On completion of an extended period of road transport, the machine might need additional
inspection to identify any transit degradation, which could render the machine unsafe. Perform
a P.D.I. inspection on the unit before it enters service. Record any faults found and rectify them
immediately.
10) If left un-attended for an extended period, it is likely that the hydraulic basket levelling will
become un-pressurised. Normal operation is then lost, with a noticeable delay in the forwards
or backwards motion as the booms move. To restore normal function, the basket needs to be
fully levelled forwards and backwards, using the basket-levelling lever whilst not standing in the
basket (i.e. with the operator standing adjacent to the basket side whilst simultaneously
operating the lever and green button to move the basket). Take care not to become trapped
between the moving basket and a fixed object, and ensure those around you are clear of the
moving basket. When the system has been charged in both directions, the basket
levelling
function should be restored. If the system operates but is ‘jerky’ in either direction, this
indicates air in the system.
Repeat the procedure as described above until the movements are smooth and un-interrupted.
If in doubt, contact our Service Department for further advice.
Niftylift Limited is not liable for any third party damage caused during transport. Careful attention to
correct procedures will prevent many of the small snags that can happen in transit. Re-work is both
expensive and time consuming. A defective machine arriving at the place of work is a poor
advertisement for our product, the company’s reputation and those of our dealers and clients. The
responsibility for safe and damage-free transport rests with the haulier or his representatives.
