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  without
lowering  the  stabilisers  with  the  frame  tilted
with  respect  to  the  horizontal  by  a  value
greater  than  2°  on  the  lateral.  Operate  the
platform lifting control and make sure that it is
not possible to raise the platform.

•

With

the

platform

the

transport

configuration,  place  the  machine  without
lowering  the  stabilisers  with  the  frame  tilted
with  respect  to  the  horizontal  by  a  value
greater  than  2°  on  the  longitudinal.  Operate
the platform lifting control and make sure that
it is not possible to raise the platform.

•

With

the

platform

the

transport

configuration, lower the stabilisers by means of
the  automatic  stabilisation  selector  switch.
Make  sure  that  the  tracks  are  raised  from  the
ground and that the machine levels within 0.5°.
A horn will warn the operator that the frame is
within  the  0.5°  of  inclination.  At  the  end  of
this procedure, make sure that it is possible to
lift the work platform using the up control.

•

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  can  be  done  by  lifting  the  work
platform  to  a  height  of  about  2  metres  above
the  transport  height.  It  is  necessary  to  check
that

the

downward

movement

stops

automatically at a height such that 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.

•

With the machine stabilised on the tracks,

check the operation of the travel function with
