2.2 Operating site
When a BoSS X-Series machine is delivered to site ensure that
the machine will be able to reach the work area; these are not
rough terrain machines and should not be pushed across unstable
orunevengroundasthiscouldcausesignicantdamagetothe
machines. It is good practice to walk the route from the machine
parking place to the workplace.
A visual inspection of the operating area should be made before
setting up the machine paying particular attention to the following
issues:
2.2.1 Ground conditions
Ensure that the ground on which the BoSS X-Series machine is to
operate is capable of supporting the weight of the machine (including
themaximumratedloadof240kg).Beawareofspecicoorareas
such as manhole covers which may not be designed to withstand the
followingmaximumpointloadingexertedbythecastorwheels:
BoSS X3X – 17.43kg/cm2
BoSS X3 – 16.83kg/cm2
BoSS X2 – 15.8kg/cm2
2.2.2 Ground flatness
IdeallytheBoSSX-Seriesmachineshouldbeoperatedonaat
surface resulting in a 0 degree chassis inclination. However, the
BoSS X-Series machine can be safely operated where the ground
isslightlyunevenresultinginthefollowingmaximumlateraland
longitudinal inclinations:
BoSS X3X – 1.250
BoSS X3 – 1.50
BoSS X2 – 1.50
TheBoSSX-Seriesmachinesarettedwithatiltsensorandwill
notraiseifthisangleisexceeded.Allfourcastorwheelsmustbein
contact with the ground at all times.
2.2.3 Overheard obstructions
Ensure that adequate clearance is available above and around the
platform before deployment and elevation. Pay particular attention to
the presence of live electrical cables.

11 BoSS X-Series User guide
2.2.4 Segregation from other site vehicle movements
Every worksite should be subject to a risk assessment and where
vehicle movements are likely to occur close to the BoSS X-Series
machine, measures should be taken to segregate the machine from
other vehicles. This might include the use of cones, barriers, signage
and rerouting measures.
2.3 Noise and vibration
ThemaximumnoiselevelemittedbyaBoSSX-Seriesmachineis
75.8dB(A).HandandarmvibrationexperiencedonaBoSSX-Series
machinedoesnotexceed2.31m/s2.
2.4 Limitations
The BoSS X-Series machine is limited to indoor operation and
must not be used outdoors. Please consult the manufacturer if you

In the unlikely event of a power failure of the BoSS X-Series machine
the platform can be lowered manually by use of the following
procedure:
STEP 1 Turnthengerscrewontheemergencydescentvalve
anticlockwise until it will not turn any further, as shown in Figure 1 below.
STEP 2 Pull the red handle under the step up to the platform towards
you until the platform has fully lowered, as shown in Figure 2 below.
If for any reason, you need to stop the emergency descent at any
time, release the handle and the platform will stop descending.
To continue the descent pull the red handle again.

WARNING
Always ensure that someone at ground level i.e. other than the
operator, is trained to perform this procedure.
In the unlikely event that the motor will not stop running, even after
both emergency stop buttons have been depressed, open the drawer
in the chassis and using the red strap remove the 100A fuse and close
the drawer before undertaking the emergency lowering procedure
above. DO NOT reuse the machine until it has been inspected, and if
necessary repaired, by a competent engineer.
