BIBI 850-BL Use and maintenance manual Rev.00 14
1.11 Intended use and improper uses
1.11.1 Intended use
The BIBI 850-BL MEWP described in this manual is a self-propelled elevating work platform
designed to lift personnel and equipment for performing the following jobs:
 professional gardening and general work
 installation of systems and equipment
 cleaning
 painting and paint removal
The max capacity for model BIBI 850-BL is 250 kg. Consider the following:
 2 (two) persons each weighing 80 kg
 90 kg of equipment
An electronic control system prevents the basket from lifting to any position when the load
exceeds approx. 30% of the rated load given in the technical specifications.
The platform was designed and built to be driven only from the console in the basket.
The pushbutton control panel is removable and can only be used by the operator to drive
the platform only in the TRANSPORT position.
The controls on the ground on the rear side are for EMERGENCY use or
MAINTENANCE by qualified personnel.
Attention: NEVER exceed the machine's established maximum capacity.
Attention: 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.
Attention: It is FORBIDDEN to apply horizontal loads to the platform when the machine is on the move (e.g.
the operators on board must not pull ropes or cables…)
Attention: It is FORBIDDEN to use the machine for towing other equipment or vehicles.
Attention: the machine is designed for being driven around within public or private areas. It is not designed
for road circulation.
Attention: the machine is NOT EQUIPPED TO WORK IN ATEX ATMOSPHERES

BIBI 850-BL Use and maintenance manual Rev.00 15
ALL LOADS must be positioned inside the basket. NEVER EVER LIFT LOADS HANGING FROM THE PLATFORM
or from the lifting structure.
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).
1.11.2 Improper uses
Any other use not specifically indicated in 1.11.1 Intended use.
! The improper uses established for this MEWP include lifting and lowering persons
to/from different storeys within space (typical use of elevators).
! It is also forbidden to drive the platform on the ground using the mobile pushbutton
panel with an operator in the basket.
The platform was designed and built to be driven only from the console in the basket. The
controls on the ground on the rear side are for EMERGENCY use or MAINTENANCE by
qualified personnel.
The pushbutton control panel is removable and can only be used by the operator to drive
the platform only in the TRANSPORT position.
1.11.3 Cases that relieve the manufacturer from liability
The manufacturer declines all liability in the following cases:
o Use not indicated in this manual
o Improper use of the machine or its use by untrained personnel
o Use that fails to comply with the specific standards
o Lack of scheduled maintenance;
o Unauthorized changes or interventions;
o Removal of seals
o Use of non-original replacement parts
o Total or partial failure to comply with the instructions
o Failure to perform the Routine Inspections required by the laws in force

BIBI 850-BL Use and maintenance manual Rev.00 16
Chapter 2 Safety information
2.1 Notification of commissioning and routine inspections
The work equipment indicated in Annex VII to Legislative decree 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.
a) The User or Employer must notify Commissioning to the territorially competent National Institute
for Insurance Against Industrial Accidents (INAIL) for the purpose of registering the platform.
b) Once the platform has been registered, ROUTINE INSPECTIONS must begin. The FIRST of these
is performed by INAIL within 45 days (since 21 August 2013) from the date on which the platform
is put into service.
c) The successive inspections, to be carried out at the frequency indicated in Annex VII to Legislative
Decree 81/2008, are carried out by the Local Health Departments (ASL) or, when permitted by the
regional laws, by ARPA (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.
2.2 Fitness of the personnel
The operators who use the machine must be properly trained, informed, instructed on how to use the
machine in safe conditions and must possess a training certificate issued in accordance with the laws
in force at the time of use*.
The operators who use the machine must be over 18 years of age and be recognized as psychophysically
fit for the task in question. The following requirements must be ascertained before the operators are
allowed to drive the machine:
 sight and hearing in good conditions
 absence of changes induced by use of alcohol or drugs
 psychological equilibrium, absence of depression or stress
Operators who use the machine for professional purposes must undergo health surveillance as required
by Legislative decree 81/2008 and successive amendments, particularly with regard to alcohol
addiction and alcohol concentration tests.
*The law that currently governs health control and surveillance of workers is the Provision of the State-Regions
Permanent Conference of 16 March 2006.
