6.5 EMERGENCY OPERATIONS FOR THE AERIAL PART
The machine was designed considering possible emergency situations such as mechanical
and electrical breakdowns, sudden operator illness etc. In all of these cases the machine can
be operated both from the basket and from the ground so as to bring it back to the transport
configuration or however in such a way as to rescue the occupant/occupants from the basket.
These operations are described below.
Personnel must be present on the ground at all times during platform operation.
The operations described below must be performed in SEQUENCE, starting from the first
and then continuing with the following ones until the last only if the emergency opera‑
tion being performed has not been successful.
6.5.1 EMERGENCY DESCENT CONTROLLED FROM THE BASKET
The basket emergency descent procedure can be controlled from the basket itself only if the
electrical system of the machine is working; proceed as follows:
‑
hold button 4 on the remote control (paragraph 2.1.1 Control position);
‑ check the control through icon 8 on the display (paragraph 4.1.1.1 Display main screen);
‑ use the joystick corresponding to the arm being folded until reaching the required height
(paragraph 4.2.1 Joystick);
‑ release button 4.
As descent is due to gravity, the platform and basket cannot be rotated and the telescopic
arm cannot be extended or retracted, therefore the basket is lowered vertically at a distance
from the centre of rotation that depends on the configuration of the machine at the time
when the emergency situation occurred.
If a joystick corresponding to a movement without emergency descent is activated, an error
icon will be shown on the display:
The message disappears when the joystick is released.
