functions of the machine are stopped. Normal functions are enabled by rotating the key of 1/4 turn clockwise.
5.5.2 Platform lifting/lowering (B-C)
To lift and lower the platform it is necessary to operate button B) for lifting and C) for lowering holding them pressed during the
whole execution of the procedure.
Platform lifting and lowering take place at a factory-set fixed speed. These speeds cannot be changed.
For safety reasons to be able to operate the machine, the lifting and lowering buttons must be held pressed during the execution of
the movements. If the button is accidentally released while the machine is operating, the movement is immediately stopped.
During lifting and lowering an audible alarm located on the chassis is automatically activated.
NOTE:
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").
