▪ The machine is equipped with an inclination control system disabling lifting in case of unstable positioning.
Working operations can be resumed only after placing the machine in a steady position. Should the audible
alarm (only if the platform is lifted) and the red light on the platform control panel turn on, the machine is not
correctly positioned (see paragraphs relevant to “Use instructions”). Bring it to low position before starting
operations again. If the tilt alarm is activated with platform lifted, the only possible platform operation is
lowering.
▪ The machine is equipped with a platform overload controller disabling the platform lifting and lowering in
case of overloading. In case of platform overloading when lifted, also drive is disabled. Platform operation
can be resumed only after removing the overload. 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.
▪ 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 board the platform must release the lowering
control and wait for the audible alarm to go off (about 3 sec.), before continuing lowering movement,
performed as follows: the audible alarm and warning device (where fitted) immediately trip, at a higher
frequency than normal, while movement is delayed by about 1.5 seconds. The above procedure also starts
every time the lowering control is given at a platform height below that of automatic stop (see "Lifting and
lowering" chapter).
▪ The machine features a device for checking the state of battery charge (battery protection device): when
battery charge 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 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 (see 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.
