1.3 General description
1.3.1 Frame and the supports
The frame made of closed steel profile, which will carry:
•the hydraulic supports,
•the ground plates, the ground supporting observation system with the end-
switch
•the wide and inclination angle of the rubber caterpillar tracks can be change
mechanically
•the tower-like of the superstructure
•Hydraulic oil tank with a level indicator with bar
•the explosive engine
•The electric drive 230 V /option/
ATTENTION!
The support end-switch works only if the ground is right secure.
1.3.2 Lifting arm support
The lifting arm support locates on a bogie. The hydraulic engine, which is reinforced by
flange, assures rotating movement of the lifting arm support.
The rotation can be worked out by a self-closing worm-gear drive.
On the lifting arm support locate the following things:
•The self-closing worm-gear drive, which is driven by hydraulically
•The electrical switchboard with a key switch
•Manual hydraulic pump
•Hydraulic control of the elevating machine
•Water-gauge spirit-level for the levelling of the chassis
•Special grease-cup for the stretching the tire chain.
ATTENTION!
The elevating machine may use only if the chassis is set up from the
level within ± 1º
1.3.3 Articulated-telescopic arms
The superstructure consists of articulated-telescopic arms. The hinged arms / upper arm,
bottom arm and cage arm/ are from big strength closed steel section and all of them has
one double-acting hydraulic working cylinder.

1.3.4 Working cage
The serial equipment is the demountable cage.
The working area / basket / is a welded structure from aluminum profiles and plates.
The entering to the cage can be by a turning down aluminum stairs. An
automatically closing door and the two joining eyelet for tightening the safety
belt serve the safe work.
In the cage is located a tool holder tray to ensure proper storage of the
necessary tools.
The elevating machine has a demountable cage, because of the reducing of the
transporting length and it is able to go through narrow opening. In case of the
demountable cage, the superstructure will not operate, only self-propelling movements
are possible. The weight of the aluminum cage is 34 kg.
1.3.5. Controlling of the elevating machine
−The outriggers can be actuated by the manual directional control valve which are
placed on the lifting arm support.
The actuating of the rubber caterpillar tracks can be done by the manual directional
control valve which are placed on the lifting arm support or optionally by the cord
control system (3m).
−The moving of the working basket can be done from the basket control panel which
is before the working basket /cage/ by the joysticks and the turning of the buttons.
1.3.6. Rubber caterpillar track running gear
This is a special bogie is able to assure the self-powered of the machine on the extreme
ground too. The outside wide of the caterpillar track can be changed between 0.78-
0.98m by mechanically.
The drive of the caterpillar tracks is hydraulic one and the movement of those can be
controlled:
-By hand hydraulic arms which are located on the lifting arm support.
In that case, the maximum speed is 1.5 km/h, which one can be controlled
proportionally by the removing of the arms.
-By electrical cable /about 3m /, which cable must be connected to the socket on the
lifting arm support. The required directions can be changed by the turning
switches. In that case, the maximum speed is 0.5 km/h
The caterpillar tracks only can be actuated hydraulically.
Therefore the machine must not be towed in order to avoid the damage of the
hydraulic motors.
