S SUITABILITY FOR US - MANITOU has ensured that this platform is suitable for use under the standard operating conditions defined in this operator’s manual, with an overload test coefficient of 1,25 and an operational test coefficient of 1,1, as stipulated in standardised norm EN 280 for MPLPs (Mobile Personnel Lifting Platforms).
- The machines designed by MANITOU are designed to be used in the following temperature range: • Minimum temperature: -20°C • Maximum temperature: +45°C - Special features are available, as an option, for particularly cold environments. For operation under average climatic conditions, i.e. : between -15 °C and + 35 °C, correct levels of lubricants in all the circuits are checked in production.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE OPERATOR REAMBLE WHENEVER YOU SEE THIS SYMBOL IT MEANS : WARNING ! BE CAREFUL ! YOUR SAFETY OR THE SAFETY OF THE PLATFORM IS AT RISK. The risk of accident while using, servicing or repairing your platform can be restricted if you follow the safety instructions and safety measures detailed in these instruction.
Page 11
C - M AINTENANCE - The operator must immediately advise his superior if his platform is not in good working order or does not comply with the safety notice. - The operator is prohibited from carrying out any repairs or adjustments himself, unless he has been trained for this purpose. He must keep the platform properly cleaned if this is among his responsibilities.
- Safety helmets must be worn. - MANITOU recommends a safety harness in the operator’s size be provided when the platform is in use (for the harness attachement in the basket , see chapter 2 - DESCRIPTION, CHECKING AND CONTROL INSTRUMENTS pages).
Page 13
- Do not allow anybody to come near the working area of the platform or pass beneath an elevated load. To do this, mark your operating area with warning signs. - Travelling on a longitudinal slope : • Ensure that you adapt the platform’s travelling speed by controlling the speed with the travelling manipulator. - Take into account the platform’s dimensions and its load before trying to negotiate a narrow or low passageway.
Page 14
If the wind is in excess of 45Km/h, do not perform any movements liable to endanger the lifting platform’s stability. - To recognise this speed by eye, please refer to the empirical wind evaluation scale below: BEAUFORT scale (wind speed at a height of 10m over flat terrain) Speed Speed Speed...
Page 15
D - V ISIBILITY - Maintain permanently good visibility throughout the route. To increase your visibility, you can move forwards with the pendular arm slightly raised (pay attention to the risk of falls in the basket from knocking into a low doorway, overhead electric wires, travelling cranes, highway bridges, tracks or any obstacle in the area in front of the platform).
Page 16
STARTING THE PLATFORM PLATFORMS WITH IC ENGINES SAFETY NOTICE - Do not pull or push the lifting platform to start it. This type of manoeuvre would cause severe damage to the transmission. In cases of necessity, towing requires that the lifting platform be placed in freewheeling mode (See chapter 3 - MAINTENANCE). - If using an emergency battery for start-up, use a battery with the same characteristics and respect battery polarity when connecting it.
Page 17
F - D RIVING THE PLATFORM SAFETY NOTICE Operators should be aware of the risks connected with using the platform, notably: - Risk of losing control. - Risk of losing lateral and frontal stability of the platform. The operator must remain in control of the platform. - Do not carry out operations which exceed the capacities of your platform.
Page 18
G - S TOPPING THE PLATFORM SAFETY NOTICE - Never leave the ignition key in the platform during the operator’s absence. - Make sure that the platform is not stopped in any position that will interfere with the traffic flow and at less than one meter from the track of a railway.
NSTRUCTIONS FOR WELDING AND BLOW TORCH WORK ON THE EXTERNAL STRUCTURE Ensure that there are no hydraulic or electrolyte leaks on the platform. When welding, work in the opposite direction from the control console to avoid sparks damaging it . - Any welding and cutting (blow torch) work from the basket on a building’s metallic structures requires the following precautions to be taken: A - W...
PLATFORM MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS ENERAL INSTRUCTIONS - Ensure the area is sufficiently ventilated before starting the platform. - Wear clothes suitable for the maintenance of the platform, avoid wearing jewellery and loose clothes. Tie and protect your hair, if necessary. - Stop the I.C. engine before conducting any work on the platform, remove the ignition key and disconnect the “Minus” battery terminal. - Set the battery cut-out to the OFF position (ELECTRIC PLATFORM).
- If the platform is equipped with an electronic control unit, disconnect this before starting to weld, to avoid the risk of causing irreparable damage to electronic components. Welding operations on the structure for maintenance or repair operations must only be performed by MANITOU- certified personnel.
The following recommendations are intended to prevent the platform from being damaged when it is withdrawn from service for an extended period. For these operations, we recommend the use of a MANITOU protective product, reference 603726. Instructions for using the product are given on the packaging.
HARGING THE BATTERIES - In the case of electric platforms, in order to preserve the batteries’life and their capacity, check them periodically and keep the charge level constant (see : 3 - MAINTENANCE). ROTECTING THE PLATFORM - Protect cylinder rods which will not be retracted, from corrosion. - Wrap the tyres.
Page 24
- These can be removed and collected for processing by glass manufacturers. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION - If you entrust the maintenance of your platform to the MANITOU network, the risk of pollution is limited and the contribution to the protection of the environment is respected.

AFETY SLOPE When the access platform has reached the maximum authorised inclination (see chapter : CHARACTERISTICS), the LED 23* on the basket console flashes regularly. Furthermore, the beeper 33* in the basket also sounds intermittently. All “AGGRAVATING” movements - raising the arms, extending the telescope movements are prohibited for safety reasons .
Page 51
NB : INCOHERENCE of OVERLOAD SENSORS, LOW ARM position and TELESCOPE extension / retraction. This memo is to inform you that the slope and overload LEDs may, in certain situations, be activated intermittently and the beeper may sound constantly, for reasons other than excessive slope position or overloaded basket.

OADING AND UNLOADING OF THE ACCESS PLATFORM Check that the safety instructions associated with the flatbed are being observed before loading the access platform, and make sure that the truck driver is informed about the dimensional characteristics and the weight of the access platform. (see chapter: CHARACTERISTICS).
RESCUE PROCEDURE This paragraph describes the procedures to follow, the controls to use in the event of a problem (breakdown of the lifting platform or someone trapped in the basket) while the lifting platform is working. When taking over the machine and regularly afterwards, the details of this procedure must be read and fully understood by the operator and everyone whose duties are centred on activities in contact with the machine.

ROCEDURE OF FREE WHEELING The platform may only be towed a short distance and only by a machine with significant braking performance, in order to hold it: the two machines must be connected by a tow bar. - To set the platform to free wheel, it must not be subject to any travelling stresses from slopes.
DESCRIPTION AND USE OF THE OPTIONS 1 - S YSTEM The SafeManSystem option is a system used to disable all of the basket control panel controls when activated by the lifting platform user. OPERATION - Each time the lifting platform is switched on, a system test is performed: there is a beep and the blue warning light flashes.
