5. Tourner l’interrupteur à clé du châssis à la position de plate-forme (« PLATFORM »).

6. Monter sur la plate-forme, fermer le portillon au loquet et fixer le dispositif antichute approuvé au point de fixation désigné de la plate-forme. Ne fixer qu’un seul dispositif antichute par point de fixation.

7. Sans enfoncer l’interrupteur à pédale, déplacer le levier de direction : la machine devrait rester immobile.

8 . Enfoncer l’interrupteur à pédale, et déplacer le levier de

direction en avant, puis en arrière. Noter si les fonctions proportionnelles se déroulent en douceur et si les freins s’appliquent rapidement une fois la commande relâchée.

9. Tout en enfonçant l’interrupteur à pédale, actionner le bouton de commande de direction vers la gauche et vers la droite. Noter si les roues directrices braquent correctement.

10. Tout en enfonçant l’interrupteur à pédale, tourner le bouton de commande de vitesse des fonctions au réglage voulu, et faire fonctionner les commandes du bras articulé à flèche. Noter si le bras articulé à flèche fonctionne en douceur et si les commandes de la flèche, du bras en porte-à-faux, de rotation du revolver, du positionnement horizontal de la plate-forme et de la rotation de la plate-forme fonctionnent de façon proportionnelle, conjointement avec la manoeuvre du bouton de commande de vitesse des fonctions. Noter si la plate-forme se maintient de niveau lorsque le bras articulé à flèche est élevé.

11. La flèche étant élevée de 30 cm (1 pi), manoeuvrer le levier de direction. Noter si la vitesse d’avance est limitée à la marche extra-lente (0,15 m [6 po] à la seconde). Abaisser la flèche en position escamotée.

12. Appuyer sur le bouton de la sirène d’appel. Noter si le timbre retentit.
