5.1.2 Drive with operator on the ground
If drive operations are to be carried out not from the preset control panel on the platform (e.g. transit through doors where the
machine height is too high) you can proceed as follows:
Lower the machine completely.
Remove the platform control panel.
If necessary, remove or fold down the rails to further reduce the overall height.
Select the slow drive speed I
Carry out the movements at a safety distance from the machine of at least 1 metre
Pay attention to the directions of drive and steering, keeping in mind that the indications on the “platform control panel” refer to
its preset position (fixed to the rails).
IT IS FORBIDDEN
To lift/lower the machine using the ground control panel
5.1.3 Platform lifting/lowering
To lift/lower the platform carry out the following operations in sequence:
a)
Press and release “dead-man” button ZD located on the platform; the green led O will light up steady indicating its enabling.
b)
Within 5 seconds from the green steady led O lighting up, set the proportional joystick control B forward for forward drive or backward
for reverse drive.
By operating the joystick control gradually smooth accelerations and decelerations can be achieved during platform lifting. Platform
lowering is performed at one speed only.
Control the platform lifting movement only on sufficiently solid and flat surfaces.
Lifting control is active only if lifting enable green warning light (T) is ON. If it is OFF, lifting control is
paragraph “Warning lights”.
The machine is equipped with a device to avoid the risk of shearing and crushing in the lifting structure in compliance
with “EN280”. The lowering movement is automatically stopped in a position where the vertical distance between the
scissor ends is over 50 mm. In this condition the movement alarm warns about the danger condition by increasing its
frequency. The operator on the platform must release the lowering control and wait until the alarm stops (about 3 sec.),
then he can resume the lowering control.
