SAFETY NOTICE
- Never leave the ignition key in the platform during the operator's absence.
- Make sure that the platform is not stopped in any position that will interfere with the traffic flow and at less than one
meter from the track of a railway.

level of antifreeze), close and lock all the platform accesses (cowls…).
INSTRUCTIONS
PLATFORMS WITH IC ENGINES
- Before stopping the platform after a long working period, leave the I.C. engine idling for a few moments, to allow the
coolant liquid and oil to lower the temperature of the I.C. engine and transmission
Do not forget this precaution, in the event of frequent stops or warm stalling of the I.C. engine,
or else the temperature of certain parts will rise significantly due to the stopping of the cooling system, with the risk of
badly damaging such parts.
- Stop the I.C. engine with the ignition switch.
- Remove the ignition key.
- Check that all the accesses on the platform are closed and locked (cowls…).
ELECTRIC PLATFORMS
- Remove the ground/platform control selection key.
- Check that all the accesses on the platform are closed and locked (cowls…).
- Set the battery cut-out to the OFF position (ELECTRIC PLATFORM).
