D - MODIFYING THE PLATFORM
INSTRUCTIONS TO SITE MANAGER: C-MODIFYING THE PLATFORM.
E - DIESEL PLATFORM AXLES
NON-OSCILLATING AXLE (ACCORDING TO MODEL)
IMPORTANT
The chassis is rigid, so the platform can be load bearing on only three wheels.
OSCILLATING AXLE (ACCORDING TO MODEL)
IMPORTANT
An oscillating axle enables the platform to have a ground reach on four wheels when in transport position.
When moving in the working position over uneven terrain, the oscillating axle is locked (the frame is stiff) so the platform may be bearing on only three wheels.

(2-DESCRIPTION):
• Overload in the basket.
• Tilting of the platform beyond the authorised limits.
• Blocking of the oscillating axle (according to model).
• Slack or broken telescope cable (according to model).
