2.7 Operating modes
The KOALA LP is designed for manual operation. It therefore requires the operator to perform simple
lifting, lowering and stopping operations using the appropriate button panel.
Operating conditions which could compromise the safety of the LP’s operators are not foreseen nor
expected.
2.8 Safety devices
The KOALA LP is designed and manufactured in compliance with the current applicable European
Directives and in accordance with the legal regulations deriving from them. The personnel assigned to
operating the machine are advised to work in compliance with the prescribed methods and with particular
care with regards to their individual responsibilities.
In the event that any situations should arise which are not foreseen by this manual, it is recommended to
contact GLOBALJIG’s Technical Assistance Service before proceeding. Should this recommendation not
be observed, GLOBALJIG will decline any responsibility for any unforeseeable improper use of the
machine. The topics regarding the safety devices and relative regulations are discussed in detail in chapter
6.
! DANGER ! ! !
GLOBALJIG recommends that the individual activities be performed by one
operator alone, in order to avoid simultaneously exposing more than one operator to the relative risks.
2.9 Operating indications and instructions
The electro-hydraulic control unit is furnished with a data plate (illustrated in fig. 2.3) which summarises the
most important operating instructions regarding the conduct to be observed by the operator when using the
LP itself.
