Installation of a Personnel Work Platform (PWP)
WARNING The PWP must meet ANSI/ITSDF B56.6-2016, Section 8.24. (See page 24 in the Safety chapter for PWP design requirements.) If the PWP being used does not offer means to secure the PWP to the forks and to secure the forks from pivoting, as shown in steps 2 and 3, then an alternate method must be used.
WARNING The machine must not be used to lift or carry personnel, or be fitted with any form of personnel work platform unless fitted with the optional PWP System. If fitted with the PWP System, the Mandatory Work Platform Safety Rules (p. 22) must be followed to at all times while lifting personnel. 1.
