OVEMENT
The platform can be moved only from the control unit located in the platform.
The contactor (Ref.1, Fig. A) should be in position A (transfer of control to the platform).
The platform is able to move into any position. To move long distances however, it is best to put the platform into the
transportation mode (Fig. B) (with the arms fully folded (see note) and the mast retracted).
In the transportation position, you have:
- the safest working conditions, in terms of tilt and slope.
- the maximum speed in translation (level movement).
- the maximum power to the driven wheels.
NOTE: You can raise the mast by about 0.15 metres or raise the extension arm to the horizontal position, and still retain
maximum translation power (see pages 2 to 16). This may prove to be necessary in order to climb an access
ramp, as when loading the machine onto a flatbed truck.

NSTALLATION AND LIFTING
The platform is designed to work on flat, horizontal ground. It is important to clear enough space for the platform to work
in.
- Move the platform into its working area.
- If necessary, load the equipment to be carried. Store this so that it does not impede the user, and to prevent any falls.
- Climb into the platform platform.
