Tilt indication
The BENOMIC S is equipped with a sensor/alarm for both the lengthwise and lateral tilt,
with a visual warning signal, which may be supplemented with an acoustic warning signal.
For a complete overview of the visual and acoustic warning signals, refer to chapter 5.3.
The operation of the tilt indication should be checked monthly.
Put the BENOMIC S on a flat concrete floor, and operate the platform upwards to about
120 cm, using the scissor-control service button (2 and 3) as described in 8.1.1. Then put
a pallet jack on one side under the side cover of the BENOMIC S, increasing the tilt step
by step. During this test, the following acoustic signals should be heard:
• Slow bleeping; there is a skew position; be extra alert!
• Rapid bleeping; the tilt is critical; take action!
Establish whether the acoustic signals can be heard or not during this check; if so, the tilt
indication is approved.
It is forbidden to work with the BENOMIC S if the tilt indication is not working!
Consult your dealer if the tilt indication does not pass the periodic inspection!
the BENOMIC S reacts in the following order, if the pipes are not properly levelled;
If the platform is higher than 120cm:
When the platform is tilted, the orange indicator (11) flashes slowly, the horn beeps
slowly. Driving with the platform high is possible, be extra careful!
At a critical misalignment, the red indicator (11) lights up, the horn beeps rapidly and
driving is stopped immediately.
Proceed as follows:
• Lower the platform
• The horn stops beeping
• The red indicator (11) blinks cyclically 3 times
• Drive back until the green indicator is fully lit again
• Follow the recommendations below immediately
Follow-up action after exceeding the tilt:
The pipe rail system must be levelled before work may be resumed. First test the
prepared piece of rail by driving over it with the platform in the lowest position, at low
speed. If this gives no problems, test a second time with the platform raised and at
minimum speed. If no problems occur, normal operations can be resumed. Make sure you
have a solid and durable solution to the skew of the rails! Use a sound and sustainable
solution for resolving misalignment of the rails!
If the platform is lower than 120cm:
In case of critical misalignment, only the red indicator (11) will flash 3 times repeatedly,
the horn does not beep yet and driving remains possible.
In this situation the 'follow-up action after exceeding the skew' is necessary. Later in the
season (if the platform is higher than 120cm) the BENOMIC S will stop driving at this
position if the pipe rail system is still too skewed.
Caution!
By taking this preventive action, a future unsafe situation is prevented.
