_________________________________________________________________________________________ 5. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS The operator must know and follow all safety instructions. The operator must receive sufficient instructions in ordert to be able to use the lift correctly and safely. This Operators Manual must always be kept in the box on the platform. ATTENTION ! In order to prevent unpermitted use of the access platform, take the main battery disconnect key that is located on ground level and the engine ignition key, if fitted, with you after ending...
In order to ensure the safe operation of this access platform the manufacturer has conducted approved tests for the LEGUAN 125 in accordance with the standard EN280 +A2 : static stability test in accordance with paragraph 6.1.4.2.1 and dynamic overload tests in accordance with paragraph 6.1.4.3 of the EN280 +A2.
_________________________________________________________________________________________ 5.5 Electrocution hazard This access platform is not voltage insulated nor protected against contact with voltage carrying parts, or when approaching them. Do not touch the machine if it comes in contact with voltage carrying electric line. Persons on the platform or at ground level must not touch or operate the platform before power has been cut off from the electric line.
_________________________________________________________________________________________ 6. CONTROLS 6.1 Controls at platform The controls and indicators on the control panel at platform may be slightly different in different models. Indicators and switches that are marked as options are not mounted on all models.. 15 14 13 12 1.
_________________________________________________________________________________________ 6.2 Controls at ground level 6.2.1 Battery disconnect switch at ground level Battery disconnect switch connects and disconnects the circuit from the + line of the battery. When main current is switched off, all low voltage functions are cut off, except for emergency lowering.
_________________________________________________________________________________________ 6.2.4 230V connection and switches 1. 230V 50Hz, 16A connecting cable: either on the side of chassis or in the rear next to electric motor. 2. Switch of residual current device. The switch must be in ”ON” position in order that any 230V device will work, including the 230V outlets.
_________________________________________________________________________________________ 7. STARTING THE ENGINE / ELECTRIC MOTOR Read carefully this Operators Manual and also the Operators Manual for the engine before starting operation. Read and understand all safety instructions before starting operation. It is the operator’s responsibility to follow all operating and safety instructions. This access platform is destined for lifting of persons and additional load only.
– start the driving carefully and at low speed. Transmission of the LEGUAN 125 is hydrostatic. Each wheel is equipped with a hydraulic motor - the machine is four wheel drive. If the machine is equipped with rubber tracks there are two hydraulic motors in the track system.
_________________________________________________________________________________________ 8.1 Defining the gradient of the slope Measure the slope with a digital clinometer, or do as follows: Take a water level, a straight piece of wood at least 1 m long, and a pocket tape measure. Put the wood stick on the gradient. Put the water level on the lower edge of the stick and lift the stick until it is in horizontal position.

_________________________________________________________________________________________ 8.2.1 Instructions for working environment In order to increase the lifespan of the track system avoid driving on the following terrains or work sites: Environments with crushed stone, iron bars, scrap metal or similar recycling material. Rubber tracks are not designed for this kind of environments. ...
LED indicators are still lit, press sharply on all four outrigger control levers. ATTENTION! If the green indicator of boom lifting is lit when the outriggers are not correctly deployed, the operation of this access platform is not allowed! Contact nearest Leguan service!
– or then it is lit all the time, operation must be stopped and function of the indicator and the system must me checked. 6. LEGUAN 125 is also equipped with an overload control system which prevents boom movements in case the 200 kg safe working load is exceeded, or in case the telescopic boom comes out more than allowed when load on the platform is over 135 kg.
_________________________________________________________________________________________ 11. EMERGENCY LOWERING If the power supply for some reason cuts off (e.g. no fuel or electricity cuts off, or connecting cable fails) the booms can be lowered as follows 1. The lift is equipped with an electric emergency lowering system. There are emergency lowering buttons both on the platform and at ground level.
_________________________________________________________________________________________ 13. TRANSPORTING INSTRUCTIONS Lower the booms down to transport position and lift the outriggers completely up to transport position. ATTENTION! Transporting of the access platform is allowed in transport position only. No persons or materials are allowed to be transported on the platform. The outriggers are equipped with lifting points from which the machine can be lifted if necessary.
Make sure that all stickers are in their place and readable. ATTENTION! All spare parts – especially electric components and sensors – must be original Leguan parts. Always remember when handling the battery: Battery contains corrosive sulfuric acid – handle the battery with care! When handling the battery wear protective clothing and eyewear.

_________________________________________________________________________________________ 15. SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS 15.1 Greasing of the machine Greasing of the machine is of utmost importance in order to prevent wear in joints. Most of the joints are service free - however the pressure roller bearing of slewing on pedestal must be greased in accordance with the maintenance schedule, with grease containing EP (extreme pressure) additive.
LEDs now light up and the green indicator doesn’t, the set up system works correctly. After this the setting of outriggers can be done as usual. ATTENTION! If the set up control system doesn’t work correctly, contact Leguan service. It is not allowed to use this access platform, and the failure/defect must be repaired before starting operation.

_________________________________________________________________________________________ All cylinders – except for the self levelling ”slave” cylinder – are equipped with load holding valves (no. 1 in the picture left), which prevent cylinder movements in case e.g. a hydraulic hose fails. When using emergency lowering of the booms, the electric solenoid valve in the cylinder (no.
<135 kg indicator goes out when there is clearly over 135 kg load on the platform, operation of the machine must be stopped immediately. Contact Leguan service. NEVER EXCEED SAFE WORKING LOAD!
_________________________________________________________________________________________ 15.10 Electric sensors Transport position sensor S8 is located inside the transport support at the front of the chassis. See picture left. Lower transport position sensor S4 is mounted on the adjustable transport support between the chassis and combustion engine, see picture below.
_________________________________________________________________________________________ 15.11 Check and adjustment of track tension Check and adjust track tension with the outriggers deployed and tracks lifted off the ground. First track tension check and eventual adjustment shall be made after first hour of operation. After that track tension shall be checked, and adjusted if needed, once a week.
_________________________________________________________________________________________ 16. REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS 16.1 Welding All load carrying steel parts are manufactured from S420MC EN10149 sheet and S420MH/S355J2H EN10219 tube. Welding repairs are only allowed to be carried out by professional welders. When welding, use only methods and additives suited for above mentioned steel qualities.
