Operating site
Select a site for the machine from which the platform will be able to reach the
required work area. A visual inspection of the operating site should be made before
setting up the machine. Particular attention should be given to the following items:
1. Ground conditions
Ensure that the ground on which the POP-UP PUSH 6 ECO is to operate is
capable of supporting the weight of the machine (including the weight of the
operator plus tools and materials). Be aware of floors or coverings (e.g. manhole
covers) that may not withstand point loadings exerted by the castor wheels.
2. Ground flatness
The POP-UP PUSH 6 ECO must only be operated on flat (0º chassis inclination)
and level surfaces. The allowable chassis inclination is indicated when the bubble
spirit level is within the marked limits. All castor wheels must be in full contact with
the ground.
3. Overhead obstructions
Ensure that adequate clearance is available above and around the platform before
elevation.
