BoSS X-Series
User guide
2.2
Operating site
When a BoSS X-Series machine is delivered to site ensure that
the machine will be able to reach the work area; these are not
rough terrain machines and should not be pushed across unstable
or uneven ground as this could cause significant damage to the
machines. It is good practice to walk the route from the machine
parking place to the workplace.
A visual inspection of the operating area should be made before
setting up the machine paying particular attention to the following
issues:
2.2.1
Ground conditions
Ensure that the ground on which the BoSS X-Series machine is to
operate is capable of supporting the weight of the machine (including
the maximum rated load of 240kg). Be aware of specific floor areas
such as manhole covers which may not be designed to withstand the
following maximum point loading exerted by the castor wheels:
BoSS X3X – 17.43kg/cm
2
BoSS X3 – 16.83kg/cm
2
BoSS X2 – 15.8kg/cm

2.2.2
Ground flatness
Ideally the BoSS X-Series machine should be operated on a flat
surface resulting in a 0 degree chassis inclination. However, the
BoSS X-Series machine can be safely operated where the ground
is slightly uneven resulting in the following maximum lateral and
longitudinal inclinations:
BoSS X3X – 1.25
0
BoSS X3 – 1.5
0
BoSS X2 – 1.5
0
The BoSS X-Series machines are fitted with a tilt sensor and will
not raise if this angle is exceeded. All four castor wheels must be in
contact with the ground at all times.
2.2.3
Overheard obstructions
Ensure that adequate clearance is available above and around the
platform before deployment and elevation. Pay particular attention to
the presence of live electrical cables.
