POSITIONING FOR WORK:
The vehicle must be parked on a hard floor with a maximum tilting abiding by the maximum
values indicated on the builder’s plate.
If the elevator is equiped with hydraulic outriggers, avoid setting them on a weak ground that
could move or collapse with the vehicle weight. Moreover, take care that the veicle’s wheels
always keep contact with the ground or wheel chocks.
Keep the working area clean and cleared.
Never work with the boom in a non signalized area. Use devices like cones to warn pedestrians
and motorists of your attendance.
When using the lift, the bearing strength induced by the wheels or the hydraulic outriggers
(option) are up to 15 kN.
BEFORE USING THE LIFT:
Before using the lift, check for oil leakages on the hydraulic power system, on the ground, the roof
or under the vehicle and on the main boom.
Check also that the vehicle is correctly positioned on the working area.
If the machine has not been used for a long period or if it has had maintenance, begin by making
the elevator move in every direction using the downer remote control. This process allows
removing eventual air bubbles remaining in pipes which could cause sudden and unexpected
movements.
Also, the operator MUST:
Engage the parking brake
Place the gearshift lever to neutral position (no gear engaged)
Switch on the ignition, letting the engine at idle
Engage the power take off
Swith on the light signalizing
Mark the working area
Put the wheel chocks
Close the doors of the vehicle
ACCESSING POSITION
Accessing the platform must be done only when the elevator is fully folded and in traveling position
(Report to Chapter. V.)
