NSTALLATION ON THE WORK SITE AND LIFTING
- The lifting platform has been designed to work on a flat, horizontal surface; it is important to clear the space in which the lifting platform
will be working.
- Bring the lifting platform to the work site.
- If necessary, load the equipment to be carried (stack so as not to inconvenience the operator and prevent anything falling).
- Climb into the lifting platform.
Wearing a safety helmet and a harness is compulsory.
- Press the “Dead Man’s” pedal and start to manoeuvre to position yourself in the work area.
NB : When the lifting platform is free of the chassis, translation switches automatically to slow speed.
Only the pendular arm can be raised completely while maintaining Transport speed.
When manoeuvring the lifting platform (lifting, rotation...), look around and above you. Pay particular attention to the
electric cables and any items that may be in the lifting platform’s operating space.
Familiarise yourself with the instruments on the ground maintenance and emergency station and in the basket, described
in the previous pages and in particular the warnings specifying the risks involved in performing certain manoeuvres.
S
AFETY SYSTEMS
- When the lifting platform is overloaded, the buzzer sounds continuously and all movements are blocked.
• Solution : unburden the basket.
L
OWERING
- When the work is complete: retract the telescope and lower the arms to bring the lifting platform back to Transport position.
Pay attention to the people on the ground when you are descending.
S
TOPPING THE LIFTING PLATFORM
- When the lifting platform is not being used, cut off the electrical power supply by setting the ignition key to the Neutral position (see
1 – Ignition).
