USING THE MAINS VOLTAGE IN THE PLATFORM
Connect the mains voltage 220V / 50Hz 16A to the outlet in the toolbox. In the platform,
here are two grounded outlets for hand tools. The mains circuit is equipped with a ground
fault interrupter (in the tool box) and a slip ring unit (inside the turntable). The ground fault
interrupter has a test button for checking the circuit before use. The ground fault interrupter
has also a mains voltage switch-off facility.
TESTING THE GROUND FAULT INTERRUPTER
Connect a tool, for instance a hand drill, to the platform outlet. Connect the Access
Platform to the mains voltage using the cable, which can be found in the tool box. Press
the test button of the ground fault interrupter. The mains switch-off (acting as an automatic
fuse) should be triggered. If the mains switch-off is not triggered, and the tool has not been
activated in the platform, check that the mains switch is in the supply position.

PRECAUTIONS
USE OF THE BOOM IN COLD WEATHER
Do not stop the engine when working in cold conditions ((–5°C or below), even if you are
going to work in the same location for a long time. This will keep the hydraulics and the
engine warm.
Check the safety limit switches for snow, ice and dirt.
Check the control valves for proper operation and for snow and ice. Clean as required. In
extremely low temperatures, at first let the engine run for a few minutes; then warm up the
hydraulic system by lifting the Access Platform on the outriggers and then driving at low
and high speeds performing steering movements to both directions.
Protect the control valves and the platform against snow and ice when not in use.
Note! Do not use the Access Platform in temperatures below –25C°.
