WARNING
Road circulation can cause serious damages to the vehicle in case PTO is connected. The

8.6. EMERGENCY OPERATIONS
The person who has the job of being the operator at ground must be a trained person, particularly as to the
emergency and rescue works (to help the operators in basket).
It is necessary for him to know the location and function of the controls and to avoid acting instinctively not
to cause other damages. He will have to carefully consider the situation to take the basket back to ground.
If the failure is related to a temporary trouble, which can be solved through a normal use, the operator can
bring back to order the working of the MEWP; otherwise he must not use the platform and must contact
the Service Department immediately.
A. Intervention of emergency switch or failure of the electric system
Keeping pressed the emergency switch, the thermic engine stops;
therefore, both the hydraulic power and the electric power stop.
After having reset working conditions, do as follows:
- rotate the head E1 clockwise to release the push button,
- start again the engine.
Hydraulic and electric power are active and it is possible to make all
manoeuvres.

WARNING
IMPORTANT
The MEWP cannot be used neither from basket nor from turret controls till this switch is released
In case it is not possible to release the push button (i.e.: sudden indisposition of the operator in basket), or
in case you find a failure in the electric installation, the operator at ground must do the following
operations:
1. Lower the lever of the electromagnetic switch, in order to disconnect the electric system of the MEWP.
