NLOADING THE PLATFORM
Check that the safety instructions for the transporting truck’s flatbed are being
correctly applied before loading the lifting platform and ensure that the vehicle’s
driver is aware of the lifting platform’s dimensions and weight characteristics
(See the CHARACTERISTICS section).
- When being loaded on a flatbed, the lifting platform must be in transport position:
• Arms in the low position
• Pendular unit telescope retracted
• Telescope retracted
• The pendular unit can be raised so that it does not touch the ground but it is inadvisable
to make a translation movement with the basket raised excessively; keep this in the
lowest possible position during the manoeuvres: there is a risk of falls or impacts (see
section 1 – Safety instructions and advice - § driving instructions).
• Lock the lifting platform’s turret rotation using the pin 14 (Fig. A).
• Use “Ramp” speed
Ensure that the transporting truck’s flatbed is large enough and has a sufficient
load capacity to transport the lifting platform. Also check the flatbed’s permissible
ground contact pressure with respect to the lifting platform.
There is a risk of the platform losing grip (slipping or skidding) when going up or
down the loading ramps when these are wet, muddy or have damp patches. To
counter this, stability must be ensured with a hoist attached to the machine’s
attachment points.

OADING
- Fit the loading ramps to the truck’s flatbed so that there is the shallowest possible angle for
loading the platform (Fig. B).
- Chock the flatbed’s wheels 49 (Fig. B).
Carefully adjust the platform’s translation speed by controlling the speed with the
translation joystick.
