 SAFETY RULES AND PRECAUTIONS
• MEC designs self-propelled scissor lifts to be safe and reliable. They are intended to posi-
tion personnel, along with their necessary tools and materials to overhead work locations.
• The owner/user/operator of the machine should not accept responsibility for the operation
of the machine, unless properly trained.
• ANSI A92.6 and other applicable standards identify requirements of all parties who may
be involved with self-propelled elevating work platforms. The A92.6 Manual of Responsibili-
ties is considered a part of this machine and can be found in the manual compartment,
located at the platform control station.
To insure safe use of machine, inspections specified in Section 6.7 of ANSI A92.6-2006 must
be performed at designated intervals as prescribed by ANSI A92.6-2006.

• ELECTROCUTION HAZARD!!! THIS MACHINE IS NOT INSULATED!!

• Maintain safe clearance from electrically charged conductors (power lines) and apparatus.
You must allow for machine sway (side to side movement) when elevated and electrical
line movement. This machine does not provide protection from contact with, or proximity
to, an electrically charged conductor.
• You must maintain a CLEARANCE OF AT LEAST 10 FEET (3.05 m) between any part of
the machine, or its load, and any electrical line or apparatus carrying over 300 volts up to
50,000 volts. One foot (30.5 cm) additional clearance is required for every additional
30,000 volts.
• DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY will result from contact with or inadequate clearance from
any electrically charged conductor.
• Observe Minimum Safe Approach Distance as illustrated on next page.

 SAFETY SYMBOLS
This section of the manual contains important information of the safe use of your MEC Scissors.
Failure to read, understand, and follow all safety rules, warnings, and instructions will unneces-
sarily expose you and others to dangerous situations. For your safety and the safety of those
around you, you must operate your machine as instructed in this manual.

You, the operator, are the single most important factor for safety when using any piece of equip-
ment. Learn to operate your machine in a safe manner.

To help you recognize important safety information, we have identified warnings and instructions
that directly impact on safety with the following signals:

“DANGER” INDICATES AN IMMINENTLY HAZARDOUS SITUATION

WHICH, IF NOT AVOIDED, WILL RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS
INJURY. THIS SIGNAL WORD IS LIMITED TO THE MOST EXTREME
SITUATIONS.

“WARNING” INDICATES A POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS SITUATION

WHICH, IF NOT AVOIDED, COULD RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS
INJURY.

“CAUTION” indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not

avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury. It may also be used to
alert against unsafe practices. “CAUTION” is used for property-damage
only accidents.

April 2007 1532ES - 1932ES / 2033ES - 2633ES / 2047ES - 2647ES - 3247ES Operator’s Manual: ANSI Specification
• Only authorized, trained and qualified personnel should operate the scissor lift.
• NEVER fasten fall protection lanyard to an adjacent structure while on the platform.
• Make sure that the platform entry is properly closed and secure before operating machine
from the platform.
• NEVER exceed platform rated capacity. Review the section titled “Machine Specifications”
(earlier in this manual) regarding model capacities and dimensions.
• Before operating the machine, read and understand all safety and control information
found on the machine and in this manual.
• When operating the machine follow all safety and control information found on the ma-
chine and in this manual.
• Evenly distribute loads placed on the platform.
• NEVER use scaffolding, ladders or similar items to extend your reach while on the plat-
form.
• NEVER climb down the beam assembly while the platform is raised.
• The “Moving the Machine” section (described later in this manual) requires that the brake
be released. After performing this procedure, there is no means to stop the machine’s
travel. MEC recommends using this procedure only in cases of emergency, and only for a
short distance. Be on guard against machine runaway on sloping surfaces. Movement
speed shall not exceed 5 MPH (8.0 kph).
• NEVER attempt to open any hydraulic line or component without first relieving all system
pressure.
• NEVER alter, modify, or disable any safety devices or interlocks.
• NEVER recharge the battery near sparks or open flames. Lead-acid batteries generate
EXPLOSIVE HYDROGEN GAS. Always wear safety glasses.
• NEVER use the machine outdoors during electrical storms or in high wind situations.
• Only raise the platform when the machine is on a firm, level surface.
• SECURE all tools and other loose items to prevent injury to persons working on or below
the platform.
• Precautions should be taken to prevent unauthorized personnel from operating the plat-
form with the ground controls while the platform is in use.

1532ES - 1932ES / 2033ES - 2633ES / 2047ES - 2647ES - 3247ES Operator’s Manual: ANSI Specification April 2007
 • Unassisted loading or unloading of scissorlift from a truck or trailer is not recommended.
• Before disengaging brakes or disconnecting from a tow vehicle, ensure that the machine
cannot roll.
• Complete the “Operational Checklist” at designated intervals.

• Use of scissor lift as a crane to lift oversized or hanging loads is prohibited.

• Always check route and areas are clear before driving, lifting or lowering.
• It is recommended to avoid sudden braking or steering. Go slowly and leave more maneu-
vering room during cold weather operation.

FALL PROTECTION NOTICE

The Guardrail System around the perimeter of the platform is the fall protection system for
self-propelled elevating work platforms. It is prohibited to use an Aerial Work Platform manufac-
tured by MEC with any portion, or all, of the guardrails removed.

Lanyard anchorage points on this type of equipment are not required to conform to the applicable
ANSI/SIA Standard.

THE IMPROPER USE OF FALL ARREST SYSTEMS MAY CAUSE

MACHINE TO TIP RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

However, if anchorage points for lanyard attachments are required by site authorities or other
regulations, the anchorage points on all equipment manufactured by MEC are recommended to
be used for work positioning restraints of personnel only. Lanyard lengths are to be determined
by operator/owner to restrict the operator to the confines within the Guardrail System.

 GENERAL MAINTENANCE TIPS
Regular inspection and conscientious maintenance is the key to efficient economical operation of
your scissor lift. It will help to assure that your equipment will perform satisfactorily with a mini-
mum of service and repair.

The actual operating environment of the machine governs the inspection schedule. Correct lubri-
cation is an essential part of the preventative maintenance to minimize wear on working parts
and ensure against premature failure. By maintaining correct lubrication, the possibility of me-
chanical failure and resulting downtime is reduced to a minimum.

NEVER PERFORM SERVICE ON THE MACHINE (WITH THE

PLATFORM ELEVATED) WITHOUT FIRST BLOCKING THE BEAMS
(SCISSORS) ASSEMBLY IN PLACE USING THE MAINTENANCE
LOCK!

• Block scissors assembly using Maintenance Lock if machine is in the elevated/extended

position.
• Never leave hydraulic components or hoses open. They must be protected from contami-
nation (including rain) at all times.
• Never open a hydraulic system when there are contaminants in the air.
• Always clean the surrounding area before opening hydraulic systems.
• Use only recommended lubricants. Improper lubricants or incompatible lubricants may be
as harmful as no lubrication.
• Watch for makeshift “fixes” which can jeopardize safety as well as lead to more costly
repair.
