USE AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL - SECTION 4
ELEVAH 40 MOVE / 40 B AERIAL PLATFORM
– Rev. 12_2021
Page 4-10
HANDLING THE MACHINE (ELEVAH 40 B)
Once descended completely, the cage remains slightly off the ground to ensure that the free wheel
does not touch the ground, keeping the machine braked.
To move the machine, with the cage completely low, grasp the handles with your hands near the
grasping point and simultaneously press the “BRAKE” and “DEAD MAN” buttons, located one on
each handle.
With the buttons pressed simultaneously, the machine will fully lower the cage, allowing the free
wheel to touch the ground, and disengage the brake so that it will be possible to move it to the
workplace.
Release the buttons to bring the machine back to the braked condition with the cage slightly raised.
CAUTION
WITH THE OPERATOR ON THE GROUND, THE MACHINE MUST BE HANDLED WITH THE
POWER SUPPLY CONNECTED FOR THE PARKING SYSTEM TO FUNCTION CORRECTLY.
CAUTION
IF THE POWER SUPPLY IS DISCONNECTED WHILE THE "BRAKE" AND "DEAD MAN"
BUTTONS ARE PRESSED SIMULTANEOUSLY, THE MACHINE WILL BLOCK AND NOT BE
BRAKED.
TO RESTORE NORMAL MACHINE OPERATION, POWER IT AND PRESS THE “BRAKE” AND
“DEAD MAN” BUTTONS SIMULTANEOUSLY.
CAUTION
PROCEED DOWNWARD WITH CAUTION IF THE MACHINE MALFUNCTIONS DURING THE
CAGE DESCENT AND THIS DOES NOT BLOCK WHEN JUST OFF THE GROUND.
THIS TYPE OF MALFUNCTION DOES NOT INVOLVE ADDITIONAL RISKS TO THE
OPERATOR, THEREFORE THE OPERATOR IS REQUIRED TO VERIFY THAT THE DESCENT
TAKES PLACE CORRECTLY.
IF NOT, PAY ATTENTION, SET THE MACHINE OUT OF SERVICE AND REPORT THE
MALFUNCTION TO THE MANAGER.
