4.3.2. Unloading with ramps.
Precautions: ensure that:
•
platform is fully stowed,
•
ramps can withstand load,
•
there is sufficient grip to prevent skidding during manoeuvres,
•
ramps are properly secured.
IMPORTANT: Because this method requires starting the machine, refer to § 4.3 to prevent any risk of false
manoeuvres. Select low travel speed.
NOTE: Because the ramp gradient almost always exceeds the maximum operating gradient (5°), the buzzer
sounds, but travel is possible. If the slope exceeds the maximum operating gradient during travel (see § 2.4),
also use a draw winch or retaining winch.
WARNING.
Do not drive down the ramps at high speed.
4.3.3. Loading.
Precautions are identical to those for unloading.
Stow and secure machine as per drawing picture 13.
Picture 13 : Loading secure
To drive up the truck ramps, select low travel speed.
4.3.4. Driving.
Carefully respect regulations or rules for driving in work areas.
If ground is uneven, assess work area before starting aerial work.
When travelling, always stay sufficiently away from unstable drop-offs and embankments.
Before manoeuvring or travelling, ensure there is no one in immediate vicinity of machine. Be particularly
vigilant when extension is out, since visibility is reduced.
Reminder: Driving on public roads is prohibited.
