All the recommendations and rules from the Manufacturer
to work wisely and consciously in any time and situation.
What should be known before starting the machine?
• The LMI is supplied with a key for shut-down function by-passing.
• In normal working operations, this key must be positioned not to by-pass shut-down..
• It’s forbidden to use the key to lift loads exceeding the loads values allowed by the
Manufacturer.
• The key can be used only when an emergency/malfunctioning occurs or a situation
justifying its use.
• Only Authorised Personnel is allowed to the use of the key; they are also responsible for it.
• The LMI has a powerful FAIL-SAFE auto diagnosis program suitable to verify its good
operations and the one of its transducers.
In case a trouble has been detected, the LMI puts itself in a safe state by stopping the
manoeuvres (please see the AUTODIAGNOSTIC chapter).
• In spite of this, the Operator, before starting the operation with the machine, must take
care that the LMI is working correctly.
To do this, he must verify the validity of the displayed values by doing some tests.
He must verify that there are not messages or alarm indications; he must verify the correct
operation of the manoeuvre stopping functions.
• The operator is responsible for the correct setting of the machine load table and therefore
for the right LMI set.
When switching-on the machine the last selected Table is kept valid, to allow Operator
check.
• About this, please follow the instructions given in the OPERATING MODE SELECTION
chapter. An incorrect setting of the tables, can cause an incorrect LMI operation and
therefore can provoke a dangerous situation for the machine.
• Operating conditions usually change when:
Further attachment are fitted or removed ( jib counterweight) and relevant Table
selecting mode is set on the control panel.
Outriggers Extension / Withdrawn, Turret Front/360° rotation , On Wheels/Outriggers,
operating Modes are set in automatic way by micro-switches.
Generally, it’s compulsory to follow the Manufacturer instructions and
procedures at any time.
