CHAP. 1 GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
1.1 INTRODUCTION
"Ragno" are aerial access platforms having the best facilities for internal
positioning and working and for external applications, where entrance, slope or
path are an impossible obstacle for more conventional machines.
One of the "Ragno" peculiarities is the stabilizing-legs’ possibility to be rotated
and articulated independently, which gives unprecedented versatility when setting
up in confined spaces and on inclines.
"Ragno" have standard dual power: no-noise thermic power pack for robust
external working and electric motor(s) for quiet and fume-free indoor operations.
This platform is available in rubber-tracked crawler version particularly fit for
irregular grounds, being capable of climbing steps or steep slopes.
The platform is not electrically isolated but it is being projected to operate outside.
1.2 DESCRIPTION
"Ragno" unit mainly consists of a frame with 4 articulated stabilizing legs, and
supporting the turntable, slewing on a ball bearing ring.
Steel made multi-telescopic boom is hinged to the turntable and it supports the
aerial cage, with an hydraulically articulating jib. All movements are actuated by
hydraulic cylinders, or hydraulic motors
Unit is mounted on rubber tracks, completely integrated with the supporting frame.
Two power packs are mounted on the Ragno : el.motor 220V and no-noise diesel
engine, all driving the platform movements alternatively and both source are able to the
boom mouvements and travelling.
The machine has two control panel, one on the round, and one in the cage and are
interlocked; it’s possible to use only one.
The ground control panel allows the travelling and stabilizer positioning, and the
boom mouvements generally used for the emergency operations.

1.5 TRANSPORT
"Ragno" platform is authorized to road running only under particular conditions
(see par.) and, therefore, it must be transported by lorry.
"Ragno" loading\unloading is possible in different ways: by using their stabilizing-
legs, according to the directions of this manual (see chap. 3.1), hoisted by a crane,
for loading\unloading or for work positioning. For this purpose, hooking eyebolts
are placed on the top of stabilizing-legs.
According to lorry's characteristics, "Ragno" can be positioned on the bed with the
boom over the driver's cab or towards the rear side.
It is possible to arrange a lorry for use of the "Ragno" as a normal truck-mounted
platform: 4 eyebolts can be welded on the lorry bed and fastened to the "Ragno"
supports by means of 20M turnbuckles.
In case of a normal lorry, it is better to fix front and rear wheels or tracks, to fix the
boom with a textile chord around it and fixed on the winch sides of the lorry bed.

•The above mentioned pictograms and other stickers are important;
even just a not-readable or missing one can cause serious consequences
•Every day be sure that all stickers are readable, clean them regularly and
substitute them with new ones if necessary
•If an element of the machine which requires a sticker is subsitituted, put the
new one after the substitution.

CHAP. 2 SAFETY DIRECTIONS
2.1 SCOPE
In accordance with European Standard "Machine Directive", this operational and
maintenance manual :
gives the operators all necessary information for a correct use of the platform
points out hazards arising from an use not expressely foreseen by the
manufacturer and, also, hazards existing even with a correct use of the
platform.
gives information about the safety devices mounted on the platform and
directions for their check-up
allows fast location of an eventual fault and gives directions for prompt
intervention
gives directions for recovery in emergency
gives a calendar of routine maintenance interventions
gives a list of reccomanded spare parts
gives a list of the workshops authorized for interventions on the platform
gives a check up schedule in the manufacturer or authorised sites
This manual must be read by the operators before using the platform and it must
accompany the platform in case of a change of property
The safety instructions contained in this chapter refer to the most frequent risks only
and are not to be considered exhaustive. The machine can not operate in particular
situations sites: i.e. inflammable vapors, not unbreakable or toxic materials, free
flames or pressure water, scarce light or high noise, etc.
It is recommendable to train operators with a short course by the Manufacturer so
that than they can train the following new operators.
If the machine pass to another owner, this manual must be supplied to the new
owner because it is part of the machine.

2.2 SPECIAL DIRECTIONS
Although it is specifically designed for personnel hoisting and aerial work, platform
can be used exclusively by trained operators, working in conformity with general
safety standards and following specific instructions of this manual
read
carefully the
directions
for use and
maintenance
Fig. 2.1
During sloping transfer, keep the cage towards the slope by keeping away from scarps,
landslide zones, deep holes and study the way considering the necessary steering radius.
Use the transfer controls, away from the base machine, by using the belt.
In cold temperatures, start the engine and let the oil warming for 5 min before the
first manoeuvres which need slow speed.
