Checking The Outriggers; Checking The Telescope - Kesla XS 190 Operation & Maintenance Manual

CHECKING THE OUTRIGGERS

Check the functioning of the outrigger safety limits by extending the outriggers to the
supporting position (wheels are off the ground). In this position, the boom can be operated.
The outriggers have ground and position sensors; therefore a force of at least 6 kg (13,2
lbs) must be applied on the outriggers. The outriggers must be turned from the transport
position at least 75° towards the ground because of the functioning of the position sensor.
Checking the operation of the ground sensor once a week. The alarm signal should sound
if one of the outriggers is disengaged because of the quality of the ground or an uneven
set up.
- Set the Access Platform up in the supported position with wheels approx. 100 mm
off the ground.
- Lift one outrigger slightly off the ground.
- Try to lift the boom. The boom must not rise, if the Access Platform is not correctly
supported.
- Ask another person to raise the outrigger manually or using for instance a piece of
wood. Then lift the boom slightly off the transport support.
- Ask him to release the outrigger. The alarm should now sound and the upward
movements of the boom should be prevented. The alarm sound stops when the outrigger
is lowered back on the ground.
- Repeat the same for all outriggers.
If one outrigger or all of them does not work properly or if the alarm does not sound, the
Access Platform must not be used before the fault has been repaired.
When the sole of one or more outriggers is off the ground and the power is switched on
and the pedal is pressed, the alarm sounds. This does not prevent the use of the Access
Platform.

CHECKING THE TELESCOPE

Support the Access Platform on the outriggers so that the wheels are about 100 mm off
the ground.
The platform must be empty during this test.
Extend the jib to an angle of 45º with respect to the boom according to the markings at the
end of the jib and the boom, see fig. on page 18, item C. Lift the boom off the transport
support and turn the boom about 10 degrees to the left. Lower the boom completely.
Switch off the combustion engine by turning the ignition switch in the platform to OFF.
Move the ignition key to the control box of the turntable. Start the engine.
While being in the lower control position, lift the boom to horizontal position, see fig. on
page 18, item D.
Extend the telescope boom continuously until the load control stops the extension
movement.
