3. Intended use and fields of application
The machine is an elevating device for construction work, of platform type and
intended for temporary use on construction sites, for the vertical transport of
material and staff (13 persons MAXIMUM). Loading/unloading of material and staff
is permitted at access levels installed and secured at set heights.
• The SEP is intended for temporary use on construction sites for the vertical transport of
material and persons. It can only be used on site by trained personnel to operate the
platform vertically to access levels installed and secured in height.
• Exterior use intended. Interior use intended (conditional).
• Security doors must absolutely be installed at each access level, even if the unit is used
exclusively to transport material vertically.
• The number of persons on the platform is limited to 13 persons maximum and must be
evenly distributed on the platform.
∞ SEE TABLE 2 – GENERAL DATA, ON PAGE 14.
• Deduce load of persons present on the platform from the maximum load:
o Average weight considered per person 176 lb (80 kg).
o Weight of equipment considered to for two (2) first persons, 88 lb (40 kg) per
persons. For additional workers (past the first two (2)) don’t consider weight of
equipment.
• The speed of operation (lowering and ascending) of the SEP is limited to 40ft/min
(12,20m/min).
• The platform is intended for use at temperatures reaching no less than -4°F (-20°C)
MINIMUM. For temperatures ranging from [41°F (5°C) to -4°F (-20°C] use the permanent
heating systems (optional) and keep the power supply boxes (principal, GC1 and CC1)
energized.
∞ SEE SECTION 5.5 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION (ON SITE), ON PAGE 37.
• Operation authorised for wind speed not exceeding >35 mi/h (>55 km/h). If the wind
speed exceeds this limit, the platform must be lowered to ground level and work must be
put out of service! For a list of permitted wind speeds, please refer to the technical
specifications table. In case the platform need to be out of service, it may be necessary to
secure/anchor the machine to the ground. In case of a storm, it may be necessary to
secure/anchor the machine to the ground.
∞ SEE TABLE 2 – GENERAL DATA, ON PAGE 14.
• Certain machines are equipped with an overload system (optional) that prevents vertical
movement in both directions if the permitted charge is exceeded. An indicator light turns
on on the control panel of the platform in case of overload and an alarm signal warns
workers close by. This device is optional and offers as an option on the initial sale of
the machine.
3.1. Improper use
Improper use of the equipment may have serious consequences such as;
• Physical or material damage
• Danger to the physical life integrity of the user or other workers close by
• Cancellation of all indemnities
