PREPARATION AND INSPECTION
2.1 PERSONNEL TRAINING
The aerial platform is a personnel transport device.
Therefore, it is to be used and maintained exclusively by trained and
qualified personnel. Use of the machine is not permitted by persons

Operator training must include what follows:
1. Use and limits of the commands from the platform, from the
ground and emergency commands as well as safety systems.
2. Command and control signage, instructions and warnings at-
tached to the machine.
3. Regulations defined by the employer and by government regu-
lation.
4. Use of the approved anti - fall protection device, when needed.
5. Sufficient knowledge of the mechanical function of the ma-
chine to recognise a true or potential malfunction or break-
down.
6. Safe methods for the use of the machine when encountering
super - elevated obstacles, other equipment or obstacles in
movement, dips, holes and inclined descents.
7. Methods for the avoidance of hazards from unprotected elec-
trical conductors.
8. Requirements for a particular job or a particular application of
the machine.
Training supervision
Training must be given under the supervision of a qualified person, in
an open area, free of obstacles. It must continue until the trainee is
capable of using the machine safely.
Operator responsibility
The operator must be instructed regarding the responsibility and the
authority to turn off the machine in case of malfunction or breakdown or
in the presence of other unsafe conditions, relative to both the machine
and the workplace.
NOTE: The manufacturer or the distributor must make qualified person-
nel available for training both at the time of delivery of
the first units and afterwards, if requested by the end user

2.2 PREPARATION INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
BRAVIISOL provides information relative to machine inspection, indicated in
the following table 2.3.
For further information regarding the aerial work platforms, consult local
regulations.
The frequency of inspections and maintenance procedures must increase
according to necessity: when the machine is used under adverse environ-
mental conditions, with greater frequency or for difficult or particularly de-
manding jobs.
2.3 PRELIMINARY INSPECTIONS BEFORE START UP
The inspection prior to use includes the following operations:
1. Cleaning – Verify and check for any eventual leaks (oil, hydraulic fluid or
battery acid) or for foreign objects on any of the surfaces.
Warn maintenance personnel of any apparent leaks.
2. Signs and adhesive stickers – Check and verify that these are all clean
and legible.
Check that no sign or adhesive sticker is missing.
Make sure that any sign or adhesive sticker that is not legible is cleaned
or substituted. (See "Application of the adhesive stickers" in Section 3) .
3. Use and safety manuals – make sure that the following manuals are
present in the weather resistant compartment (PIC. 2.A):
Use and Safety Manual,
4. Outline of complete daily inspection – (See Section 2.4).
5. Battery – Charge as needed (See Section 3.5).
6. Hydraulic oil – The level of the hydraulic oil in the reservoir can vary
according to the temperature of the oil. That is, in a cold machine, it is pos-
sible that the Oil level will not reach the FULL mark on the dip stick.
Lift and lower the elevator several times to obtain a more precise reading of
the level on the dip stick.
When the hydraulic oil is heated up, verify the reading on the dip stick,
which should indicate a level equal or near the FULL mark.
•
DO NOT FILL BEYOND THE FULL MARK.
•
ALWAYS TOP UP the oil if its level is below the mark - ADD.
