described below indicates a potential risk to the structure of the machine. This
condition could cause dangerous conditions (even injuries and death) to the peo-
ple concerned.
2. OPERATOR’S MANUAL
2.1. DESCRIPTION OF THE MACHINE
The GOLD LIFT machine is a self-propelled hydraulic lifting device, equipped with a
working control car situated at the top of a rotating and extensible articulated structure. The
lifting device GOLD LIFT is meant for PLACING PEOPLE AND THEIR TOOLS AND
MATERIALS IN PLACES HIGHER THAN GROUND LEVEL.
The main control station of all the movements of the lifting device GOLD LIFT is situated on
the control car. Thanks to the main control station the operator can drive the machine, lift or
lower the extensible structure and rotate it towards the left or the right for an overall 300°
angle.
The machine GOLD LIFT is equipped with a ground control station that excludes the main
control station by means of a switch. The ground controls check the movements of the exten-
sible structure and are used in case of emergency to bring the control car back to the ground
when the operator is not able to do it.
The ground emergency controls can be used when doing control checks before starting ope-
rating.
The machine GOLD LIFT is a self-propelled machine able to move easily on any type of
ground, able to overcome big slopes and, seen its contained dimensions, to enter into narrow
places. The control car is the only control location planned by the manufacturer that prevents
the operator from being injured during all the translation operations of the machine. In fact,
the controls have been studied to be used from the said position to have a proper sight of the
involved area.
The travel function can be controlled from the ground position only when the machine has to
pass pass through reduced-height or narrow spaces. In these cases, to allow the machine to
access these spaces, the two-place cage must be removed. The machine must travel only
lengthwise and must be controlled by a specialist operator.
SELF-PROPELLED TRACKED PLATFORM GOLDLIFT 14.70
HINOWA

When controlling the translation of the machine from the control car, take the maximum care
of elements like cornices, terraces, lintels, branches etc. that could come into contact with the
operator.
If the machine translation is controlled from the ground (see the a.m. admitted cases),
remember that the machine must be orientated with the control car part towards the back so
that, in case of a wrong manoeuvre, the operator does not come into contact with the rubber
tracks.
Controlling the travel of the machine from the ground with the cage removed is conside-
red an extraordinary procedure that should be adopted only when the work area cannot be
reached in any other way.
It is absolutely forbidden to do manoeuvres different from the above mentioned ones by con-
trolling translation from the ground as a possible sharp movement of the machine could
crush the operator between itself and the elements present on the manoeuvring area or make
the operator come into contact with the rubber tracks or the platform stabilisers.
After reinstalling the cage, put back the iron caps immediately.
2.1.1 MACHINE IDENTIFICATION PLATE
