7.2.14. Functional control of the microswitches M1
The lifting booms are controlled by micro switches:

M1A on the first arm (pantograph);

M1B on Second Arm;

M1C on the Jib.

M1E on the telescopic boom (OPTIONAL for A16 J – STANDARD for A18 J).
The working conditions of the micro switches M1 must be checked once a year.
The functions of the microswitches M1A- M1B- M1E are the following: with the platform not in rest position (at least one
of the microswitches M1A-M1B-M1E must be activated):
 The safety drive speed is automatically activated.
 The lifting and drive controls are disabled when the chassis is inclined more than the max. allowed inclination.

The adjustment control for platform levelling is disabled.

With the platform overloaded, ALL operations will be disabled until removal of the overload.
The following functions of the microswitch M1C of the Jib are designed to support loading/unloading from the ramps of a
vehicle. with the booms in the rest position (microswitches M1A-M1B-M1E not activated), and jib inclined by more than
+10° against the plane (M1C activated):

The first speed is automatically enabled;

If the inclination of the chassis exceeds the max. one, the only active controls are jib lifting and drive.
7.2.15. Dead-man safety system, functional check
The platform deadman pedal enables the controls of the machine on the control panel installed on the basket.
Perform a functional control at least once a year.
To check the dead-man PEDAL:

Move the drive joystick forward and backward in sequence, WITHOUT PRESSING THE dead-man PEDAL.

make sure that the machine does not perform any movement.

Hold the DEADMAN pedal down for more than 10 seconds.
 With the pedal pressed, move the joystick forward and backward in sequence.
 Make sure that the machine does not perform any movement.
If this safety works properly, no machine movement is possible on the control panel on the basket unless you press the
dead-man pedal beforehand. If this is pressed for more than 10 seconds and no operation is performed, all movements
are disabled; to operate the machine again, release the dead-man pedal and press it again.
The condition of the switch is indicated by the green led in the platform:

green led lit up steady function enabled

green led lit up flashing position disabled
