Moving a Disabled Machine
General
Notice: Following any incident, thoroughly inspect the machine. Do not raise the platform until you are sure
that all damage has been repaired and that all controls are operating correctly. Test all functions first from
the ground controller, then from the platform controller.
WARNING Do not use the platform controller to release the platform when it is stuck, snagged or caught.
In this case, use the ground controller only when there are no persons on the platform.
If the machine becomes disabled, the machine must be made safe, lifted onto a transporter and moved to a
location where it can be repaired.
Towing, winching or pushing the machine without following the correct procedure will damage parts of the
hydraulic system. If possible, repair the disabled machine where it stands.
Lower the Platform (Emergency Operation)
The lowering alarm does not sound while lowering but if the machine is switched on the fault alarm will sound
due to lowering without electrical controls. Lowering may continue.
To lower the platform in emergency conditions:
1. Pull out the emergency lowering lever. Refer to Figure 27.
2. Release the lever to stop the operation.
