Use and Maintenance Manual - R13 R17 Series Page 9
 One cylinder for the “pantograph” extension.
 One cylinder for the boom extension.

One cylinder for the extension/retraction of the telescopic boom.

One cylinder for the “jib” extension.
The hydraulic cylinders which move the articulated structure are provided with over-center 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 “jib”, can be rotated by 120° totally (60° on the right and 60° on the left) by means of an
electric 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
(“Jib” inclination excluded).
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. Drive power
The machines are powered by a dual powered system:

heat motor (standard petrol motor; optional diesel motor);

electric pump (standard 230V single-phase; optional 380 three-phase).
In any case both the hydraulic and the electric systems are equipped with all necessary protections (see electric and hydraulic
circuit diagrams annexed 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.
