SECTION 1.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1.4 RISK OF FALLING
• Before using the machine, make sure that all of the safety
railings and gates are attached in their correct positions.
• Keep both feet firmly planted on the floor of the platform.
• Do not set ladders, boxes, steps, boards or other similar
articles on the platform floor in order to increase the range
of action of the same.
• Do not use the lifting group to climb up onto the platform
nor for climbing down from it.
• Pay very close attention when getting onto the platform or
when getting off of it. Make sure that the lifting group is
completely lowered. When getting onto the platform or
when getting off of it, do so facing the machine.
• The operation of the commands, controls and safety sen-
sors have been designed in such a manner that the opera-
tor may always keep "four points of contact" with the ma-
chine: both hands and both feet MUST BE continuously in
contact with the machine when it is in operation.
• Always keep “three points of contact ” with the machine,
doing so in such a manner that both hands and one foot or
else both feet and one hand are continuously in contact
with the machine when getting on or getting off of it.
• if Lanyard Attachment Anchorage is required by site au-
thorities or other regulations, the anchorage point on this

1.5 ELECTROCUTION HAZARD
SECTION 1.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The machine is not electrically insulated.
Maintain a distance of at least 3 metres (10 feet) between any part of the ma-
chine and its occupant and an electrical power line or piece of equipment with an
electrical charge rated at least 50,000 Volts.
It is necessary to add 0.3 metres (1 foot) for each additional increase equal to or
less than 30,000 Volts.
It is possible to reduce the minimum safe operational distance in presence of
insulating barriers for the prevention of contacts, if those barriers have been ad-
justed to the voltage of the electrical lines they are set to protect.
The barriers must not be a part of the machine nor may they be connected to it.
The minimum operational safety distance may be reduced within the operational
dimensions indicated by the insulating barriers. This distance is to be deter-
mined by a qualified person subject to the company, local and governmental
regulations regarding the undertaking of work operations in the proximity of high
voltage equipment.
1.6 TOPPLING HAZARD
• Before driving the machine, the user must become familiar
with the surface area of the workplace. While driving the
vehicle, do not exceed the slopes or the transversal slopes
permitted.
• Do not raise the platform or drive the machine with the plat-
form raised on a slope or on an irregular or soft surface.
• Before driving onto floors, bridges, trucks or other surfaces,
verify the maximum load bearing values of those.
• Do not exceed the maximum load of the elevated platform
• Distribute tires only on the lift compartment doing this without
loading and unloading suddenly them
• Keep the chassis of the machine at a minimum distance of
0.6 metres (2 feet) from holes, rough areas, descents, obsta-
cles, debris, hidden holes and other potential hazards that
may be found on ground level.
• Do not attempt to use the machine as a crane. Do not tie or
bind the machine to any other adjacent structure.
• Do not rise the platform in windy or gusty condition
• Do not increase the size of the platform with extensions of
the landing or unauthorised additions. If the area of the ma-
chine exposed to the wind is increased, its stability is de-
creased.
• If the lifting group or the platform become stuck in such a
manner that one or more wheels come off of the ground, it is
necessary to have the operator climb down off of the plat-
form before attempting to free the machine. To stabilise the
machine and have personnel descend from the platform, use
a crane, a fork lift truck or other suitable equipment.
• It is strictly forbidden to go in and out the platform when
raised

SECTION 3.
OPERATION OF THE MACHINE
3.1
THE MANUFACTURER HAS NO DIRECT CONTROL WHATSOEVER ON
THE APPLICATION OR THE OPERATION OF THE MACHINE.
THE USER AND THE OPERATOR ARE HELD TO FOLLOW THE COR-
RECT SAFETY PROCEDURES.
This section provides information necessary for the comprehension of the
operational command functions.
3.2 DESCRIPTION OF THE MACHINE
This machine is an electrical, self-propelled vehicle and it is equipped with a
platform, mounted on a strut elevation mechanism, actuated by a special
single hydraulic cylinder with a synchronised effect.
The purpose of the machine is to allow access to areas above ground level,
for the manual picking of tires, which will be placed on the lift compartment .
The main command panel is located on the platform.
From the platform command panel, the operator may drive the vehicle, lift
up or lower the platform . The machine is equipped with an electrically actu-
ated lift compartment controlled by two easily accessed buttons located on
the side of the machine, which allow the operator to raise and lower the lift
compartment, which is reserved only for tires, without leaving his or her
position.
The machine has two drive wheels in the rear and two castor wheel in front.
It is necessary to use the ground programmable command station panel
when the machine is being serviced or functional verifications are per-
formed or in case of emergency, if the operator on the platform is not capa-
ble of lowering it.
3. Slope alarm limit: with the platform completely lowered, drive the
vehicle on a slope greater than 1.5° in any direction (not exceeding
its nominal operational capacity on a grade). The alarm of the vehi-
cle will indicate a sloped condition in the event of an attempt to raise
the platform.
4. Transmission speed reduction limit: If the platform is raised for
more than 0.4 m (1.5 - 2 ft), the transmission velocity is reduced by 1/4
compared to the transmission speed for the lowering of the platform
5. Platform gate opening limit: The entry gate is equipped with springs
on both of its wings that automatically close the entry gate as soon as
they are released. The entry gate is also equipped with microswitches
on both wings that prevent travelling, elevating or lowering movements
when entry gate is not correctly closed.
6. Left/right handle and footswitch sensor - The machine operates (it
moves and it is raised) exclusively if the operator keeps his or her
hand resting on the left and right side handle (pic.A) and with both
heels pressing on the footswitches positioned on the platform (pic.B).
This safety position is to be maintained throughout all operations of the
machine.
7. Make sure that all the machine functions have been
disabled when the emergency stop button is activated (pressed).

This machine is equipped with a battery charger with an AC electrical power
input/DC electrical power output. The battery charger stops charging the
batteries automatically when they have reached full charge.
NOTE: When the battery charger is connected to an AC electrical outlet, the
platform vehicle transmission is disabled.
THE LEAD ACID BATTERIES MAY GENERATE EXPLOSIVE HYDROGEN
GAS DURING NORMAL OPERATION. KEEP SPARKS, OPEN FLAMES
OR LIT TOBACCO AT A SAFE DISTANCE FROM THE BATTERIES.
DURING BATTERY CHARGING PROVIDE FOR ADEQUATE VENTILA-
TION IN THE AREA. DO NOT CHARGE A FROZEN BATTERY. CARE-
FULLY STUDY THE PRECAUTIONS SPECIFIED BY THE BATTERY
MANUFACTURER RELATIVE TO THE SPEED OF CHARGING RECOM-
MENDED AS WELL AS THE POSSIBILITY OF REMOVAL OF THE CELL
CAPS DURING CHARGING.
1. Park the vehicle in a well ventilated area near an AC wall socket.
2. Always use a grounded (earthed) AC socket. Connect the battery
charger to a correctly installed AC socket with ground connection
according to all of the local regulations in force. The grounded socket
is necessary so as to reduce the risk of electrical shocks - do not use
grounded adapters and do not modify the plug. If an extension is
used, avoid excessive drops in voltage by using the 3 wire 12 AWG
type.
