WHENEVER YOU SEE THIS SYMBOL IT MEANS :

WARNING ! BE CAREFUL ! YOUR SAFETY OR THE SAFETY OF THE

PLATFORM IS AT RISK.

The risk of accident while using, servicing or repairing your platform can be restricted if you follow the safety instructions and safety
measures detailed in these instruction.

- Only the operations and manœuvres described in these operator's manual must be performed. The manufacturer can-
not predict all possible risky situations. Consequently, the safety instructions given in the operator's manual and on the
platform itself are not exhaustive.
- At any time, as an operator, you must envisage, within reason, the possible risk to yourself, to others or to the platform
itself when you use it.

Failure to respect the safety and operating instructions, or the instructions for repairing or servicing your platform may lead to serious,
even fatal accident.

G ENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

A - OPERATOR’S MANUAL

- Carefully read and understand the operator's manual.

- The operator’s manual must always be kept in the place provided for it on the platform and be written in the language
used by the operator.
- Any operations or manoeuvres not described in the operator’s manual must necessarily be forbidden right from the
start.
- Follow the safety advice and the instructions on the platform.
- Ypu must necessarily replace the operator’s manual, as well as any plates or stickers, if they are no longer legible or
are damaged.
- A second operator must necessaily be present on the ground as a safety measure when using the platform.
- Familiarise yourself with the platform on the terrain it has to travel over.
- The machine must also be used in accordance with good engineering practice.
- Do not use the platform if the wind speed is over 45 km/h. The platform’s arms must not be subjected to a lateral force
of more than 40 kg (platforms for indoor use must not be used outside the building).

B - AUTHORIZATION FOR USE

(or see current legislation in other countries)

- Only qualified, authorized personnel may use the platform. This authorization is given in writing by the appropriate
person in the company, in charge of using the platform, and must be permanently carried by the operator.
- The operator is not competent to authorise the driving of the platform by another person.

1-1
C-Maintence

- If the operating platform is not working properly or does not follow the safety instructions, the operator
must immediately notify his or her supervisor.
- Unless the operator is not trained, it is forbidden to make any repairs or adjustments by himself. If this
is one of his duties, then he must keep the platform clean.
- The operator must perform routine maintenance (see: 3-Maintenance: A- Daily or every 10 hours).
- The operator must ensure that the tyre is adapted to the nature of the ground (see section "2-Description:
Characteristics" in the area of the tyre contact surface). For optional solutions, please consult your dealer.

Do not use the platform if the tyres are damaged or excessively worn, because this could put your own
safety or that of others at risk, or cause damage to the platformk itself.

- In the case of electric platforms, the operator must ensure that:

• The batteries are not replaced with lighter ones (compromising stability).
• Safety goggles are always worn when charging the batteries.
• Thebatteries are not charged in an explosive environment.
• Thereis no smoking and no naked flame directed towards the batteries whe they are being
handled (during removal, re-installation and checking the levels) .

D - MODIFYING THE PLATFORM

- Whatever his experience, the operator is advised to familiarize himself with the position and operation of all the controls
and instruments before operating the platform.
- The platform must be in transport position (arms fully folded or scissors in the low position) before you climb onto the
platform.
- Make sure the horn works.

B - DRIVER’S OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

- Wear suitable clothing for driving the platform, do not wear baggy clothes.
- Make sure you have the appropriate protective equipment for the job to be done.
- Prolonged exposure to high noise levels may cause hearing problems. It is recommended to wear ear muffs to protect
against excessive noise.
- Always pay attention when using the platform. Do not listen to the radio or music using headphones or earphones
- For increased comfort, adopt the correct position in the driver’s cab.
- The operator must always be in his normal position in the driver’s seat : extending arms or legs (or, in general, any part
of the body), outside the basket is forbidden.
- Safety helmets must be worn.
- HANGCHA recommends a safety harness in the operator’s size be provided when the platform is in use (for the harness
attachement in the basket , see 2 - DESCRIPTION : INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS).
- The control units must never in any event be used for any other than their intended purposes (e.g. climbing onto or
down from the platform, portmanteau, etc.).
- In the case of scissors-type platforms, it is forbidden to use the platform without the guardrails in place.
- Suspending a load under the basket or on any part of the lifting apparatus is strictly forbidden.
- The operator must not climb into or get down from the basket unless it is at ground level (with the lifting system folded).
- The platform must not be fitted with any accessory increasing the machine’s wind profile.
- Do not use a ladder or any improvised constructions in the basket to reach greater heights.
- Do not climb on the sides of the basket to reach greater heights.

C - ENVIRONMENT

- Comply with site safety regulations.

- The platform can be manoeuvred from the ground: ensure that you forbid access.
- If you have to use the platform in a dark area or at night, make sure it is equipped with working lights.
- The platforms may not be used as cranes or elevators for the permanent transport of people or materials, nor as jacks
or supports.
- When operating, ensure that there is no one or anything impeding the platform’s progress ans operation.
- When raising the platform, ensure that no one or anything inpedes the platform’s operation and do not perform any
inappropriate manuvres.

1-3
- Do not allow anybody to come near the working area of the platform or pass beneath an elevated load. To do this,
mark your operating area with warning signs.
- Travelling on a longitudinal slope :
• Ensure that you adapt the platform’s travelling speed by controlling the speed with the travelling manipulator.
- Take into account the platform’s dimensions and its load before trying to negotiate a narrow or low passageway.
- Never move onto a loading platform without having first checked :
• That it is suitably positioned and made fast.
• That the unit to which it is connected (wagon, lorry, etc.) will not shift.
• That this platform is prescribed for the size and the total weight of the platform.
• That the slope is not greater than the platform’s maximum authorised slope.
- Never move onto a foot bridge, floor or freight lift, without being certain that they are prescribed for the weight and size
of the platform to be loaded and without having checked that they are in sound working order.
- Be careful in the area of loading bays, trenches, scaffolding, soft land and manholes.
- Ensure that the ground or floor under the wheels and/or the stabilizers is stable and firm before raising the basket. If
necessary, add sufficient wedging under the stabilizers.
- Do not attempt any operations outside the plarform’s capabilities.
- Ensure that the materials on the platform (pipes, cables, containers, etc ...) cannot slip off and fall. Do not heap up
these materials to the pint where you have to step over them.

If the basket must remain stationary over a structure for a long period, there is a risk that the basket will rest on this
structure because of the oil cooling in the cylinders or a minor leak in the cylinder locking system.
To eliminate this risk :
- Regularly check the distance between the basket and the structure and re-adjust if necessary.
- If possible use the platform at an oil temperature as close as possible to ambient temperature.

- In the case of work near aerial lines, ensure that the safety distance is sufficient between the working area of the
platform and the aerial line.

You must consult your local electrical agency. You could be electrocuted or seriously injured if you operate or park the platform too
close to power cables.

If the platform comes into contact with electric wires, press the Emergency Stop button.
If you can, jump from the basket without simultaneously being in contact with the basket and the ground.
If not, call for help, wam people not to touch the basket and to switch off the power supply to the wires or have it
switched off.

If the wind is in excess of 45Km/h, do not make any movements putting the platform’s stability at risk.

D - VISIBILITY

- Maintain permanently good visibility throughout the route. To increase your visibility, you can move forwards with the
pendular arm slightly raised (pay attention to the risk of falls in the basket from knocking into a low doorway, overhead
electric wires, travelling cranes, highway bridges, tracks or any obstacle in the area in front of the platform). In reverse,
look directly behind you. In any case, avoid reversing over long distances.
- If visibility of your road is inadequate, ask someone to help, standing outside the area in which the platform will be
moving, and make sure you always have a good view of this person.

I NSTRUCTIONS FOR WELDING AND BLOW TORCH WORK ON THE EXTERNAL STRUCTURE

Ensure that there are no hydraulic or electrolyte leaks on the platform.

When welding, work in the opposite direction

from the control console to avoid sparks damaging it .

Any welding and cutting (blow torch) work from the basket on a building’s metallic structures requires the following
precautions to be taken:

A - WITH ELECTRIC WELDING EQUIPMENT

- It is essential that the machine has a discharge braid connecting the platform’s chassis to the ground.
- It is also essential that the external structure to be welded is connected to the earth. If the above conditions are
observed, the platform can, in this case, be in contact with the structure or the elements to be welded without
damaging the electronic components.
- The power supply to the welding equipment must be via an earthed socked and any extension required just also be
earthed.
- In all cases, ensure that there are no electrical arcs in the basket or on the platform (contact between the brazing rod or
the torch and the welding equipment’s earth). To ensure this, at any time the welding equipment’s earth must not be
positioned on the platform’s basket but instead only as close as possible to the element to be welded.
- Switch off the welding equipment before disconnecting the earth clamp from the element or elements to be welded.

B - WITH A BLOW TORCH

- Attach the blow torch’s bottles to the basket’s handrails.

- instructions for welding and blow torch work on the external structure
- Do not set the blow torch down on the lip of the basket while it is still operating or point it towards the control console or
its power cables.

The contactor 2 (Fig. B) should be in the position A (transfer of commands on the desk of the platform).
The access platform has two modes of displacements: the transport mode (Fig. D) and the working mode (Fig.E)
(Direction of advance (Fig. C).
- Transport mode: the access platform arms are in low position. This mode is used to move at high speed and
go beyond the slope of the machine (Fig. D) (See chapter : CHARACTERISTICS).
- Working mode: One or many arms of the access platform are lifted or the telescope is gone out. In this mode,
the travelling are made with a small speed, the safeties for the slope and the overload are activated. (Fig. E). the
safeties for the slope and the overload are activated. (Fig. E).

No movement over terrain with a slope greater than the authorised inclination
(see the Chapter: CHARACTERISTICS) or with deformations likely to make the
platform overturn or with the jib higher than horizontal when the machine
is on an unstable surface.

Before driving the platform, ensure that the basket control station is correctly
over the drive wheels; if it is over the steering wheels, the controls will be
reversed compared to the machine’s direction of travel.

INSTALLATION ON THE WORK SITE AND LIFTING

The platform has been designed to work on a flat, horizontal surface: it is important to clear the area where the platform
will operate.

Make sure you are familiar with the instrumentation at the ground backup and maintenance station and the
basket control station, described in the pages above, particularly the warnings indicating the risks linked to
performing certain movements.

- Move the access platform into its working area.

- If necessary, load the equipment and the supplies, distribute the load uniformly (arrange it in a way so as not to
inconvenience the user and avoid any items falling off).
- Climb into the access platform.

It is strongly recommended to wear a safety helmet and harness.

During maneuvres of the access platform (raise, rotate, etc, ...), keep looking above and about you. Watch out in parti-
cular for electric cables and any other objects that may be located in the volume in which the access platform moving.

L OWERING
When the work has been completed : lower the telescope and the arm, returning the machine to the transportation
position.

Watch out carefully for people on the ground when lowering the access platform

STOPPING OF THE ACCESS PLATFORM

When the platform is not being used, switch off the power supply by setting the key-operated contactor to the
Neutral position (see 2 – KEY-OPERATED CONTACTOR).
At the end of the day: recharge the batteries if necessary (see the Chapter "MAINTENANCE INTERVALS").

Always set the battery cut-out to the OFF position when you are not using the platform.
LOADING AND UNLOADING OF THE ACCESS PLATFORM

Check that the safety instructions associated with the flatbed are being obser-
ved before loading the access platform, and make sure that the truck driver is
informed about the dimensional characteristics and the weight of the access
platform. (see chapter: CHARACTERISTICS).

During the loading on a flatbed, the access platform should be in transportation

position: - Counterweight opposite the ramp (counterweight above the access A
platform's steerable wheels) (See 1 - INSTRUCTIONS AND SAFETY
measures ; chapter on SAFETY STICKERS, references 1 and 2).
- Upper arm on its end stop
- Lower and intermediate arm in the low position
- Telescope retracted 4
- The pendular arm can be raised so that it does not touch the ground
but we do not advise you to make any travelling movements with the basket
2
raised too high: keep this in the lowest possible position when manoeuvring
(risk of impacts or falls: see 1 – SAFETY ADVICE AND INSTRUCTIONS;
Chapter DRIVING INSTRUCTIONS). 1
- Lock the turret.
A

Make sure that the dimensions and load capacity of the flatbed are adequate 2 4
for transprorting the access platform. Also check the permissible ground
contact pressure of the flatbed in relation to the access platform.

LOADING
- Chock the wheels of the flatbed item 1 (Fig A). 1
- Secure the loading ramps to the flatbed so as to make the smallest possible
angle for loading the access platform.
B
NB : The machine is represented with a reduce space required (platform is
completely foldep up) (Fig A).

ACCESS PLATFORM RETRACTION PROCEDURE

- Rotate to the left until the basket reaches its stop.

3 3
- Switch on the basket tilt movement to retract the basket under the upper
arm.
- Lower the upper arm, taking care not to bump the basket on the ground. 5
- Switch on the basket tilt movement again to retract the basket as far as
possible under the upper arm.
- Switch on turret rotation to the right so that the overall width does not B
exceed the width of the chassis.

ANCHORING THE ACCESS PLATFORM

3 3
platform.Item 2 (Fig A).
- Also place chocks on the inside and outside of each tyre. Item 3 (Fig A).
- Anchor the access platform to the flatbed using ropes of suitable strength. Tie
the ropes at the front and the rear, passing them through the lifting eyes on

5
UNLOADING

Never drive down from a truck in forward gear (counterweight to the front
above the steerable wheels), the low adhesion of the rear wheels would
reduce braking power.

Ensure that you adapt the platform’s travelling speed by controlling

the speed with the travelling manipulator.
 RESCUE PROCEDURE

This paragraph describes the procedures to be followed and the controls A

to be used if a problem arises (the platform breaks down or someone is
trapped in the basket) while the platform is operating. C
When taking charge of the machine and at regular intervals afterwards,
the operator (and anyone else whose duties are centred on activities in
contac t with the machine) should read and fully understand this
procedure.
1

INDISPOSITION OF THE USER

If the user should be taken ill or become incapable of manoeuvring the

machine, the person on the ground can take over the access platform
controls using the ground backup and maintenance station.
Follow the instructions below:
- Switch the key-operated contactor 1 (Fig. A) on the ground backup and
maintenance console to position C, to take over control of the access B
platform's movements.
1
- Lower the access platform.
2

Pay attention to any structure or obstacle located below the access

C
platform.

 E - OCCASIONAL MAINTENANCE

E1 - B ATTERIES
REPLACE

When it is necessary to replace the battery, it is important to use the batteries with same capacity and weight to guarantee
the stability of the machine.

A traction battery is heavy (265 Kg), so a mechanical lifting system must be used.

PRECAUTION : - Maintain the battery in vertical position during the lifting.

- Watch over to remove the slings to avoid the short-circuit.
- Watch over the good positioning of the battery on the access platform.

In the event of the introduction of new batteries, re-charge after 3 to 4 hours of using and that 3 to 5 times.
