7.2.11. Checking the efficiency of the inclinometer
CAUTION!
Usually the inclinometer does not need to be adjusted unless the electronic control unit has been
replaced. The equipment needed for the replacement and adjustment of this component requires
skilled personnel.
THIS OPERATION IS A CRUCIAL MAINTENANCE TASK AND SHOULD BE STRICTLY CARRIED
OUT BY SPECIALIZED TECHNICIANS.
The inclinometer does not require any adjustment since it
is calibrated in the factory before the machine is delivered.
The inclinometer controls the chassis inclination and if the
latter exceeds the maximum admissible slope:
 Stops platform ascent.
 Disables travel with the platform raised above a given
height (depending on the model).
 Sets off an acoustic alarm and a pilot light (on the
platform) to warn the operator that the machine is not
standing safe (see “General Use and Operation”).
The inclinometer monitors the inclination of the chassis
against two axes (X; Y). On machine models that have the
same lateral and longitudinal inclination limits, the control
is carried out against one axis only (X-axis).
Perform a functional control of the inclinometer at least
once a year.
To check the inclinometer operation against the
longitudinal axis (generally the X-axis ):
 Use the control panel on the platform to place a n
(A+10 mm) thick shim under the front and rear wheels
(see table below).
 Wait three seconds (lag time set at factory) till the red
pilot light and the acoustic alarm on the platform go
off. With the platform DOWN (booms down, telescopic
boom in and jib between +10° and –70°) all
manoeuvres are still possible. By lifting one of the
booms (excepting the Jib) and/or extending the
telescopic boom, the control system of the machine
disables all lifting and drive controls.

If no alarm is triggered ASK FOR TECHNICAL
SERVICE.
To check the inclinometer against the lateral axis
(normally Y-axis ):

 Use the control panel on the platform to place a (B+10 mm) thick shim under the two out-wheels on right or on the
left wheels (see table below).
