Use and Maintenance Manual – A16 J A18 J Series Page 9
The hydraulic cylinders which move the articulated structure (except for the boom tilt sensor cylinder) are provided with over-
centre valves directly flanged on the same. These devices allow the booms to remain in position even if one of the supply tubes
accidentally breaks.
The platform , hinged to the end of the b oom “jib”, can be rotated by 140° totally (70° on the right and 70° on the left) by means
of a rotary actuator fitted with over-centre valve. It is fitted with guardrails and toe boards of prescribed height (the guardrails
height

1100 mm; the toe boards height

150 mm). The platform levelling is automatic and is ensured by mechanical ties and
two cylinders in closed circuit. The manual level compensation is possible by acting on the relevant control only with completely
lowered booms (and with “Jib” incli nation ranging b10° and – 70° with respect to the horizontal axis).
1.5. Control panels
The machine is equipped with two control panels:
▪
on the platform for normal use of the machine.
▪
On the turret (or on the ground) you can find the emergency controls to lower or stop the machine in emergency
situations, a key-selector to select the control panel and to start the machine.
1.6. Power supply
The machines can be powered by:
▪
An electric-hydraulic system composed of rechargeable accumulators and electric pump.
▪
A heat engine (Diesel engine models are identified by the abbreviation “D”; petrol engine models are identified by the
abbreviation “B”).
▪ a dual-powered electric/thermic system (dual-powered Electric/Diesel models are identified by the abbreviation “ED” ;
dual- powered Electric/Petrol models are identified by the abbreviation “EB”).
In any case both the hydraulic and the electric systems are equipped with all necessary protections (see wiring and hydraulic
circuit diagrams attached to this manual).
1.7. Machine life, demolition and decommissioning
The machine has been designed to last for 10 years in normal operating environments, if properly used and serviced. Within
this period, the manufacturer must carry out a complete inspection/overhaul.
If disposal of the unit is necessary, comply with current local regulations.
In Italy, the demolition/decommissioning must be notified to the local ASL / USL or ARPA.
The machine consists mainly of metal parts which are easy to be identified (steel for the most parts, and aluminium for the
hydraulic blocks); thus, we can state that the machine can be recycled at 90%.
European standards and those transposed by the member countries relating to respect for the
environment and the disposal of wastes envisage heavy administrative and penal fines in case of
infringement.
In case of demolition/decommissioning, carefully keep to the provisions of applicable regulations,
especially as regards materials such as hydraulic oil and batteries.
