I n s t r u c t i o n s f o r U s e Section Maintenance Outriggers and/or beams out of position The red light H3 on the cabin control panel turns on if the outriggers and/or beams should be out of position (not totally retracted).
I n s t r u c t i o n s f o r U s e Section Maintenance Stabiliser interblocking According to current standards it is possible to start stabiliser/cross beam movement for the truck only if the platform is closed on its support. The system detects the position of the boom through the readings from the sensors present in the system.
I n s t r u c t i o n s f o r U s e Section Maintenance Elevating Operations Consent It is designed to allow for the lifting platform to be operated only once the machine has been stabilised. A microswitch is fitted onto each stabiliser foot, which detects whether the stabiliser itself is resting on the ground.
(independently from the will of the operator), select the opposite correction by means of the selector SC10. If this does not work, activate the emergency button, retract the platform to safety conditions and contact the CTE authorised workshop immediately.
- The loosening or braking of one of the chains is detected by a microswitch (see pic. A and B), that will block the extension manouvres. In that case it is necessary to immediately contact an authorized workshop CTE to change the chains or to replace the chain links.
I n s t r u c t i o n s f o r U s e Section Maintenance Manual emergency pump The manual emergency pump PM1 is fitted on the right side, beside the stabilising controls. UM0091 ATTENTION Only use it when the main pump is malfunctioning.
I n s t r u c t i o n s f o r U s e Section Maintenance Safety harnesses The car is fitted with two attachments onto which the safety harnesses of the operators (or operator) in the car should be hooked. It is in fact compulsory to start operation only once the safety harnesses have been hooked onto the purpose provided safety attachments.
