5.4 FUNCTIONAL TEST
Before performing the functional test:
• Choose a solid, flat and horizontal test area.
• Make sure there are no obstructions in the test area.
For telescopic boom with three or more
segments, when checking the extending/
retracting function of the boom, ensure that all
boom segments extend/retract together at the
same speed. In case of any abnormality, there
may be a delay in movement and loose wire
ropes. Please immediately lower the platform to
the stowed position, turn off the machine, and
have the wire rope inspected and repaired by a
qualified service technician.
If any switch/handle returns to the neutral
position and the corresponding movement does
not stop, remove the foot from the foot switch or
pull out the emergency stop button to stop the
machine.
NOTICE
• When the emergency power is in use, do not per-
form two or more functions at the same time, be-
cause certain function operation may have no
response due to small flow in the emergency mo-
tor or pump.
• The emergency power switch can only be used for
a short time (to fully lower and retract the platform
from the maximum angle and maximum length)
when the main power source is not working, be-
cause long-time operation may bring damage to
the motor.
Follow these steps to perform the functional test:
1. With no load applied on the platform, turn the
ground/platform control selector switch on the
ground controller to the ground control position, pull
out the emergency stop button on the ground con-
troller, and perform the following tests from the
ground controller:
1) Make sure that the relevant indicator lights on
the display are on and that no error or alarm
message is displayed during the entire functional
test.
2) Make sure that when the emergency stop button
on the ground controller is pressed, the control-
ler will be powered off, the machine cannot be
started and all functions cannot work.
3) Make sure that the horn sounds properly when
the horn button is pressed.
