•
Check the operation of the anti-shearing device; this can be done by lifting
the platform to a height that involves an angle of the scissor frames greater
than 12° with respect to the horizontal and make sure that the descent
movement stops automatically at a scissor angle between 7° and 9° (the
vertical distance between the ends of the scissors must be greater than
50mm). Further downward movements are possible only after a 3s delay at
reduced speed.
Note: The platform is fitted with a
“
crush-preventing
”
system (ref. Point
5.4.4 EN 280), which gets enabled when the platform lowers and temporarily
blocks it to allow the operator to make sure there are no bystanders near the
machine.
•
Check the operation of the travel function with the platform lifted; this test
is performed by lifting the platform to a height that involves an angle of the
scissor frames of 23° with respect to the horizontal (maximum height of
transit area 4.5mt) and make sure that it is possible to travel with the
machine only at reduced speed (light indicator 2 flashing ). Also make
sure that at greater heights the light indicator (2) turns off and that it is not
allowed to move.
•
Check that with the platform lifted higher than the transport height but
lower than the maximum travel height (light 2 on) and moving on non-level
terrain, the machine stops automatically when the inclination of the frame
with respect to the horizontal exceeds 1°. Release the travel control; when
this control is operated again or when the lifting control is operated, the
system must bring the frame back to the horizontal position automatically.
After the levelling, the machine will perform the selected movement.
•
Lift the platform to a height greater than the transport height, check that
the manual levelling functions are not allowed.
•
Operate the emergency button on the remote control (or radio control);
make sure that the engine turns off (both the internal combustion engine and
the electrical engine) and that no functions are allowed. Release the
mushroom-shaped button after this test.
•
Operate the ground movement emergency button; make sure that the engine
turns off (both the internal combustion engine and the electrical engine) and
