WARNINGS
Ensure you conform with all recommendations and rules from the Manufacturer
- The LMI is an electronic device with the aim to help the operator in the current use of the machine, warning him by means of visual and acoustic signals while approaching
dangerous conditions.
- However this device can’t replace the operator good experience in the safe use of the machine.
- The responsibility of the operations in safe conditions of the machine is the operator concern as well as the accomplishment of all prescribed safety rules
- The Operator must be able to detect if the data given by the LMI are correct and correspond to actual working conditions.
- He must be able to utilise the data given by the LMI in order to operate in safe conditions in any time.
- The LMI is an electronic device including several sensing components, therefore it can be subject to failures or defects.
- The operator must recognise these events and he must take action (to proceed to repair if possible or to call MANITOU Assistance)
- Before starting the operations with the machine, the user must fully read this manual and follow the instructions at any time.
- The LMI is supplied with a key for shut-down function by-passing.
- In normal working operations, this key must be positioned not to by-pass shut-down.
- It’s forbidden to use the key to lift loads exceeding the loads values allowed by the Manufacturer.
- The key can be used only when an emergency/malfunctioning occurs or a situation justifying its use.
- Only Authorised Personnel is allowed to the use of the key; they are also responsible for it.
- The LMI has a powerful FAIL-SAFE autodiagnosis program suitable to verify its good operations and the one of its transducers.
- In case a trouble has been detected, the LMI puts itself in a safe state by stopping the manoeuvres (please see the AUTODIAGNOSTIC chapter)).
- In spite of this, the Operator, before starting the operation with the machine, must take care that the LMI is working correctly.
To do this, he must verify the validity of the displayed values by doing some tests.
He must verify that there are not messages or alarm indications; he must verify the correct operation of the manoeuvre stopping functions.
The operator is responsible for the correct setting of the machine load table and therefore for the right LMI set.
When switching-on the machine the last selected Table is kept valid, to allow Operator check.
- About this, please follow the instructions given in the ATTACHMENT SELECTION chapter.
An incorrect setting of the tables, can cause an incorrect LMI operation and therefore can provoke a dangerous situation for the machine.
- Operating conditions usually change when:Further attachment are fitted or removed (jib, winch, basket, forks) and relevant.
Table selecting mode is set on the control panel.
Outriggers Extension / Withdrawn, Turret Front/360° rotation , On Wheels/Outriggers, Operating Modes are set in automatic way by micro-switches.
- If the load machine is on the frontal rubbers and the tower slews 3° right or 3° left, automatically the lmi change load chart between frontal rubbers and rubbers 360°. It is allowed
the reen,ter of the tower use of the key that it close the lmi.
Hazard on the safety system.
If the boom is completly lowered, take errors in the reading of the load lifted.
In these conditions, raise the boom slightly before extending it and check thatthe load reading on the display is the same as the actual load.
Generally, it’s compulsory to follow the Manufacturer instructions and procedures at any time.
2 - SAFETY SYSTEM INHIBIT KEY (See chapter 2)
This key has two positions: “1” - “0”.
In position “1” the safety system is enabled.
In position “0” the safety system is disenabled
ATTENTION : the safety system can be inhibited only when operating with a shovel, by turning key “2”.
With the system inhibited, there is nothing to prevent tilting or overloading of the lift truck.
