C - MAINTENANCE
- The operator must immediately advise his superior if his platform is not in good working order or does not comply with
the safety notice.
- the operator is prohibited from carrying out any repairs or adjustements himself, unless he has been trained for this
purpose. He must keep the platform properly cleaned if this is among his responsibilities.
- The operator must carry out daily maintenance (see : 3 - MAINTENANCE : A - DAILY OR EVERY 10 HOURS
SERVICE).
- The operator must ensure tyres are adapted to the nature of the ground (see area of the contact surface of the tyres in
the chapter : 2 - DESCRIPTION : CHARACTERISTICS). There are optional solutions, consult your dealer.
Do not use the platform if the tyres are damaged or excessively worn, because this could put your own safety or that of others
at risk, or cause damage to the platform itself.
- In the case of electric platforms, the operator must ensure that:
. The batteries are not replaced with lighter ones (Compromising stability).
. Safety goggles are always worn when charging the batteries.
. The batteries are not charged in an explosive environment.
. There is no smoking and no naked flame directed towards the batteries whe they are being handled
(during removal, re-installation and checking the levels).
D - MODIFYING THE PLATFORM
- For your safety and that of others, you must not change the structure and settings of the various components used in
your platform yourself:
. hydraulic pressure,
. calibrating limiters,
. I.C. engine speed,
. addition of extra equipment,
. addition of counterweight,
. unapproved attachements,
. alarm systems, etc...
In this event, the manufacturer cannot be held reponsible.
E - PLATFORM AXLES
- Non-oscillating axles:
The chassis is rigid, so the platform can have a ground reach on only three wheels.
- At least one oscillating axle:
An oscillating axle enables the platform, when in transport position, to have a ground reach on four wheels.
When moving in working position over uneven terrain, the oscillating axle is locked (the chassis is rigid)
so the platform can have a ground reach on only three wheels.
