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 load/unload can be done through ramp,
exploiting the motricity of the machine as well as its
ability to overcome slope approach angle lower than
17° (31%). If you choose this way, please proceed with
the following procedure, 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 favor the operations and
reduce encumbrances.
Always use the radio control for
loading/unloading operations.
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 stability and increased ground
clearance when loading and unloading the
MEWP using ramps. To widen the tracks, see
par. 3.2.1.
Place the couple of ramps (of adequate
dimensions) and bring them in correspondence of
the machine tracks.
Check that the slope does not exceed 19°
(34%). Check they are perfectly clean from
grease, mud, snow or ice.
