Checks before each use

Prior to commissioning and before each use the machine must undergo the visual
and functional checks given below.
The instructions given below must be followed.

VISUAL CHECK

CHECK OPERATION

•

Visually check under and around the

machine to make sure that there are no
oil or fuel leaks.

•

Make sure that there is no hydraulic oil

leaking from the hoses and from the
other

components

(cylinders,

distributors, fittings, etc.).

•

Check that there are no cut or worn

electrical

cables

and

that

the

connectors are correctly secured.

•

Check the fuel level before starting so

as to prevent interruptions while
working.

•

Check the engine oil level.

•

Check the hydraulic oil level.

•

Make sure that none of the screws,

bolts or ferrules are loose or missing.

•

Make sure that all the "Seeger" safety

rings are present and correctly in place
with there washers.

•

Make sure that all the pins are in place

and correctly secured.

•

Make sure the tracks are not cut or

abnormally worn

•

Always check to make sure that track

tension is correct

•

Check, and if necessary grease, the

scissor runners, both those in contact
with the platform and those in contact
with the lower frame.

•

Check that the manual, the plates and

the stickers are on the machine.

•

Check that the steel structure is not

deformed.

•

Make sure there are no cracks in the

welds, damage or abnormal wear

•

Make sure that the 12V internal

combustion engine ignition battery is

•

With

the

platform

the

transport

configuration, place the machine with the
frame tilted with respect to the horizontal by a
value greater than 0.5° on the lateral. Operate
the platform lifting control, make sure that the
system automatically brings the frame to the
horizontal position

•

With

the

platform

the

transport

configuration, place the machine with the
frame tilted with respect to the horizontal by a
value greater than 0.5° on the longitudinal.
Operate the platform lifting control, make sure
that the system automatically brings the frame
to the horizontal position

•

With

the

platform

the

transport

configuration,  place  the  machine  with  the
frame  tilted  with  respect  to  the  horizontal  at
the  maximum  angle  both  on  the  longitudinal
and on the lateral. Operate the platform lifting
control,

make

sure

that

the

system

automatically brings the frame to the
horizontal position

•

Lift the platform without a load to the

maximum height and then lower it a few times;
make sure that the machine works correctly

•

Check the operation of the anti-shearing

device;  this  test  is  performed  by  lifting  the
platform  to  a  height  that  involves  an  angle  of
the  scissor  frames  greater  than  12°  with
respect  to  the  horizontal  and  make  sure  that
the descent movement stops automatically at a
scissor  angle  between  7°  and  9°  (the  vertical
distance between the ends of the scissors must
be  greater  than  50mm).  Further  movements
downwards are possible only after a 3s delay at
reduced speed.

•

Check the operation of the travel function with

the platform lifted; this test is performed by
