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 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 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.
