11. EMERGENCY LOWERING
If the power supply for some reason cuts off (e.g. no fuel or electricity cuts off, or connecting
cable fails) the booms can be lowered as follows
1. The lift is equipped with an electric emergency lowering system. There are
emergency lowering buttons both on the platform and at ground level.
By
pushing the button the selected boom comes slowly down as long as
the button is being pushed.
Emergency lowering takes it power directly
from the battery
– it is not dependent on the position of the main switch.
Emergency lowering valves are protected with a 10A fuse which is located in
the connection box at ground level.
2. Before lowering the booms to transport supports always make sure that they
are properly aligned and going straight down to transport supports. If
necessary, the booms can be rotated by opening the release valve of the
slewing cylinder, see 6.2.3 , and then pushing the booms to desired position.
Switch off main current before rotating the booms.
Always check function of emergency lowering before starting operation.
12. ENDING THE OPERATION
When ending operation:
1. Lower the booms down to transport position.
2. Lift the outriggers completely up to transport position.
3. Stop the engine/motor by turning the ignition switch to 0 position.
4. Remove safety harnesses from the platform and take them with you (harnesses
must be kept in their place and in their box/package).
5. Move the main disconnect switch to horizontal position and take the key with
you.
6. Close
fuel valve (see also engine operator’s manual).
7. If the machine stays in a place where it can be connected to 230VAC mains
current, it is recommended to connect it, in order to charge the battery (e.g.
overnight).
ATTENTION! Prevent unauthorized use of the access platform!
