LIFTING PLATFORM OPERATION
DESCRIPTION
This machine is a mobile people lifting platform. It comprises a working platform fixed on the end of a scissors assembly.
- MANITOU lifting platforms are solely intended for taking people, with their tools and supplies (up to the authorised weight limit, see the
“SPECIFICATIONS” paragraph), to a desired working height, to reach hard-to-reach places above installations and buildings.
The lifting platform is fitted with a control station in the basket, from which the operator can drive and move the machine forwards and
backwards. The operator can raise or lower the scissor assembly.
The lifting platform is also fitted with an emergency ground control that can be used to lower the scissors. The emergency control must
only be used in the event of an emergency to bring the operator back to the ground if he is incapable of doing so himself.
The operator must check, every day, that the emergency control and the basket are operating correctly.
Stickers showing the characteristics, safety warnings and the rescue procedure are affixed to the machine. The operator
must r
ead these and fully understand their content. To avoid any risk of wrongly interpreting the pictograms, please refer
to the paragraph “SAFETY STICKERS” Section 1 – SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND ADVICE.
-
The lifting platform is manoeuvred by means of a hydraulic pump. The hydraulic components are controlled by electro-valves actuated
by means of contactors and the control joystick.
- The controls on the base console or the basket console, operating via contactors, are either in ON or OFF mode.
- The basket console is fitted with a so-called “Dead Man’s” push-button on the joystick. This must be pressed at the same time as a
movement command. Releasing the button stops the movement.
- The lifting platform is a machine with two drive wheels, driven by hydraulic motors located at the front of the platform. The undriven
wheels, located at the rear, are provided with hydraulic release spring brakes. These brakes tighten automatically as soon as the translation
joystick is returned to the Neutral position.
- The lifting platform can be raised to the limit of its capacities (see “CHARACTERISTICS” pages 2-7 to 2-10). A load not exceeding the
basket’s maximum capacity will enable you to move to any position, provided that the machine is on a surface with a slope that does
not exceed the maximum authorised tilt.
GENERAL
- On the following pages, you will find all the information you require for using the machine. This included the procedures for using,
driving, parking, loading and transporting the lifting platform.
