SMALL BURNS, EXPLOSION AND FIRE RISKS
!
WARNING
Do not touch hot surfaces or high temperature oil; in case of oil leaks or sprays stop the
machine
!
WARNING
The batteries contain acid.
It is obligatory to wear clothes, gloves and eyewear when working on the batteries.
In the
event of accidental contact with the acid, immediately neutralize the area and rinse
thoroughly with water.
!
WARNING
Do not start the engine if you smell or if you detect liquefied petroleum gases (LPG), petrol,
diesel or other explosive substances.
Do not refuel the machine while the engine is running.
Only refuel and replace the battery in an open and well-ventilated area, far away from sparks,
flames and lit cigarettes.
Start the lorry engine only on a well-ventilated area and avoid any closed or underground
areas. Before operating the platform, check that nobody is in the range of action.
DANGER OF OVERTURNING
!
WARNING
Check the ground consistency before laying the stabilizers. The platform must be placed on
a surface that is flat, solid, compact and firm to guarantee stability.
Should you operate on ground that is not very firm, it is necessary to place suitable hard
wooden planks or steel plates of appropriate thickness under the stabilizer plates to increase
the surface area and, therefore, obtain a significant reduction of the specific pressure on the
ground.
!
WARNING
Check that there are no manholes, hollows or underground piping on the stabilizer laying
surface. They could make the ground sinking. The stabilizer distance from slopes or ditches
should be at least twice their depth.
!
WARNING
Do not place
the machine on slippery surfaces (ex. wet marble floors or ice…)
In the most difficult operating conditions for the platform, the max pressure exerted by a single stabilizer
plate is 2275 kg for the front stabilizers and 1752 kg for the rear stabilizers.
To prevent one or all the stabilizers from sinking, it is necessary to know the carrying capacity of the
ground.
The size of the support plate or of the special support bases is calculated with the following formula:
TOTAL PRESSURE / GROUND CARRYING CAPACITY = SUPPORT SURFACE AREA IN cm²
