•Ifthepressureofthestabilisersonthegroundexceedstheallowablepressure
ontheground, the support surfacemust be increasedbyinserting appropriate
platesorasubstrateofstablematerial(e.g.wood)betweenthegroundandthe
stabiliser plate. This material must ensure good friction with the underlying
ground and  wi
th the stabiliser plate. Any risk of the machine sliding on the
groundmustbeeliminated.
11.4.1.Preliminarychecksbeforestartingwork
Carryoutthefollowingcheckseverydaybeforeusingthemachine:
•Checkthattherearenoleaksfromthehydraulicsystem.Ifleaksarepresent,
carryoutthenecessaryrepairsandtopupʺMaintenance(p.
139)ʺ.Cleanthearea
usingasolventorapressurisedsolutionofwateranddetergent,takingcareto
preventcontactwiththeelectricalparts.
•Makesurethereisnocorrosionandthere arenocracksaroundweldedpoints.
•Check the condition and correct tensioning of the track beltsʺMaintenance
(p.
139)ʺ.
•Checkthattherearenobroken,damagedormissingcomponents.Checkthe
correctti ghtness of the pinlockingbolts and nutsorthesafety locknut.Before
usingthemachinereplace,tightenandadjustthemaccordingtotheinstructions
oftheplatformmanufacturer
•Eliminatedebristhatmaycausefireorbreakage,payingparticularatt
ention
tothemachinecontrolareaandtheareaaroundthediesel/petrolengine.
•Cleanthehandrails,footboardsandcontrolleversremovinganyoilresidues
anddebristhatmayaffectsafetyduringtheoperations,thusputtingtheoperator
atrisk.Checktheconditionoftheindicatorsandelectriccontrolsonthecontrol
b
oardpositionedonthebasket.
•Checktheconditionoftheadhesivelabelspositionedonthemachinetoensu‐
retheyareeasilyvisible.
•Checkthatthequan tityoffuelinthefueltankissufficient,inordertoavoid
uselessdowntimeandemergencydescents.
•Checkthecorrectoperationofallsafetyde
vices.
11.4.2.StartingthePetrol/Dieselengine
Beforestartingtheengineitisnecessaryto:
•BecomefamiliarwithalltheproceduresdescribedintheUSERANDOPERA‐
TIONMANUALofthemachineandoftheengine,andtoknowthemeaningof
thesafetylabels;
