5.1.4 Manual extension of the platform
The extension of the mobile platform is carried out manually.
To extend the mobile platform (Figure 6):
Press lock pedal A.
Manually push the platform from the inclined part of the rails
while holding down pedal
A.
Release pedal A close to one of the provided slots depending on
the extension you wish to achieve.
Make sure that lock pedal A is actually inserted into the slot to be
sure that the mobile platform is locked.

5.1.5 Levelling outriggers control (OPTIONAL)
Some models are fitted with four levelling outriggers to allow the machine to be positioned on inclined grounds. To activate the
levelling outriggers it is necessary to:
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 desired switch.
Always check the firmness of the ground before lifting the platform. Place strong wooden boards under
the outriggers pads so as to spread the load on a wider surface.
While using the outriggers, an automatic system stops platform lifting in the event that one of the pads
does not rest perfectly on the ground. The levelling outrigger pads are resting on the ground when all
warning lights ZB are ON.
Specially provided microswitches located on the levelling outriggers control their position. With
lowered outriggers – even if not resting on the ground – drive is disabled. If the pads are neither resting
on the ground nor completely lifted, the warning lights ZB are flashing. In order to carry out the drive,
lift the pads completely. When warning lights ZB turn off, pads are completely lifted.
To avoid any improper use, machines with levelling outriggers are equipped with a suitable
microswitch that checks the position of the platform. When the platform is at a height above 3 meters
(approx.) from the ground the levelling outriggers cannot be operated.
The levelling outriggers operation is signalled by warning lights ZB. See paragraph “Warning lights”.
5.1.5.1 Levelling outriggers manual control (OPTIONAL)
To lift/lower the levelling outriggers it is necessary to operate one or more of the four control levers ZA.
If you set levers ZA downwards, the levelling outriggers pads extract; vice versa, if you set the levers upwards, they retract.
The location of the control levers ZA and relevant warning lights ZB corresponds to the arrangement of the levelling outriggers:
Lever/Warning light A = Front left levelling jack
Lever/Warning light B = Front right levelling jack
Lever/Warning light C = Rear left levelling jack
Lever/Warning light D = Rear right levelling jack
