TRANSPORT
- See Section 2: LOADING / UNLOADING THE LIFTING PLATFORM
G5 - FREEWHEELING MODE
ACTIVATION
In the event that the lifting platform must be towed, follow the instructions below.
The lifting platform may only be towed a short distance and necessarily by a machine with
significant braking power in order to hold it and with a connection bar between the two
machines.
1 - Wedge the lifting platform in place.
2 – Hydrostatic declutching
Warning: before performing this operation, take the necessary precautions because the
machine will no longer have any brakes.
- Lift the engine cover.
- Screw in the hydrostatic pump’s HP restrictors 1 (Fig. G5/1) to the sticking point + a turn and
a half.
3 - Mechanical declutching of the front and rear axles
- Unscrew the four lock nuts at ref. 2 (Fig. G5/2 & Fig. G5/3) on each axle (front and rear).
- Screw in the screws 2 (Fig. G5/3) up to the mechanical stop, following the pre-defined tightening
order: tighten screw 2A a quarter turn and then tighten screw 2B a quarter turn (and so on up
to the mechanical stop). Perform the same operation on screws. 2C - 2D.
Do not forcibly tighten the screws at the mechanical stop.
Failure to follow this progressive alternating procedure may damage the axle.
Warning: after this operation, remember to remove the mechanical brake release. Follow the
pre-defined loosening order: loosen screw 2A a quarter turn and then loosen screw 2 B a quarter
turn (and so on). Perform the same operation on screws 2C - 2D.
4 - Testing the axle brake
- Check the braking system by disconnecting the coil 3 (Fig. G5/4) from the hydraulic block on
the chassis (to access the block, remove the casing on the right side of the chassis)
- Perform a translation movement.
The lifting platform must not move forward.
- After the test, reconnect the coil.
