Safety systems
The safety systems applied to the machine are inevitably subject to wear and to go out of tune. Therefore,
they must be controlled and kept in perfect efciency; also, it is not advisable to evaluate their operational
and safety conditions only on the basis of their functioning.
Such systems do not relieve the operator of the responsibility of carrying out an informed and appropriate
use of the machine.
It is absolutely forbidden to remove, modify or tamper with parts of the self-propelled aerial platform,
which are important for safety and stability.
In particular as batteries have also a stabilizing function, in case of replacement, check that their weight
is not lower than the one indicated in the technical data table of the machine.
Any tampering whatsoever with the main members of the self-propelled aerial platform and associated
safety devices immediately nullies guarantee conditions.
Labels and plates
Potential dangers and instructions regarding the machine are given on
labels and plates; these should therefore be kept in a clearly legible, good
condition.
General instructions - safety
Manual
A suitable working safety is very important in order to avoid serious injuries
for the operator himself and for the other persons, therefore it is compulsory
to carefully read and well-understand this manual to know the exact and
essential instructions for the use of the machine and the maintenance
operations.
This manual is to be considered as an integral part of the machine and it
should always remain on the platform for future reference.
This use manual must be carefully preserved by the user for the whole machine life,
even if the machine is lent, rent or sold
The gures described in this manual DON’T always exactly reproduce the model
described but these are used for a better and easier understanding of the text

EASY UP 5 SPUSE AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
Operator’s requirements
The operator shall:
Rea1. d and well understand all the documentation enclosed to the
machine, be properly trained and instructed in the correct use of the
machine and know the safety rules and devices.
Be physically in good conditions and not make use of dope, alcohol or2.
drugs that could affect the attention, the reaction, the sight and the
hearing.
Give a great importance to safety and refuse to work if you think you3.
are not working under safe conditions.
Well-know the maximum working load.4.
Use suitable accident prevention equipment accordingly with the5.
working conditions and the local rules in force.
During the working keep all the parts of the body inside the guard rails and both feet have to be rmly 6.
rest on the oor surface.
Make always use of an assistant in areas where the sight is obstructed.7.
Always work under highest safe conditions, tidiness and cleaning.8.
Before using the machine check daily the controls and safety devices and make sure they are in9.
perfect working order.
Check that the working area is free from persons, animals or obstacles before making any movement10.
of the machine.
Check that the ground where the machine has to operate is free from holes, bumps, drops, uneven11.
level, obstructions, debris and coverings which could hide possible potholes or others dangers.
Clean the oor surface of the platform and the handrails from oil and grease.12.
Once the work has been nished and when the machine remains unattended, take the key off to 13.
avoid that unauthorized persons can use it.
Commuting platform control panel, always remove the key to avoid an unauthorized use from the14.
ground control panel while personnel is present on the platform. The safety manager must hold a
spare key enabling to use the ground control panel as emergency place. (In case of failure it is
possible to lower the machine).

grade of the Beaufort scale described below.
Without making sure that the platform gate bar is closed.•
While moving, with open box.•
If the working area is not free from obstacles which could cause dangerous conditions.•
While·entering in contact with xed or mobile objects.•
Under bad working conditions.•
In a different way from what it has been described in the instruction manual.•
After modifying or removing the safety devices.•
After fastening it to adjacent structures.•
In addition, it is forbidden to:
Operate or lift the platform when it is placed on the truck loading platform or other vehicle.•

front wheels.
Carry out the movements only if the working area visibility is complete.13.
During movements on slopes or when loading/unloading from the truck through ramps only use the14.
second (medium) speed.
Do not use an horizontal force above 200 N15.
Do not equip the machine with elements (ex. panels) which increase the wind exposure.16.

16
