NECESSARY CONDITIONS TO PLATFORM'S LIFE
The platform has been manufactured to bear 100.000 working cycles under heavy charge
conditions (for ex. 10 years, 50 weeks for years, 40 hours for week, 5 cycles for hour).
Before the end of each working cycle, the platform needs to be carely inspected and
overhauled by the manufacturer.
If the utilisation was particulary heavy, the check-up should be done by closer break times.
The recommended inspection's break time is about 1.000 hours; the overhauling break
time is about 7.000 hours.
ORIGINAL SPARE PARTS
Any tampering and/or replacing components with non original (cte) spare parts will
bring about the conditions for warranty cancellation and may seriously jeopardise
operator safety.

exposed;
2. construction characteristics, description, technical data and controls explanation;
3. operation and operating use;
4. routine maintenance which the operator can perform (except where otherwise specified);
5. disposal of materials that make up the platform.
Personnel for whom this manual is intended
This manual is intended for all operators in charge of operating, checking and performing maintenance work
