4.4.2 - Operations from the ground

(see Photo 8, page 34)

4.4.2.1 -Recommendations

Dangers of crushing:
• Keep your hands and limbs away from the cross-pieces.
• Use common sense and good preparation when operating the machine with
the ground control. Keep a safe distance between the machine and fixed
obstacles.
• From the controls situated on the chassis, only the elevating and lowering
controls are possible.

4.4.2.2 -Procedure

Raising:
• Pull the circuit-breaker.
• Turn the key (on the chassis side) holding it so as to see the five LEDs come
on according to the charge in the batteries (see Photo 8, item 4).
• Holding the key (on the chassis side), raise the platform for simple verifica-
tion or for a rescue using the switch (see Photo 8, item 3).
• In order to stop an operation, release the key or the switch.
Lowering:
• Pull the circuit-breaker.
• Turn the key (on the chassis side) holding it so as to see the five LEDs come
on according to the charge in the batteries (see Photo 8, item 4).
• Holding the key (on the chassis side), lower the platform for simple verifica-
tion or for a rescue using the switch (see Photo 8, item 3). Lowering finishes
with the alarm.
• In order to stop an operation, release the key or the switch.

4.4.3 - Operation from the platform

(see Photo 9, page 34)
4.4.3.1 -Recommendations:
• Do not operate the machine if the guard rails are not correctly installed and
if the entrance is not closed in the operating position.
• Beware of reduced visibility and blind spots when travelling or when opera-
ting the machine.
• Make sure that the platform is correctly positioned in extension when moving
the machine.
• Operators are strongly recommended to wear an officially approved helmet
when operating the machine.
• Inspect the work place, looking for overhead obstructions or other possible
dangers.
• Do not drive the machine acrobatically and do not sit astride the machine.
• Adapt the travel speed to suit the conditions of the ground, traffic and slope,
the position of people and any other factor which could cause a collision.
• Do not operate a machine where a crane or other machine is operating high
up, except if the crane's controls have been locked and/or precautions have
been taken to avoid any collision.
The platform emergency stop cuts the line switch (battery breaker).
