the safety of occasional
bystanders and third parties in traffic.
Clear the working area of any objects that could potentially
impede the movements of the lift.
Make sure the platform is visible from all approach directions
(flashing lights, platform flags, traffic cones, etc...), and that the
working area is sufficiently illuminated.
The vehicle must be safely parked with the hand brake on, and
the engine must be switched off. Only use the lift if the vehicle
is parked on level ground. It is dangerous to use the lift when
the vehicle is parked on a slope. [fig. 5.2.2]. Lock the vehicle
doors, and fasten all other moving parts of the vehicle body.
Ensure that the vehicle cannot tip-over when putting heavy
weights on the platform.
