5. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The operator must know and follow all safety instructions. The operator must receive
sufficient instructions in order to be able to use the lift correctly and safely. This Operators
Manual must always be kept in the box on the platform.
ATTENTION!
In order to prevent unpermitted use of the access platform, take the main battery disconnect
key that is located on ground level and the engine ignition key, if fitted, with you after ending
operation.
CAUTION! DANGER!
THE ACCESS PLATFORM IS NOT VOLTAGE INSULATED. NEVER USE IT NEAR ANY
VOLTAGE CARRYING PARTS OR DEVICES. DO NOT DRIVE ANY PART OF THE ACCESS
PLATFORM OR PLATFORM CLOSE TO UNINSULATED CABLES OR OTHER VOLTAGE
CARRYING PARTS OR DEVICES.
WHEN WORKING WITH THE ACCESS PLATFORM THE OPERATOR(S) MUST ALWAYS WEAR
CERTIFIED SAFETY HARNESS WHICH IS PROPERLY CONNECTED TO THE PLATFORM.
5.1. Before starting operation
-All warnings and labels must be read carefully.
-Only persons with min. 18 years of age are allowed to use the access
platform. They must have received sufficient operating instructions.
-Operator must know all the functions of this access platform as well as the
Safe Working Load, loading instructions and safety instructions.
-If there is heavy traffic in the working area, it must be fenced off widely
enough and marked with a fence or with a line. Road traffic regulations must
be followed as well.
-Make sure that there are no bystanders in the working area.
-Do not use faulty access platform. Inform about all faults and defects and
make sure that they are repaired before starting operation.
-Follow check and service instructions and intervals.
-The operator must check this access platform visually at the beginning of
each work shift. This check is necessary in order to make sure that the
machine is all right before making the daily inspection prior to starting
operation.
-If combustion engine is used indoors, make sure that the ventilation is
sufficient.

15
5.2. Overturning hazard
-Safe working load, number of persons and additional load on the platform must
never be exceeded.
-When wind speed is equal to or greater than 12,5 m/s - 28 mph, the use of the
access platform must be discontinued immediately and the platform must be
lowered down to transport position.
-Ensure that the access platform is used on dry, solid, level ground only. The
ground is solid enough if it can carry min. 3 kg/cm2. On softer grounds use extra
support plates under the outriggers (plate dimensions 400 x 400 mm).
-Do not use a ladder, chair, stool, scaffolding or by any other means try to
increase reach capability of this access platform.
-In case the platform has got stuck or jammed, or it is too close to a building or a
wall to be moved, do not try to release the platform by operating the controls. All
persons must leave the platform first (with the help of a rescue service of fire
brigade if necessary), only after that one can try to lower the platform by using
the emergency lowering.
-Do not try to increase the area of the platform or the load. Increasing of the area
exposed to wind will weaken the stability of the access platform.
-Weight must be equally distributed on the platform. Make sure that additional
weight cannot shift on the platform.
-Do not drive on gradients that are steeper than the max. values given for this
access platform and for the slope.
-Never use this access platform as a crane or an elevator. This access platform
is intended for lifting of the max. allowed number of persons and additional load
only.
-Check and make sure that all tyres are in good condition. If the tyres are air filled
make sure that there is correct pressure in the tyres.
-In order to ensure the safe operation of this access platform the manufacturer
has conducted approved tests for the LEGUAN 135 in accordance with the
standard EN280:2013 : static stability test in accordance with paragraph
6.1.4.2.1 and dynamic overload tests in accordance with paragraph 6.1.4.3 of
the EN280:2013.
5.3. Falling hazard
-The operator(s) must always wear certified safety harnesses when operating this
access platform. The harnesses must be connected to the fastening point at
platform mounting bracket.
-Do not stretch or reach out over the handrails. Stand steadily on the platform
floor.
-Keep platform floor clean.
-Always close the platform gate before starting operation.
-Do not drop or throw any material down from platform.
-It is not allowed to go to or step out from the platform when the booms are lifted.

16
5.4. Collision hazard
-Adjust the drive speed so that it is safe with regard to the ground conditions.
-The operator must follow all regulations concerning the use of safety equipment
on the work site.
-Make sure that there are no overhead obstacles on the work site that could
prohibit lifting of the platform, or objects that might cause a collision.
-Do not operate this access platform in the working area of another overhead
lifting device or similar equipment that is moving, unless this lifting device is
secured so that there is no risk of collision.
-Beware of crushing hazard when holding the handrail of the platform in an
eventual collision situation.
-When operating the machine beware of eventual limited visibility and trapping
hazard.
5.5. Electrocution hazard
-This access platform is not voltage insulated nor protected against contact with
voltage carrying parts, or when approaching them.
-Do not touch the machine if it comes in contact with voltage carrying electric line.
-Persons on the platform or at ground level must not touch or operate the
platform before power has been cut off from the electric line.
-During welding repairs, it is not allowed to use any part of this access platform
as earth conductor.
-Do not use this access platform during thunderstorm or high winds.
Leave clearance to electric lines, taking into account movements of platform,
movements of electric line, and high winds and gusts.

5.6. Explosion / fire hazard
-It is not allowed to start the motor/engine in a place where one can smell LPG,
petrol, solvent or other flammable substance.
-Do not fill with fuel when the engine is running.
-Charge the battery only in places with sufficient ventilation, where there is no
open fire or no works which could cause spark emissions (like welding).
In case of fire it is recommended to use a carbon dioxide (CO2) fire extinguisher. A dry
chemical extinguisher can also be used to put out a fire, but in this case the access platform
must be cleaned and checked carefully and thoroughly, because the dry chemicals are
abrasive.
5.7. Daily inspection before starting operation
- ground - controls
- supports - driving area
- horizontal leveling - platform
- emergency stop button - oil leakages
- emergency lowering - working area
ATTENTION! If you note faults or missing equipment on this access platform, do not
put it into operation before the faults have been corrected. Never set the access
platform up in a place where the ground may be too soft. Beware of soft grounds and
potholes in particular.
ATTENTION! If the access platform has been in an accident/has broken down, the
operation must be stopped immediately. The functions of the access platform must be
checked by Leguan service to make sure that they work properly before starting
operation again.
5.8. Using the emergency stop switches
The emergency stop switches are used by pushing them all the way down in emergency
situations, where there is no time to use the normal stopping of the access platform.
Such emergency situations are for instance the hazards or accidents caused to the
operator or to the access platform.
The emergency stop switches stop the engine/electric motor, but the logic of the access
platform remains active. The emergency stop switches at ground level and at platform
(see 6.1.4 and 6.2.2) are always operational. The emergency stop switch of remote-
control can be used in emergency only if the remote-control unit has been selected as
active control station. Emergency stop switch is released by turning it.
