Classification
The aerial work platform Sup15 belongs to the group B: during the working
phases, the vertical projection of the load gravity centre can be out of the
turnover lines (EN 280:2009 par. 1.4).
As to the movement, it belongs to the type No 1: the movement is allowed
only when the work platform is in transport position (EN 280:2009 par. 1.4).
1.6
Loading cycles
The machine is expected to live for 40.000 working cycles
1
(i.e. 10 years,
40 weeks per year, 20 hours per week, 5 cycles per hour).
Within this term, the machine must undergo at least 2 (two) in-depth
checks (structural, mechanical, electric, elements, etc.), in case of par-
ticular heavy uses (frequent use at the performance limit, particular unfa-
vourable environmental conditions such as steel systems, paper mills and
so on) it is better to increase the checks. Anyway it is advisable to
have the state of the machine checked by the manufacturer factory or
by an authorized assistance point, at least every 1500 – 2000 working
hours or once a year.
1
Loading cycle: cycle starting from the access position, performing the work and
returning to the access position.
1.7
CE Certification
CMC s.r.l. states under its own responsibility that the MEWP Sup15 was de-
signed and produced in compliance with national and European standards,
and that the machine is identical to the model submitted to control and test
for the “CE” certification by the Notified Institute n° 1878 VERICERT srl Via
Cavina 19 – 48100 Ravenna - Italy

2 Description and purpose
2.1
Definition
The machine is called Sup15 and it is a mobile elevating work platform
(MEWP):
mobile machine designed to take people to the work positions, where they
carry out duties from the work platform, with the understanding that people
get on or off the work platform through a defined access position and that it
is made of at least one work platform with controls, an extendible structure
and a frame. It is forbidden to access or to get off the work platform at
different levels.
2.2
Machine purpose
The aerial work platform Sup15 is an equipment which enables the opera-
tors to reach the working place when this is high-positioned.
The machine has been designed for an essentially vertical development. It
must be carried with the machinery set on the stop position.
The only professional use of the machine is allowed only to
specialized or trained staff.

2.3.1
Frame
1
(
Picture 5
)
Quality steel structure able to equally divide the equipment’s weight when
the MEWP is in transport position. The frame has 4 oil-pressure jack arms
for stabilization [2 front stabilizer cylinders 2 (Picture 5), 2 rear stabilizer
cylinders 3 (Picture 5)]. The basis for the bearing is placed on the frame 4
(Picture 5), it enables the swinging of the equipment through the rotation
group.
2.3.2
Turret
5 (Picture 5)
The turret, in quality steel, is fixed on the bearing. It is started by a hydraulic
engine (whose brake is normally closed), placed inside the turret. It enables
the rotation of the superstructure.
2.3.3
Double Pantograph
6 (Picture 5)
The pantograph is composed by two couples of parallel arms (Picture 5)
and by the pantograph connecting rod 7. The arms (tubular with rectangu-
lar section, press-formed and electro welded) and the connecting rod are in
quality steel sheets. The movement of the pantograph (pantograph lifting
and descent) is realized by the pantograph lifting oil-pressure cylinder. This
cylinder is hinged to the turret (rod side) and to the pantograph upper crank
(stem side) and it has a double effect balancing valve This cylinder is
hinged to the turret.
2.3.4
Telescopic arm
8 (Picture 5)
The telescopic arm is hinged to the turret 8 (Picture 5). The telescopic arm
is composed by two elements: 1 fixed arm, hinged to the pantograph con-
necting rod, and 1 sliding arm.
The sliding or re-entry movement of the telescopic arm is activated by op-
erating the “telescopic arm sliding cylinder device”.
The lifting or descend movement of the telescopic arm is activated by op-
erating the “telescopic arm lifting cylinder device”.
2.3.5
Jib
9 (Picture 5)
At the end of the telescopic arm is hinged an arm named Jib. The lifting or
descent of the Jib is done by operating the “Jib lifting cylinder” 10 (Picture
5).
2.3.6
Basket
11 (Picture 5)
In aluminium tubular, it has a lateral opening to allow the entrance of the
operators. The lateral opening is an auto-shutter and built to avoid acci-
dental openings. The basket has strong points for safety belts, a guard-rail
1,1m high from the basket floor, an intermediate guard-rail and a foot pro-
tecting band along all sides of the platform. The floor is in antiskid and au-
to-draining aluminium. The basket is removable: it is connected to a sup-
port through which it is possible to couple it with the jib.

Platform control (emergency) station
The control panel of the emergency station is placed on the right side of the
turret and it is composed by:
Picture 10: platform control (emergency) station
-Key selector for the use of the station 1 (Picture 10): in hori-
zontal position, it enables the emergency station; rotated
clockwise, it enables the basket control station;
-Proportional lever 2 (Picture 10): it is operated together with the
operations;
- Pantograph lift-descent 5 (Picture 10): it operates the lifting
(lever upwards) and the lowering (lever downwards); the movement
stops at its release.
- Arm lift-descent 6 (Picture 10): it operates the lifting (lever up-
wards) and the lowering (lever downwards) ; the movement stops at
its release.
- Arm extension-withdrawal 3 (Picture 10): it activates the exten-
sion (lever upwards) and withdrawal (lever downwards) movement;
the movement stops at its release .
- Turret rotation 4 (Picture 10): it operates the MEWP clockwise
(lever upwards) and counter clockwise (lever downwards) rotation of
the turret; the movement stops at its release .
- Jib lift-descent 7 (Picture 10): it operates the lifting (lever up-
wards) and the lowering (lever downwards) ; the movement stops at
its release .
Under the lever 2 there is an adjustable bolt. This bolt has to be
completely unscrewed when you utilise the emergency operation with the
manual pump.

4 Use procedures
4.1
Environmental exercise conditions
The equipment can work normally in the following environmental conditions
(for uses in different conditions, a special equipment is required):
•temperature from –20° C (-4 °F) to + 55° C (131 °F)
(even +70°C (158 °F) for short periods which do not ex-
ceed 24 h)
•humidity from 30% to 90% (at 20° C)
•max wind speed 12,5 m/s (45 Km/h) (27,96 mph)
Do not cover the equipment with cloths in order to avoid condensation in-
side the electrical boards.
.
After storage in closed and very wet places for a long period, the ma-
chine could have some problems due to condensation in the electrical
boards: in this case, should this occur, please contact the Technical Assis-
tance Service before use.
Do not operate in areas with dangerous environmental condi-
tions: poor visibility, storms, lightning risk, etc..
Do not to operate inside refrigerating rooms.
Do not operate when the wind speed exceeds a 12,5 m/s (45
Km/h). We hereby enclose (Schedule 1) Beaufort wind scale (Table

Transport, storage and package
To load/unload the platform, it is possible to use a travelling crane of ade-
quate capacity. For this operation, sling the MEWP as in Picture by the
coupling at the foot of the stabilizers.
Picture 11: harness
Lifting operations are to be carried out when the machine is closed.
Be careful not to damage the railings.
Always use the personal protection equipments; do not handle
ropes or chains without gloves.
The presence of persons in proximity during the operations is for-
bidden.
Alternatively, the load/unload can be done through ramp, exploiting the mo-
tricity of the machine as well as its ability to overcome slopes not > 25%
(13°). If you choose this option, please proceed with the following proce-
dure, and carefully reading the danger notes suggested.
Comply with the rules in force relevant to the width, height, weight
and transport speed allowed.
Check that the limit gauge is compatible with the features of the
route to travel (i.e. galleries, bridges, electrical and phone lines
etc.).
WARNING: in both cases, i.e. choosing one of the two meth-
ods, the user shall remove the basket: this to help the operations and
reduce the encumbrances.
