3.3.3 Operating procedures
 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 tilt alarm
turn on, the machine is not correctly positioned (see paragraphs “Use instructions”) and the platform must
be brought back to safety rest position before resuming operations.
 The machine is not equipped with an overload controller as in the design phase we considered stability and
overload criteria increased as reported by the EN280 in paragraphs 5.4.1.5 and 5.4.1.6 .
 The machine is equipped with a device to avoid the risk of shearing and crushing in the lifting structure in
compliance with EN280:2001: the lowering movement is automatically stopped in a position where the
vertical distance between the scissor ends is over 100 mm. The operator on the platform should check that
no people are nearby the area with crushing risk, only then the lowering control can be resumed (see
chapter "Lifting and lowering").
 The machine features a device for checking the state of battery charge (battery protection device): when
battery charge is at 20% this condition is signalled by a red flashing light on the voltmeter. 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
lowering 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.
 Lift the platform only if the machine rests on solid and horizontal surfaces (see the next chapters) and only
when all four wheels are in contact with the ground.
 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).
