TARTING THE PLATFORM
PLATFORMS WITH IC ENGINES
SAFETY NOTICE
- Do not pull or push the lifting platform to start it. This type of manoeuvre would cause severe damage to the transmission. In
cases of necessity, towing requires that the lifting platform be placed in freewheeling mode (See chapter 3 - MAINTENANCE).
- If using an emergency battery for start-up, use a battery with the same characteristics and respect battery polarity when connecting
it. Connect at first the positive terminals before the negative terminals.
Failure to respect polarity between batteries can cause serious damage to the electrical circuit. The electrolyte in
the battery may produce an explosive gas. Avoid flames and generation of sparks close to the batteries.
Never disconnect a battery while it is charging.
INSTRUCTIONS
- Check the closing and locking of the hood(s).
- Turn the ignition key to notch I to switch on the electrical power, which automatically starts the pre-heating system (all the bars
must be displayed), the message “OK” is displayed.
- Check that everything is operating correctly by ensuring that no fault pages are displayed on the screen and no warning about the
fuel level (a pump icon is present on the screen) (see chapter 2 - DESCRIPTION, CHECKING AND CONTROL INSTRUMENTS
pages).
- Turn the ignition key to notch II to start.
- Release the ignition key and let the engine run at tick-over speed.
- Do not engage the starter motor for more than 15 seconds and carry out the preheating for 10 seconds between unsuccessful
attempts.
- Check all control instruments when the I.C. engine is warm and at regular intervals during use, so as to quickly detect any faults
and to be able to correct them without any delay.
- If any faults are displayed on the screen, stop the engine and immediately take the necessary measures.
ELECTRIC PLATFORMS
SAFETY NOTICÉ
- Do not use the platform if the battery is discharged to the point that movements are slowed down. In certain cases, the platform
may stop (see chapter 3 - MAINTENANCE : EVERY DAY OR EVERY 10 HOURS FOR OPERATION pages, for the minimum
permissible charge level).
INSTRUCTIONS
- Set the battery cut-out to the ON position.
- Check the closing and locking of the hood(s).
- Turn the ignition key to the basket position.
- Check that everything is operating correctly by ensuring that no error messages are displayed on the screen and that the machine
maintenance light is not flashing (see chapter 2 - DESCRIPTION, CHECKING AND CONTROL INSTRUMENTS pages).
NB: For machines not fitted with a display or a maintenance warning light, faults can be identified from the light directly on the
variable speed drive unit (to access: open the cowl on the control size, remove the casing from the variable speed drive and see
whether the light is flashing).
- If any error messages are constantly displayed or the machine maintenance light is flashing, return the key to the neutral
position.
- Set the battery cut-off to the OFFposition.
- Immediately take the necessary measures.
