USE OF THE BOOMS
When you activate the boom operation mode:
1.
Check to make sure that all the outriggers lie on solid ground, that the platform is level
and that the green lifting light is on. If an attempt is made to raise the boom while the
signal light is not on, the machine engine switches off and cannot be restarted before
the booms have been lowered into the transport position using the emergency lowering
function.
2.
Turn the ‘mode selection’ switch to the ‘boom operation’ position.
3.
Adjust the hand throttle so that it is slightly above idle speed.
4.
The booms are controlled with the levers of a control valve located on the platform.
5.
When the ‘<135 kg’ signal light is on, the entire work range can be used. If the light is
not on, the working range is restricted - in this case, the extension extends outwards
for a metre. When the load is below the limit, the <135 kg signal light must light up
irrespective of the position of the extension. If the light is not on or is on continuously,
the use of the machine must be discontinued and the machine must be inspected. In
addition, the Leguan 125M2 machine is equipped with an overload protection system
that prevents all boom motions if the load exceeds 200 kg or 135 kg when the extension
is extended further than the permitted range. The machine sounds an alarm and the
control panel’s warning light switches on if the maximum load is exceeded. The boom
operation is enabled only when the excess weight is removed and the ignition key is
turned to the ‘0’ position (the engine is turned on and off again).
Thanks to the fully hydraulic controls, the boom movements are very smooth, exact and stepless.
Operate the control levers with ease and without hesitation – learn to operate the booms
precisely.
The platform self-levelling system keeps the bottom of the platform level automatically.
NOTE! If the level position of the platform must be adjusted – for instance in case the machine
has not been used for a long time and the platform has tilted – operate the control lever for
platform self-levelling carefully, especially when the booms are up.
Note! Always lift the lower booms from transport support first before operating
other movements.
When lowering the booms, make sure to drive them straight down to the transport
supports.
Note! If the <135 kg signal light does not switch on and more than 30 cm of the
green bar on top of the extension is visible, the use of the machine must be stopped
immediately and the maintenance service must be contacted. THERE IS A
SERIOUS RISK OF IT TIPPING OVER!
