1.1.2.1Notification of commissioning and first check (only for Italy).
In Italy, the owner of the Elevating Work Platform (PLE) must report its commissioning to INAIL and submit
it to mandatory periodic checks. The first check is carried out by INAIL within sixty days from the request,
after which the employer can make use of the ASLs or authorized public or private entities.
Subsequent checks are carried out by the aforementioned subjects, who provide them within thirty days
from the request, after which the employer can make use of authorized public or private subjects. The
checks are expensive and the costs for their execution are borne by the owner of the machine. To carry
out the checks, the territorial supervisory bodies (ASL / USL or ARPA) and INAIL may avail themselves of
the support of authorized public or private entities. Authorized private entities acquire the qualification
of public service officers and report directly to the public structure that holds the function.
To report commissioning in Italy, it is necessary to connect to the INAIL portal following the instructions
on the portal itself.
INAIL will assign a serial number and during the First Inspection, will fill in the "technical identification
sheet", reporting on it only the data detectable by the machine already in service or inferable from the
instruction manual. This document will be an integral part of the machine documentation.
1.1.2.2Periodic checks following the first check.
In Italy, compulsory periodic checks take place annually. For their performance, it is necessary that the
owner of the PLE makes a request by registered letter to the supervisory body (ASL / USL or ARPA or other
authorized public or private subjects) competent for the territory at least twenty days before the end of
the year from the time of past verification.
It should be noted that, if a machine without a valid verification document is moved on the territory in
an area outside the competence of the usual supervisory body, it is the owner's obligation to request the
annual check from the supervisory body competent for the new territory. in which the machine is to
operate.
1.1.2.3Transfers of ownership of the PLE.
In Italy, in case of transfer of ownership, the previous owner of the PLE is required to communicate the
unavailability of the machine by connecting to the INAIL portal.
The new owner will have to retrieve the registration data of the PLE on the same INAIL portal, in order
to continue to subject the machine to the periodic checks required by law.
The new owner must in any case obtain from the previous owner the accompanying documentation
already mentioned in the previous chapters (see SUPPLIED DOCUMENTATION).
To take advantage of the WARRANTY and to receive any updates and SERVICE BULLETINS, the new owner
must report to ALMAC SRL that he has taken possession of the machine by means of written
communication using the forms provided at the end of this manual.

1.1.3 Training, information and training of operators.
Training, information and training of operators are legal obligations for the employer. The employer must
in fact ensure that the workers in charge of the use of the equipment receive adequate and specific
training to allow their use in a suitable and safe way, also in relation to the damage that may be caused
to other people and things. Remember that both the one who directly manoeuvres the machine and the
one on the ground for any recovery and rescue operations are considered operators.
The operators in charge must be at least 18 years old and be recognized as suitable from a psycho-physical
point of view for this task. In particular, before driving, it is necessary to check the following
requirements:
-Sight and hearing in good condition;
-Absence of alterations induced by the use of alcohol or drugs;
-Psychological balance, absence of depression or stress.
1.1.4 Tests are carried out before delivery.

1.2 Description and intended use of the machine.
The machine described in this manual is a self-propelled Elevating Work Platform or, as described by the
EN280 technical standard, a mobile machine designed to move people to work positions, in which they
perform tasks while remaining on the work platform, with the understanding that persons enter and exit
the work platform only through access positions at ground or chassis level, and which consists of at least
a work platform with controls, an extendable structure (lift arms) and a frame.
The planned activities are:
-Green maintenance;
-Maintenance and installation of systems or devices at height;
-Cleaning;
-Stripping, sandblasting, painting, welding;
-All the activities to be carried out at height with the operator on the platform;
The maximum capacity allowed (different for each model; refer to the technical data in the tables later
in this manual) consists of:
-For each person a load of 80 kg is considered;
-For the equipment, a minimum load of 40 kg is considered;
-The remaining load is represented by the material being processed.
The machine essentially consists of:
-A motorized base undercarriage, with variable track (excluding “RT” models with fixed track),
equipped with tracks.
-Hydraulically rotating turret;
-Extensible structure operated by hydraulic cylinders;
-Operator platform.
The base tank supports the power source (heat engine or battery) and is mainly composed of the following
components:
-Fixed lower frame on which the oil and fuel tanks are installed (if the machine is equipped
with a heat engine), the battery, the hydraulic and electrical systems and the ground
emergency control station;
-Left track equipped with gearmotor for moving the machine, and telescopic supports for
controlling the variable track (excluding “RT” models with fixed track);
-Left track equipped with gearmotor for moving the machine, and telescopic supports for
controlling the variable track (excluding “RT” models with fixed track);
-Articulated fifth wheel support is operated by a pair of hydraulic cylinders for the levelling
control of the superstructure, on which the rotation fifth wheel is fixed.
The hydraulically rotating turret is fixed to the articulated support of the carriage and allows rotation of
the superstructure with respect to the vertical axis of the machine. The allowed rotation is limited, and
this limitation varies from model to model (see the technical data table to understand the maximum
rotation angle of each model).
The extensible structure consists of
oTelescopic main arm;
oJib
The lifting / lowering movements of the arm and the jib are carried out by means of hydraulic cylinders
equipped with over-centre valves directly flanged on them in order to keep the arms in position even in
the event of accidental breakage of a supply pipe.
The telescopic extension is operated by:
-A double-acting hydraulic cylinder with over-centre valve and a flyer chain system for the JIBBI
1250, JIBBI 1270 and JIBBI 1670 models;
-A double-acting and double-extension hydraulic cylinder (without chains) for the JIBBI U 1570
model.
Appropriate sensors monitor the position of the platform at a height, verifying that the operator always
remains within the expected safety operating limits (height, outreach).
The work platform is fixed to the end of the jib arm and can be rotated differently for each model (see
the technical data table to understand the maximum rotation angle of each model) by means of a rotary
actuator also provided of the over-centre valve to keep it in position in case of hydraulic failure. The

PAGE12
platform is made of aluminium and is equipped with parapets and toe-boards of regular height (parapets
H = 1100 mm; toeboard H = 150 mm). Platforms of various sizes can be installed; see technical data.
The levelling of the platform is automatic and is guaranteed by:
-Master-slave hydraulic system for models JIBBI 1250, JIBBI 1270 and JIBBI 1670;
-Electronic levelling system for the JIBBI U 1570 model.
For some versions, on request it is possible to provide:
-Quick basket removal system;
-Material lifting hoist to be applied as an interchangeable accessory in place of the platform.
The machine control system consists of several sensors that allow you to keep overall stability under
control by keeping the turret and the extensible structure level and adjusting the height, outreach and
working speed according to the various monitored parameters, i.e.:
-Ground inclination;
-Machine track (excluding fixed track "RT" models);
-Position of the rotating turret;
-Opening angle of the main arm;
-Position of the telescopic extension of the arm;
-Opening angle of the jib;
-Loading on the platform.
Through the display (or the LED lights) on the platform control panel, the operator on board is constantly
informed of the operating limits reached and the permitted movements.

PAGE13
1.3 Operating positions.
The machine control system can be of two types:
-Control system with wired console on platform (remote control - standard);
-Control system with console connected via radio on platform (radio control - optional).
In both cases, the normal operating position is located on the platform while on the ground there is a
control station for the emergency recovery of the platform. However, it is possible to drive the machine
on foot during transfers.
1.3.1 Use with driver on foot.
Regardless of the type of control system (remote control or radio control), it is possible to remove the
control console from the platform, and drive the machine on foot when placing the machine or for loading
and unloading the machine from the means of transport.
-With the remote control outside its housing on the platform, all the machine controls are
allowed limited to the length of the connection cable;
-With the radio control (optional) outside its housing on the platform, the following commands
are allowed:
oIf the platform load is less than 20 kg:
▪All commands are allowed.
oIf the platform load is greater than 20 kg:
▪Variable track control, translation and turret levelling only if the arm is in
TRANSPORT POSITION;
▪Controls for the development of the extensible structure (ascents / descents /
rotations) up to the limit of the TRANSPORT POSITION.
For machines equipped with the winch option, the operator drives the machine on foot in the following
ways:
-With remote control connected to the connector available on the ground control station;
-With radio control.
1.4 Power.
The machines are equipped with a hydraulic system through which the movement is obtained. The
machines can be set up with different energy sources based on the following:
-ELC version = Machine powered by lead-acid battery and electric pump;
-LTH version = Machine powered by lithium battery and electric pump;
-EVO version = Machine powered by a diesel engine and hydraulic pumps.
As an option, for the EVO and LTH versions, it is possible to have an electric pump powered by the mains
voltage.
In any case, both the hydraulic and electrical systems are equipped with all the necessary protections
(see electrical and hydraulic diagrams supplied as attachments to this manual).

PAGE14
1.5 Uses not permitted and "Disembarkation at high altitude".
Normal and permitted use of the machine is described in the previous paragraphs. Anything not described
as normal and permitted use is to be considered as not permitted use.
-It is forbidden to operate the work platform from the ground control station except for
emergency recovery operations.
-It is forbidden to operate the work platform with the control console outside the work platform
if there are operators on board; the control system is already configured to prevent such use
if there is a load greater than 20 kg on the platform.
-Since the MEWPs are designed to operate from the operating position on the platform, and the
only permitted access position is the one that foresees the platform on the ground, any activity
that involves accessing and / or abandoning the same with the platform in a position other
than that of access (the so-called "landing at height") is formally prohibited.

PAGE15
1.6 Identification.
In the event of a request for spare parts and for interventions, the data shown on the registration plate
located on the turret or on the identification plate on the platform must always be mentioned. In case
of loss or illegibility of the plates (as well as for the various adhesive plates located throughout the
machine), it must be restored as quickly as possible.
For the location of the plates see the following figure. It is advisable to transcribe these data in the
following table:
