POSITIONING FOR WORK:
The vehicle must be parked on a hard ground to guarantee stability, with large seasonal and
transversal tilting complying with the maximum values given on the manufacturer nameplate.
If the elevator is equipped with hydraulic outriggers, avoid setting them down on the loose
ground. This type of ground could move or collapse under the weight of the vehicle, at any time.
In addition, during stabilization, it is essential not to lift the vehicle axles so that the wheels are
always kept in contact with the ground or with the weight distribution chocks.
Keep the working space on the bed of the vehicle clean and clear.
Never work with any part of the elevator (bucket, boom, outriggers etc.) in an area that is not
marked out. Use devices like cones or barriers to one drivers and pedestrians about your working
space.
When using the MEPP, the bearing force induced by the wheels or outriggers (optional) is 15
kN.
POINTS TO COMPLY WITH BEFORE USE:
Before using the elevator, check for oil leakages from the hydraulic power system: Oil spilled
beneath the vehicle, on the floor or on the elevator boom.
With the vehicle suitably parked on the work site and before using the elevator.
If the elevator has not been used for a long time or if it has been recently serviced, put it through
the various possible movements using the bottom remote control. This procedure will remove any
pockets of air in the hydraulic system that could cause abrupt and unexpected movements.
The user MUST:
• Apply the parking brake
• Move the gear shift lever to neutral.
• Leave of the ignition turned on with the engine idling.
• Engage the power take off
• Turn on the lighted signaling (“Triflash” button and "Gyro” (revolving light) button).
• Mark out the working area
• Chock the wheels with the supplied chocks.
• Lock the cab doors of the vehicle.
ACCESS POSITION
The platform must only be accessed when the MEPP is totally folded away in the traveling position
(refer to the chapter on vehicle traveling).
