1. INTRODUCTION
This Use and Maintenance Manual provides general instructions concerning the complete range of machines indicated on the
cover. Therefore the description of their components, as well as control and safety systems, may include parts not present on Your
machine since supplied on request or not available. In order to keep pace with the technical development AIRO-Tigieffe s.r.l.
reserves the right to modify the product and/or the use and maintenance manual at any time without updating the units already
delivered.
1.1 Legal aspects
1.1.1 Delivery of the machine
Within EU (European Union) member countries the machine is delivered complete with:
Use and Maintenance manual in your language
CE mark applied on the machine
Original EC Declaration of conformity
Guarantee certificate
Only for Italy:
Declaration of commissioning to INAIL
List of local INAIL departments
Declaration of internal testing
It is to be noted that the Use and Maintenance Manual is an integral part of the machine and a copy of this, together with copies of
the documents certifying that the periodical checks have been carried out, must be kept on board in its suitable container. In the
event of a transfer of ownership the machine must always be provided with its use and maintenance manual.
1.1.2 Declaration of commissioning, first check, further periodical checks and transfers of ownership
The legal obligations of the owner of the machine vary according to the country of commissioning. It is therefore recommended to
inquiry about the procedures in force in your country from the boards responsible for industrial safety. This manual contains a final
section called "Check register" for a better filing of documents and recording of any modifications.
1.1.2.1 Declaration of commissioning and first check
In ITALY the owner of the Aerial Platform must notify the use of the machine to the local competent INAIL and submit it to
periodical compulsory checks. The first of such checks is performed by the INAIL within sixty days from a request being made. In
the event of such time passing without the inspection being made, the employer can call in the ASL (Local Health Unit) or qualified
public or private services. Subsequent checks are made by the already-mentioned parties within thirty days from a request being
made. In the event of such time passing without these checks being made, the employer can call in qualified public or private
services. The checks are on a payment basis and the employer (machine owner) will be charged for them. For these checks, the
territorial inspection boards (ASL/USL or ARPA) and INAIL can be supported by qualified public or private services. The qualified
private institutes acquire the qualification of responsibles of the public service and refer directly to the public structure that controls
this function.
To declare the commissioning of the machine in Italy, send the form that is supplied together with other documents upon machine
delivery, by registered letter with advice of receipt.
The INAIL will assign a serial number when the First Check is performed before completing the “technical identification sheet” on
which it indicates only the details obtained from the already-operating machine or obtainable from the instruction manual. Such
document shall form an integral part of the machine documentation.

Use and Maintenance Manual - XP - XLP Series
Page 6
1.1.2.2 Further periodical checks
Yearly checks are compulsory. In Italy the owner of the Aerial Platform must apply for a periodical check by sending a registered
letter to the local competent inspection board (ASL/USL or other qualified public or private services) at least twenty days before the
expiry of the year from the last check.
NB: If a machine without a valid control document should be moved in an area outside the competence of the usual inspection
board, the owner of the machine must ask the inspection board, competent for the new territory where the machine is to be used,
for the annual check.
1.1.2.3 Transfers of ownership
In case of transfer of ownership (in Italy) the new owner of the Aerial Platform must notify the ownership of the machine to the local
competent inspection board (ASL/USL or ARPA or other qualified public or private services) by enclosing a copy of:
Declaration of conformity issued by the manufacturer.
Declaration of commissioning carried out by the first owner.
1.1.3 Operator training and information
The employer must ensure that the workers appointed to use the equipment are adequately and specifically trained so they are
able to use the Mobile Elevating Work Platform in a proper and safe way and also avoid the risks caused by other people.
1.2 Tests performed before delivery
Before being placed on the market, each MEWP undergoes the following tests:
Braking test
Overload test
Operating test
1.3 Intended use
The machine described in this use and maintenance manual is a manual drive aerial platform (moving is not power-driven)
intended for lifting persons and materials (equipment and work materials) in order to carry out maintenance, installation, cleaning,
painting, de-painting, sand-blasting, welding operations, etc.
The max. capacity allowed (which varies according to the model –see paragraph “Technical features”) is divided as follows:
-80 Kg for each person on board.
-40 Kg for equipment.
-Any remaining load is represented by the work materials.
In any case NEVER exceed the maximum capacity allowed as indicated in paragraph "Technical features”. Persons, tools and work
materials can be loaded on the platform only from the access position (platform lowered). It is absolutely forbidden to load persons,
tools and work materials on the platform when it is not in access position.
All loads must be positioned inside the platform. Do not lift loads (even if complying with the maximum capacity allowed) hanging
from the platform or lifting structure.
Do not carry large-sized panels since they increase the resistance to wind force thus causing the machine to overturn.
It is forbidden to move the machine with platform raised. To move the machine it is necessary that the work platform is in the
access position (fully lowered). No operator must be on board the platform during the displacement of the machine.
The machine is not equipped with an overload controller as in the design phase we considered stability and overload criteria
increased as reported by the EN280 in paragraphs 5.4.1.5 and 5.4.1.6 .
The machine cannot be used in areas where road vehicles operate. Always surround the working area by means of suitable signs
when the machine is used in public areas.
All types of machine use other than those for which it was designed must be approved in writing by the machine manufacturer
following a specific request on the part of the user.

Use and Maintenance Manual - XP - XLP Series
Page 7
Do not use the machine for purposes other than those for which it was designed, except after making a
request and having obtained written permission in this sense from the manufacturer
1.3.1 Leaving at height
The work elevating platforms are not designed by taking into account the risks of the “leaving at height” because the only access
position considered is when the platform is completely lowered. For this reason this activity is formally forbidden.
However, there are exceptional conditions in which the operator needs to access or leave the work platform not in the access
position. This activity is normally defined as “leaving at height”.
The risks connected to the “leaving at height” do not depend exclusively on the PLE (work elevating platform) characteristics; a
specific risk analysis carried out by the employer can authorize this specific use by taking into account:
The working environment characteristics;
The absolute prohibition to consider the work platform as an anchoring point for people working outdoors;
The use of the machine at xx% of its performances to avoid that additional forces created by a specific operation or
bending of the structure move away the access zone from the unloading zone. Provide for some tests in order to define
these limitations;
Provide for a specific evacuation procedure in case of emergency (for example: an operator always on the platform, one at
the ground control panel while a third operator leaves the lifted platform );
Provide for a specific training of the staff both as operator and transported staff;
Equip the unloading zone with all the devices that are necessary to avoid the risk of fall of the staff that accesses/leaves
the platform.
What said above is not a formal authorization of the manufacturer for the “leaving at height”, but it wants to supply information to
the employer - who is fully responsible for that - which can be useful for the planning of this exceptional activity.
1.4 Description of the machine
The machine described in this use and maintenance manual is a Manual Drive Elevating Work Platform equipped with:
-Chassis equipped with wheels.
-Vertical scissor lifting structure operated by one or more hydraulic cylinders (the number of cylinders varies according to
machine model).
-Work platform (the max. capacity varies according to the model - see chapter "Technical features”).
The chassis is equipped with four idle wheels of which two rear pivoting and two front fixed (non steering). The rear wheels are
equipped with pedal parking brake; on front wheels there is a device for automatic braking which intervenes when the work platform
is in a position other than the access one.
The hydraulic cylinder moving the extensible structure is provided with a solenoid safety valve directly flanged on the same. These
devices allow the booms to remain in position even if one of the supply tubes accidentally breaks.
The platform is equipped with rails and toe-boards of a prescribed height (the height of the rails is 1100 mm; the height of the
toe-boards is 150 mm). For basic models XP4 E –XP5 E –XLP5 E the platform perimeter corresponds to the rails perimeter,
while for DUAL models it is possible to adjust the maximum platform size by adjusting the rails on two fixed positions. In the "open"
position, the rails make the whole platform floor available to the operator; in the "closed" position the rails reduce its perimeter
dimensions allowing the operator on board to fit the platform into confined spaces such as the panels of false ceilings.
To access the platform the following access systems are available:
-Entrance area with one-door reclosing gate and automatic lock in the closed position (standard for basic models XP4 E –XP5
E –XLP5 E);
-Entrance area with gravity rod (standard for "DUAL” models);
-Entrance area with two-door gate ("saloon” type) with automatic reclosing and locking system in closed position (optional for
"DUAL” models).
When no motive power is available, the manual emergency lowering can be controlled enabling the knob manually from the ground
(see instructions plates).

Use and Maintenance Manual - XP - XLP Series
Page 8
1.5 Control panels
The machine is provided with a single control panel on the platform for the normal use of the machine.
On the ground there is an emergency stop device and the device for manual emergency lowering.
1.6 Drive power
The machines are powered by an electro-hydraulic system consisting of rechargeable accumulators and electric pump.
Both the hydraulic and the electric systems are equipped with all necessary protections (see electric and hydraulic circuit diagrams
annexed to this manual).
1.7 Machine life, demolition and decommissioning
The machine has been designed to last for 10 years in normal operating environments, if properly used and serviced. Within this
period, the manufacturer must carry out a complete inspection/overhaul.
If disposal of the unit is necessary, comply with current local regulations.
In Italy, the demolition/decommissioning must be notified to the local ASL / USL or ARPA.
The machine consists mainly of metal parts which are easy to be identified (steel for the most parts, and aluminium for the
hydraulic blocks); thus, we can state that the machine can be recycled at 90%.
European standards and those transposed by the member countries relating to respect for the environment
and the disposal of wastes envisage heavy administrative and penal fines in case of infringement.
In case of demolition/decommissioning, carefully keep to the provisions of applicable regulations,
especially as regards materials such as hydraulic oil and batteries.

3. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
3.1 Personal protective equipment (PPE)
Always wear personal protective equipment according to
current regulations concerning industrial health and safety (in
particular, hard hat and safety shoes are COMPULSORY).
It is the operator or safety manager’s responsibility to choose
the personal protective equipment (PPE) depending on the
activity to be carried out. For their correct use and
maintenance, refer to the equipment manuals themselves.
The use of safety harness is not compulsory except in certain
countries with specific regulations. In Italy, the consolidation act
on safety, Law Decree 81/08, has made the use of a safety
harness mandatory.

3.3 Use instructions
3.3.1 General
The electric and hydraulic circuits are provided with safety devices, calibrated and sealed by the manufacturer:
DO NOT TAMPER WITH AND MODIFY THE CALIBRATION OF ANY COMPONENT OF THE ELECTRIC AND
HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS.
The machine must be used only in areas well lit up, checking that the ground is flat and firm. The machine may
not be used if the lighting conditions are not sufficient. The machine is not equipped with any lightening system.
Before using the machine check its integrity and conservation state.
During maintenance operations do not dispose of any waste materials in the environment, but comply with
current regulations.
Do not carry out any service or maintenance operations when the machine is connected to the mains supply.
Follow the instructions given in the following paragraphs.
Do not approach the electric and hydraulic system components with sources of heat or flames.
Do not increase the max. allowed height by means of scaffolds, ladders or other.
With the machine lifted, do not fasten the platform to any structure (beams, pillars or wall).
Do not use the machine as a crane, hoist or lift.
Protect the unit (in particular the platform control panel) and the operator when working in adverse
environmental conditions (painting, de-painting, sand-blasting, washing, etc.).
Using the machine in bad weather conditions is forbidden; in particular, wind speeds must not exceed the limits
indicated in the technical specifications (to measure speeds, see following chapters).
Machines with a wind speed limit of 0 m/s are to be used indoors only.
The machine must be parked / stored in closed environments, not exposed to weather conditions, within the
temperature limits indicated in table "Technical features" and with both parking brakes on. It cannot be parked /
stored outdoors.
Do not use the machine in areas where risks of fire or explosion exist.
Do not use pressurized water jets (high-pressure cleaners) to wash the machine.
Overloading the work platform is forbidden.
Avoid knocks and/or contacts with other vehicles and fixed structures.
Leaving or accessing the work platform is forbidden unless this is in the position required for access or leaving
(see the “Accessing the platform” chapter).
3.3.2 Handling
Before handling the machine check that the connection plugs are disconnected from the power supply source.
Move the machine into working position by pushing it with both hands on the handles placed on the entry rail.
Pay attention during this procedure to avoid any hands or feet crushing.
While operating on slopes ask for colleague’s help to avoid risks.
In order to avoid any instability, use the machine on regular and firm grounds. To prevent the machine from
overturning, comply with the max. gradeability values indicated in the Technical data section under paragraph
"Stability limits". However, movements on inclined grounds are to be carried out with the utmost caution.
It is forbidden to move the machine with platform raised. To move the machine it is necessary that the work
platform is in the access position (fully lowered). No operator and/or material must be on board the platform
during the displacement of the machine.
The machine must not be used directly for road transport. Do not use it for material transport (see chapter
“Intended use”).
Do not operate the machine if components boxes are not properly closed.
Check that in the operating area there are not obstacles or other dangerous elements.
Pay particular attention to the area above the machine during lifting to avoid any crushing and collisions.
During operation keep your hands in safety position, the driver has to place them as shown in picture A or B
while the transported operator has to keep them as shown in picture C.

3.3.3 Operating procedures
The machine is equipped with an inclination control system disabling lifting in case of unstable positioning.
Working operations can be resumed only after placing the machine in a steady position. Should the tilt alarm
turn on, the machine is not correctly positioned (see paragraphs “Use instructions”) and the platform must
be brought back to safety rest position before resuming operations.
The machine is not equipped with an overload controller as in the design phase we considered stability and
overload criteria increased as reported by the EN280 in paragraphs 5.4.1.5 and 5.4.1.6 .
The machine is equipped with a device to avoid the risk of shearing and crushing in the lifting structure in
compliance with EN280:2001: the lowering movement is automatically stopped in a position where the
vertical distance between the scissor ends is over 100 mm. The operator on the platform should check that
no people are nearby the area with crushing risk, only then the lowering control can be resumed (see
chapter "Lifting and lowering").
The machine features a device for checking the state of battery charge (battery protection device): when
battery charge is at 20% this condition is signalled by a red flashing light on the voltmeter. In this condition
lifting is disabled, battery should be immediately charged.
Do not lean over the platform guard rails.
Make sure that no people, apart from the operator, are in the area where the machine is operating. While
lowering the platform, the operator on board should pay particular attention to avoid any contact with the
personnel on the ground.
During operations in public areas, in order to prevent people other than the personnel from approaching the
machine and being endangered, surround the working area by means of barriers or other suitable signs.
Lift the platform only if the machine rests on solid and horizontal surfaces (see the next chapters) and only
when all four wheels are in contact with the ground.
After each work session, always take the keys out of the control panels and keep them in a safe place to
prevent unauthorized people from using the machine.
Always place working tools in a steady position to prevent them from falling and hurting the operators on the
ground.
When choosing the positioning point of the chassis, to prevent unexpected possible contacts with obstacles, always observe the
figures carefully as these make it possible to identify the range of action of the platform ( chap. 2).
