E - STARTING THE PLATFORM
PLATFORMS WITH IC ENGINES
SAFETY NOTICE
- Never try to start the platform by pushing or towing it. Such operation may cause severe damage to the transmission.
In case of necessity, towing requires the platform to be set for free-wheeling (see : 3 - MAINTENANCE).
- If using an emergency battery for start-up, use a battery with the same characteristics and respect battery polarity
when connecting it. Connect at first the positive terminals before the negative terminals.
Failure to respect polarity between batteries can cause serious damage to the electrical circuit. The electrolyte in the battery may
produce an explosive gas. Avoid flames and generation of sparks close to the batteries.
Never disconnect a battery while it is charging.
INSTRUCTIONS
- Check the closing and locking of the hood(s).
- Turn the ignition key to notch I to switch on the electrical power, which automatically starts the pre-heating system (all
the bars must be displayed), the message “OK” is displayed.
- Check that everything is operating correctly by ensuring that no fault pages are displayed on the screen and no
warning about the fuel level (a pump icon is present on the screen) (see : 2 - DESCRIPTION : INSTRUMENTS AND
CONTROLS).
- Turn the ignition key to notch II to start.
- Release the ignition key and let the engine run at tick-over speed.
NB : In very cold weather (see: 2 - DESCRIPTION : INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS).
- Do not engage the starter motor for more than 15 seconds and carry out the preheating for 10 seconds between
unsuccessful attempts.
- Check all control instruments when the I.C. engine is warm and at regular intervals during use, so as to quickly detect
any faults and to be able to correct them without any delay.
- If any faults are displayed on the screen, stop the engine and immediately take the necessary measures.
ELECTRIC PLATFORMS
SAFETY NOTICE
- Do not use the platform if the battery is discharged to the point that movements are slowed down. In certain cases, the
platform may stop (see : 3 - MAINTENANCE : EVERY DAY OR EVERY 5 HOURS FOR OPERATION, for the
minimum permissible charge level).
INSTRUCTIONS
- Set the battery cut-out to the ON position.
- Check the closing and locking of the hood(s).
- Turn the ignition key to the basket position.
- Check that everything is operating correctly by ensuring that no error messages are displayed on the screen and that
the machine maintenance light is not flashing (see : 2 - DESCRIPTION : INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS).
NB: For machines not fitted with a display or a maintenance warning light, faults can be identified from the light directly
on the variable speed drive unit (to access: open the cowl on the control size, remove the casing from the variable
speed drive and see whether the light is flashing).
