Caution !
Adhere to the security instructions
of the battery manufacturer .
Caution !
These machines are not insulated
and must not be operated close to
power lines.
4.3.2 - Controls before use
4.3.2.1 -Evolution Zone
• make sure that the machine is resting on flat ground which is stable
and able to support the weight of the machine (see chap. 2.4, page 10
- pressure on the ground).
NOTE :
See table of characteristics in chap. 2.4, page 10 for maxi-
mum acceptable slope
• Make sure that no obstacle may obstruct the movements for:
- axle extension,
- lateral movement (displacement of the machine),
- turning of the turret,
- raising the arm (see chap. 2.3, page 9),
- telescoping and raising the fly jib (see chap. 2.3, page 9).
4.3.2.2 -General
• make sure that the turret rotation jacking pin is removed (photo 3,
page 29).
• inspect the whole of the machine visually: splashes of paint or leaka-
ges of battery acid will catch your eye
• check that there are not loosened bolts, nuts, connections and flexible
components, no oil leaks, no cut or disconnected electrical wires.
• check the arms, the fly jib and the platform for traces of visible dama-
ge, traces of wear or deformation
• check for leakages, traces of wear, blows, scratches, rust or foreign
bodies on the stems of the jacks
• check for leakage on the wheel retractors
• check that there are no leaks on the pump and the hydraulic centre,
that components are tightened and that the two aspiration valves are
completely open
• check that the reduction gear is not damaged.
• check the tightness of the wheel nuts and the degree of wear on the
tires.
• check the cleanliness and the tightness of the battery terminals: loose
terminals or corrosion may cause a loss of power
• control the level of electrolyte in the batteries: the level must be at ap-
proximately 10 mm above the plates. Supplement if necessary with
distilled water.
• check the good state of the electric cable of the principal control panel
• check the correct operation of the three emergency shutdowns
• check the correct operation of the emergency power unit.
• check the cleanliness of the air filter - see engine note
• check the levels:
- of engine oil: if necessary supplement the level (see note engine); -
- coolant;
- of hydraulic oil (rep 1, Photo 4, page 30), if necessary supplement
the level using the stopper (rep. 2, Photo 4, page 30). Before
checking the hydraulic oil level, check that the machine is
completely folded and the axles retracted; -
- -of diesel (rep. 1, Photo 5, page 30) : refill if necessary (stopper
rep. 2, Photo 5, page 30).
