If you notice faults or missing equipment on this access platform, do not use the machine before the faults have been corrected. Never set the access platform up in a place where the ground may be too soft.
CONTROLS AND SWITCHES Control devices on the platform The platform’s controls and indicators on the control panel may be slightly different in different models. Indicators and switches that are marked as optional are not installed on all models. Figure 7 Platform control panel 1.
If the red fault light blinks, return booms onto their transport positions, perform daily inspection and remove possible cause of the error. If the problem persists, contact your Leguan dealer. When a FAULT occurs, the red fault light will stay ON continuously.
Return booms on their transport supports, stop working with the equipment and contact your local Leguan dealer. Possible errors and faults can be diagnosed with a separate service display (option). Fault light BLINKS_INTERMITTENT (option).
Boom centre position indicator (slewing) The slew ring of the access platform is equipped with inductive sensor which lights the green boom centre position indicator light whenever the 1 boom is above the transport support. Indicator light is only an aid and does not guarantee that booms will lower straight to transport supports.
230 V connections and switches Leguan 135 NEO can be powered by an electric motor (optional item). The standard motor must be connected to a 230 V / 50 Hz / 16 A outlet. Connections and switches pictured below. 1. 230 V / 50 Hz / 16 A connection lead 2.
OPERATION Read this Operator’s Manual and the Operator’s Manual for the engine carefully before commencing operation. Read the safety instructions in this manual and make sure you understand them before commencing operation. It is the operator’s responsibility to understand and follow all operating and safety instructions. An access platform is designed only for the lifting of persons and their equipment;...
Drive When transferring the platform, pay attention to the following factors: Do not exceed maximum inclination for the drive. Make sure the driving surface is solid. Secure tools and other materials to prevent them from falling or shifting. Operator should wear safety harnesses and keep them fastened whenever operating the machine.
Determining 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. Place the wood on the gradient. Put the water level on the lower edge of the stick and lift the stick until it is in a horizontal position.
Guidelines: Operating environment of an access platform with tracks To extend 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 such environments. Daily/continuous driving on asphalt or concrete.
Use of outriggers The outriggers must be deployed, and the chassis of the access platform must be levelled before any boom operations. The chassis can be levelled by either using automatic levelling function or controlling individual outriggers manually. The maximum allowed levelling inaccuracy is 1,0°.
Setting the outriggers to transport position Lower all booms on to their transport supports. Green indicator light of boom transport support (see 4.1.6) and boom centre position must be lit. Press the upper button of the automatic levelling switch (Figure 7 (18)). The button doesn’t need to be held down.
(Figure 7 (14)) Leguan 135 NEO has a unique Home Switch (Figure 7 (7)), which can be used to drive the booms to transport position. See chapter 5.4.2. Beware of your surroundings when using this function! Collision with buildings and other surroundings can cause the lift to fall over and cause serious damage to people and property around the lift.
Back to work position Back to work position-function is activated by turning the Back to work position/Home-switch (figure 7, switch 7) counter clockwise to Back to work position-position and holding it there while using the function. When using the function boom will move automatically to position from where Home-function where activated last time after using the joystick.
Additional instructions for winter use The minimum allowed operating temperature for the access platform is -20 °C. Do the following actions during winter time: Check that the limit switches are free from snow, ice and dirt. Let the engine run for a few minutes before moving the machine. First use drive mode for a while to warm the hydraulic oil.
BACK-UP LOWERING AND EMERGENCY USE Functions described in chapter 6 are for emergency and fault situation use only! Normal operation is not allowed using the functions mentioned in this chapter. Back-up lowering procedure If the operating power supply cuts off (fuel running out, power cut or damage to the extension cord), the booms can be lowered as follows: Back-up lowering button is located on the platform control panel and and back-up lowering switch is located in the lower controls panel.
Override of boom safety functions when motor is running For possible emergencies this access platform is equipped with a safety functions override switch (p. 20, figure 8, switch 2), which enables boom movements without outriggers being correctly set down. This function can be used for example in a situation when booms have moved off their transport support during transportation.
drive prevention speed selector switch Override of transport position monitoring The transport position of the booms can be overridden with the override switch in the lower controls panel. This enables outrigger operation even if the booms are not in transport position or if the sensor monitoring transport position is faulty.

separate power source and cables to activate the valves. The ignition switch (p.20, figure 8) must be turned off before following this procedure! To use emergency lowering without the logic controller, use separate wires to connect a 12 VDC battery to the coils of the control valve block you wish to use (e.g. boom lift valve). It is possible to use either the starter battery of the access platform or a different external battery.
TRANSPORTATION The chassis and outriggers are equipped with lifting and binding points which are indicated with symbols. The machine may only be secured for transport from these binding points. The machine must always be lifted from the designated lifting points. When lifting, it is advisable to use a lifting beam to prevent the outriggers from getting damaged.
Make sure that all labels are in place and readable. NOTE! All spare parts – especially electric components and sensors – must be original Leguan parts. Battery handling When handling the battery, bear in mind that: The battery contains corrosive sulfuric acid – handle the battery with care! When handling the battery, wear protective clothing and eyewear.
If any signs of a leak are observed, place a piece of cardboard underneath the suspected component to determine the source. If you find a fault, operation of the access platform must be stopped immediately and the hose or the component must be replaced. Contact the Leguan service.
SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS Maintenance and inspections, service schedule Regarding the service of the engine, also see the engine manufacturer’s Operator’s Manual. EM = engine manual = check = clean = replace = adjust = first service after 50 h 200 h / 12 400 h / 24 Measure month...
Greasing Greasing of the machine is of utmost importance to prevent wear in joints. Most of the joints are service free - however the slewing bearings must be greased in accordance with the maintenance schedule, using grease that contains EP (extreme pressure) additive. Outrigger bearings and articulation bearings in all hydraulic cylinders must be greased in accordance with the maintenance schedule.
Greasing of the slew ring The slewing ring of the access platform must be greased monthly, according to the maintenance schedule. It is important to notice that the slewing ring has four (4) separate greasing points (Figure 15) which all must be greased individually. There are 3 grease nipples on the backside of the slewing ring are connected to the gear and its bearings.
Grease nipples are located on both ends of the telescopic boom. One grease nipple is located under the telescopic boom in the platform end of the boom (Figure 16). Two more nipples are located under a protective cover in the front end of the upper boom (Figure 17). Greasing of Telescoping Booms Glide surfaces of the telescoping booms (bottom surface, picture 18) should be greased with water resistant grease (e.g.
Handling of fuel and refuelling Check the fuel level and refuel if necessary (1). Before refuelling, check whether the engine runs on petrol or diesel. Petrol specified by the manufacturer in its manual must be used in a machine with a petrol engine. Figure 19 Combustion engine Hydraulic oil and hydraulic oil filter replacement The hydraulic return oil filter (figure 20, (1)) is located on the side of the oil tank inside the...
Hydraulic oil level The level of hydraulic oil can be checked from the oil level sight glass. The sight glass is located in the right side of the chassis, between the wheels or track wheels (Figure 21 (1)). The oil level should be at the top of the sight glass when the access platform is in transport position.
Functioning of set up system Outriggers are monitored with an inductive switch. There is one switch in each outrigger which tracks whether an outrigger has been set to the ground or not. Monitoring is based on a spring- loaded pin, which is pushed up when an outrigger is laid on the ground. Switches location in the outrigger pictured below (Figure 23 (1)).
Hydraulic system settings The hydraulic system has been adjusted to correct values at the factory and usually there is no need to adjust them. All boom cylinders are equipped with two load control valves (Figure 24 (1)) which prevent boom movements in case of, for example, a hydraulic hose failure. Figure 24 Cylinder hydraulic manifolds.
Overload protection components Overload control has been set to the correct values at the factory and it is strictly forbidden to change its settings. THERE IS A RISK OF THE ACCESS PLATFORM TIPPING OVER! Overload control mechanism is located between the working platform and the platform support (Figure 25).
Electric sensors Transport position monitoring Transport position of the access platform is tracked by three sensors: slewing angle sensor (Figure 26, (1)), which activates when the slewing ring is in the middle position. Upper boom sensor (Figure 27, (1)) tracking the position of the telescope and the boom angle. Combined with the upper boom sensor is a capacitive sensor (2), which monitors the condition of the upper boom sensor’s measuring wire.
Levelling monitoring This access platform is equipped with automatic and manual levelling and the state of levelling is monitored with an inclination sensor. The sensor is located inside the connection box on the right side of the chassis (figure 31). Similar sensor also tracks the angle of the platform and the platforms automatic levelling is based on it.
Figure 31 Leguan 135 NEO tracks To inspect the tightness of the tracks: Raise the access platform off the ground using the outriggers. The tracks should be off the ground minimum 5 cm. The tightness is correct if the gap between the track and the track...
