2. OPERATOR’S MANUAL
2.1. DESCRIPTION OF THE MACHINE
The machine is a self‑propelled hydraulic lifting device, equipped with a working control car
situated at the top of a rotating and extensible articulated structure. The lifting device is
meant for PLACING PEOPLE AND THEIR TOOLS AND MATERIALS IN PLACES HIGHER
THAN GROUND LEVEL.
The main control station of all the movements of the lifting device is situated on the control
car. Thanks to the main control station the operator can drive the machine, lift or lower the
extensible structure and rotate it towards the left or the right for an overall 300° angle.
The machine is equipped with a ground control station that excludes the main control sta‑
tion by means of a switch. The ground controls check the movements of the extensible struc‑
ture and are used in case of emergency to bring the control car back to the ground when the
operator is not able to do it.
The ground emergency controls can be used when doing control checks before starting ope‑
rating.
The machine is a self‑propelled machine able to move easily on any type of ground, able to
overcome big slopes and, seen its contained dimensions, to enter into narrow places. The
control car is the only control location planned by the manufacturer that prevents the opera‑
tor from being injured during all the translation operations of the machine. In fact, the con‑
trols have been studied to be used from the said position to have a proper sight of the invol‑
ved area.
The travel function can be controlled from the ground position only when the machine has to
pass pass through reduced‑height or narrow spaces. In these cases, to allow the machine to
access these spaces, the two‑place cage must be removed. The machine must travel only
lengthwise and must be controlled by a specialist operator.
