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, for LUI PK., have been designed in such a manner
that the operator may always keep "four points of contact"
with the machine: Both hands and both feet MUST BE con-
tinuously 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
machine is recommended to be used as an attachment
point for safety belt . Do not use this point to lift, anchor,
secure or support the platform or any other apparatus or
material. The lanyard attachment anchorage is used for

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, with respective tools and equipment, 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 cargo uniformly over the cargo compartment and
on the platform.
• 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 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
The order picker is a truck with an elevating operator position intended for
picking operations (manual picking and storage of goods from shelves);
The main command panel is located on the platform.
This lifting device is an electrical, self-propelled or push around (LUI PK)
vehicle and it is equipped with an aerial work platform, mounted on a strut
elevation mechanism, actuated by a special single hydraulic cylinder with a
synchronised effect.
From the platform command panel, the operator may drive the vehicle (only
for LUI PK) and lift up or lower the platform. The LUI PK is equipped with an
electrically actuated cargo lift area controlled by two easily accessed but-
tons located on the side of the machine, which allow the operator to raise
and lower the cargo platform, which is reserved only for objects and materi-
als, without leaving his or her position.
The LUI MINI P.A. is equipped with a manually actuated cargo lift area con-
trolled by an easily lever located underneath the cargo shelf, which allow
the operator to raise and lower the cargo platform, which is reserved only
for objects and materials.
The LUI PK has two drive wheels in the rear and two castor wheels 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.
The LUI MINI P.A. has two free castor wheels in the rear and two self brak-
ing wheels in front. It is necessary to use the ground command station
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.
NEVER MANOEUVRE THE LUI MINI P.A. WITH A PERSON INSIDE THE
BASKET
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
( only for LUI PK)
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.
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 (only for LUI PK)
7. Make sure that all the machine functions have been
disabled when the emergency stop button is activated (pressed).

3.3 FUNCTION OF THE MACHINE
Preliminary Operations
Before activating the machine using the commands on the ground station
panel or those on the platform, it is necessary to satisfy the following com-
mand conditions.
• Battery voltage must be sufficient for operation. The battery dis-
charged alarm does not necessarily have to be present either on
the ground command panel, or on the battery status indicator
found on the side of the vehicle (only for LUI PK).
• The key switch on the basket command station panel must be set
either on the ground command mode or on the platform command
mode.
• The emergency stop buttons, on the command panel of the plat-
form and on the ground command panel must be in RESET posi-
tion (extended outward).
• For LUI PK: the LCD screen on which the status of the machine
may be visualised on the ground command panel must indicate
normal operational conditions upon turn-on of the machine.
• FOR LUI PK :the machine operates, (it moves and lifts) only if the

Battery low voltage alarm warning light
On the LUI PK command panels on the platform and the ground station have
indicators of low battery voltage.
On LUI MINI P.A. frame section has the indicator of low battery voltage.
Battery charging procedure
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 electri-
cal 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.
ATTENTION
