SECTION 4 OPERATION INSTRUCTION 4.1 General An operator must not operate the machine, only if: He has learned and practiced the principles of safe machine operation contained in this operational manual. Avoid hazardous situations. Perform a pre-operation inspection at all times. Implement functional test before operating the machine at all times.
Max slope rating, platform uphill (gradeability): 4WD: 45%(24°) Max slope rating, platform downhill (gradeability): 4WD: 30%(17°) Max side slope rating: 4WD: 17%(10°) Note: Identify the allowable range of slope and side slope rating. All ratings for Gradeability and Sideslope are based upon the machine's main boom being in the stowed position, fully lowered and retracted.
If the indicator is illuminated, operate the Drive function in the following manner: Check blue and yellow arrow on platform control panel and on chassis match or not, confirm the travelling direction. Toggle and loosen travelling direction confirmation switch. Operate the handle to drive as needed within 7 seconds.
Page 66
Note: Do not rotate the platform or raise upper boom above horizontal level when machine tilts. Do not use the tilt alarm as a chassis level indicator. To avoid tip over, lower platform to ground level. then drive machine to a level surface before raising upper boom.
4.2.8 Emergency Stop Push in the red “Emergency Stop” button on Ground or Platform Controls to off position to shut off all the functions. Only after pressing the red "main power button" and "emergency stop" button can any operation function be restored. 4.2.9 Auxiliary Power Note: When operating on auxiliary power, do not operate more than one function at a time.
The transport vehicle must be secured to prevent rolling while the machine is being loaded. Be sure the vehicle capacity, loading surfaces and chains or straps are sufficient to withstand the machine weight. ZOOMLION lifts are very heavy relative to their size. See the serial label for the machine weight.
Page 69
Be sure the machine is on a level surface or secured before releasing the brake. Do not drive the machine on a slope that exceeds the uphill, downhill or side slope rating. See Driving on a Slope in the Operating Instructions section. If the slope of the transport vehicle bed exceeds the maximum slope rating, the machine must be loaded and unloaded using a winch as described in the brake release operation.
Page 70
Figure 4-1 Lifting and Securing Instructions 4.3.4 Securing the platform Be sure the boom and the platform are in stowed position. Use the straps between the platform rotator (see Figure below) and platform base to secure the platform. Do not use excessive downward force when securing the boom section. Figure 4-2 Securing the Platform Use a cable tie or rope to secure the slider to the upper square tube of the work platform to prevent the slider from bumping during transportation.
Disposal of materials should be according to the regulations of government and relevant environmental protection administration. Use only ZOOMLION approved replacement parts. ZOOMLION assumes no responsibility for hazards occurred to equipment and personnel caused by the use of unauthorized parts.
Drive motor/motor. Wear pads. Tires and wheels. Limit switches and horn. Alarm and indicator (if equipped). Nuts, bolts and other fasteners. Brake release unit. 5.1.3 Maintenance hazards Shut off power to all controls and ensure that all moving parts are secured from inadvertent motion prior to performing any adjustments or repairs.
Note: DO NOT mix oils of different brands or types, as they contain different additives which may cause negative effects. If mixing of hydraulic oils is unavoidable, permission must be obtained from the hydraulic oil manufacturer. After-sales service of ZOOMLION does not cover machine 5- 3 用户...

of machine components and work efficiency, it is advisable that the starting temperature should be 25℃/77℉ higher than the pour point of hydraulic oil. Changing Hydraulic Oil We suggest that changing time of the hydraulic oil is as follows: first changing: operating for 500 hrs after commissioning. second and subsequent changing: every 2,000 hrs of operation or once a year.
Body Injury Hazard Batteries contain acid. Avoid spilling or contacting battery acid. Neutralize battery acid spills with baking soda and water. Note: the battery should be fully charged before this inspection. Only qualified riggers should rig the machine. Only certified crane operators should lift the machine and only in accordance with the applicable crane regulations.
Interval –Every 3 months or 150 hours. Comment –Apply grease and rotate in 90 degree intervals until bearing is completely lubricated.

ZOOMLION recommends a replacement tire be the same size, ply and brand as originally installed on the machine. Please refer to the ZOOMLION Parts Manual for the part number of the approved tires for a particular machine model. If not using a ZOOMLION approved replacement tire, we recommend that replacement tires have the following characteristics: Equal or greater ply/load rating and size of original.
Unless specifically approved by ZOOMLION do not replace a foam filled or ballast filled tire assembly with a pneumatic tire. When selecting and installing a replacement tire, ensure that all tires are inflated to the pressure recommended by ZOOMLION. Due to size variations between tire brands, both tires on the same axle should be the same.
