Therefore the description of their components, as well as control and safety systems, may include parts not present on Your machine since supplied on request or not available. In order to keep pace with the technical development AIRO-Tigieffe s.r.l. reserves the right to modify the product and/or the use and maintenance manual at any time without updating the units already delivered.
Page 7: Further Periodical Checks
1.1.2.2. Further periodical checks Yearly checks are compulsory. In Italy the Aerial Platform owner must apply for a periodical check - by registered letter - to the local competent inspection board (ASL/USL or other qualified public or private services) at least twenty days before the expiry of the year from the last check.
Page 8: Leaving At Height
Do not use the machine for purposes other than those for which it was designed, except after making a request and having obtained written permission in this sense from the manufacturer 1.3.1. Leaving at height The mobile elevating work platforms are not designed by taking into account the risks of the “leaving at height” because the only access position considered is when the platform is completely lowered.
Page 9: Control Panels
The hydraulic cylinders which move the articulated structure (except for the boom tilt sensor cylinder) are provided with over- centre valves directly flanged on the same. These devices allow the booms to remain in position even if one of the supply tubes accidentally breaks.
Page 10: Identification
1.8. Identification In order to identify the machine, when spare parts and service are required, always mention the information given in the serial number plate. Should this plate (as well as the various stickers applied on the machine) be lost or illegible, it is to be replaced as soon as possible.

Page 31: Safety Precautions
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 3.1. Personal protective equipment (PPE) Always wear personal protective equipment according to current regulations concerning industrial health and safety (in particular, hard hat and safety shoes are COMPULSORY). It is the operator or safety manager’s responsibility to choose the personal protective equipment (PPE) depending on the activity to be carried out.

Page 35: Pressure Of The Machine On Ground And Load-Bearing Capacity Of Ground
3.3.5. Pressure of the machine on ground and load-bearing capacity of ground Before using the machine, the operator must make sure the floor is suitable for withstanding the specific loads and pressures on the ground with a certain safety margin. The following chart provides the parameters in play and two examples of calculation of the average pressure on the ground below the machine and max pressure underneath the wheels or stabilizers (p1 and p2).
Page 36: High-Tension Lines
The table below shows the load-bearing capacity of the ground split up by ground type. Refer to the data contained in the specific tables of each model (chapter 2, TECHNICAL FEATURES OF STANDARD MACHINES) to obtain the figure relating to the max pressure on the ground caused by the single wheel. Using the machine is forbidden if the max ground pressure per wheel is higher than the bearing capacity of the specific type of ground on which the machine is to be used.
