Chapter 1. General information
1.1. DOCUMENTS SUPPLIED
Operating and maintenance manual (this manual)
Supplementary User Instruction Manual (in case of platform classified as electrically
insulated)
Wirings and hydraulic diagrams

Notice:
(*) The supplementary User Instruction Manual is supplied only when a Machine is
classified as electrically insulated and therefore suitable for working near electrical
lines under tension up to 1000 VAC and 1500 VDC.
In case of insulated Machines, the basic manual must be considered to be an integral
part of the supplementary manual and vice versa, so no instructions or prescriptions
present in any of the two manuals must be neglected.
It is important to underline that a Machine may be classified as electrically insulated,
only if it is purpose-built and tested according to the explanations contained in
Supplementary User Instruction Manual and if it is accompanied by the relative
certification.
The mere presence of fiberglass work platform does not mean that the Machine
is classified as electrically insulated and in itself it is not a guarantee of electric
insulation either between Phase-Phase or between Phase-Ground.

NOTES FOR EQUIPMENT SUPPLIED IN KIT FORM:


This instruction manual refers to the complete machine as it is supplied by the
Manufacturer and provides a description of any optional units feasibly supplied on
request and installed on the relative truck.
For machines supplied in assembly “KITS” (which are not installed by the Manufacturer
but by other workshops), the end fitter is responsible for writing the use and
maintenance manual in compliance with the equipment and with current directives.
The documents supplied by the Manufacturer may be used just for the parts that
remain unaltered compared to the original installation.
NOTE: as a general guide, by assembly KIT, we mean the supply of structures and/or
pre-assembled units (boom, superstructure, outriggers) and of the main electrical and
hydraulic components that may be supplied loose, based on the specific supply.
The fitter may need to carry out welding jobs on critical structural components to fulfil
the end rig-out.

2.6. PRECAUTIONS BEFORE YOU START WORK

Carry out the daily checks, as indicated in “6.3.9.1 Daily checks”.

NO
Always stabilize the machine perfectly before starting to work. Choose a suitable
position for the vehicle, standing it on flat, compact and solid ground (refer to “Chapter 4.
Operating instructions”).

Be careful not to position the outriggers on manholes, sewers or similar. Always use the
YES
support plates supplied or other plates supplied by the manufacturer to distribute the loads
evenly (refer to “Chapter 4. Operating instructions”).

Be careful not to lower the outriggers on your own or somebody else’s feet.

When the machine is used on the road or in conditions where it is not clearly visible to
other traffic, use red and white striped trestles and signs to warn others of the presence of
the machine and keep the flashing beacons above the chassis cab switched on at all times.

Connect the earth conductor (PE) to the earth potential in order to protect against indirect
contacts for external connections having voltages above 24 V.

It is mandatory for the work platform operator to wear a protection helmet and to use the
dedicated safety harness to secure himself to the work platform, in compliance with current
Health & Safety standards. The operator on the ground must always wear a protection
helmet.

It is mandatory for the workers on the work platform to fasten the special safety harness.
The harness must be hooked up to the specifically provided rings identified by adhesive
decals. Only one safety harness must be hooked up to each of the rings.

22 FILENAME: PT230 ed.1 rev.0_uso


2.7. PRECAUTIONS WHILE AT WORK
W Always make sure that persons or animals do not stand near the operating
radius of the machine before you start working.

Do not allow other people or load in the vehicle cab in order to avoid
overloading the truck and to protect machine stability.

It is forbidden to place ladders or other structures inside the work platform to increase its
height and/or the working outreach.

It is forbidden to work near high tension electric overhead lines and in any case the work
platform and/or workers and the tools that they use, must always be at a safety distance of
minimum 7 meters from the cables.
Even if the work platform is made of fiberglass, it does not mean that the machine is
classified as being “isolated” nor does it give any guarantee of electrical isolation between
phase-phase or phase-earth lines.

It is forbidden to use the machine when the wind force exceeds the values indicated in the
nameplate (“Chapter 3. Machine description and Performance”).

Do not use the machine during a storm. You get could struck by lightning.

Use the machine exclusively outdoors. Operators could suffer poisoning when working in
enclosed areas such as tunnels, inside buildings etc. by breathing in the carbon monoxide
produced by the exhaust gas of the vehicle engine.
The machine must not be used in potentially explosive atmospheres.

Use the machine exclusively within the admitted temperature range (“Chapter 3. Machine
description and Performance”).

Do not use the machine in the case of poor visibility.

It is forbidden to stand on the truck bed while the work platform is manoeuvring.

It is forbidden to move the vehicle while the operator is onboard the work platform;
automatic blocking devices are in use.

It is forbidden to rest the work platform against other structures, whether permanent or
mobile.
In any case, avoid any contact both with stationary objects (buildings, etc.) and with
moving ones (vehicles, lifting devices, etc.).

It is forbidden to use the work platform as a crane.

23 FILENAME: PT230 ed.1 rev.0_uso


It is forbidden to apply signboards or banners on the work platform or other elements that
can increase the surface exposed to the wind.

All manoeuvres required to approach the working position must be performed by the
operator standing on the work platform. Manoeuvres can be controlled from the ground
control station only in emergencies.

When the operator uses the machine from the emergency ground control panel, he is
within the working envelope of the machine and is therefore subject to the risk of getting
crushed in the case of incorrect manoeuvring. Make all movements at slow speed and with
extreme caution.

Be careful never to drop objects or tools from the work platform.

In the case of oil leaks from the hydraulic system:


- Do not stand too near the leak!
- Oil could spurt out under high pressure from the hydraulic circuit and cause serious
injuries.1 Press the emergency stop button.
2 Disengage the power take-off (PTO).

It is forbidden to get on and off the work platform while it is elevated.

It is forbidden to unload or load objects on and off the work platform while it is elevated.

In machines equipped with a moment limiting device (marked by the sticker on the two
control stations) it is strictly forbidden to load the work platform with materials or people
when the machine is outside the transport position (risk of overturning and/or overloading).

In the case of danger press the emergency stop button.

Do not press the work platform of the machine against the ground.

Do not use the machine if it is not perfectly level (risks of overturning).

Make sure the boom does not interfere with the cab of the vehicle and/or with other parts
of the machine.

24 FILENAME: PT230 ed.1 rev.0_uso


It is forbidden to overload the work platform
The capacity of the work platform is the working load for which the machine is designed
and includes the weight of the operators and the tools required for the specific job (see
Chapter 3 Machine description and Performance).

Never put any part of your body, arms or fingers in articulated openings of the machine.
Inspect using appropriate safety measures and when the parts are blocked in place safely.

Danger: Once the machine is rigged, it is always strictly forbidden:


- to release the handbrake
- to engage a gear
This prohibition is required to eliminate the following residual risk:
If the wheels are not completely raised off the ground (incorrect outrigging) the
engagement of a gear could cause an abnormal and uncontrollable reaction of the
structure, especially if the boom is not in its stand-by position, with serious risks of
damaging the machine and injuring personnel within the working envelope of the
machine.

Note: A beeper warns the operator if the handbrake is released while the power
take-off is engaged.

2.8. PRECAUTIONS WHEN FINISHING OR SUSPENDING


THE JOB

When you raise the outriggers, be careful not to lower the wheels of the vehicle on
your feet or on those of anyone else near the machine.

It is forbidden to leave the machine unsupervised without first having made sure you
have switched the engine off, applied the handbrake, blocked the ground control panel and
locked the cab.

25 FILENAME: PT230 ed.1 rev.0_uso


2.9. MAINTENANCE SAFETY STANDARDS

All maintenance jobs not envisaged in the manual are to be carried out by personnel
authorized by the Manufacturer.

Grease the machine using suitable tools in order to work in total safety.

Perform maintenance work only after pressing the emergency stop button and switching
off the engine.

Respect the environment: be careful not to spill oil when topping-up or changing oil.
Spent oil is to be disposed of according to current standards.

Never put any part of your body, arms or fingers in articulated and sharp openings of
the machine. Inspect using appropriate safety measures and when the parts are blocked in
place safely.

Do not insert limbs or other parts of the body between the horizontal structures of the
parapet during rotation of the work platform.

When the operator uses the machine from the emergency ground control panel, he is within
the working envelope of the machine and is therefore subject to the risk of getting crushed
in the case of incorrect manoeuvring. Make all movements at slow speed and with extreme
caution.

Never use petrol or solvents or any other flammable liquids to clean the equipment: use
authorized, inflammable and non-toxic commercial solvents.

When using compressed air to clean parts of the machine, always wear goggles with side
protection and do not exceed a maximum pressure of 2 atm (1.9 bar).

Do not use naked flames to illuminate parts during maintenance.

Make sure that all parts of the hydraulic circuit are tightened firmly in place.

Before you dismantle unions or pipes, make sure they do not contain pressurised fluids:
oil could spurt out under pressure and cause serious injuries. Seek medical assistance
immediately in the case of injury or if you should accidentally swallow fluids that leak
from the pipes etc. In particular, remember that any fluid that leaks from minute holes may
be almost invisible but could have enough force to penetrate skin. Use a piece of cardboard
or wood to search for possible leaks.

26 FILENAME: PT230 ed.1 rev.0_uso


Never do it with your hands! Seek medical assistance immediately if the fluid should
come into contact with your skin. You could suffer serious infections or skin irritations if
you do not seek medical advice.

Disconnect the battery before working on the electrics.

Warning: Before connecting chargers or boosters to the vehicle batteries you


must remove the power take-off circuit 30 Amp fuse from the power take-off
system. Failure to adopt this precaution may result in damage occurring to the
electrical system.

Warning: The ballast installed on the machine (if foreseen) is an essential


component for securing its stability, so it is strictly forbidden both to take it off and
to modify it.
Should it be necessary to take it off to perform an intervention of maintenance, the
machine must be put in transport position with the boom resting on the support
structure; then, before making any movement with the machine, the ballast must
be put back and fixed in its original position.

THE MANUFACTURER IS NOT LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGE OR INJURIES


CAUSED BY INOBSERVANCE OF THE WARNINGS AND SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS.

27 FILENAME: PT230 ed.1 rev.0_uso


2.10. RESIDUAL RISKS AND RELEVANT PRECAUTIONS

The list of residual risks has been split-up based on the operational phases to make it easier to
read and quicker to look-up the risks. What’s more, some risks that may reoccur in a number
of phases, are written in just one for the sake of simplicity (for example: if the machine is
moved during maintenance, all the risks related to the movement of the machine itself are to
be considered). You are therefore recommended to read the whole list carefully.

3.1. EQUIPMENT STRUCTURE

This heading describes the main elements of the equipment and their function.

Fig. 5. Assembly view of the equipment

C B
D

A A

3.1.1. Main parts of the equipment


SUBFRAME
The subframe consists of a cold-formed structure in highly resilient steel that bears the
outriggers and the base plate on which the superstructure rests. To ensure outstanding
torsional rigidity, the structure is completed with connection cross beams and suitable
reinforcement boxing. The whole structure is then bolted to the truck with highly resistant
bolts. The truck is covered with non-slip sheet plate plateau.

OUTRIGGERS
There are 4 outriggers A of the vertical extensible type with hydraulically operated horizontal
extension.
The outriggers are operated by means of 6 levers located under the plateau. The extension
hydraulic circuit is totally independent for each outrigger so that the truck can be perfectly
levelled even on uneven ground. The cylinders have pilot controlled load holding valves.

SLEWING UNIT AND TURRET


The superstructure slews on a slew ring installed between the turret and the subframe. The
slewing movement is driven by a hydraulic motor equipped with a negative brake and worm
gear unit. The slew turret B, made of cold-formed steel, is boxed to ensure perfect torsional
rigidity.

TELESCOPING BOOM
Telescoping boom C is composed of a base boom and three extending sections; the boom is
extended by means of a double-acting hydraulic cylinder equipped with a load-holding and
balancing valve and a system of chains for proportional extension.
The structures are tubular and made of cold-formed steel. The telescoping boom is raised by
double-acting hydraulic cylinder equipped with load-holding valve and balancing system.

35 FILENAME: PT230 ed.1 rev.0_uso


WORK PLATFORM AND LEVELLING
The work platform or bucket D is designed to take two operators and is complete with
hydraulic rotation system 90° right and 90° left.
The platform is levelled by means of a double-acting hydraulic cylinder equipped with a load
holding valve.

OTHER CHARACTERISTICS:
1. Dual electrohydraulic controls with activation from the work platform and from
the ground (emergency control panel). A key-operated selector switch prevents
simultaneous operation of both control stations.
2. Safety interlock device between outriggers and superstructure.
3. Moment limiting device with inhibition of dangerous movements once the maximum
radius is exceeded, in accordance with the load capacity.
4. Hand pump, operated from the plateau, for lowering in emergency situations.
5. Electrical 220 Volt socket on the work platform.
6. Electric motor pump 220V (optional).

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
The hydraulic system is composed as follows:
• gear pump connected to the vehicle gearbox via a power take-off;
• 52 l tank with breather and air filter;
• high pressure 25 micron filter on the pressure line, having the function of providing
optimal protection for the hydraulic circuit;
• Electro-hydraulic directional control valve for superstructure movements, with built-in
changeover valve for selection of movements of outriggers or superstructure.
• directional control manifold for activation of the outriggers;
• flexible hoses housed inside the metal structure of the telescoping boom in such a way
as to ensure the maximum levels of protection and safety;
• load holding and balancing valves on the cylinders;
• negative brake on the turret slewing hydraulic motor;
• emergency hand pump.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The electrical system is composed of the following:
• emergency ground control panel;
• operator work platform control panel;
• automotive standard cables routed in corrugated conduit with top quality sealed
connectors; the wiring looms are housed inside the metal members of the boom to
guarantee enhanced protection;
• sensors located in a protected position.

3.2.4.1. Truck inclination warning light


The work platform control panel is equipped with yellow indicator lights showing the
approximate inclination of the truck; the indicator lights can be useful to obtain an
approximate idea of truck inclination both before starting the outrigging cycle and to assess
the angle in F.A.S.T. outrigging, and also for initial troubleshooting of the truck angle sensor
status.
The correspondence between illumination of the indicator lights and the truck angle is shown
in the following table:

3.2.5. Hydraulic assembly for emergency manoeuvres
This heading describes the hydraulic assemblies responsible for emergency operation of the
machine. In normal conditions the valves are operated electrically and hence do not need to be
touched by the operators. In emergency conditions for machine closing manoeuvres using the
hand pump (refer to heading “5.3 PROCEDURE TO BE FOLLOWED IN THE EVENT OF
FAULTS IN THE POWER AND/OR SUPPLY AND/OR COMMAND AND/OR CONTROL
SYSTEMS”) the assembly must be activated manually.

3.2.5.1. Hand pump


This device is used to move the machine in the case of breakdown of the vehicle engine, of
the electrical system or breakage of the power take-off/main pump.

Note: For movement of the superstructure and retraction of the outriggers in


emergency conditions refer to heading “5.3. PROCEDURE TO BE FOLLOWED IN
THE EVENT OF FAULTS IN THE POWER AND/OR SUPPLY AND/OR COMMAND
AND/OR CONTROL SYSTEMS”.

Caution: In normal operating conditions the levers must be removed and returned
to the specific toolbox.

3.3. SAFETY DEVICES

Warning: Always make sure the safety devices are working


efficiently.
While at work, the operator must be able to evaluate, recognise and avoid all
possible danger and must warn his foreman of any faults noticed so that they can be
rectified accordingly and so that the original conditions of safety and reliability can be
restored immediately.

This heading describes the main safety functions and the relative devices and sensors
involved:

removed, prevents movements from the station on the ground
on behalf of unauthorized personnel and so that the movements
can only be made from the work platform.
An emergency stop button A2-C1 on both control stations (on
the ground and on the work platform), which stops the machine
in the case of emergency by disconnecting the power supply
and switching off the vehicle engine. Both buttons always work,
independently of the control station actually selected.
The pilot controlled load holding valves fitted on the cylinders
are flanged directly to the cylinders or connected with rigid
piping.
The hand pump E, mounted on the casing of the front RH
outrigger, is used to lower personnel in the bucket in the case of
emergencies or in the case of faults of the pump of the hydraulic
circuit.

ANTI-COLLISION DEVICES
The machine is equipped with a series of anti-collision devices
that prevent damage to its structural parts. Tripping of the anti-
collision devices is signalled by illumination of red indicator
lights A23-C28 and potentially by illumination of red
indicator lights A21/A22-C24/C25 on the control panels.
Under the sole responsibility of the operator, the anti-collision
device can be bypassed by means of buttons A13-C7 on the
control panels.
The following anti-collision devices are installed on the
machine:

Chapter 4. Operating instructions

Note: All references to buttons, selector switches etc. on the various control panels
comply with all stated in heading “3.2 OPERATOR INTERFACE”. Please refer to this
chapter for the individual descriptions.

4.1. OPERATOR QUALIFICATION


The EWP shall be used exclusively by personnel adequately trained and informed on how to
use it and who have studied and fully understood the information given herein.

Note: Before you start to use the equipment, run the daily checks, as explained in
Chapter 6 Maintenance.

4.2. PRELIMINARY PROCEDURES

Notice: It is of crucial importance for all the prohibitions stated in Chapter 2 Safety
information to be observed without fail. Before you stabilize the machine, choose the
place where you wish to position the equipment with care, making sure that you can
operate in total safety (refer to “4.2.1 Checking up the nature and conditions of the
ground for the outrigging of the machine”).

Note: Turn the flashing beacon/s on (when available) using the dedicated switch in
the cab and pointed out by the dedicated symbol .

4.2.1. Checking up the nature and conditions of the ground for


the outrigging of the machine
To be able to operate the machine safely it must be positioned on sufficiently solid ground. It
is also important to choose a suitable place to use the machine to be able to carry out the work
schedule correctly.
The place of work must be chosen so that:
- the risk of the slipping of the stabilized machine is avoided.
- the consistency of the ground withstands the pressure of the outriggers (see max. load
indicated).
- the outriggers can be extended sufficiently.

Danger: To assure safe operation of the machine it must be stabilized on sufficiently


compact, level, and non slippery ground.
If this condition is not observed the risk of accidents will increase.

63 FILENAME: PT230 ed.1 rev.0_uso


4.2.1.1. Suitability of the ground against the risk of slipping of
stabilized machine
An extremely important requirement that a ground has to satisfy in order to be regarded as
suitable, further to what was evidenced in the other points of heading 4.2.1, is that it does not
cause the slipping of the machine once it has been stabilized.
The two following factors determine the increase of the risk of the slipping:
• Inclination
• Insufficient adherence (i.e. slipperiness) (due to a low friction coefficient)
The two above mentioned factors must be evaluated with much attention and simultaneously.
Indeed, there are no acceptable values of one “factor” that might exclude the risk of slipping if
the other “factor” should turn out to be extremely unfavourable. In fact, an almost flat ground
could be unsuitable, in case of icy surface, while a surface with high adherence would be
regarded as unsuitable in case the inclination should be too big.

INCLINATION OF THE GROUND: ideal condition for the outrigging of a machine is a


horizontal flat surface, although, in fact, this condition of the ground is very rare. In fact, the
outriggers are designed and manufactured, not only to guarantee the stability of the machine,
but also to compensate the inclination of the ground, thus allowing the outrigging of the
machine in a horizontal position.
Machine must be stabilized on a surface, which is as flat and horizontal as possible; in any
case, it is severely forbidden to stabilize, i.e. to operate with a machine positioned on a
ground with more than 4.5° = approx. 8% inclination (both longitudinal and transversal).

ADHERENCE OF THE GROUND: ideal condition is a dry (not icy), solid and rough
surface (high friction coefficient). The less of the above mentioned ideal characteristics the
ground presents, the less inclined and irregular it must be. Moreover, up to now, simple,
accurate and reliable instruments for the measuring of the friction between outriggers and
the ground are not available, therefore, it is important to be extremely careful, in case the
conditions of the use of the machines should deviate from the ideal conditions.
In case of even the smallest inclination, it is severely forbidden to stabilize the machine
on the following ground:
• icy and/or snow-covered ground
• very smooth and wet ground (for example, polished wet marble offers an adherence
almost equal to zero);
• non solid and/or friable ground;
• muddy ground
In any case, a reduction of maximum admitted inclination value, is recommended, when
the machine is stabilized on the following surfaces:
• Smooth surfaces with scarce adherence;
• Wet surfaces
• Surfaces covered with grass, moss, leaves, chippings etc.

Note: In case of doubts about the suitability of the ground, do not stabilize nor utilize
the machine.

64 FILENAME: PT230 ed.1 rev.0_uso


4.2.1.2. Admitted pressure of the ground
Before you start working with the machine you may need to determine the conditions of the
ground in terms of load-bearing capacity and solidity, using specific testers (if necessary,
analyse the ground using specific testers). After this, based on the conditions of the ground,
you may need to use additional plates. These additional plates must be requested from the
Manufacturer who declines all forms of liability with regard to accidents that may possibly
occur if you use other unsuitable additional plates.
The maximum pressure applied on the ground is calculated by dividing the maximum vertical
load of each individual outrigger on the ground (see vertical load plate) by the area of the
support plate in cm².

Vertical load
Pressure on the ground = --------------------------------------------------
Area of the support plate in cm²

The calculated pressure applied on the ground must always be lower than the admitted
pressure for the corresponding type of ground.
The minimum supporting surface required can be calculated by dividing the maximum load
applied by the individual outrigger on the ground by the capacity permitted by the type of
ground.

Vertical load
Minimum required supporting surface area in cm² = --------------------------------------
Admitted load-bearing capacity of the ground in daN/cm²

The available support surface must never be less than the minimum calculated support
surface.
Indications on the specific pressures admitted on the ground are given in standard DIN 1054
“Admitted loads on foundation ground”, an abstract of which is included in the table that
follows.

4.3. ENGAGING/DISENGAGING THE POWER TAKE-OFF/
PUMP OF THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM

4.3.1. Engaging the power take-off/pump


1. Bring the vehicle to the required position and immobilise the wheels with the
handbrake.
2. Put the gear lever in neutral.
3. Start the hydraulic system pump: press the clutch pedal fully down and then engage the
power take-off (PTO) by activating the control composed of the specific lever located
alongside the vehicle driver seat and the pushbutton/selector on the dashboard (in the
case of an electrically controlled PTO).
4. Confirmation that the power take-off (PTO) has been engaged is provided by
illumination of a red indicator light on the vehicle dashboard.
5. Release the clutch pedal slowly to avoid the situation wherein possible incorrect
meshing of the PTO with the transmission gear results in damage to the gearbox (if
necessary, repeat the procedure outlined in point 3).
6. Alight from the vehicle cab and close the door;
the machine is now ready for the outrigging procedure (see heading 4.4) and, thereafter,
for operative use.

4.3.2. Disengaging the power take-off/pump


Once you have finished the job and after having completely retracted the outriggers (heading
4.4) you can proceed as follows:
1. Get back in the cab.
2. Press the clutch pedal and disengage the power take-off by means of the specific lever
alongside the driver seat or the pushbutton/selector on the dashboard (for electrically
controlled power take-off). Effective disengagement of the power take-off is confirmed
when the dashboard red indicator light switches off.
3. Release the handbrake and switch off the rotary beacon(s) by means of the switch
marked with the specific symbol .
The machine is now ready for road travel.

Notice: To avoid damaging the power take-off/pump, never engage the gears or
start to drive the vehicle while the power take-off is engaged.

Note: A beeper warns the operator if the handbrake is released while the power
take-off is engaged.

Notice: Before travelling on the road, make sure that the outriggers are retracted
completely and that the indicator lights B (3.2.1. CAB LEDS), A29 (3.2.2 GROUND
CONTROL PANEL) and C20 (3.2.4 WORK PLATFORM CONTROL PANEL) are off.

Notice: Before you start to drive away, always make sure the red indicator light of
the power take-off is switched off.

4.4. OUTRIGGING
4.4.1. General information
After correctly performing the procedures described in headings 4.2 and 4.3, machine
outrigging operations can be performed on the active control station.
Irrespective of the chosen configuration, outrigging can be performed in two different ways:
• Manual outrigging from the directional control valve located on the right-hand side of
the machine.
• Automatic outrigging from the control panels on the work platform and on the ground
(optional).

4.4.2. Manual outrigging

Note: When rigging the machine, keep it as level as possible without twisting the
subframe excessively. To stabilize the machine correctly, extend the outriggers
until the wheels of the vehicle are completely off the ground.

• The outriggers control station is located in the centre of the RH side of the machine.
• To identify the movements observe the indications on the nameplates.
• To activate any single outrigger turn selector A1 to the “outriggers” symbol and operate
the directional control valve levers.
• The outriggers can be operated individually in order to position the machine so that it is
always perfectly level.

Fig. 19. Circular level

YES NO
• To stabilize the machine correctly lower the outriggers to relieve the weight from the
chassis cab wheels.

Danger: Once the machine is rigged, it is always strictly forbidden:


- to release the handbrake
- to engage a gear
This prohibition is required to eliminate the following residual risk:
If the wheels are not completely raised off the ground (incorrect outrigging) the
engagement of a gear could cause an abnormal and uncontrollable reaction of
the structure, especially if the boom is not in its stand-by position, with serious
risks of damaging the machine and injuring personnel within the working
envelope of the machine.

4.4.3. Sequence of operations for correct manual outrigging


1. Insert the key in selector A1 of the outriggers control panel located on the right-hand side
of the truck and turn it to the “outriggers” symbol.
2. Depending on the required outrigging configuration, if necessary extend the outrigger
cross beams on the left and/or right side using levers B5 and B6 until the associated
indicator lights A27 and C18 switch on.
3. Lower the front left and right outriggers using levers B3 and B4 until the shoes are just
a few cm from the ground.
4. Lower the rear left and right outriggers using levers B1 and B2 until the shoes are just a
few cm from the ground.
69 FILENAME: PT230 ed.1 rev.0_uso
5. Repeat steps 2 and 3 in sequence until green indicator lights A28 and C19 switch
on, thereby indicating that the outrigger plate is in contact with the ground and the rear
wheels are raised.
6. Complete the machine outrigging procedure until all the vehicle wheels have been lifted
clear of the ground, checking that the truck is level using the spirit level (refer to Fig. 16
“Circular level”) visible on the side of the outriggers control station.
If the vehicle has been levelled correctly, the bubble must be in the centre of the circular
level.
7. On completing these operations, remember to remove the key from the outriggers control
panel so that unauthorised persons cannot inhibit operation of the system: you can now
board the work platform to start work.

Notice: Do not extend the cross beams with the outrigger shoes in contact with the
ground as this could result in structural damage to the machine.

Danger: Irrespective of the outrigging type it is anyway the responsibility of the


operator to check to ensure the rear and front wheels are effectively raised from the
ground.

4.4.4. Procedure for correct raising of outriggers and


deactivation

Notice: Before raising the outriggers ensure that the machine boom is in its rest
position.
An interlock device prevents movement of the outriggers if the boom is not positioned
correctly.

Note:In the outriggers raising procedure keep the machine levelled as far as
possible within just a few degrees from the horizontal in order to avoid excessive
twisting of the subframe.

Notice: When you raise the outriggers, be careful not to lower the wheels of the
vehicle on your feet or on those of anyone else near the machine.

Note: Perform the following operations until the machine tyres are resting on the
ground; once this condition has been achieved, the outriggers can be completely
lifted.

1. Insert the key in selector A1 of the outriggers control panel located on the right-hand
side of the truck and turn it to the “outriggers” symbol.
2. Raise the rear right and left outriggers using levers B1 and B2 by approximately 10 cm.
3. Raise the front right and left outriggers using levers B3 and B4 by approximately 10
cm.
4. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until the outriggers have been raised completely.
5. Retract the outrigger cross beams using levers B5 and B6.

Notice: Do not retract the cross beams with the outrigger shoes in contact with the
ground as this could result in structural damage to the machine.

Notice: Before travelling on the road, make sure that the outriggers are retracted
completely and that the indicator lights B (3.2.1. CAB LEDS), A29 (3.2.2 GROUND
CONTROL PANEL) and C20 (3.2.4 WORK PLATFORM CONTROL PANEL) are off.

70 FILENAME: PT230 ed.1 rev.0_uso


Notice: If the truck is to be driven, perform the procedure for disengagement of the
power take-off as described in heading 4.3.

4.4.5. Automatic outrigging (optional)


Automatic outrigging is performed from the active control station by means of the dedicated
command for the required outrigging type, specifically:
Type 1 -> Button A15 or selector C14 in upward direction: outrigging with cross beams
fully extended, LH side
Type 2 -> Button A18 or selector C16 in upward direction: outrigging with cross beams
fully extended, RH side
Type 3 -> Button A17 or selector C14 in downward direction: outrigging with cross beams
in the vehicle envelope
Type 4 -> Button A14 or selector C16 in upward direction: outrigging with cross beams
fully extended
Type 5 -> Selectors C15 and C14 simultaneously in downward direction: F.A.S.T.
outrigging with cross beams in the vehicle envelope (*)
Type 6 -> Selectors C15 and C16 simultaneously in downward direction: F.A.S.T.
outrigging with cross beams fully extended (*)

(*) The F.A.S.T. type outrigging commands are provided exclusively on the work platform
control panel

4.4.5.1. Outrigging of type 1, 2, 3, 4 - Sequence of operations


for correct automatic outrigging
To perform the automatic outrigging cycle:
Activate the command for the chosen outrigging configuration and hold it in position; for
safety reasons the cycle starts after a 2 second interval;
Continue to hold the command for the chosen outrigging configuration until the outrigging
cycle is completed, i.e. until green indicator lights A28 and C19switch on.
If you want to raise the machine still further release and then activate and maintain the
command for the chosen outrigging configuration until the next time green indicator lights
A28 and C19 switch on. This procedure can be repeated until the outriggers reach their full
stroke position.

Note: If the control is released during the outrigging cycle, you can restart exclusively
the cycle relative to the previously started cycle; alternatively you must retract the
outriggers to their transport position before activating a cycle associated with a
different outrigger configuration.

Warning: It is anyway the operator’s responsibility to check that the rear wheels and
front wheels are effectively raised; provided the front and rear wheels of the vehicle
are fully and securely raised from the ground, we recommend lifting the vehicle to the
minimum possible height.

Caution: The operator is responsible for checking that the machine is level at all times
by means of the spirit level (see Fig. 17 “Circular level on plateau”).

71 FILENAME: PT230 ed.1 rev.0_uso


Fig. 20. Circular level on the plateau

YES NO

4.4.5.2. Outrigging type 5 and 6: F.A.S.T. outrigging


F.A.S.T. type outrigging is available exclusively on machines equipped with the automatic
outrigging option.
F.A.S.T. type outrigging functions 5 and 6 constitute variants, respectively, of outrigging in the
vehicle envelope type 3 and outrigging with cross beams fully extended type 4, and they allow
faster and/or easier outrigging of the machine because they have fewer restrictions in relation
to lifting of the rear wheels and levelling of the truck.
The differences between F.A.S.T. outrigging and the corresponding standard outrigging are
summarised in the following table:

Tab. 9. Differences between F.A.S.T. and standard outrigging


OUTRIGGING IN THE VEHICLE EXTENDED OUTRIGGING

Wheels with
respect to the Raised Touching the ground Raised Touching the ground
ground
Max truck level +/-1.5° transverse
deviation angle 0° 0° 0°
+/-2° longitudinal
In the case of F.A.S.T. outrigging the working envelope is automatically reduced (heading 3.4.2).
F.A.S.T. outrigging is especially useful in situations in which maximum performance can be
sacrificed to obtain greater ease and/or speed of positioning.

Note: If the machine is not equipped with the automatic outrigging option with
F.A.S.T. mode, adhere strictly to the operating and outrigging instructions for the
Standard machine: maximum truck level deviation angle of 0° and all wheels raised
from the ground.

Caution: F.A.S.T. outrigging makes it possible to rig the machine on gradients


of up to 8°, which is greater than the limits established in general terms in heading
“4.2.1.1. Suitability of the ground against the risk of slipping of stabilized machine”. In
this case the operator must adopt additional precautions against the risk of slipping
of the machine both in terms of checking the terrain and grip on the ground and in
terms of specific measures designed to anchor the machine to the ground to prevent
slippage. These measures can be (not mutually exclusive):
- Park the vehicle facing the down gradient in such a way as to leave the wheels
immobilised with the handbrake in contact with the ground (for the Nissan Cabstar
and Renault Maxity the handbrake immobilises the rear wheels)
- Use the supplied chocks or other suitable devices to immobilise the vehicle
- In the case of terrain with a significant gradient (more than 4.5°) do not use the

72 FILENAME: PT230 ed.1 rev.0_uso


standard additional plates made of plastic; instead use spreader plates made of
material with a higher friction coefficient, if necessary with additional restraining
means (raised edges, collars) as shown in the following figure. If necessary, suitable
optional spreader plates can be ordered from Isoli S.p.a.

Do not rig the machine using normal


plastic spreader plates
Warning: Unlike standard outrigging methods, F.A.S.T. outrigging makes it possible to
leave the wheels in contact with the ground. This type of outrigging is therefore normally
associated with a residual risk, highlighted repeatedly in this manual, related to possible
accidents and injury to persons and/or damage to property if a gear is selected and the
vehicle is moved before having returned the boom to its rest position and retracted the
outriggers completely. As an additional means of alerting the operator in the vehicle cab,
apart from the red indicator light which is constantly illuminated until the outriggers are
completely retracted, also an audible warning signal sounds if the handbrake is released
when the outriggers are not completely retracted.

Sequence of operations for correct automatic outrigging


To perform the F.A.S.T. automatic outrigging cycle:
activate and hold selector C15 and thereafter one of the two selectors C14 or C16 for the required
F.A.S.T. outrigging configuration; for safety reasons the cycle starts after a 2 second interval;
continue to hold both selectors in position until the outrigging cycle is completed, i.e. until
green indicator lights A28 and C19 switch on; in F.A.S.T. outrigging mode the green
indicator lights will blink slowly.

Note: If the control is released during the outrigging cycle, you can restart
exclusively the cycle relative to the previously started cycle; alternatively you must
retract the outriggers to their transport position before activating a cycle associated
with a different outrigger configuration.

Caution: The operator must use the spirit level (see Fig. 19 “Circular level on the
plateau”) at all times to check that truck inclination is within the limits specified in this
heading.

4.4.5.3. Automatic raising and closing of outriggers

Caution: Before proceeding, check that the superstructure is in the transport


position.
Notice: When you raise the outriggers, be careful not to lower the wheels of the
vehicle on your feet or on those of anyone else near the machine.

Automatic lifting and closing are performed from the active control station, holding button
A16 or selector C15 in the upward direction until complete closure (red indicator lights
A29 - C20 switched off).
For safety reasons the cycle starts after a 2 second interval and consists first of the complete
raising of the four outriggers followed by retraction of the extended cross beams.

Notice: Before travelling on the road, make sure that the outriggers are retracted
completely and that the indicator light B (“3.2.1. Cab indicator lights”) is switched off.

Notice: Before you start to drive away, always make sure the red indicator light of
the power take-off is switched off.

4.5. MOVEMENTS OF THE SUPERSTRUCTURE


After performing correct outrigging of the machine as described in heading 4.4, you can move
the superstructure.

4.5.1. Selecting the control station


Selection procedure:
Selection of the chosen control panel is performed by means of key-operated selector A1
located on the ground control panel: in the central position the work platform control station
is active; in the left-hand position the ground control station is active. The ground control
panel is only to be used for emergency movements.
Enabling procedure
The ground control panel is activated as soon as it is selected by means of the key-operated
selector.
Conversely, in the case of initial activation or following operation of the emergency stop
button, the work platform control panel must be activated also by pressing button C2.(*)

Note: The selector is equipped with two identical keys, one of which is to be kept in
the glove compartment inside the driver’s cab.

In normal conditions, the operator turns the selector to manoeuvre the work platform and must
take the key out of the selector A1 before he abandons the ground control panel.

Note: The emergency stop buttons are always enabled on both stations,
independently of the station actually selected.

Notice. After carrying out a routine maintenance job or after the equipment has
been left inoperative for some time and in any event only in the case of absolute
need, the ground control panel must be used for loadless tests without any operators
in the work platform.

(*) The diagnostic LEDs C32 of the work platform control station all flashing show
that the station has been selected with key-operated selector A1 but not yet enabled
with button C2.
74 FILENAME: PT230 ed.1 rev.0_uso
4.5.2. Emergency stop button

Note: There is an emergency stop button on both control stations. Both buttons are
always enabled despite the control station actually selected and, when pressed, they
disconnect the electrical power supply and stop the engine of the vehicle.

Use the emergency stop button in the case of danger, emergency, abnormal behaviour of the
machine (for example, if the movements do not match the controls selected) or more generally
speaking, if you should feel that something is not under control.

Notice: If you should stop the machine in the case of emergency and especially in the
case of faults on the machine, do not start the engine again or release the emergency
stop button before you have resolved the problem (contact the Manufacturer's Service
centre).

4.5.3. Starting/stopping the engine from the ground or from


the work platform
Preliminary conditions:
• Machine correctly rigged as per procedure described in
heading “4.4 OUTRIGGING”.
• Required control panel (ground or work platform) enabled.
• Vehicle engine off/on.

4.5.3.1. Start from ground or work platform control panel:


1. Press button A10 (ground control panel) or set selector C13 (work platform) to the
upward position and hold it in place until the engine starts.
2. Release the selector or the button once the engine has started.

4.5.3.2. Stop from ground or work platform control panel:


The engine can be stopped by pressing emergency stop button A2 or C1. With the work
platform control panel enabled the engine can be stopped also by setting selector C13to its
downward position.

Note: You are in any event recommended to use this device if working at heights for
more than 10 minutes in order to avoid wearing the starting system of the engine.

4.5.4. Operating the superstructure


In order to operate correctly, the system must be activated in accordance with the following
procedure:

4.5.4.1. From the ground control panel


To execute movements, proportional joystick A3 for speed control and the pushbutton for the
chosen manoeuvre must be activated simultaneously.
When starting, in order to execute the movement gradually, first press the pushbutton relative
to the movement and then gradually move proportional joystick A3.
When stopping, to achieve a gradual stop, first slowly release proportional joystick A3 and
then, once the movement has stopped, release the movement pushbutton.

Note: All movements are to be made by gradually adjusting the speed of the
movement selected so as not to cause high accelerations and decelerations and in
particular you must moderate the speed when you approach the limits of the working
envelope.
75 FILENAME: PT230 ed.1 rev.0_uso
Danger: When the operator uses the EWP from the emergency ground control
panel, he is within the working envelope of the EWP and is therefore subject to the
risk of getting crushed in the case of incorrect manoeuvring.
Make all movements at slow speed and with extreme caution.

4.5.4.2. From the work platform control panel


Using the joystick or the selector relative to the required movement (see “3.2.4 WORK
PLATFORM CONTROL PANEL - Main control station”), perform the manoeuvre, gradually
adjusting the required speed, until it is completed.
Now gradually release the selection lever or the selector.

Note: Before starting to operate freely, the superstructure must be raised sufficiently
to avoid interference with the outriggers and/or the access ladder.

Note:All movements are to be made by gradually adjusting the speed of the


movement selected so as not to cause high accelerations and decelerations and in
particular you must moderate the speed when you approach the limits of the working
envelope.

4.5.5. Inhibiting anti-collision devices


As already stated in heading 3.3, the machine is equipped with the following devices:
• Transport position anti-collision
• Anti-collision between superstructure and rear outriggers, access ladder, rear underrun
protection, plateau and boom support structure.
• Anti-collision between superstructure and cab or front outriggers
Operation of the anti-collision devices, shown by illumination of red indicator lights A23
and C28 on the control panels, causes potential collision movements to be inhibited.
To exit an anti-collision inhibit condition the operator must activate the appropriate
movements in accordance with the contents of the following table.
ANTI-COLLISION ESCAPE MOVEMENTS NOTES

From the active control station, hold button A13 or C7 to inhibit the anti-collision devices
when necessary.
Use of the inhibit button, under the full responsibility of the operator, must be restricted to
exceptional situations, e.g. disengagement from special configurations.
When the inhibit button is pressed, red indicator lights A23 and C28 on the control panels
76 FILENAME: PT230 ed.1 rev.0_uso
illuminate in blinking mode.

Notice: During movement of the machine with the anti-collision system disabled,
proceed with the utmost caution and at low speed.
Manoeuvres are performed under the full responsibility of the operator and the
Manufacturer cannot be held liable in any whatsoever manner for possible accidents.

Danger: When the operator uses the machine from the emergency ground control
panel, he is within the working envelope of the machine and is therefore subject to
the risk of getting crushed in the case of incorrect manoeuvring. Make all movements
at slow speed and with extreme caution.

4.5.6. Semiautomatic work platform and slew turret alignment


function
This function makes it possible to align the work platform with the boom (green indicator
lights A24 and C27 illuminated) and the slew turret with the support (green indicator lights
A25 and C21 illuminated). Holding button A16 or C4 “HOME FUNCTION”, slew the
work platform or the slew turret towards the centre. The system will automatically arrest the
slewing movement when the work platform or the turret are aligned.

Note: Because work platform movement features ON-OFF control it may anyway be
necessary to align or correct the alignment manually.

Note: The semiautomatic function is not active if the optional “HOME FUNCTION”
(heading 4.5.7) is available.

4.5.7. Automatic home function for returning to the transport


position (optional)

Note: The “Home Function” is not enabled when the machine is operated by the
electric motor pump.

This function makes it possible to return the superstructure to the transport position by
holding down buttons A16 or C4 on the enabled control panel. For safety reasons the cycle
will start after a 2 second interval.
The sequence of superstructure movements to return to the transport position depends on the
angle of the boom at the time of activation of the function and hence on the need to avoid
possible collisions with the cab or with the outriggers; the sequence is as follows:
1. Raising of the boom to above the level of the cab or of the outriggers (only if necessary in
order to avoid collisions with the cab and/or the outriggers).
2. Work platform alignment (this manoeuvre can be performed at the same time as manoeuvre 3).
3. Complete retraction of the boom (this movement can be performed at the same time as
movement 2 or, if movement 2 is terminated, with movement 4).
4. Turret slewing until correct alignment with the support structure (green indicator lights A25 and
C21 illuminated) (this manoeuvre can be performed at the same time as manoeuvre 4 or 6).
5. Lowering of the boom onto the support.

Warning: During execution of automatic return to the transport position always pay
attention to the trajectory that the superstructure is describing; suspend the cycle
immediately (by releasing the button or pressing the emergency stop pushbutton)
if you perceive that the some elements of the superstructure are about to impact
against an obstacle, whether the obstacle is constituted by parts of the EWP or by an
external element.
77 FILENAME: PT230 ed.1 rev.0_uso
Note: We recommend moving the superstructure to a position close to the transport
position in a relatively clear area of the working site, after which activate the
automatic home function for returning to the transport position.

Notice: Each time the mobile protection of the access to the fiberglass work
platform is lifted up, a microswitch prevents/ stops the movements of the whole
machine (only for the version with mobile access protection functioning as parapet).

78 FILENAME: PT230 ed.1 rev.0_uso


1. Enable the work platform station by pressing pushbutton C2 on the work platform control
panel. Enabling of the control station is confirmed by illumination of indicator light C30.
2. Raise the telescoping boom to above the horizontal position by activating the corresponding
command, gradually adjusting the movement speed.
5. Extend the boom, activating the corresponding command, gradually adjusting the speed of
movement.
6. If necessary, rotate the work platform by activating the corresponding command, gradually
adjusting the speed of movement.
7. If necessary, slew the turret by activating the corresponding command and gradually
adjusting the speed of movement.

Notice: Even though the machine is equipped with anti-collision systems, it is


anyway prohibited to slew the turret or extend the boom before the boom has been
raised from the support structure.
Pay attention to the risk of interference with the access ladder, the rear underrun
protection, or other parts of the EWP.

Notice. Even if the work platform is designed to minimise the risk of crushing hands
thanks to the parapet fitted further back compared to the outer edge, operators must
pay attention to some residual risks to which they are still exposed, namely:
- the operator who uses the controls must keep his hands on the console and must
be careful not to knock against obstacles (walls, roofs, posts, etc.....);
- the passenger must be careful where he holds on to:
1) for horizontal movements of the work platform, he must always put his hands on
the parapet in the point opposite the direction in which the movement is made;
2) for vertical movements of the work platform, he must put his hands on the vertical
columns of the work platform, preferably on the side where the controls are situated
(refer to Fig. 22 “Work platform”).

4.6.3. Procedure for manual retreating from the working


height
To retreat from the working height, align the work platform with the boom (§ 4.5.6) and then,
in general, follow the sequence of movements from 1-6 utilised by the “Home Function” (§
4.5.7).

79 FILENAME: PT230 ed.1 rev.0_uso


4.7. USING THE MACHINE WITH THE MOMENT LIMITING
DEVICE - Precautions
This heading describes the use of machines equipped with a moment limiting device for
limiting outreach in proportion to the load.
The presence of the device is indicated by a sticker affixed to the work platform and to the
slew turret.

A concise description of the device is given in heading 3.3. “SAFETY DEVICES”.


We also stress the importance of the safety prescriptions set out in paragraph 2.7.
“PRECAUTIONS WHILE AT WORK”. It is strictly forbidden to load the work platform with
objects or people when the machine is outside the transport position (boom completely retracted
and resting on its support).
The device restricts maximum outreach in accordance with the weight in the work platform and
the boom angle, after which it inhibits boom extension and lowering movements (i.e. movements
that would increase the tilting moment) and also turret slewing, where necessary.
In order to comply with the operating principle of the restrictor device and to ensure that the
limiting device trips correctly it is thus vitally important that the load (people and/or objects)
is applied to the work platform exclusively with the machine in the transport position. Any
operation of loading people or objects in a different configuration, even with the work platform
on the ground and within the maximum payload could result in a load in the work platform that
is excessive for that particular outreach configuration, which could damage the structures and/or
overturn the machine.
If necessary, and in partial departure from the above prescriptions, the work platform loading
operations (in compliance with the maximum payload indicated in heading “3.4.1. Technical
data” and on the machine data plates) can be performed by complying strictly with the condition
described below:
- work platform resting on the ground or only a few centimetres from the ground and with the
distance between the centre of the slew ring and the centre of the work platform less than 5 m.

<5m

80 FILENAME: PT230 ed.1 rev.0_uso


4.8. USE IN LOW AMBIENT TEMPERATURES –
Precautions
As already mentioned, the temperature limits within which the machine can be used are as
follows: from -15 °C to +50 °C
In addition, when the temperature falls below 0°C and continues to drop there are several
precautions that must be taken to ensure optimal operation of the machine in addition to the
precautions already outlined in headings 2.6 and 2.7.
The main effects that sub-zero temperatures have on the work platform are:
• increased viscosity of oil and lubricants with consequent increased friction and hence
difficulty of movements;
• stiffness of movements of the moving parts of components such as microswitches,
mechanisms, etc.;
• reduced resistance to mechanical impact of both metal and non-metal materials.
In addition to the daily checks described in heading 6.3.9.1 “Daily checks”, perform also the
following checks:
• check that all locks are working correctly and are free of snow and ice;
• avoid accumulations of water; make sure drainage holes are clear;
• check that all sensors are clean and free of snow and ice;
• check the rubber components retain their flexibility;
• make sure the access steps and work platform floor are free of ice and snow;
• Make sure the boom extension ropes and retraction chains are free of ice and snow;
• make sure that all moving parts are free moving and not jammed or obstructed by ice
and snow.
It is also recommended to follow the procedure described below in order to preheat the
hydraulic oil and consequently all parts that it comes into contact with:
1. Start the engine and engage the power take-off (heading 4.3 “ENGAGING/
DISENGAGING THE POWER TAKE-OFF/PUMP OF THE HYDRAULIC
SYSTEM”) and allow the machine to idle for 10 -– 15 minutes.
2. Rig the machine (heading 4.4 “OUTRIGGING”).
3. With the boom in the transport position, work from the ground control panel with no
load or persons in the work platform and perform a series of complete overturning
manoeuvres and levelling operations of the work platform in order to feed warm oil to
the levelling circuit (ideally suspend the movement just before the cylinder reaches its
stroke limit); then level the work platform.
4. From the ground control panel perform a series of boom raising and extension
movements, ideally stopping just before the stroke end position of the relative cylinder,
then return the boom to the transport position.
5. Check that the movements have become sufficiently smooth, otherwise repeat points 3
and 4.

Danger: Do not use the machine in ambient temperatures below 15 °C.

81 FILENAME: PT230 ed.1 rev.0_uso


4.9. AIR/WATER SYSTEM (optional)
The machine can be equipped with a system to allow the use, in the bucket, of compressed air
and/or water drawn from the water mains. The system is composed of a high-pressure hose
(200 bar) that connects the subframe/slew turret to the work platform control panel.
The two shut-off valves located at each end of the line are rated for a maximum pressure of 20 bar.

Notice: In order to connect a high-pressure washer, the two shut-off valves must be
replaced with specific high pressure fittings.
Notice: If the system is used with water it must be completely drained when work is
completed.

4.10. 220V ELECTRICAL SOCKET

Fig. 26. 220V electrical socket

The machine is equipped with an extendable axle to take the 220V - max 16A power supply
to the socket 1 in the work platform to power the control panel 2 near the controls of the
outriggers from an external source.
The control panel is equipped with thermal protection switch.

Notice: The thermal protection switch does not relieve the user in any case from the
obligation to connect to a power source (whether it comes from a house, industrial
factory, worksite) that is equipped with a circuit breaker and earthing system
connected and efficient, subject to current standards.

Notice: The tools used and connected to the socket in the work platform must
comply with current standards in terms of Health & Safety at the workplace, better
still if they are the double-isolation type.

Notice: Before you drive off with the vehicle, if the control panel has been powered
with an external source of electricity, remember to unplug the connector from the
socket 2.

8. Unplug the mobile connector from the socket 9XS1 fitted on the E.C.P.

Note: While the electric motor pump is working, the accumulators of the vehicle are
charged by the auxiliary circuit in the E.C.P.

Note: When the electric motor pump is connected, engine START/ STOP controls of
ground and work platform control panel, perform Start and Stop of electric pump.

Notice: Before you drive off with the vehicle, if the control panel has been powered
with an external source of electricity, remember to unplug the connector from the
socket 5.

Chapter 5. Emergency procedures
Emergency procedures are those procedures that must be implemented further to the arrival at
an anomalous machine configuration or a machine fault.
There are three types of emergency procedures:
• Emergency procedures following anomalous machine configurations: these procedures
make it possible to restore the machine configuration and, after checking, to resume work
operations;
• Emergency procedures following detection by the control system of a fault that
results in limited machine functionality: these procedures must be used by the operator
exclusively to restore the machine to its transport position using the work platform or
ground controls; in certain cases it may be necessary to use the emergency hand pump to
re-close the machine. After restoring the machine to its transport position it will anyway
be necessary to suspend work operations and go to an Authorized Service Centre to have
the fault repaired;
• Emergency procedures following detection by the control system of a fault that
causes a machine shut-down - lowering of the bucket using the hand pump: these
procedures must be adopted by the ground operator exclusively to restore the machine
to its transport position by manually acting on the solenoid valves of the hydraulic
assemblies and using the emergency hand pump. In this case the control system does not
provide any form of supervision so the operator must scrupulously follow the sequence of
operations and manoeuvres to be performed. After restoring the machine to its transport
position suspend work operations and go to an Authorized Service Centre to have the fault
repaired.

Caution: Emergency descent using the hydraulic assemblies and the hand pump
must be used if the operator in the work platform has pressed the emergency stop
button and is thereafter no longer able to operate the controls.

Notice: Some procedures require the obligatory presence of at least one operator
on the ground.

Notice: The workers operating on the ground must be properly instructed, informed
and trained so as to have perfect knowledge of emergency procedures as well as of
the positioning of elements which are necessary for carrying these procedures out.
It is recommended to carry out emergency procedures once a month in order to
maintain the control of the operations. In case of a machine rented out without
operator, it will be hirer’s care to supply the user with all the necessary instructions
and to assure himself that they have understood them correctly.

Danger: It is forbidden to use the machine if the command and/or control systems
are not perfectly efficient.

Notice. The emergency procedures must not be used to be able to continue the job
in the case of an anomaly or inefficiency of parts of the machine.

Danger: It is forbidden to work if the electrical system is faulty when the engine is
running.

5.1. EMERGENCY PROCEDURES FOLLOWING
ANOMALOUS MACHINE CONFIGURATIONS
These procedures make it possible to restore the machine configuration and, after checking, to
resume work operations

Note: The following headings describe the individual operations of the procedures
in a concise manner. Refer anyway to the relative headings in which the various
operations are described in detail and, in particular, comply with all the safety
prescriptions and warnings in this manual.

5.1.1. Restoring the transport position in the case of


accidental raising or extension of the boom during road travel
This procedure makes it possible to return the telescoping boom to its transport position
following accidental raising or extension during road travel.
The procedure described below is possible only if the magnitude of extension or boom raising
is below certain pre-defined values.

Tab. 10. Emergency procedure in the case of accidental raising or extension of the boom
INDICATION PROCEDURE
With boom extended: • Engage the power take-off
-Red indicator light in the cab. • Rig the machine in the vehicle envelope
-Beeper in the cab. • Select and enable the ground control panel
-Red indicator light A29-C20 on • Completely lower and/or retract the boom by means
control panels. of the specific joysticks
• Completely retract the outriggers
With boom raised: • Disengage the power take-off
No alert

Note: If the problem recurs frequently, consult an Authorized Service Centre.

5.1.2. PROCEDURE TO RESTORE WORK PLATFORM LEVELLING


As described in § ”3.3. SAFETY DEVICES”, the machine is equipped with an electronically
controlled hydraulic levelling system that keeps the work platform to within 5° from its
perfectly level position and inhibits all movements in the presence of a level difference of
more than 10° (ALARM 56).
The reset procedure, which is possible only in certain specific conditions as outlined below,
is therefore useful and/or required only in the presence of evident out of level of the work
platform when the machine is in the transport position and/or in the case of maintenance.
Preliminary conditions:
• EWP correctly rigged as per procedure described in heading 4.4 “OUTRIGGING”.
• Ground control panel enabled, with no operators or materials in the work platform.
• Superstructure in transport position.
The control system reads the position of the superstructure and allows only permissible
movements.
Procedure (Fig. 25)
• From the ground: the manoeuvre is obtained by means of the dual command composed of
pushbuttons A12 indicating the movement for levelling correction and of proportional
joystick A3 for speed control.

Notice: Do not use the EWP unless the work platform is perfectly level.

86 FILENAME: PT230 ed.1 rev.0_uso


Note: Contact the ISOLI Assistance Service if work platform levelling needs to be
corrected frequently.

Fig. 28. Ground control panel (control panel A)

A3

Notice: When restoring work platform levelling, pay attention to ensure that the
work platform and/or its support do not impact against the underrun protection, the
ladder, or other parts of the machine.

Danger: When the operator uses the EWP from the emergency ground control
station, he is within the working envelope of the EWP and is therefore subject to the
risk of getting crushed in the case of incorrect manoeuvring. Make all movements at
slow speed and with extreme caution.

5.2. EMERGENCY PROCEDURES FOLLOWING


DETECTION BY THE CONTROL SYSTEM OF A FAULT THAT
RESULTS IN LIMITED MACHINE FUNCTIONALITY
These procedures must be utilised by the operator solely to restore the machine to its transport
position using the work platform or ground controls.
Faults that call for the use of this procedure are characterised by the following operator alerts:
Red general hazard indicator light C29 illuminated steady on the work platform control
panel.
In addition to this signal, which characterises this fault type, there may be other specific
indicator lights illuminated apart from the code signal emitted by the diagnostic indicators.

Notice: In general, the control system only allows the execution of manoeuvres
deemed to be safe. In certain cases it may be necessary to use the hand pump
procedure to return the machine to its transport position. In this case the system
provides no supervision so careful attention must be paid to the procedure and to the
sequence shown in heading 5.3.2 and 5.3.3.
Caution: After restoring the machine to its transport position it will anyway be
necessary to suspend work operations and go to an Authorized Service Centre to
have the fault repaired.

Note: The following headings describe the individual operations of the procedures
in a concise manner. Refer anyway to the relative headings in which the various
operations are described in detail and, in particular, comply with all the safety
prescriptions and warnings in this manual.

87 FILENAME: PT230 ed.1 rev.0_uso


5.2.1. PROCEDURE FOR BOOM RETRACTION IN THE CASE OF
ALARM 43: CHAINS SLACKENING / BREAKAGE
If the control system detects slackening or breakage of the 2nd or 3rd section extension chains or
the 2nd section retraction chains, alarm 43 trips and the boom extension and retraction movements
are inhibited. The alarm may be generated not only by the effective slackening or parting of the
chains, but also by a fault of the detector microswitches or the related electrical system.
This procedure makes it possible to retract the telescoping boom bypassing the retraction
movement inhibition, once the operator has checked that the alarm is caused exclusively by
slackening of the chains or a fault of the detection system and not by parting of one or both
the chains responsible for moving a section of the boom. Indeed, if the alarm is caused by
actual breakage of the chain(s), the retraction movement can result in damage to the structures
and/or components of the boom.
The procedure is as follows:
• From the active control station, press and hold button A11-C5 and simultaneously
activate the boom retraction command; the movement will start after three seconds and
continue for 10 seconds;
• During the movement check that all the boom sections are retracted proportionally and
that no anomalous noises are emitted.
• If necessary, repeat the procedure from the first step until the boom has been fully
retracted.

Note: in the case of alarm 43, the boom extension movement is anyway inhibited at all
times.

Caution: if you believe that the chains are broken, if movements are anomalous
and/or accompanied by anomalous noise or in the event of any doubt, refrain from
performing the procedure and contact the Service Centre.

5.2.2. Restoring the transport position following an


incongruent response of redundant sensors and/or a response
outside the permissible range and/or communication errors
between sensors and controller.
This procedure makes it possible to return the telescoping boom to the transport position if the
control system detects anomalies on the sensor output signals.
The procedure to adopt, unless otherwise specified in the “SPECIFIC PRECAUTIONS”
column of tables 12 and 13, is as follows:
• Retract the telescoping boom completely.
• Turret slewing until aligning the boom with the support structure (green indicator light
A25 and C21 illuminated; if necessary, raise the boom before proceeding in order to
avoid collisions)
• Rotate the work platform until it is aligned with the boom (illumination of green indicator
light A24 and C27).
• Complete lowering of the boom until the superstructure rests on the support structure on
the subframe.

Note: Boom raising and retraction movements are always possible

Caution: In some cases the anti-collision devices are not functional so the operator
must use the utmost caution during execution of manoeuvres; non-operation of the
anti-collision device is signaled by flashing of the relevant indicator lights; refer to
the following table for details of the alerts and the specific precautions required in
accordance with the type of fault detected.

5.2.3. Restoring the transport position in the case of
detection of anomalous movements of the truck or detection of
outrigging faults
Possible causes of these faults include:
• Internal leakage of load holding valves
• Ground subsidence
In any event it is essential to return the machine to the transport position rapidly because this
situation is associated with a severe risk of loss of stability and consequent overturning.
Proceed as follows:
• Retract the telescoping boom completely.
• Turret slewing until aligning the boom with the support structure (green indicator light
A25 and C21 illuminated; if necessary, raise the boom before proceeding in order to
avoid collisions)
• Rotate the work platform until it is aligned with the boom (illumination of green indicator
light A24 and C27).
• Complete lowering of the boom until the superstructure rests on the support structure on
the subframe.

Note: The boom retraction is always permitted; the boom lowering should normally
be performed only after slewing the turret to the rear (alignment with the support
structure)

5.3. EMERGENCY PROCEDURES FOLLOWING
DETECTION BY THE CONTROL SYSTEM OF A FAULT THAT
CAUSES A MACHINE SHUT DOWN - DESCENT USING THE
HAND PUMP

Caution: These procedures can only be adopted by an operator on the ground.

These procedures must be adopted by the ground operator exclusively to restore the machine
to its transport position by manually acting on the directional control valve solenoids and
levers and using the emergency hand pump. In this case the control system does not provide
any form of supervision so the operator must scrupulously follow the sequence of operations
and manoeuvres to be performed (refer to heading 5.3.2 and 5.3.3).
Faults that call for the use of this type of procedure are characterised by the following
operator alerts (see also note “*”):
Red general hazard indicator light C29 blinking on the work platform control panel and no
movements possible from the control panels
In addition to this signal, which characterises this fault type, the related code is emitted by the
diagnostic indicator lights.

(*) Note: In addition to the other specific faults shown in the above table, the
emergency descent procedure with manual activation of the control valves and use
of the hand pump must also be used in the case of a general breakdown of the
electrical and/or hydraulic system and/or the vehicle engine. These cases may occur
without any form of warning by means of control panel alerts.

91 FILENAME: PT230 ed.1 rev.0_uso


Danger: It is prohibited to perform any work on the hydraulic assemblies while the
engine is running.

Notice: When you activate solenoid valves, you must either touch only the plastic
parts or wear work gloves or use a rag since metal parts, due to utilization time and
ambient temperature, might be hot.

Danger: When you have completed all the emergency manoeuvres, it is mandatory
to return the solenoid valve isolator devices to their original position and take the
vehicle to an Authorized Service Centre to have the fault repaired.

5.3.1. Emergency hand pump


This device is used to move the machine in the case of breakdown of the vehicle engine, of
the electrical system or breakage of the power take-off/main pump.
The hand pump A is operated by the lever supplied with the machine and stored in the
dedicated tool box or in the cab.
To move the machine down to the stand-by position you need to operate the hand pump after
having operated the solenoid valves of the hydraulic assemblies (refer to heading 3.2.5.2 and
3.2.3).

Fig. 29. Emergency hand pump

5.3.2. Emergency procedure for manoeuvring the


superstructure
5.3.2.1. Sequence of operations

Danger: To retreat from the working height adhere scrupulously to the procedure
outlined below to return the superstructure to its transport position. During the
procedure for emergency descent controlled by the hand pump, the moment limiting
device is bypassed and the control system does not provide any form of supervision.
In the case of incorrect sequences of manoeuvres it follows that there exists a risk of
overturning.

Always comply with the following sequence:


1. retract the telescoping boom completely
2. slew turret towards boom support until it is aligned with the support; don't slew the turret
towards sectors in which the permitted boom outreach is less than in the current sector;
3. work platform rotation until it is aligned with the boom;
4. boom lowering onto the support structure while keeping the work platform level.

92 FILENAME: PT230 ed.1 rev.0_uso


Danger: If it proves impossible to perform the above sequence precisely, it is
essential anyway to avoid hazardous manoeuvres, i.e. those that result in an
increased radius; as a general rule the following manoeuvres must be avoided:
• boom extension
• boom lowering
• turret slewing towards a work sector in which the permitted boom outreach is less
than the current reach

Note: In general, boom raising movements are always permitted. During the boom
lifting or lowering manoeuvres periodically operate the level correction control to keep
the work platform level.

Caution: Turret slewing towards the support structure must always be in the correct
direction, also to avoid damaging the oil lines between chassis and slew turret; in
particular, if the boom is above the cab and the point diametrically opposite the
support has been passed, return towards the support by travelling over the longest
sector.

5.3.2.2. Operations to perform for execution of the movements


Procedure (Fig. 27)
1. Press the emergency stop button, switch the vehicle engine off and take the key out of the
control panel.
2. Put the lever in the dedicated seat on the hand pump B.
3. Remove the cover on the plateau to gain access to the hydraulic assembly on the chassis.
4. Take the control levers from the toolbox and screw them onto the solenoid valves.
5. Take the two locking profiles C and use one of them to immobilise the solenoid valve
lever to feed oil to the superstructure hydraulic system N.
6. With the second locking profile C activate the lever for the required movement, taking
care to comply with the sequence of the procedure to retreat from the working height and
then operate the hand pump.
7. When the operations are concluded, remove the lever from the hand pump, the locking
profiles and the levers, and stow them in the toolbox then refit the hydraulic assemblies
protective cover.

Note: All versions are equipped with two locking profiles C.

5.3.3. Emergency procedure for retracting the outriggers

Note: In the outriggers retraction procedure keep the machine levelled as far as
possible within just a few degrees from the horizontal in order to avoid excessive
twisting of the subframe.
Perform the following operations until the machine tyres are resting on the ground;
once this condition has been achieved, all the outriggers can be completely retracted.

Danger: This operation must be performed only after having returned the
boom of the machine to the rest position on the support structure.

6.3.7. Cleaning the machine

Foreword: The machine must be cleaned frequently to remove polluting elements


that could damage materials or prevent efficient operation.
Following cleaning procedures re-grease all moving parts (heading “6.3.8.1 Oils and
lubricants”) and check all components of the machine for signs of wear or distortion; if wear
and other damage is found, contact an authorized service centre to have the necessary
replacement parts fitted.
It is also important to remember that the safety devices are also subject to wear and tear and
these too must be checked to make sure they are perfectly clean, lubricated and intact. In
normal conditions of use, the cleaning and lubrication cycle described above must be carried
out once every two/four weeks. This time interval must be proportionally reduced when
the machine is used in environmental or duty conditions that are more severe than normal
conditions.
Here are some examples:
- the machine is to be used after a long period of inactivity.
- very hot or very cold ambient temperatures with consequent rapid deterioration of the
lubricants.
- use in coastal regions.
- use in winter months in countries with cold climate where roads are salted to prevent ice
formation.
- use of the machine for painting or pruning applications in which the material can become
mixed with the grease and form an abrasive paste that will lead to accelerated wear of
components and/or cause movements to seize.
Specifically, the following must be removed immediately:
• Residual paint, grease, material remaining following pruning of trees, resin, etc. that
may penetrate inside the telescoping boom
• All substances containing substances that may damage the paintwork and plastic parts
• Materials that can obstruct free movement of the machine parts including movements of
the internal parts of the telescoping boom.

Notice: During washing operations do not aim high pressure water jets and/or jets
of steam at the following parts of the machine:
• Electrical equipment (control panels, sensors, microswitches, etc.)
• Wiring looms
• Hydraulic components
• Hoses
• Blanking plugs, seals and other sealing points.
• Pins and articulation points

Note: Following cleaning procedures re-grease and re-lubricate the machine.

6.3.7.1. Cleaning products


Use only water and specific detergents for cleaning vehicles.

Caution: Do not use solvents that damage paint and synthetic materials. In general,
do not use petrol, nitrocellulose thinners, perchlorate and trilchloroethylene.

6.3.9. Notes concerning the execution of inspection and


maintenance work
The following headings contain supplementary instructions for the execution of the checks
described in heading “6.3.6 Periodic inspections table”. These supplementary instructions
are provided in addition to rather than in replacement of the instructions given in the above-
mentioned table.

6.3.9.1. Daily checks


Before you start working on the EWP carry out the following checks, complying with
the specified sequence:
Note: All checks, with the exception of checks concerning operation of the work
platform control panel or where expressly specified to the contrary must be carried
out without persons or tools in the work platform.

Notice. It is absolutely forbidden to use the machine if any of the checks have
failed. If necessary, consult an Authorized Service Centre.

1. Checking the general level of cleanliness of the machine. Make sure the machine is free of
debris or foreign bodies that could obstruct free movement of mechanical, hydraulic and
electrical parts.
2. Make sure the instruction manual is available and intact.
3. Make sure all the warning plates are fitted and legible.
4. Check for the presence and good condition of the emergency lowering devices, notably
the levers of the emergency hydraulic assembly with the related locking profiles and the
hand pump lever in the toolbox or in the cab.
5. None of the hydraulic components should display signs of external or internal leakage of

113 FILENAME: PT230 ed.1 rev.0_uso


oil (movement and/or extension of elements of the structure when the vehicle is stationary
or travelling may be an indicator of oil leaks or internal leakage on the hydraulic
cylinders).
6. Make sure there is no sign of cutting or abrasion in the hydraulic pipes.
7. Make sure the oil level in the tank is above minimum level.
8. Check that all the main and secondary structures are in good condition and have not
suffered any damage (refer to “6.3.9.17 Examine structures”) and check for the absence of
anomalous or excessive backlash between the joints. Also make sure there are no missing,
detached or loose parts (especially bolts and lock nuts of structural parts or those related to
safety devices and connections between the chassis and the subframe).
9. Check that when the power take-off is engaged the related indicator light illuminates and
the beeper sounds (beeper should sound only when the handbrake is released).
10. Make sure the residual current device of the electrical 220V socket works correctly. To
perform this operation the ground electrical socket must be powered in accordance with
the instructions (refer to “4.13 220V ELECTRICAL SOCKET”) and then press the test
button and ensure the residual current device trips.
11. With the assistance of “Table 8. Safety functions and devices and associated sensors” and
the related figures, check the intact condition, correct fixing, and good working order of
all the microswitches, inductive sensors and the other sensors on the machine, paying
special attention to the sensors responsible for safety functions such as stability and stress
control. Freedom of movement of the microswitch heads must be checked visually or with
the aid of a screwdriver (with the machine stationary): do not perform this check while the
machine is in motion
a) Safety function: ground contact, cross beams extension and raised rear wheels
microswitches/sensors; also check the “outriggers raised” inductive sensors.
b) Safety function: spirit level and, if present, electronic level gauge.
c) Safety function: boom support inductive sensor.
d) Safety function: redundant system to detect turret slewing, composed of an encoder
and an inductive sensor
e) Safety function: pressure sensors on boom lifting cylinder.
f) Safety function: microswitch responsible for detecting boom lifting cylinder in its
completely lowered position.
g) Safety function: boom fully retracted microswitch / boom extension rope sensors and
boom angle sensor.
h) Safety function: chains slack / broken microswitches.
i) Safety function: work platform levelling angle sensor.
l) Anti-collision device function: inductive sensors for work platform aligned and work
platform rotated to one side.
m) Safety function: microswitch on work platform access mobile protection (only
for versions with fiberglass work platform with mobile protection having parapet
function).
12. Check the correct operation of the outriggers both in terms of extension of the cross beams
and vertical descent of the outrigger legs.
13. Check that with any of the outriggers not completely retracted, red indicator lights A29
(“3.2.2. Ground control panel”), C20 (“3.2.4. Work platform control panel”) and B
(“3.2.1. Cab indicator lights”) switch on together with the beeper (activation of beeper
only with handbrake disengaged).
14. Check that with the outriggers not correctly positioned and with relative indicator lights
A28 (“3.2.2 Ground control panel”) and C19 (“3.2.4. Work platform control panel”)
off, movement of the superstructure is inhibited.
15. From the ground control panel the following must be checked:
a. Good condition and correct operation of all controls and good visibility and legibility
of symbols and signs.
114 FILENAME: PT230 ed.1 rev.0_uso
b. Correct operation of the emergency stop button (movements blocked and engine
stopped).
c. Correct operation of the indicator lights.
d. Correct operation of the selector key and, performing brief movements, congruence of
the movements with the associated symbol on the control panel.
16. Check that with the telescoping boom raised no more than 5 cm from the support
structure, the retraction movement of the outriggers is inhibited.
17. The load holding valves must cut in to stop movements once the control has been released,
and all movements must be performed normally. Perform the test with the boom extended
by approximately 1 metre and facing the rear of the truck.
18. With boom raised and partly extended, use a screwdriver to press the head of one of the
slack/broken chains microswitches and check that alarm 43 is generated and that boom
extension and retraction movements are inhibited.
19. Check correct operation of the anti-collision devices and the related indicator lights in
accordance with the contents of “Table 8. Safety functions and devices and associated
sensors”. Perform all movements from the ground control panel without personnel on the
work platform and at low speed using the utmost caution; suspend machine movements if
it appears that the device is not functioning (collision imminent).
20. Check correct activation of the outreach restrictor device by performing the following step
s (all operations must be performed from the ground control panel with the work platform
unloaded):
a) Check of correct tripping during boom extension: with the boom facing the rear
of the truck and the work platform rotated, extend the boom horizontal and check
to ensure that the restrictor device stops the movement at the radius shown in the
corresponding operating diagram (tolerance 200 mm); at this point check that also the
boom lowering movement is inhibited and that indicator lights A20 and C23 are
illuminated on the control panels.
b) Check of correct tripping during boom lowering: from the position reached at point
a), raise the boom and extend it fully. Lower the boom at reduced speed and with
the utmost caution, checking to ensure that the restrictor device stops the movement
in correspondence with the radius shown on the operating diagram (in effect, the
movement will stop before the point shown on the diagram because of the absence of
flexure due to the fact that the work platform is unloaded); check that indicator lights
A20 and C23 on the control panels are illuminated.
c) Check of correct tripping during turret slewing: from the position reached at
point b), retract the boom and lower it until it is horizontal; at this point, extend the
boom once again until the restrictor device trips as at point a); thereafter, perform
the turret slewing movement in one direction and check that the movement is
stopped in correspondence with the change of the operating sector in accordance
with the outrigging configuration as shown in the operating diagrams; check also for
illumination of red indicator lights A21-C24 or A22-C25, depending on the
direction of slewing that has been inhibited; retract the boom and check that turret
slewing is re-enabled when the radius is reduced to below the radius of the adjacent
sector towards which the turret was being slewed.
d) Check of correct tripping in all configurations: repeat the tests described in points
a), b) and c) for all operating areas and for all sector changes, for all four outrigging
configurations on all sides of the machine. If the machine is equipped with FAST
outrigging (optional with automatic outrigging) check correct tripping of the restrictor
device also in the two FAST outrigging configurations and related operating sectors.
21. Check correct activation of the moment limiting device by performing the following steps
(all operations must be carried out from the ground control panel):
a) Check of correct tripping of the boom lifting cylinder microswitch in the stroke

115 FILENAME: PT230 ed.1 rev.0_uso


end position: raise the boom from the support by approximately 200 mm then use
a screwdriver to press the microswitch and check for illumination of indicator lights
A20 and C23 on the control panels and make sure the boom extension and lowering
movements are inhibited.
b) Check of correct tripping during boom extension: place a 200 kg load in the central
area of the work platform and secure it to prevent movements and/or risk of falling;
with the boom facing the rear of the truck and the work platform rotated, extend the
boom horizontally and check to ensure that the restrictor device stops the movement at
the radius shown in the corresponding operating diagram (tolerance 300 mm); at this
point check that also the boom lowering movement is inhibited and that indicator lights
A20 and C23 are illuminated on the control panels.
c) Check of correct tripping during boom lowering: from the position reached at
point b), raise the boom and extend it fully. Lower the boom at low speed and with
the utmost caution, checking that the radius restrictor device inhibits the movement in
correspondence with the radius shown on the operating diagram; now check that the
LEDs A20 and C23 are illuminated on the control panels.
d) Check of correct tripping during turret slewing: from the position reached at
point c), retract the boom and lower it until it is horizontal; at this point, extend the
boom once again until the restrictor device trips as at point b); thereafter, perform
the turret slewing movement in one direction and check that the movement is
stopped in correspondence with the change of the operating sector in accordance
with the outrigging configuration as shown in the operating diagrams; check also for
illumination of red indicator lights A21-C24 or A22-C25, depending on the
direction of slewing that has been inhibited; retract the boom and check that turret
slewing is re-enabled when the radius is reduced to below the radius of the adjacent
sector towards which the turret was being slewed.
e) Check of correct tripping in all configurations: repeat the tests described in
points b) and c) and d) for all operating areas and for all sector changes, for all four
outrigging configurations on all sides of the machine. If the machine is equipped with
FAST outrigging (optional with automatic outrigging) check correct tripping of the
restrictor device also in the two FAST outrigging configurations and related operating
sectors.

Danger: Ensure that there are no people in the work platform before running any
test.

Caution: If the system fails to respond correctly, suspend the test immediately and
contact the Manufacturer service center.

Note: Radius measurement must be carried out using a plumb bob.

22. From work platform control panel the following must be checked:
a) Good condition and correct operation of all controls and good visibility and legibility
of symbols and signs.
b) Correct operation of the emergency stop button (movements blocked and engine
stopped).
c) Correct operation of the indicator lights.
d) By performing brief movements, congruence of the movements with the associated
symbol on the control panel.
e) Correct tripping of the microswitch (refer to Fig.35 “Fiberglass work platform”). When
mobile access protection (little barrier) is lifted up, all the movements of the machine
must be prevented/ stopped (only for the version with fiberglass work platform with
mobile access protection functioning as parapet).

6.3.9.6. Telescoping boom


Carry out the checks and maintenance tasks in accordance with the provisions of heading
“6.3.6 Periodic inspections table”.
Also check that:
• The extension and retraction movement of the boom is smooth, without stick-slip effects,
without obstructions, and is performed without producing anomalous noise.
• Movement of the extension ropes, the retraction chains, the sheaves, and also the conveyor
chains housing the hydraulic lines in the boom, are smooth and unimpeded.
• All components (sliding surfaces, slide blocks, extension ropes, retraction chains, sheaves
and pulleys, pins and tie bolts) are in good condition, securely fastened and not unduly
worn; specifically, check that the signalling microswitches A for slack ropes/chains (Fig.
37) are complete and securely fixed, electrically connected and functional.
• Pretensioning of the extension ropes and retraction chains is such that the load that acts on
one rope or chain is approximately the same as that which acts on the equivalent rope or
chain forming part of the same system.
• Stretching of the chains due to wear of the pins and chain links is not excessive (max.
2%).
• The surfaces and couplings of the chains do not display signs of corrosion or anomalous
rigidity, missing connecting parts and fixing parts; damaged chains must be renewed
immediately.
• The fixing points of the chains and ropes are complete and in good condition.
• Debris has accumulated inside the boom deriving from pruning operations or other similar
jobs that can damage the moving parts; if necessary, remove accumulated debris by
removing the inspection covers provided.

119 FILENAME: PT230 ed.1 rev.0_uso


Fig. 40. Connection points of boom extension/retraction chains

The anchor points of the chains on the base boom can be easily inspected by removing the
protective panels.
The retraction chains inside the boom can be checked by means of an endoscopic examination
(fibre optic camera). The use of an endoscope allows inspection without the need to dismantle a
significant number of parts.

Greasing and lubrication


Guiding and sliding movement of the telescoping boom extendable axles are achieved by
means of low friction anti-wear slide blocks. Always ensure there is a thin film of grease on the
internal and external surfaces of the boom sections in order to improve the smoothness of the
sliding movement and hence the level of comfort for the operator in the work platform.
Pretensioning of the extension ropes and retraction chains is such that the load that acts on one rope or chain is
approximately the same as that which acts on the equivalent rope or chain forming part of the same system.
To grease the sliding surfaces of the telescoping boom, stabilize the machine with unloaded
work platform and extend the boom horizontally to the rear to its maximum extension, then
coat the sliding surfaces with a film of grease.
Thereafter, grease the internal surfaces on which the slide blocks run by means of the grease
nipples (if present) or by removing the rear guards, taking care not to disturb the sensors
Thereafter perform several boom extension and retraction cycles to distribute the grease as
uniformly as possible.

Note: Repeat the operation if necessary and anyway take care not to apply an
excessive amount of grease to avoid accumulation inside the boom.

Fig. 41. Greasing and lubrication of the boom extendable axles

120 FILENAME: PT230 ed.1 rev.0_uso


Grease the extension and retraction chains, the relative anchoring points, the sheaves and the
pins, the equalizers and all parts of the mechanism in accordance with the instructions given
in heading “6.3.6 Periodic inspections table”.
The chains must be clean and free of any accumulated foreign material.

Pretensioning of chains
Check the pretension of the chains and adjust if necessary.

Note: Pretensioning of the chains is performed by the Manufacturer at the time of


assembly. It is the job of the operator to perform exclusively visual inspections and,
if any evident slackening or other anomalies are noted, to contact the Manufacturer's
Service Centre

Caution: Do not apply excessive pretension; overtensioning of chains can damage


them and result in potentially dangerous deformation of the telescoping boom
sections.

Replacement of chains
Regular inspection of the chains is required to check whether the chain is still intact and able
to perform its function safely, or whether it needs to be renewed.
Check the following:
• stretching: check a lightly tensioned straight section of chain of between 1/5 and 1/15 of
total length to ensure that the length is within 2% of the original length.
• side plates profile wear: the maximum permissible height reduction is 2.5% if on just one
side or 4% if on both sides.

u=2,5% of H
• chain flank wear: renew chain if the head of the link pins is worn beyond 25% of the
original protrusion or if the outer flank is worn beyond 20% of the original thickness.
Before installing the new chain find the cause of the problem.
• cracks/breaks in side plates: chains with broken or cracked side plates must be renewed.

• seizure of links: chains with links that remain seized even after adequate cleaning or
lubrication, must be renewed.

• pins/bushings: chains with rotated pins with respect to the normal alignment and/or that
have visibly deformed bushings, must be renewed.

Check that the pump is running correctly and not generating anomalous noise or vibration; if
it is, find the cause and remedy it so that the pump is functioning correctly.

6.3.9.11. Hoses
Carry out the checks and maintenance tasks in accordance with the provisions of heading
“6.3.6 Periodic inspections table”.

Note: The life span of the hoses, even if they are designed to perfection and used
correctly, is not endless. The life span cannot be established exactly because it
is affected by many factors (working temperatures and pressures, duration and
frequency of use, environmental conditions, unsuitable washing, presence of salt on
the roads, etc.).

Inspect the hoses and make sure they show no signs of wear, abrasion or cuts in the outer
lining and make sure they are still naturally flexible. If you should notice any one of the signs
of wear just mentioned, replace the hose immediately with one of identical quality and have
the job done by qualified and authorized personnel.

Danger:There exists a risk of accidents when hoses are replaced and the new hoses are
fitted in the incorrect position. Make sure new hoses are connected to the correct unions

6.3.9.12. Turret slewing assembly
Carry out the checks and maintenance tasks in accordance with the provisions of heading
“6.3.6 Periodic inspections table”.

Notice: Do not aim high pressure water jets or steam jets directly at the turret
slewing assembly to avoid the risk of water penetrating to the internal parts. If
you fear that water may have penetrated into the assembly perform complete and
abundant lubrication immediately.

Check backlash.
• Check oscillating play between the balls and races; play should be no greater than 0.5
mm.
• Check end float of the thrust bearings of the worm screw; end float must be no greater
than 0.1 mm

Notice: If backlash should exceed the limits it must be reduced by adjusting or


renewing the slew ring before reusing the machine. These operations must be
entrusted to a Manufacturer's Service Centre.

Greasing

Notice: During slew ring greasing operations, to distribute the grease more
effectively the slew turret should be rotated. Use the utmost caution during this
procedure.

First grease the races using the 2 grease nipple on the inner race. Slew the turret at uniform
45° intervals, pumping in grease in such a way as to distribute it uniformly over the race;
inject grease until a uniform ring of grease seeps out from the entire circumference of the seal.
Subsequently grease the worm screw using the 3 external grease nipples. Also while greasing
the worm screw cause the turret to slew in such a way as to distribute the grease uniformly.
Finally, grease the brake by means of the relative grease nipple.

Tightening of screws.
Check tightness of screw connections in accordance with the values specified in “Tab. 15
Tightening torque values of screw connections”.

6.3.9.13. Work platform rotation assembly


Carry out the checks and maintenance tasks in accordance with the provisions of heading
“6.3.6 Periodic inspections table”.

Notice: Do not aim high pressure water jets or steam jets directly at the upper part of
the slewing assembly to avoid the risk of water penetrating to the internal parts. If you
fear that water may have penetrated into the assembly perform complete and abundant
lubrication immediately.

Check backlash.
• Check that there is no backlash between the work platform and its support; the presence
of play in this joint would suggest loosening of the screws that secure the work platform
to the support.
• Check rotating clearance of the actuator.

Notice: If you notice any backlash, do not use the machine but contact a
Manufacturer's Service Centre.

6.3.9.17. Examining the structures
Carry out the checks and maintenance tasks in accordance with the provisions of heading
“6.3.6 Periodic inspections table”.

The Elevating Work Platforms are designed and built according to the highest quality
standards and with the state-of-the-art design and construction instruments.
On the other hand, the inspection of structures is an essential part of the maintenance of the
machine aimed at the assurance of workers’ safety.
No structural part of the machine (work platform, work platform support, telescoping boom
elements, slew turret, subframe, outriggers supports) must present any sign of collapsing,
cracks or corrosion, especially in the welded area.
On a daily basis or before each use, visually check all the structural parts of the machine.
The structure must be thoroughly examined at the following intervals and in the following
ways.
For machines with less than 9000 hours of operation or less than 6 years:
- Every 500 hours or 4 months by a qualified operator.
- Every 3000 hours or 2 years by the manufacturer or authorized technician.
For machines with more than 9000 hours or more than 6 years:
- Every 250 hours or 2 months by a qualified operator.
- Every 1500 hours or once a year by the manufacturer or authorized technician.
To examine the machine, the structure must be as clean as possible so that any feasible minute
cracks are not concealed by dirt and consequently missed.
If any minute cracks are noticed or the possibility of minute cracks is doubtful, do not use
the machine but contact the Manufacturer immediately or an authorized Service Centre. Do
not underestimate cracks for any reason whatsoever, even if very small, and have a qualified
technician evaluate their seriousness or otherwise.
We are providing some pictures that, even though they are not exhaustive, they indicate which
points should be analysed with greater attention. Remember that the most critical areas are the
welded points and especially where the welds start and end.
For the sake of simplicity, the arrows are positioned just on one side of the structures and the
specific welded points; the inspection must however be done on both sides of the structures,
on symmetrical points and right around welded area.
After 15000 hours of operation or 10 years, the structure must be fully serviced and examined
thoroughly by the manufacturer.

7.3.2. Machine codes and alarms
The following section contains a description of the alarms communicated by the control
panels by means of the diagnostic LEDs A30 and C32 and a series of possible causes with
their solutions.
With regard to the emergency procedures mentioned, refer to “Chapter 5. Emergency
procedures”.
The alarm codes are displayed by illumination of the LEDs in accordance with specific
sequences. Each illuminated LED is assigned a corresponding numerical value and the sum of
numerical values corresponding to illuminated LEDs denotes the associated alarm number.

Below we provide an example of how to calculate the alarm number on the basis of the
illuminated LEDs:
• 1 = off => value = 0 (value is zero because the LED is off)
• 2 = on => value = 2
• 4 = on => value = 4
• 8 = off => value = 0 (value is zero because the LED is off)
• 16 = on => value = 16
• 32 = off => value = 0 (value is zero because the LED is off)

The corresponding alarm code value is: 0 + 2 + 4 + 0 + 16 + 0 = 22

Note: If more than one alarm code is present the codes will be displayed in
alternation at 10 second intervals.

Note: Diagnostic LEDs C32 of the work platform control panel all blinking show that
the station has been selected with key-operated selector A1 but is not yet enabled
with button C2.

Caution: The alarm codes can be integrated by illumination of one or more


LEDs on the control panels; illumination of the LEDs provides specific information
concerning the type of malfunction and the related consequences and hence the
specific cautionary measures required of the operator during the movements. The
meanings are as follows:
