9.3. CONTROL POSITION
9.3.1. Control position in the basket
The aerial work platform has been designed to be controlled by the operator in
the basket using a remote control, where all of the machine functional controls are
gathered, positioned in the relevant support inside the basket. A pedal (optional)
is also present in the basket in order to allow the movement of the aerial part.
From this control position it is possible to control the extendible structure and
machine stabilisation. When the machine is manoeuvred from the control posi ‐
tion in the basket, the remote control must be positioned in the appropriate seat,
and the foot switch must be activated (the foot switch must be release and activa ‐
ted again if no movements are made for more than 7 second). The remote control
is connected to the machine using a flexible cable that allows
to shift it if the basket is to be removed or the ground control unit is to be used.
Stabilisation of the machine must be preferably controlled from the basket dri ‐
ve position. Machine traversing must be carried out from the control position
on the ground.
9.3.2. Control position at the ground
There is a second control position available for the tracked part of the machine.
This is not in a fixed position but rather can be located on the ground within a ra ‐
dius of 2.5 m from the basket attachment. To control the machine from this posi ‐
After accessing or leaving the control position in the basket,
ALWAYS remember to close the ladder, to avoid any damage when
operating the machine.
