On the basis of experience, there are a number of possible situations in which operating the platform is contra-indicated. Such
foreseeable abnormal uses, the main ones being listed below, are strictly forbidden.
- The foreseeable abnormal behaviour resulting from ordinary neglect, but does not result from any wish to put the
machinery to any improper use.
- The reflex reactions of a person in the event of a malfunction, incident, fault, etc. during operation of the platform.
- Behaviour resulting from application of the "principle of least action" when performing a task.
- For certain machines, the foreseeable behaviour of such persons as : apprentices, teenagers, handicapped persons,
trainees tempted to drive a platform, operator tempted to operate a truck to win a bet, in competition or for their own
personal experience.
The person in charge of the equipment must take these criteria into account when assessing whether or not a person will make a
suitable driver.
OBTAIN INFORMATION ON :
- How to behave when there is a fire.
- The location of the nearest first aid kit and fire extinguisher.

C - MAINTENANCE
- 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.
- The operator must carry out daily maintenance (see : 3 - MAINTENANCE : A - DAILY OR EVERY 10 HOURS
SERVICE).
- The operator must ensure tyres are adapted to the nature of the ground (see area of the contact surface of the tyres in
the chapter : 2 - DESCRIPTION : CHARACTERISTICS). There are optional solutions, consult your dealer.
Do not use the platform if the tyres are damaged or excessively worn, because this could put your own safety or that of
others at risk, or cause damage to the platformk itself.
- In the case of electric platforms, the operator must ensure that:
• The batteries are not replaced with lighter ones (compromising stability).
• Safety goggles are always worn when charging the batteries.
• The batteries are not charged in an explosive environment.
• There is no smoking and no naked flame directed towards the batteries whe they are being handled
(during removal, re-installation and checking the levels) .
D - MODIFYING THE PLATFORM
- For your safety and that of others, you must not change the structure and settings of the various components used in
your platform yourself:
• hydraulic pressure,
• calibrating limiters,

- 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.
- Never move onto a loading platform without having first checked :
• That it is suitably positioned and made fast.
• That the unit to which it is connected (wagon, lorry, etc.) will not shift.
• That this platform is prescribed for the size and the total weight of the platform.
• That the slope is not greater than the platform’s maximum authorised slope.
- Never move onto a foot bridge, floor or freight lift, without being certain that they are prescribed for the weight and size
of the platform to be loaded and without having checked that they are in sound working order.
- Be careful in the area of loading bays, trenches, scaffolding, soft land and manholes.
- Ensure that the ground or floor under the wheels and/or the stabilizers is stable and firm before raising the basket. If
necessary, add sufficient wedging under the stabilizers.
- Do not attempt any operations outside the plarform’s capabilities.
- Ensure that the materials on the platform (pipes, cables, containers, etc ...) cannot slip off and fall. Do not heap up
these materials to the pint where you have to step over them.
If the basket must remain stationary over a structure for a long period, there is a risk that the basket will rest on this
structure because of the oil cooling in the cylinders or a minor leak in the cylinder locking system.
To eliminate this risk :
- Regularly check the distance between the basket and the structure and re-adjust if necessary.
- If possible use the platform at an oil temperature as close as possible to ambient temperature.
- In the case of work near aerial lines, ensure that the safety distance is sufficient between the working area of the
platform and the aerial line.
You must consult your local electrical agency. You could be electrocuted or seriously injured if you operate or park the platform too
close to power cables.
If the platform comes into contact with electric wires, press the Emergency Stop button.
If you can, jump from the basket without simultaneously being in contact with the basket and the ground.
If not, call for help, wam people not to touch the basket and to switch off the power supply to the wires or have it
switched off.
If the wind is in excess of 45Km/h, do not make any movements putting the platform’s stability at risk.
D - VISIBILITY

INSTRUCTIONS 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 - WITH ELECTRIC WELDING EQUIPMENT
- It is essential that the machine has a discharge braid connecting the platform’s chassis to the ground.
- It is also essential that the external structure to be welded is connected to the earth. If the above conditions are
observed, the platform can, in this case, be in contact with the structure or the elements to be welded without
damaging the electronic components.
- The power supply to the welding equipment must be via an earthed socked and any extension required just also be
earthed.
- In all cases, ensure that there are no electrical arcs in the basket or on the platform (contact between the brazing rod or
the torch and the welding equipment’s earth). To ensure this, at any time the welding equipment’s earth must not be
positioned on the platform’s basket but instead only as close as possible to the element to be welded.
- Switch off the welding equipment before disconnecting the earth clamp from the element or elements to be welded.
B - WITH A BLOW TORCH
- Attach the blow torch’s bottles to the basket’s handrails.
- instructions for welding and blow torch work on the external structure
- Do not set the blow torch down on the lip of the basket while it is still operating or point it towards the control console or
its power cables.

MEANING
1. WHITE ARROW
This indicates the direction of travelling when moving forwards.
When the turret assembly, the arms assembly and the basket make a 180°
rotation with respect to the chassis, the travelling controls are reversed.
Identify the forward direction by looking at the arrows on the chassis and on
the basket control console.

Same: white arrow
NB: As on the basket console and the chassis, the white arrows indicate
forward travelling and the black arrows reverse travelling.
3. LOAD PER WHEEL
This indicates the maximum load on one wheel and the load the wheel will
exert on the ground (see 2 - DESCRIPTION: CHARACTERISTICS for the
piercing value).
Before using the platform, identify the type of ground and find out its ability to
resist being pierced.
NB: The weight must be visible on the platform.
