5.2 Risk of tipping over
-
Safe working load (230 kg), number of persons (2) and additional load on the platform
must never be exceeded.
-
When wind speed is equal to or greater than 12,5 m/s - 28 mph, the use of the access
platform must be discontinued immediately and the platform must be lowered down to
transport position.
-
Ensure that the access platform is used on dry, solid, level ground only. The ground is
solid enough if it can carry min. 3 kg/cm
2
. On softer grounds use extra support plates
under the outriggers (plate dimensions 400 x 400 mm).
-
Do not use a ladder, chair, stool, scaffolding or by any other means try to increase reach
capability of this access platform.
-
In case the platform has got stuck or jammed, or it is too close to a building or a wall to
be moved, do not try to release the platform by operating the controls. All persons must
leave the platform first (with the help of a rescue service of fire brigade if necessary), only
after that one can try to lower the platform by using the emergency lowering.
-
Do not try to increase the area of the platform or the load. Increasing of the area exposed
to wind will weaken the stability of the access platform.
-
Weight must be equally distributed on the platform. Make sure that additional weight
cannot shift on the platform.
-
Do not drive on gradients that are steeper than the max. values given for this access
platform and for the slope.
-

intended for lifting of the max. allowed number of persons and additional load only.
-
Check and make sure that all tyres are in good condition. If the tyres are air filled make
sure that there is correct pressure in the tyres.
-
In order to ensure the safe operation of this access platform the manufacturer has
conducted approved tests for the
LEGUAN 165
in accordance with the standard
EN280:2015 : static stability test in accordance with paragraph 6.1.4.2.1 and dynamic
overload tests in accordance with paragraph 6.1.4.3 of the EN280:2015.
