Lower on groundcontrols as detailed under section 4.3 Ground control operation.5.3 IN THE EVENT OF MACHINE FAILUREOperate manual hand pump (located adjacent to the base controls) and lower basket to the groundusing either basket or base controls. If initial movement of the machine allows the master alarm toreset, normal controls will be available. This is then the fastest method of lowering the basket to theground.Note: If the machine is fitted with a basket overload system, and the basket comes into contactwith a fixed object whilst operating at height, this would be detected as an overload condition. Allpower to the machine controls would be lost, requiring the machine to be recovered using theManual Hand Pump. It is sufficient for the basket to be manoeuvred away from the collision pointto release the basket weigh system, thereby restoring normal machine operation. The basket couldthen be brought down using the controls as described previously.FOLLOWING AN EMERGENCY DESCENT RECOVERY OF THE BASKET,FULLY EXTEND AND RETRACT ALL CYLINDERS FROM GROUND CONTROLSTATION BEFORE USING THE MACHINE.5.4 INCIDENT NOTIFICATIONIt is a mandatory requirement that any accident or incident involving a Niftylift, regardless ofwhether any party received injury or property was damaged, be reported by telephone directly toNiftylift.
