SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL EXAMPLE OF INSPECTION FOR WEAR > Pins turned indicate an incorrect lubrication and a risk of seizure. > Loose pins. It happens when the pins are turned or when the joints are rigid. > Cracked plate due to hydrogen. This is often caused by cold or steam cleaning.
SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL 1.4. PLATFORM AND PLATFORM SUPPORT 1.4.1 PLATFORM The machine is fitted with a stand alone platform. It can be removed quickly without removing the hydraulic or electric controls. No particular maintenance is required. Fig 1 Fig 2 PLATFORM REMOVAL - Loosen and remove the 4 locknuts on the U-clamps (Fig.1).
Page 56
SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL Fig 3 Fig 4 - Tilt the platform to release it from the platform support to prevent damages with removing it. (Fig.3 and 4). PLATFORM INSTALLATION - Tilt the platform to fit the controls correctly. - Lower the platform. - Install the U-clamps on the platform while holding it tight on its support.
The machine structure is made of all welded steel with special profiles and specific steel grades. Elements of this structure therefore cannot be modified or replaced without prior approval by Atn. It is advised to visually inspect every 6 months the different elements to detect potential faults.
Page 58
SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL PLATFORM SUPPORT - Inspect the welds around the control support plate. - Inspect the welds around support plate tubes. - Inspect the welds around the jib and tie rod pin. - Inspect the welds around the pin bearing. - Inspect the welds of the platform support.
SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL 1.6. TORQUE VALUES Use of proper torque values is extremely important. Improper torquing can seriously affect performance and reliability. - NOTE - Some special applications require variation from the standard torque values. Reference should always be made to component overhaul procedures for recommendations. If one of the element has been protected (either bolt or nut), the value must be multiplied by 0.90.
SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL 2.1. HYDRAULIC POWER UNIT DESCRIPTION DANGER The machine is fitted with a power unit consisting of BEFORE ANY MAINTENANCE, ENSURE a pump and a 24V fan-cooled motor. It is located on ELECTRIC SYSTEM the left hand side of the machine. DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SUPPLY.
Page 61
SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL EXCESSIVE HEAT Excessive heat usually results from a relief valve set too low. If a relief valve is set too low, part of the oil will be dumped by the relief valve at each cycle. In this case, the machine will be very slow. OIL PRESSURE TOO HIGH There are two possible reasons: (a) the relief valve does not function, producing an extreme surge and immediate failure, or...
Page 62
SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL IF THE OIL HEATS UP: Relief valve set too low Incorrect oil type. Faulty component. Solutions: ◘ Check the setting of the relief valve using a pressure gauge and adjust if necessary. ◘ If incorrect oil type, drain and fill with recommended oil. Refer to the “Lubrication” section. ◘...
Page 63
SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL IF THERE IS NO PRESSURE The pump does not deliver fluid or fluid returns to the tank and does not travel to the components. Solutions: ◘ If fluid returns to the tank and does not go to the components, check the relief valve settings.
SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL OIL CHANGE AND OIL FILTER REPLACEMENT The first oil change and oil filter replacement should be done after the first 50 hours of operation. Thereafter, the oil should be changed every 250 hours of operation. It is recommended to change the oil and replace the filter when the machine oil is warm.

SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL Ensure the can is filled with distilled water to its WARNING maximum level. Connect the filling hose to the can. The electrolyte level is correct when the balls in CHECK THE ELECTROLYTE LEVEL the indicator stop turning. ONLY AFTER THE CHARGE.
Page 69
SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL FREEZING POINT Ex: When the battery electrolyte has a gravity of 1.075, its freezing point is -5°C. When the battery is fully charged, the electrolyte gravity is approximately 1.28, its freezing point is -85°C. Therefore the more the battery is charged, the less it is likely to freeze. - NOTE - The battery must be fully charged when the machine is operated in a cold chamber or outside in cold weather conditions.
SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL TROUBLESHOOTING If small problems encountered on a battery are rapidly and correctly determined, battery life can be improved. PREVENTION = AUTONOMY AND LONG LIFE SYMPTOM PROBABLE CAUSES SOLUTIONS Cells overfilled Never exceed the maximum level Overheat Check the charger capacity.

SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL 3.4. ELECTRIC MOTOR The electric motor, coupled to an hydraulic pump is a 24V motor. It requires little maintenance. However every 100 hours and at least once a month, you should blow air through the ventilation holes to remove dirt and brushes dust.
SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL 3.6. TILT INDICATOR When the platform is 2° off the horizontal, the sensor actuates the acoustic alarm and the corresponding indicator on the upper control panel. The machine switches automatically to slow speed. Actuation of these alarms indicates the machine has reached its stability limits. It is therefore necessary to control this sensor each day before the machine is used.
SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL CHAIN SLACK SENSOR CONTROL PROCEDURE Place a block between the actuator and the sensor to activate the sensor. Ensure the emergency stop switches are pulled out. The indicator, corresponding to the chain slack detection on the upper control box must light The buzzer sounds.
