STARTING THE ENGINE / ELECTRIC MOTOR Read carefully this Operators Manual and also the Operators Manual for the engine before starting operation. Read and understand all safety instructions before starting operation. It is the operator’s responsibility to follow all operating and safety instructions. This access platform is destined for lifting of persons and additional load only.
(see 6.1.2)! Transmission of the LEGUAN 135 is hydrostatic. Each wheel is equipped with a hydraulic motor - the machine is four wheel drive. If the machine is equipped with rubber tracks there are two hydraulic motors in the track system.
Drive and boom movements are equipped with electric ramps with which the movements start and stop (progressivity of acceleration and deceleration). The ramps can be adjusted by Leguan service at the service page of the remote-control. The ramps are intended to make starting and stopping of the movements smoother.
8.4. Driving the lift on trailer There is a trailer available, specifically designed to transport the Leguan. The trailer must be fastened to the tow car when loading the machine on the trailer. Drive the machine on trailer with nose first...
As the rear of the lift extends over 1 m over the rear of the trailer, a reflector and red light must be mounted on the platform (picture on the left). The reflector is sufficient on daylight, but the red light is mandatory when it is dark.
8.5.1 Instructions for working environment In order to increase the lifespan of the track system, avoid driving on the following terrains or work sites: • Environments with crushed stone, iron bars, scrap metal or similar recycling material. Rubber tracks are not designed for this kind of environments.
OPERATION OF THE OUTRIGGERS Lifting of the booms without setting down the outriggers is never allowed! When setting down the outriggers the maximum allowed inclination of the chassis is 1.5°. With automatic leveling it is possible to level the machine within one degree. With the water level it is possible to level the machine within 0.5°.
Page 34
The booms must be in transport position before driving the outriggers up! ATTENTION! If there is the text “Leveling OK” on the display when the outriggers are not correctly deployed, the operation of this access platform is not allowed! Contact nearest Leguan service!
– in this case the telescopic boom is out more than one meter. LEGUAN 135 is also equipped with an overload control system which prevents boom movements in case the 230 kg safe working load is exceeded, or in case the telescopic boom comes out more than allowed when load on the platform is over 140 kg.
10.1. Boom deceleration Boom movement speed can be slowed with the deceleration switch (see 6.1.1). The switch is equipped with four positions: full speed and three decelerations. The active deceleration mode is shown with the green LED above the switch. The blinking frequency of the LED indicates the progressivity of deceleration.
EMERGENCY LOWERING If the power supply for some reason cuts off (e.g. no fuel or electricity cuts off, or connecting cable fails) the booms can be lowered as follows. 1. The lift is equipped with an electric emergency lowering system. There are emergency lowering buttons both on the platform and at ground level.
ENDING AN OPERATION When ending operation: 1. Lower the booms down to transport position. 2. Lift the outriggers completely up to transport position. 3. Stop the engine/motor with the remote-control start/stop switch. Turn off the remote control from its emergency stop switch. Lock the control unit in its place on the platform or take the unit with you.
Always tie the machine down diagonally from every corner. The tie-down to Leguan trailer is shown in the paragraph 8.4. ATTENTION! It is not allowed to tie down the machine so that the ropes go over the booms.
• Make sure that the checks according to the local regulations are done. ATTENTION! All spare parts – especially electric components and sensors – must be original Leguan parts. Always remember when handling the battery: • Battery contains corrosive sulfuric acid – handle the battery with care! When handling the battery wear protective clothing and eyewear.

If the values in the two channels differ more than 30 kg, boom movements are prevented. In this case contact Leguan service. If the sensor needs to be replaced the tightening torque for the screws is 150 Nm.
15.11. Electric sensors Transport position sensor S4 is located inside the transport support for the jib boom, see picture on the left. All the booms must be lowered down to transport supports in order so that the sensor recognizes that the booms are in transport position.
Page 52
The inclination sensor is located on the chassis next to the drive control valve. Readings of the inclination sensor are used in the automatic leveling of the machine. In addition, it prevents lifting of the booms if the inclination of the chassis exceeds the allowed value.
15.12. Check and adjustment of track tension Check and adjust track tension with the outriggers deployed and tracks lifted off the ground. First track tension check and eventual adjustment shall be made after first hour of operation. After that track tension shall be checked, and adjusted if needed, once a week. Check also tightness of the bolts and nuts of the sprockets.
