15.7 Battery check
In order to secure the starting and safe operation the battery must be checked regularly.
Inspect and clean battery terminals regularly. Check also condition and fastening of battery
cables and terminal insulators. Make sure that battery cables cannot chafe against any sharp
edges. Check also condition and fastening of battery disconnect switch and cables.
ATTENTION! Always clean the battery before opening the caps so that dirt cannot get
in the battery.
15.8 Check of set-up outrigger control system
Always check the set-up outrigger control system before working on the access
platform.
The set-up outrigger control system recognizes when outriggers are set to the
ground. When outriggers are steadily on the ground, a green indicator light in the outrigger
control panel (p. 16, picture 6) lights up. If the green indicator light is lit up or lights up before
all 4 outriggers are set to the ground or when you turn the selector switch to boom mode
when the outriggers are not set to the ground, there is a malfunction or a fault in the system
and the operation must be stopped immediately. The malfunction can be found out on the
splitter box (Picture 18) in the back of the chassis. In the box connectors 1-4 are equivalent to
the numbering of the outriggers (picture 6). Connectors’ equivalent limit switches are: 1 =
S21, 2 = S22, 3 = S23, 4 = S24. When the outriggers are off the ground or in transport
position indicator light A should be lit next to connectors 1-4. Similarly when outriggers are
set to the ground indicator light B should be lit. If there is a malfunction the wrong light will be
lit or possibly none of the lights light up. Check the function of the splitter box during monthly
inspection.
ATTENTION!
If the set up control system doesn’t work correctly, it is not allowed to
use this access platform, and the failure/defect must be repaired before starting
operation.
