ORK MODE
- Before moving and using the machine, remove the turret lock 14 (see Fig. A).
- The platform has two distinct movement modes: Transport mode (Fig. D) and Work mode (Fig.
E) (forward direction (Fig. C).
- Transport mode : the lifting platform’s arms are in the low position and the pendular unit may
be raised to the fullest extent (Fig. D). This mode enables you to move at high speed and to go
beyond the machine’s tilt limit (See the CHARACTERISTICS section).
- Work mode : the lifting platform’s arms are raised and/or the telescope is extended. In this
mode, translations are made at slow speed and the tilt and overload safety systems are
activated (Fig. E).
NB: You must use ramp speed (full power – speed restricted to 2 km/h) to cross a steep slope or move
over very broken ground. This can prove very useful when, for example, you must borrow an
access ramp to load the lifting platform onto a truck’s flatbed.
In Work mode, all movement over broken ground, unstable ground and slopes
over the authorised tilt limit (see the CHARACTERISTICS section), which are likely
to cause the platform to overturn or become unbalanced, are PROHIBITED.
The turret must be in the platform’s axis during translations in Fast Speed (Hare) mode.
Before driving the platform, ensure that turret is correctly oriented with respect to
the chassis, i.e. in the translation direction (black and white arrows).
When crossing a steep slow, there must be no load in the basket.
