WASHING THE PLATFORM
- Clean the platform or at least the area concerned before any intervention.
- Remember to close and lock all accesses to the platform (cowls, etc.).
-When cleaning with a pressure washer, avoid the articulation joints, and the electrical components and connections.
- If necessary, protect components likely to be damaged, and in particular the electrical components (variable speed drive, charger) and
connections and the injection pump from penetration by water, steam or cleaning products.
- Dry the electrical components.
- Clean the platform of any fuel, oil or grease trace.
-Grease the shafts.
FOR ANY OPERATIONS OTHER THAN REGULAR MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS, CONSULT YOUR DEALER
HYDRAULICS
- Make any repairs and fix any leaks, including minor ones, immediately.
- Do not attempt to loosen unions, hoses or any hydraulic component while the circuit is under pressure.
BALANCING VALVE: It is dangerous to change the setting or remove the balancing valves or safety valves which
may be fitted to y
our platform cylinders. These operations must only be performed by approved personnel
(consult your dealer).
Ensure that all consumables and replacement parts are disposed of safely, in an environmentally friendly
manner.
The HYDRAULIC ACCUMULATORS that may be fitted on your platform are pressurised units. Removing these
accumulators and their pipework is a dangerous operation and must only be performed by approved personnel
(consult your dealer).
ELECTRICITY
- Do not drop metallic items on the battery (between the "Plus" and "Minus" terminals).
- Disconnect the battery or batteries before working on the electrical circuit.
- The electrical box must only be opened by authorised personnel.
WELDING ON THE ACCESS PLATFORM
- Disconnect the battery or batteries before welding on the platform.
- When carrying out electric welding work on the platform, connect the negative cable from the welding equipment directly to the part
being welded, so as to avoid high tension current passing through the alternator or the slewing ring.
- If the platform is equipped with an electronic control unit, disconnect this before starting to weld, to avoid the risk of causing
irreparable damage to electronic components.
Welding operations for the purposes of maintenance or repairs must only be carried out by persons authorised
by MANITOU.
