3.4. PLATFORM STARTING PROCEDURE
Especially after a period of inactivity, before starting the engine it is recommended to
check all the safety devices and controls.
Some of these controls can be fulfi lled with the machine off, other controls after the
stabilisers positioning. For the fi rst ones:
1) check the fuel level;
2) check the hydraulic oil level;
3) check the electrolyte level and batteries charge;
4) check the track condition;
5) check the stop buttons on the two controls panels of the main dashboard
6) check the booms extension chains integrity and tension (the chains must remain ten-
se to the touch and not loosen during boom extension and retraction).
WARNING:
Don’t start the platform in case of any irregularity
3.5. USE WITH DIESEL ENGINE
The machine has 2 or 3 power sources (380V motor is optional); one is independent
generated by the diesel engine.
This is used for the machine downloading from the truck and for the long transfers to-
wards the working sites.
It can be used also for aerial work if the noise and gas emissions are not dangerous for
the working site.
The diesel engine offers the advantage of faster movements of tracks and boom and
energy saving.
To start the activity with this power source, proceed as following:
• Turn on the engine from the main desk (part 1 Fig. 3.2 or Fig. 3.3) in 1 position
( oil and tension lamps switches on).
• Turn the key to start the engine
• Leave the engine turning some minutes (at least 5 minutes in witnter temperatu-
res)
• If it turns off after few minutes, wait at least 20 seconds before restarting it, be-
cause the protection of its switch prevent from near restarting
• The engine is adjusted at a constant speed for aerial working, while during the
transfer the tracks increases the rpm automatically if the speed selector switch on
the controls panesl is on “rabbit”
• To stop it, push the red “STOP” button situated on one of the controls sites or re-
set the key on the general panel; remember to unlock the “STOP” button, sligthly
rotating it otherwise the engine don’t turn on from any other manoeuvring site.
