5. OPERATION
An access platform is destined for lifting of persons and their equipment only. It is not allowed to use
an access platform as a crane.
It is the operator’s responsibility to understand and follow all operating and safety
instructions.
1. Set key in the ignition key switch and select lower controls or platform controls. The access
platform can only be controlled at one position only.
2. If using electric motor connect 230 V cable.
3. Unplug motor heater cable (option) if it is plugged.
4. Make sure that the booms are down in transport position. If necessary, lower the booms.
When the ignition key is turned, the access platform will perform a test sequence for the
indicator lights in both control positions. This test sequence is also performed after the
emergency stop button is released back up.
5.1 Starting the combustion engine / electric motor
Read carefully this Operators Manual and the Operators Manual for the engine before starting
operation. Read and understand all safety instructions before starting operation.
5.1.1 Combustion engine
1. Choose preferred control position (lower controls or platform controls)
2. Press combustion engine start button, the button does not need to be held down.
3. Combustion engine red glow light will be lit and the engine will glow the required time and start
automatically.
4. Press start/stop button again to stop the engine.
The access platform will automatically determine proper glow time (2-20 s) depending on the outdoor
temperature. In case longer glow time is wanted, keep the combustion engine start button pushed
down and release after suitable time (max. 20 s). The combustion engine will start automatically even
if the start button isn’t released after 20 seconds.
The access platform is equipped with auto glow function which activates when the user enters the
platform. The red indication light for glow will blink when the auto glow is active. The combustion
engine start button may be pushed and the red glow light will stay on and the engine will start after the
required glowing is done.
In case the engine will not start on the first try, push the start button again.
Note! Do not use the emergency stop to stop the engine. Stop the engine with engine
start/stop button.
