LOADING / UNLOADING THE LIFTING PLATFORM
t
IMPORTANT
t
Check that the safety instructions relating to the truck bed have been correctly applied before loading the lifting platform and ensure that the transport vehicle’s driver is
aware of the lifting platform’s dimensional characteristics and its weight.
(see the CHARACTERISTICS section).
- When loading the lifting platform on to a truck bed, the platform must be in Transport position:
• Counterweight facing the ramp (counterweight above the lifting platform’s steering wheels).
• Upper arm on its stop
• intermediate arm in the Low position
• Telescope retracted
• It is possible to raise the pendular arm so that it does not touch the ground but it is inadvisable to make a translation
movement with the basket raised excessively; keep the basket in the lowest possible position during manoeuvres
(danger of objects falling or impacts; see 1 - Safety Instructions and Advice; Driving Instructions section).
• Block the lifting platform’s turret from rotating by using the pin 1 (Fig. A (see the CONTROL INSTRUMENTS section,
paragraph: BLOCKING TURRET ROTATION)
• Use “Ramp” speed
t
IMPORTANT
t
Ensure that the truck bed is large enough and has a sufficient load capacity to transport the lifting platform.
Also check the truck bed’s permissible ground contact pressure with regard to the lifting platform.
t
IMPORTANT
t
There is a risk of the lifting platform losing adherence (sliding or slipping) when going up or down the loading
ramps, when these are wet, muddy or damp. It is therefore necessary to ensure the platform’s stability with a
winch attached to the lash-down points on the machine.
Loading
- Fix the loading ramps to the truck bed so as to have the smallest angle possible
for loading the machine.
- Chock the truck bed’s wheels 1.
t
IMPORTANT
t
Please adapt the lifting platform’s translation speed by controlling it with the translation joystick.
Procedure for folding the lifting platform
- Raise the upper arm.
- Extend slightly the telescop.
- Initiate the basket tilt movement to fold the basket under the upper arm.
- Lower the upper arm, paying attention not to hit the basket on the ground.
Initiate the basket tilt movement again to fold the basket to the maximum under
the upper arm.
Lashing down the lifting platform
- Set chocks on the truck bed on each of the lifting platform’s tyres, front and rear 1.
- Also set chocks on the truck bed on the inside and the outside of each tyre 2.
- Set chocks under the basket corners.
t
IMPORTANT
t
Do not lash the basket with ropes.
- Lash the lifting platform down on the truck bed with sufficiently strong ropes
3, to the front and the rear, passing the ropes through the slinging eyes.
