User’s Manual – A16 J A18 J Series Page 9
The above three lifting assemblies are operated by 4 hydraulic double-acting cylinders as follows:
 One for “arm” operation;

One for “boom” operation;
 One for sliding the telescopic boom in and out;

One for “jib” operations.
The hydraulic cylinders controlling all the crank arm operations (except boom incline sensor) are provided with face-
mounted over-centre valves. This special design allows the keeping of the booms in the same position even in the
unlikely case of a hydraulic line failure.
The platform is hinged to the end of the “jib” and can be swivelled 140° (70° to the right and 70° to the left) by means of
a rotary actuator fitted with over centre valve. The platform has also got guard rails and toe boards of a predefined height
(1100 mm /433 in for the guard rails and

150 mm /59 in for the toe boards). The levelling of the platform is automatic
and is ensured by mechanical ties and two cylinders in closed circuit. A manual adjustment is strictly possible by means
of a special control on condition that the boom is fully DOWN (closed) and the “Jib” inclination against the plane ranges
b10° and –70°.
1.5. Operator's stations
The machine is equipped with two operator's stations, respectively located:
 on the platform for normal operations; and

and on the tower (or on ground). The latter contains the emergency controls (to lower or stop the machine in
case of emergencies), a key-selector to select the active control panel and to start the machine.
1.6. Power supply
The machines can be powered by:
 an electric-hydraulic system composed of rechargeable batteries and electrical pump;
 an engine (diesel engine models are identified by the abbreviation “D”; gasoline engine models are identified by
the abbreviation “B”);
 a combination-power system (Electric/Diesel models are identified by the abbreviation “ED”; Combi models with
electric/gasoline power are identified by the abbreviation “EB”).
Both hydraulic and electric systems are equipped with all the necessary protections and safeties (see wiring and
hydraulic circuit diagrams).
1.7. Machine life, demolition and decommissioning
The machine has been designed to last for 10 years in normal operating conditions, 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 is made from 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 is 90% recyclable.
The European standards and those transposed by the member countries relating to environmental
safety and waste disposal 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.
