Lifting operations must be carried out when the machine is closed.
Be careful not to damage machine.
Always use the personal protection equipment; do not handle ropes
or chains without gloves.
The presence of people in proximity of MEWP during the operations
is forbidden.
Alternatively, the loading/unloading can be done through ramp, exploiting
the motricity of the machine as well as its ability to overcome attack
slopes not > 18° (32%). If you choose this way, please continue with the
following procedure, and carefully reading the danger notes suggested.
Comply with the rules in force about width, height, weight and
transport speed allowed.
Check that the limit gauge is compatible with the features of the
route to be made (i.e. galleries, bridges, electrical and phone lines,
etc.).
WARNING! In both cases, it is advisable to remove the basket
to reduce encumbrances and favor the operations.
Always use the wired remote control for loading/unloading op-
erations.
4.3.1 Loading/unloading through ramp
Check that no one is in proximity and that the MEWP is in
transport configuration.
The tracks should be extended to maximum width for improved sta-
bility and increased ground clearance when loading and unloading
the MEWP using ramps. (*optional).
0. Unhook the basket by removing the pivot and cotter pin, turning to
the left the pin, decoupling it from the support mounted on the jib.
Reposition the pin in the bush and reinsert the cotter pin (Picture
16).
1. Take the cabled remote control from its storage place and verify
that it is correctly connected to its feed plug (Picture 13).
