7.2.9. Inclinometer operation check
WARNING!
Usually the inclinometer does not need to be adjusted unless the electronic control unit is replaced. The
equipment necessary for the replacement and adjustment of this component is such that these operations
should be carried out by skilled personnel.
AS THIS OPERATION IS VERY IMPORTANT IT IS TO BE CARRIED OUT BY SKILLED TECHNICIANS ONLY.
The inclinometer does not require any adjustment since it is
calibrated in the factory before the machine is delivered.
This device controls the chassis inclination and when
inclined over the allowed value:

it inhibits lifting and telescopic extension;

It warns of the instability condition by means of an
audible alarm and a warning light located on the
platform (see “General use instructions”).

lowering, telescopic retraction, turret rotations are
possible. All at an automatically reduced speed.
The inclinometer checks the inclination with respect to the
two axes (X; Y). On machine models that have the same
transversal and longitudinal inclination limits, the control is
carried out with reference to one axis only (X-axis).
Check operation at least once a year.
Fig. 32
To check the inclinometer operation according to the longitudinal axis (generally X-axis):

place 2 shims (A+10mm, see following table) under the 2 front or rear outriggers.
 Wait three seconds (operation delay set at factory) until the danger red light and the platform audible alarm turn on.
 make sure the lifting and telescopic boom extension controls are inhibited;
 if platform is lifted make sure the lowering and cage rotation controls are available; all at an automatically reduced speed.
To check the inclinometer according to the transversal axis (normally Y-axis):
 place 2 shims (B+10mm, see following table) under the 2 right or left outriggers.

Wait three seconds (operation delay set at factory) until the danger red light and the platform audible alarm turn on.

make sure the lifting and telescopic boom extension controls are inhibited;

if platform is lifted make sure the lowering and cage rotation controls are available; all at an automatically reduced speed.
