-
Personnel with long hair, loose clothing or jewellery such as bracelets, necklaces, rings etc. may not
access the machine. These could cause injuries and accidents as they could get caught up or ripped off.
-
It is compulsory to use personal safety gear: protective headgear and safety harness secured to the
cage.
CHECKING CORRECT OPERATION
1.
Choose an area that is free of all obstacles.
2.
Check that there is enough fuel in the tank provided and the battery is connected.
3.
Lower the stabilizers until the chassis is raised completely off the ground and levelled (check using
optical level)
There are three phases to stabilizing the machine correctly:
a)
lower the four stabilizers towards the ground
b)
simultaneously lift the two stabilizers that are on the downhill side
c)
simultaneously lift the two stabilizers on the opposite side until the machine is level.
4.
Use the joystick following the below sequence:
- act on the lower boom joystick for lifting the lower boom
- act on the upper boom joystick for lifting the upper boom
- act on the telescopic boom joystick for extending the upper boom
- act on the turret rotation joystick for turning the turret in a clockwise or anticlockwise direction.
5.
Repeat the above mentioned operations inverting the sequence to bring the platform back to transport
mode, paying particular attention to the closure of the stabilizers, which must occur by lifting them a
few centimetres at a time, preferably two at a time
–
front and back
–
or all four simultaneously
.
2.4 SECURITY RULES DURING MAINTENANCE
-
When the platform is being checked, put a notice “Check” on the cabin door
. Before checking the
platform or before any operation with telescopic boom raised, always apply blocks or safety supports.
-
It is forbidden to do any maintenance operation while the boom is working: the boom must be at rest
position.
-
It is extremely dangerous to commit mistakes. Before greasing or repairing, read this Use and
Maintenance Manual carefully.
-
When working on the electrical system, always wear protection glasses and take off rings, wrist watches
and any other metal jewel.
-
As general rule, not use petrol for clearing the components.
-
Heavy parts should be lifted by means of a hoist.
-
During assembly and disassembly or when using the hammer to hit parts, be careful with Flying metal
particles. Always wear protection glasses.
-
A fluid that draws under pressure can have the force to penetrate your skin.
Always release the
pressure before disconnecting the hydraulic pipes and tighten all unions before putting on the pressure.
Keep your hands and body away from holes and nozzles from which high-pressure liquid comes out. Use
a piece of cardboard or paper to search for leaks.
-
It is forbidden to make changes to the machine that can modify components or parameters established
by the manufacturer.
-
Check at least once a day or a shift the vehicle, in order to see if there are external damages (corrosion,
welding, integrity of structural parts). In case you find changes (in the working too) you have to inform
the person in charge immediately. Stop the vehicle immediately.
-
The interventions on the electric system must always be made by a specialized staff that is able to act
according to what is established by the rules in force, or by our Service Department.
-
Do not scatter lubricants into the environment, but collect and dispose of those products, respecting the
rules in force in every country.
-
The hydraulic circuit alteration can be a serious danger for platform use.
