User’s Manual – A16 J A18 J Series Page 7
1.1.2.2. Periodical Functional Tests.
Yearly overhauls are compulsory. In Italy, the owners of an Aerial Platform must apply for a periodical check by sending
a registered letter to the local competent inspection board (ASL/USL or other qualified public or private services) at least
twenty days before the expiry of the year from the last check.
PLEASE NOTE: If a machine without a valid control document should be moved in an area outside the competence of
the usual inspection board, the owner of the machine must ask the inspection board, competent for the new territory
where the machine is to be used, for the annual check.
1.1.2.3. Transfers of ownership.
In case of transfer of ownership (in Italy) the new owner of the Aerial Platform must notify the ownership of the machine
to the local competent inspection board (ASL/USL or other qualified public or private services) by enclosing a copy of:

Statement of compliance issued by the manufacturer.

Statements of successful commissioning carried out by the first owner.
1.1.3. Operators training and information.
The employer must ensure that the workers appointed to use the equipment are adequately and specifically trained so
they are able to use the Mobile Elevating Work Platform in a proper and safe way and also avoid the risks caused by
other people.
1.2. Tests of the manufacturer performed before the delivery.
Before being placed on the market, each MEWP undergoes the following tests:

Braking test
 Overload test
 Functional test
1.3. Application field
The machine described in this user’s manual is a self-propelled aerial platform intended for lifting persons and materials
(equipment and work materials) in order to carry out maintenance, installation, cleaning, painting, de-painting, sand-
blasting, welding operations, etc. The max. (load) capacity varies according to the model (see paragraph “Technical
features”) and would be normally assigned as follows:

80 Kg for each person on board
 40 Kg for tools and equipment
 The remaining load is represented by the materials to be handled.
NEVER exceed the maximum capacity as indicated in paragraph "Technical features”. Persons, tools and work materials
can be loaded on the platform only from the initial boarding position (platform all-down). It is absolutely forbidden to load
persons, tools and work materials on the platform when it is not in the boarding position.
Any load must be put inside the cage. Do not lift any load (even if within the maximum capacity) hanging off the platform
or lifting structure.
Do not carry large-sized panels since they increase the resistance to wind force thus causing the machine to tilt over.
Do not load anything on the platform while the platform is UP and the machine travels (operators on board are not
allowed to pull wires or ropes, etc...)
An overload controller stops the machine if the load on the platform exceeds the nominal load by approx. 20% (see
chapter "General Use and Operation”) and platform is lifted.
The machine cannot be used in areas where road vehicles operate. Make sure to alert the presence of the platform by
means of suitable signs when the machine is used in public areas.
Do not use the machine to tow trucks or other vehicles.
