4.4.3.2 -Procedure

Raising.
• Select the " elevating " mode using the switch (see Photo 9, page 34, item
2).
• Operate the manipulator to raise the lift after depressing the "dead-man's
handle" (see Photo 9, page 34, item 5).
Lowering.
• Operate the manipulator to lower the lift after depressing the "dead-man's
handle" (see Photo 9, page 34, item 5).
During lowering at the height of 1.5 metres, a time delay of 3 to 5 seconds is
triggered so as to verify that no-one is under the machine so as not to have any
risk of crushing. Lowering finishes with the alarm.
Travel.
Travel is done using the manipulator after depressing the " dead-man's handle ".
Two speeds are possible in the lift's bottom position or below 1.5 metres (high and
low speed). These two speeds need to be selected using the switch (see Photo 9,
page 34, item 2).
When the lift is elevated above 1.5 metres, only the crawling speed is possible.
Steering can be carried out simultaneously using the switch on the top of the
manipulator.
