1.11 Intended use and improper use
1.11.1 Intended use
The M.E.W.P. BIBI 850-HE 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-HE 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. 20% 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 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.
The MEWP has been designed for the lifting at different heights of persons only, to carry
out the operations allowed within the platform. THEREFORE IT IS NOT INTENDED
TO TRANSFER OF WORKERS BETWEEN DIFFERENT LEVELS OR FOR
GETTING OF THE WORK PLATFORM WHEN POSITIONED AT A HEIGHT.
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 on the move (e.g.
the operators on board must not pull ropes or cables…)
Warning: It is FORBIDDEN to use the machine for towing other equipment or vehicles.
Warning: the machine is designed for being driven within public or private areas. It is not designed for road
circulation
Warning: The machine IS NOT PREARRANGED FOR OPERATION IN ATEX CLASSIFIED
ATMOSPHERES

17
ALL LOADS must be positioned inside the basket. NEVER 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 forbidden to drive the platform to the ground using the remote push-button with
an operator present in the basket.
The platform was designed and built to be driven only from the push-button positioned in
the basket. The controls on the ground on the rear side are for EMERGENCY use or
MAINTENANCE by qualified personnel.
The push-button is of the removable type and can only be used by the operator to control
the platform exclusively in transport position.
1.11.3 Cases that relieve the manufacturer from liability
The manufacturer declines all liability in the following cases:
oUse not indicated in this manual
oImproper use of the machine or its use by untrained personnel
oUse that fails to comply with the specific standards
oLack of scheduled maintenance
oUnauthorized changes or interventions
oRemoval of seals
oUse of non-original replacement parts
oTotal or partial failure to comply with the instructions
oFailure to perform the Routine Inspections required by the laws in force

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.
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 D.Lgs 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 in charge with using 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 legislation 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 D.Lgs 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.
