The cage floor must be kept clean, it must not be greasy and there must be no objects in it.
Do not lift the platform if it is secured to fix points! (Cables, ropes, etc.)
DANGER OF COLLISION
It is necessary to check that there are no people, animals or obstacles
inside the area before carrying out
the emergency manual lowering manoeuvre.
It is forbidden to throw objects and equipment from bottom to top and vice versa.
Do not operate the machine if there are cables, flexible wires, cables etc. dangling from the cage.
Before using the platform, check that the area in which the cage will operate does not contain pipes,
electrical conduits, lamps and any other obstacles that could cause dangerous situations.
Also check for possible interferences with the movement of mobile machinery such as jib cranes, bridge
cranes etc.
!
WARNING
If the platform works on public roads, signal it by blinking lights and special signs to the
ground.
!
WARNING
Do not work under poor visibility and lighting conditions, neither within magnetic fields.
!
WARNING
It is forbidden to move the vehicle when the aerial platform is not at its rest position
FAULTY MACHINE DANGER
It is forbidden to operate the machine before having carried out a
complete inspection
on it and having
checked that all the controls as well as all the safety devices are working properly.
It is forbidden to use a faulty or damaged machine
.
Machine maintenance must be carried out within the timeframe and according to the instructions in the
user manual.
Ensure that all the plates and labels are clear and visible
. Users or owners must replace plates and labels
that are unreadable, requesting them from RUTHMANN ITALIA S.r.l.
Make sure that the user manual is available and stored in a suitable manner
.
COLD CLIMATES
Before operating the machine in freezing conditions, make sure that all the controls are not blocked by ice
or snow.
In very cold conditions, before operating the machine, check the state of the fuel; before actually beginning
to work, carry out some partial manoeuvres to warm up the hydraulic oil.
Precautions need to be taken to prevent the hydraulic oil from being contaminated by water. The
emulsified water on the surface of the oil could freeze and form crystals that block the water itself, causing
damage to the hydraulic pump.
In cold or harsh climatic-environmental conditions, wait a few minutes before operating the machine, so
that both the engine and hydraulic oil warm up. The oil has to reach a minimum temperature of 10° - 20°.
On climatic-environmental conditions, do not undervalue the risk of exposure at elevated working
height.
!
WARNING
By low temperature (- 5°) operate the hydraulic pump for several minutes to let oil flow, so
that it reaches a temperature of at least 5°C, before operating the platform.
