1. INTRODUCTION.
This is a general manual applicable to all models stated on the cover page. Therefore, the description of the machine and its
components, as well as control and safety systems, may include parts that are not actually available on your machine depending
on model and date of purchase. In order to keep pace with the technical development, AIRO-Tigieffe s.r.l. reserves itself the right to
modify the product and/or the user's manuals as needed and without any obligation to prior updates of already existing manuals.
1.1. Legal mentions.
1.1.1. Handover of the machine.
Deliveries to any member country of the EC (European Union) are always accompanied by the following documents:
▪User's Manual in the native language of the country of use.
▪CE-plate attached to the machine
▪EC Statement of Compliance
▪Warranty certificate
▪Declaration of internal testing
Only for Italy:
▪Instruction for applying to INAIL to register the commissioning of the machine and schedule the first overhaul inspection on
INAIL webpage.
Please note: this manual is an integral part of the machine. The original manual or copy thereof must be available on board of the
machine along with the original reports (or copies thereof) of all periodical tests conducted by the user. In the event of a transfer of
ownership the machine must always be provided with its use and maintenance manual.
1.1.2. Statements of successful commissioning, first installation test, periodical functional tests and
property transfers.
The legal obligations of the owner of the machine vary according to the country of commissioning. Therefore, customers are
recommended to check on the safety procedures applicable in their countries and the Authorities having jurisdiction in their
countries for all work-place-safety-related issues. At the end of this manual contains, you can find a section titled "Control ledger"
that you should use and fill out to properly keep track of all modifications/service cases.
1.1.2.1. Statements of successful commissioning carried out by the first owner.
In ITALY the owner of the Aerial Platform must notify the use of the machine to the local competent INAIL and submit it to
periodical compulsory checks. The first of such checks is performed by the INAIL within sixty days from a request being made. In
the event of such time passing without the inspection being made, the employer can call in the ASL (Local Health Unit) or qualified
public or private services. Subsequent tests are carried out by the already-mentioned parties within thirty days from a request
being made. In the event of such time passing without these tests being made, the employer can call in qualified public or private
services. The checks are on a payment basis and the employer (machine owner) will be charged for them. For these checks, the
territorial inspection boards (ASL/USL or ARPA) and INAIL can be supported by qualified public or private services. The qualified
private institutes acquire the qualification of responsible for the public service and refer directly to the public structure that controls
this function.
To declare the commissioning of the machine in Italy, Send the form that is supplied together with other documents upon machine
delivery, by registered letter with advice of receipt.
The INAIL will assign a serial number when the First Check is performed before completing the “technical identification sheet” on
which it indicates only the details obtained from the already-operating machine or obtainable from the instruction manual. The
“Technical Data Sheet” will form an integral part of the machine.

User’s Manual – A12 JRTD A15 JRTD Series
Page 7
1.1.2.2. Periodical Functional Tests.
Yearly overhauls are compulsory. In Italy, the owners of an Aerial Platform must apply for a periodical check by sending a
registered letter to the local competent inspection board (ASL/USL, or ARPA, or other qualified public or private services) at least
twenty days before the expiry of the year from the last check.
PLEASE NOTE: If a machine without a valid test certificate is moved from one area to another one falling within the jurisdiction of a
different inspection Authority, the owner is to apply for a new test at the new competent Authority in the new area where the
machine will be used.
1.1.2.3. Transfers of ownership.
If the machine is transferred in Italy, the new owner is to notify the ownership of the machine to the local competent Authorities
(ASL/USL, or ARPA, or other qualified public or private services) by supplying a copy of:
▪Statement of compliance issued by the manufacturer;
▪Statements of successful commissioning carried out by the first owner.
1.1.3. Operators training and information.
The employer must ensure that the workers appointed to use the equipment are adequately and specifically trained so they are
able to use the Mobile Elevating Work Platform in a proper and safe way and also avoid the risks caused by other people.
1.2. Tests performed before delivery.
Before being delivered to the market, each platform undergoes the following tests:
▪Braking test
▪Overload test
▪Operating test
1.3. Intended use.
The machine described in this manual is a self-propelled aerial platform intended for lifting persons and materials (equipment and work
materials) in order to carry out maintenance, installation, cleaning, painting, de-painting, sand-blasting, welding operations, etc.
The max. capacity allowed (which varies according to the model –see paragraph “Technical features”) is divided as follows:
▪80 Kg for each person on board;
▪40 Kg for tools and equipment;
▪the remaining load is represented by the materials.
NEVER exceed the maximum capacity as indicated in paragraph "Technical features”. Persons, tools and work materials can be
loaded on the platform only from the initial boarding position (platform lowered). It is absolutely forbidden to load persons, tools and
work materials on the platform when it is not in the boarding position.
Any load must be put inside the cage. Do not lift any load (even if within the maximum capacity) hanging off the platform or lifting
structure.
Do not carry large-sized panels since they increase the resistance to wind force thus causing the machine to overturn.
Do not load anything on the platform while the platform is UP and the machine travels (operators on board are not allowed to pull
wires or ropes, etc...)
An overload controller stops the machine if the load on the platform exceeds the nominal load by approx. 20% (see chapter
"General Use and Operation”) and platform is lifted.
The machine cannot be used in areas where road vehicles operate. Make sure to alert the presence of the platform by means of
suitable signs when the machine is used in public areas.
Do not use the machine to tow trucks or other vehicles.
Any other use different than those for which it was designed must be approved in writing by the manufacturer following a specific
request on the part of the user.

User’s Manual – A12 JRTD A15 JRTD Series
Page 8
Do not use the machine for purposes other than those for which it was designed, except after making a
request and having obtained written permission in this sense from the manufacturer.
1.3.1. Deboarding the platform off the ground.
The risk of deboarding the Aerial Work Platform when the platform is off the ground has not been accounted in our design safety
because the only possible deboarding configuration is the one with the platform completely lowered on ground. For this reason,
boarding or leaving a raised platform is absolutely prohibited.
However, operators do happen to incur certain situations where they need to leave or access the platform in different positions than
the initial boarding one. These situations are commonly referred to as “Deboarding the platform off the ground”.
The risks relative to “boarding a platform off the ground” depend on the configuration of the platform, but also from the risk
assessment analysis carried out by the employer before authorizing any such condition. However, the following circumstances
should always be taken in due account:
▪Site/area characteristics;
▪Use of the machine as an anchoring point for other operators and other applications, which should be prevented and never
be possible for no reasons;
▪Use of the machine at xx% of the its performance to prevent additional stress resulting from specific operations, or flexural
bending of the chassis which may force the platform away from the landing area. In this case, it is recommendable to
perform a few trials and define these limit conditions;
▪Implementation of a special emergency evacuation procedure (for instance having a man on the platform; another one at
the control station on ground, while a third one leaves a raised platform);
▪Administration of extensive training of the persons involved (both operators and passengers);
▪Installation of all implements needed at the point of deboarding to prevent falling of the persons leaving the platform.
This paragraph should not be interpreted as a formal approval by the manufacturer to deboard the platform off-the-ground, which
remains a strictly prohibited action. The Employer is the ultimate person responsible for making any such decision and this
paragraph is merely meant to supply additional informations and help.
1.4. Description of the machine
The machine described in this manual is a Self-Propelled Aerial Work Platform equipped with:
▪A motorized wheeled chassis;
▪A rotating, hydraulic turret;
▪A lifting system operated by means of hydraulic cylinders and joints whose number will change based on machine type;
▪An operator platform (the max. capacity of which varies based on machine type - see chapter "Technical features”).
The chassis is motorised to allow the machine to be moved even with the raised platform (see "Operating instructions”) and has
two rear driving wheels and two front steering idle wheels. The rear wheels are equipped with parking brakes, positive logic type
(when drive controls are released brakes are automatically activated).
The turret rests on a turntable fixed to the chassis and can be oriented (rotated) by 370° non-continuously around the central axle
of the machine by means of irreversible endless screw.
The lifting system, with articulated boom, can be divided into three main structures:
▪The first, with vertical extension, consists of a “double parallelogram” system named “pantograph”;
▪The second is an articulated boom lift with telescopic extension;
▪The third, consists of a terminal boom called "Jib" (the Jib is fixed as a standard, as an option it is rotating of about 180°
totally).
The hydraulic cylinders which move the articulated structure are provided with solenoid valves or safety valves directly flanged on
them. This construction detail allows the keeping of the booms in the same position even if one of the pipes accidentally breaks.
The platform is hinged to one end of the “jib” and can be swivelled by 180° (90° to the right and 90° to the left) by means of a
rotary actuator fitted with over centre valve. The platform has also got guard rails and toe boards of a predefined height (1100
mm /433 in for the guard rails and 150 mm /59 in for the toe boards; in the boarding area, the toe board is 100 mm /39 in high).

User’s Manual – A12 JRTD A15 JRTD Series
Page 9
The platform levelling is automatic and is ensured by mechanical ties and two cylinders in closed circuit. A manual adjustment is
strictly possible by means of a special control on condition that the boom is fully DOWN (closed) and the “Jib” inclination against
the plane ranges between +10° and –70°.
1.5. Operator's stations.
The machine is equipped with two control stations:
▪on the platform for normal operations;
▪and on the tower (or on ground). The latter contains the emergency controls (to lower or stop the machine in case of
emergencies), a key-selector to select the active control panel and to start the machine.

User’s Manual – A12 JRTD A15 JRTD Series
Page 10
1.6. Power supply.
All machines are powered by a diesel engine.
Both the hydraulic and the electric power systems are equipped with all necessary protections (see electric and hydraulic wiring
diagrams attached to this manual).
1.7. Machine life, demolition and decommissioning.
The machine has been designed to last for 10 years in normal operating conditions, if properly used and serviced. Within this
period, the manufacturer must carry out a complete inspection/overhaul.
If disposal of the unit is necessary, comply with current local regulations.
In Italy, the demolition/decommissioning must be notified to the local ASL / USL or ARPA.
The machine is made from metal parts which are easy to be identified (steel for the most parts, and aluminium for the hydraulic
blocks); thus, we can state that the machine is 90% recyclable.
European standards and those transposed by the member countries relating to respect for the environment
and the disposal of wastes envisage heavy administrative and penal fines in case of infringement.
Decommissioning or disposal of the machine should strictly comply with the provisions applicable in the
country of disposal on disposal of hydraulic oils and batteries.

User’s Manual – A12 JRTD A15 JRTD Series

1.8. Identification.
When asking for technical service or spare parts, make sure to have the ID serial number of the machine. You will be asked about
it, so make a note of it and keep it with you. Should this plate (as well as the various stickers applied on the machine) be lost or
illegible, it is to be replaced as soon as possible. In order to identify a machine without a plate or a label, please check the
production number punched underneath the chassis. The exact location of the plate and the number punched on the chassis is
shown on the following label. Please check and copy them here below for your easier convenience in future.

2.3. Vibrations and noise.
Noise tests have been carried out under the most unfavourable conditions to study the effects on the operator. The level of acoustic
pressure weighed (A) at work places does not exceed 70dB(A) for each electric model.
For models with Diesel engine the level of acoustic pressure weighed (A) at work places does not exceed 106dB(A), the level of
acoustic pressure at ground control panel does not exceed 85dB(A), the level of acoustic pressure at platform control panel does
not exceed 78bD(A).
As to vibrations in ordinary working conditions:
▪The average weighted quadratic value in frequency of the acceleration which the upper members have to withstand is less
than 2.5 m/sec² for each of the models to which this manual refers.
▪The average weighted quadratic value in frequency of the acceleration which the upper members have to withstand is less
than 0.5 m/sec² for each of the models to which this manual refers.

3. SAFETY SIGNS.
3.1. Personal protective equipment (PPE).
Always wear personal protective equipment according to current regulations concerning industrial health and safety (in particular,
hard hat and safety shoes are COMPULSORY).
It is the operator or safety manager’s responsibility to choose the personal protective equipment (PPE) depending on the activity to
be carried out. For their correct use and maintenance, refer to the equipment manuals themselves.
The use of safety harness is not compulsory except in certain countries with specific regulations. In Italy, the wearing of safety
harness is mandatory in accordance with the Sole Law on worker safety Dlgs 81/08.
The harness attaches to one of the anchors shown by the labels, as in the following picture.
Fig. 3
3.2. General safety norms.
▪Only adults (18 years old), after carefully reading this manual, are allowed to use the machine. The employer is
responsible for training.
▪The platform is designed to carry persons on board; therefore, compliance with the current local regulations
relevant to this class of machines (see paragraphs 1) must be ensured.
▪The machine is a two-men operation unit. This means at least one man must be on the ground and assigned
to all emergency operations as described in this handbook.
▪Always keep the machine at a safety distance from power lines as indicated in the next chapters.
▪Use the machine according to the capacity values indicated in the technical features section. The identification
plate shows the maximum number of people allowed on the platform, the maximum capacity and the mass
weight of tools and ancillary materials. Never exceed these figures.
▪Do NOT use the platform steelwork or any of its parts for grounding applications while welding on platform.
▪NEVER board/deboard passengers and NEVER load/unload any materials if the platform is not in the initial
boarding position.
▪The owner and/or safety manager are liable and responsible for due maintenance and repair operations to be
carried out strictly by skilled and qualified labours.
