OPERATING METHOD
Before operating the platform the stabilisers must be deployed, they should be extended
to lift the vehicle 50 to 75mm above its normal ride height. Once the stabiliser legs are
deployed and the leg set light is illuminated, the boom set can be operated. To enter the
basket drop the vehicle tail gate and select the platform ground controls, fully extend the
tele-boom and lower the cage ladder. Set the platform controls to cage and climb into
the basket, the cage controls can now be used to raise the platform. At low level the slew
function is disabled to prevent damage to the vehicle and platform by operator error.
Ensure the ladder is stowed after entry.
Once the mid boom is parallel with the base boom all cage controls can be used. Care
should be taken to avoid collisions between the booms and surrounding objects, and
also roof beacons if fitted.
Returning to the stow position is the reverse of the above procedure. Before stowing the
machine ensure that the areas where personnel or equipment could be crushed are
clear – boom rest, cage rail, rear of vehicle, etc.
Safety rules must be followed at all times.
LOAD SENSING SYSTEM
The VM135 platform is equipped with a load sensing system to protect the operators
from risk of overturning, the system monitors the load in the basket and limits the
payload to 200kg. If the maximum value is reached the machine is brought to a halt and
an LED lights on the cage controls, and a buzzer sounds. All functions are inhibited until
the overload is reduced below the safe operating limit. When this is done full control is
restored.
PREPARATION FOR TRAVELLING
Ensure the booms are fully stowed, close the vehicle tail gate and fully raise the
stabiliser legs.
Ensure all equipment in the vehicle load is area is secured for travel.
Raise all legs until the red NON STOWED indicator light in the cab goes out.
NOTE : When the booms and stabilisers are correctly stowed and the PTO disengaged,
all lights will be out and the vehicle may be driven away.
The Platform is fitted with interlocks which will sound a buzzer in the cab if the power
take-off is not disengaged, or the platform equipment is not correctly stowed when the
vehicle handbrake is released. A warning light will also illuminate.
