▪ Pay particular attention to the area above the machine during lifting to avoid any crushing and collisions.
▪ During operation keep your hands in safety position, the driver has to place them as shown in picture A or B while
the transported operator has to keep them as shown in picture C.

3.3.3. Operating procedures
▪ The machine is equipped with a chassis inclination control system disabling lifting operations in case of unstable
positioning. Working operations can be resumed only after placing the machine in a steady position. Should the
audible alarm (activated only if the platform is lifted) and the red warning light on the platform control panel turn on,
the machine is not correctly positioned (see paragraphs about “Use instructions”) and it is necessary to bring it to
rest position before starting operations again. If the tilt alarm trips with the platform elevated, the only possible
operations are those that allow lowering the platform.
▪ The machine is equipped with an overload controller stopping the platform in case of overloading. In case of
platform overloading when lifted, also drive is disabled. Platform operation can be resumed only after removing the
exceeding load. Should the audible alarm and the red light located on the platform control panel turn on, then the
platform is overloaded (see chapter "Red warning light overload"). Remove the exceeding load before starting
operations again.
▪ Electrically-powered machines feature a device for checking the state of discharge of the battery (battery
protection): when battery discharge is at 20% the operator on the platform is informed of this condition through a
flashing red light. In this condition lifting is disabled, battery should be immediately charged.
▪ Do not lean over the platform guard rails.
▪ Make sure that no people, apart from the operator, are in the area where the machine is operating. While moving
the platform, the operator on board should pay particular attention to avoid any contact with the personnel on the
ground.
▪ During operations in public areas, in order to prevent people other than the personnel from approaching the
machine and being endangered, surround the working area by means of barriers or other suitable signs.
▪ Avoid severe weather conditions and, in particular, windy days.
▪ Lift the platform only if the machine is resting on solid and horizontal surfaces (following chapters).
▪ Drive the machine with lifted platform only if the ground is solid and horizontal.
▪ After each work session, always take the keys out of the control panels and keep them in a safe place to prevent
unauthorized people from using the machine.
▪ Always place working tools in a steady position to prevent them from falling and hurting the operators on the
ground.
When choosing the positioning point of the chassis, to prevent unexpected possible contacts with obstacles, always observe the
figures carefully as these make it possible to identify the range of action of the platform ( chap. 2).
