Caution!
Do not raise the platform unless the machine is on a hard, firm and level

3.3.1 - Checking the inclination

Do not consider the slope alarm as a level indicator. In the work position (above
1.50 metres), the tilt monitor box gives a signal audible from the platform when
the maximum permissible inclination is reached.
If this situation persists, after a time delay of 1 to 2 seconds, the platform's
elevating and travel controls are cut off (lower the platform again in order to be
able to travel again).
Caution!
Risk of overturning when the buzzer sounds.
NOTE : It is essential to check operation every day at the time of the verifi-
cations before putting into service.

3.3.2 - Travel speeds

• The high travel speed is authorized when the lift is in the low position or be-
low 1.50 metres.
• The low speed is possible when the platform is in the low position or below
1.50 metres.
• The crawling speed is triggered automatically when the platform is above
1.50 metres.

3.3.3 - Pothole safety system

When the platform is raised above 1.50 metres, the pothole protection system
deploys itself automatically. Only the crawling speed is then possible in travel.
They retract automatically when the platform is lowered below 1.50 metres and
when high- or low-speed drive is engaged. If the pothole safety systems are not
deployed, the crawling speed and raising are automatically cut off.
Caution!
Do not put your feet towards the pothole safety systems, so as to avoid

3.3.4 - Platform load control

If an overload is detected on the platform, no movement can be performed from
the upper control station. The overload light indicator on the platform panel and
the buzzer alert the operator.The load needs to be removed from the platform, so
that all the controls can become operational again.
To return to normal configuration, it is necessary either:
• lighten the platform to return to a permitted working load
• use the turret control unit, knowing that the movements will be slowed down
In standard , the load control is done by a pressure limiter
With the electronic overload system option, the load control is done by analogic
angle and pressure transducers and an electronic board
surface.
