INTRODUCTION
This Use and Maintenance Manual provides general instructions concerning the complete range of units indicated on the
cover. Therefore the description of their components, as well as control and safety systems, may include parts not present on
your unit since supplied on request or not available. In order to keep pace with the technical development
AIRO-Tigieffe s.r.l.
reserves the right to modify the product and/or the use and maintenance manual at any time without updating the units
already delivered.
1.1
Legal aspects
1.1.1
Delivery of the unit
Within EU (European Union) member countries the machine is delivered complete with:
-
Use and Maintenance manual in your language;
-
CE mark applied on the unit;
-
CE conformity declaration.
It is to be noted that the Use and Maintenance Manual is an integral part of the machine and a copy of this, together with
copies of the documents certifying that the periodical checks have been carried out, must be kept on board in its suitable
container. In the event of a transfer of property the machine must always be provided with its use and maintenance manual.
1.1.2
Declaration of commissioning, periodical checks and transfers of ownership
The legal obligations of the owner of the machine vary according to the country of commissioning. It is therefore
recommended to inquiry about the procedures in force in your country from the boards responsible for industrial safety. This
manual contains a final section called "Check register" for a better filing of documents and recording of any modifications.
1.1.2.1
Declaration of commissioning
In ITALY the owner of the Aerial Platform must notify the use of the unit to the local competent ISPESL (National Institute for
the prevention of accidents at the workplace). To declare the commissioning of the unit in Italy, send the form that is supplied
together with other documents upon machine delivery, by registered letter
with advice of receipt
.
ISPESL will assign a Serial Number and depending on their staff availability will issue a "Check booklet" indicating only the
detectable data of the machine already in use or inferable from the relative User Manual. Afterwards ISPESL sends a copy of
the same booklet to the territorial inspection boards (ASL/USL or ARPA) which carry out the periodical mandatory checks
(every year).
1.1.2.2
Periodical checks
The annual checks are compulsory and must be carried out also when the "Check booklet" is not available. In Italy the owner
of the Aerial Platform must apply for a periodical check by sending a registered letter to the local competent inspection board
(ASL/USL or ARPA) at least twenty days before the expiry of the year from the purchase date or the last periodical check.
NB: If a machine without a valid control document should be moved in an area outside the competence of the usual inspection
board, the owner of the machine must ask the inspection board, competent for the new territory where the machine is to be
used, for the annual check.
