Fall Protection Notice
The guardrail system around the perimeter of the platform is the fall protection system for self-propelled
elevating work platforms per the American National Standards Institute ANSI/SIA A92.6 Standard. It is
prohibited to use an Aerial Work Platform manufactured by Custom Equipment, Inc. 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. However, if anchorage points for lanyard attachments are required by site authorities, or other
regulations, the anchorage points on all equipment manufactured by Custom Equipment, Inc. 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.
WARNING
USE OF FALL ARREST SYSTEMS ATTACHED
TO ANCHORAGE POINTS ON EQUIPMENT
MAY CAUSE MACHINE TO TIP, RESULTING IN
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
