1.11 Intended use and improper uses
1.11.1 Intended use
The machine described in this manual is a self-propelled elevating work platform
designed to lift personnel and equipment to perform the following jobs:
•professional gardening and general work
•installation of systems and equipment
•cleaning
•painting and paint removal
The maximum allowed capacity for this model is 250 kg. Consider the following:
•2 (two) persons each weighing 80 kg
•90 kg of equipment
An electronic control system prevents the work platform from lifting to any
position when the load exceeds approx. 20% of the rated load given in the
technical specifications.
The platform was designed and built to be driven only from the console located
on the work platform.
The push-button is of the removable type and can only be used by the operator
to control the platform exclusively in transport position.
The controls on the ground on the rear side are for EMERGENCY use or
MAINTENANCE by qualified personnel.
Warning: NEVER exceed the machine's established maximum capacity.
Warning: It is FORBIDDEN to transport large slabs or materials since this could
increase wind resistance to a considerable extent and cause the machine to tip
over.
Warning: It is FORBIDDEN to apply horizontal loads to the platform when the
machine is moving (e.g. the operators on board must not pull ropes or cables…)
Warning: It is FORBIDDEN to use the machine to tow other equipment or
vehicles.
All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com

PAGE 17 ALMAC s.r.l.
Warning: the machine is designed to be driven around within public or private
areas. It is not designed for road circulation
Warning: The machine IS NOT SET FOR OPERATION IN ATEX CLASSIFIED
ATMOSPHERES
ALL LOADS must be positioned inside the work platform. NEVER LIFT LOADS
HANGING FROM THE PLATFORM, from the lifting structure or from the railings.
If the machine is used in places open to the public or in construction sites where
persons may transit or remain in the vicinity, the WORK AREA MUST BE
CORDONED OFF in a suitable way (e.g. chains and posts).

2SAFETY INFORMATION
2.1 Notification of commissioning and routine inspections
The work equipment indicated in Annex VII to Legislative decree D.Lgs 81/2008
and successive amendments must be subjected to REGISTRATION and ROUTINE
INSPECTIONS by the competent authorities, i.e. INAIL, the National Institute for
Insurance Against Industrial Accidents (former ISPESL, Higher Institute for
Prevention in the Workplace), the Local Health Authority and other public and
private bodies established by the criteria laid down in Ministerial decree DM
11/04/2011.
•The User or Employer must notify Commissioning to the territorially
competent National Institute for Insurance Against Industrial Accidents

(Regional Agency for the Protection of the Environment) or by Public or
Private undertakings, as freely decided by the Employer or User and in
accordance with the established formalities.
Attached are a few EXAMPLES of "notice of commissioning" and "routine
inspections". Users should check them each time in the www.inail.it portal,
according to the installation site in question.
