An optional flashing light may be installed on the machine.
This equipment may be activated:
- When the machine is powered up
- When the diesel engine is running
- During drive movements
- During drive and lifting structure movements
See § 8.3.1 – Option settings.
5.6. ANTICRUSHING SYSTEM (OPTION)
The anti-crushing system consists of a pressure sensitive bar mounted in front of the platform
controls.
If during the drive (forward, reverse) or elevation movements (arm 1, arm2, arm 3, telescope),
the operator gets himself into a crushing situation, the sensitive bar will be triggered with his
body.
The movement will stop immediately and will reverse for about one second (the duration
depends on the movement) and the alarm will sound.
The bar does not need special maintenance. It has to be changed every 10 years.
Inspection :
Ensure the bar is not visually damaged.
Function Test:
1. From the platform controls, press the foot switch and make an elevation movement or
drive the machine.
2. Press the bar with your body during the movement.
3. The machine shall stop immediately and the alarm shall sound.
4. To reset “the crushing situation”, the operator has to release the foot switch, remove his
body from the sensitive bar and release the movement control from the platform control
box.
If you make a lowering movement and activate the pressure sensitive bar, nothing happens.
An operator can also take control of the machine from the ground even when the sensitive bar
is activated.
