12 EMERGENCY DESCENT SYSTEM
As a precaution against possible power failure, the lift is equipped with a battery operated emergency
descent system.
1. Setup of the system
- battery 12V 68 Ah
- hydraulic unit 12 VDC
- (automatic carger of the battery 12VDC 3A, on the model powered by electric motor )
2. The hydraulic unit comprises:
- pressure relief valve, set value 16 MPa (160 bar)
- check valve
- direct current motor 800W
Start the emergency descent system from the pushbutton S11 on the platform or S13 on the chassis.
The emergency descent system can only be operated when the pushbutton is depressed.
Retracting the boom using the emergency descent system
When the emergency descent button is depressed
1. The emergency descent unit starts
2. The telescope automatically starts to retract.
3. The boom and the articulated arm system start to lower simultaneously, after the telescope has been
fully retracted.
The emergency descent system can also be used for raising the support outriggers to the transport
position
The emergency descent unit starts when the pushbutton S32 on the chassis control panel is depressed.
At the same time the pushbutton at the end of the outrigger control valve is depressed whereupon the
outrigger starts to rise.
If the emergency descent system does not operate try to warn other personnel present on the site so that
they can make the lift engine or the emergency descent unit operational by, for example, changing the
battery.
Always check the condition of the emergency descent system battery before putting the lift into
operation.
