LOADING AND UNLOADING OF THE ACCESS PLATFORM
Check that the safety instructions associated with the flatbed are being obser-
ved before loading the access platform, and make sure that the truck driver is
informed about the dimensional characteristics and the weight of the access
platform. (see chapter: CHARACTERISTICS).
During the loading on a flatbed, the access platform should be in transportation
position: - Counterweight opposite the ramp (counterweight above the access
platform's steerable wheels) (See 1 - INSTRUCTIONS AND SAFETY
measures ; chapter on SAFETY STICKERS, references 1 and 2).
- Upper arm on its end stop
- Lower and intermediate arm in the low position
- Telescope retracted
- The pendular arm can be raised so that it does not touch the ground
but we do not advise you to make any travelling movements with the basket
raised too high: keep this in the lowest possible position when manoeuvring
(risk of impacts or falls: see 1 – SAFETY ADVICE AND INSTRUCTIONS;
Chapter DRIVING INSTRUCTIONS).
- Lock the turret.
Make sure that the dimensions and load capacity of the flatbed are adequate
for transprorting the access platform. Also check the permissible ground
contact pressure of the flatbed in relation to the access platform.
LOADING
- Chock the wheels of the flatbed item 1 (Fig A).
- Secure the loading ramps to the flatbed so as to make the smallest possible
angle for loading the access platform.
NB : The machine is represented with a reduce space required (platform is
completely foldep up) (Fig A).
ACCESS PLATFORM RETRACTION PROCEDURE
- Rotate to the left until the basket reaches its stop.
- Raise the upper arm.
- Switch on the basket tilt movement to retract the basket under the upper
arm.
- Lower the upper arm, taking care not to bump the basket on the ground.
- Switch on the basket tilt movement again to retract the basket as far as
possible under the upper arm.
- Switch on turret rotation to the right so that the overall width does not
exceed the width of the chassis.
ANCHORING THE ACCESS PLATFORM
- Place wheel chocks on the flatbed in front and behind each tyre of the access
platform.Item 2 (Fig A).
- Also place chocks on the inside and outside of each tyre. Item 3 (Fig A).
- Anchor the access platform to the flatbed using ropes of suitable strength. Tie
the ropes at the front and the rear, passing them through the lifting eyes on
the access platform Item 4 (Fig A) Item 5 (Fig B).
