Use and Maintenance Manual – Series X – XS E RESTYLING
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 ("Snail").
▪ 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 and lowering
The following controls are to be used to lift and lower the platform (see FIGURE 5-1):
▪ Joystick control A
▪ Movement selector L
▪ Dead-man switch D
To lift/lower the platform carry out the following operations in sequence:
▪ Select “lift/lower” mode with selector L.
▪ Press dead-man switch D (the green led E will light up steady indicating its enabling).
▪ Within 10 seconds from the green steady led E lighting up, set proportional joystick control A forward for lifting or backward for
lowering by holding down dead-man switch D as long as the movement has been carried out.
Platform lowering is performed at fixed speed.
NOTE:
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
seconds) before continuing lowering movement, performed as follows: the audible alarm and warning light (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.
Before carrying out any LIFTING or LOWERING operation, verify that no people are in proximity of the
machine and in any case proceed with the utmost caution.
