Sinoboom 1323RD - Driving on a Slope; Extending and Retracting the Platform

© Mar. 2022 7-4 1323RD&1623RD Operation Manual
OPERATING THE MACHINE
TIPPING HAZARD
The machine must travel at low
speed when tilted.
In case of a tipping alarm, all other
operations are prohibited except
lowering the machine. The tipping
hazard must be removed before
continuing the operation.
1. The machine in stowed position can travel at two
speed modes (high/low speed).
2. In the process of traveling, push the high/low drive
speed select switch to select the desired drive
speed. When the low drive speed button is lit, the
low drive speed mode will be active. When the low
drive speed button goes out, the high drive speed
mode will be active.
The machine in operating position can only travel at low
speed, and pushing the high/low drive speed select
switch will not enable the high speed mode.
If the red indicator light comes on:
Push in and pull out the emergency stop button to reset
the system.
If the action above fails, tag and remove the machine
from service.
DRIVING ON A SLOPE
Before driving on a slope:
1. Determine the gradeability (climbing ability) of the
machine.
2.
MODELS MAX SLOPE RATING
1323RD 50%/26°
1623RD 40%/22°
3. Ensure the machine is in stowed position.
4. Ensure the slope angle is smaller than the angle of
the machine’s climbing capacity.
NOTICE
Gradeability refers to the maximum permissible
percentage of the slope (referred to as slope grade
below) when the machine is on solid ground with
sufficient traction and the platform is carrying only
one person. As the weight of the machine’s platform
increases, the machine’s gradeability will be
decreased. The machine gradeability is subject to
ground conditions and traction.
To determine the slope grade:
Measure the slope grade using a digital slope gauge or
following the procedure below:
1. Prepare a carpenter’s level, a straight piece of
wood (at least 1 m [3.3 ft] long) and a tape
measure.
2. Measure the height (H) and length (L) of the slope.
Figure 7-2
3. Slope grade=H/L×100%.
If the slope grade exceeds the maximum upslope or
downslope rating, then the machine must be lifted or
transported up or down the slope. See the Transporting
and Lifting the Machine section.
NOTICE
The machine must not travel for over 2min on the
maximum permissible slope grade to prevent the
tires running suspended, and the temperature of
motor housing shall not exceed 70℃.
EXTENDING AND
RETRACTING THE
PLATFORM
1. Raise the platform extension locking handle to
horizontal.
2. Push the handle to extend the platform to the
intended position. Do not stand in the platform
extension while attempting to extend the platform.
