6. HANDLING AND CARRYING
6.1 Handling
To handle the machine completely lower the platform, press the emergency stop button of the ground control panel and unlock
the two pedal parking brakes. Move the machine into working position by pushing it with both hands on the handles placed on the
entry rail. Pay attention during this procedure to avoid any hands or feet crushing. Once reached the working point, apply both
parking brakes as shown in the figure aside, ensuring that the machine does not move, and then pull the emergency stop button
located on the chassis.
Before carrying out any displacement operation, verify that no people are in proximity of the machine and
in any case proceed with the utmost caution.
Before handling the machine check that the connection plugs are disconnected from the power supply
source.
Check that there are no holes and/or steps on the floor and bear in mind machine overall dimensions.
While operating on slopes ask for colleague’s help to avoid risks.
Do not park the machine without brakes on. Should the brakes be out of order put wedges under the
wheels to prevent the machine from moving accidentally.
In order to avoid any instability, use the machine on regular and firm grounds. To prevent the machine
from overturning, comply with the max. gradeability values indicated in the Technical data section under
paragraph "Stability limits". However, movements on inclined grounds are to be carried out with the
utmost caution.
It is forbidden to move the machine with platform raised. To move the machine it is necessary that the work
platform is in the access position (fully lowered). No operator and/or material must be on board the
platform during the displacement of the machine.
Do not operate the machine if components boxes are not properly closed.
