OPERATOR‟S, SAFETY & MAINTENANCE HANDBOOK
8
Operating site
Select a site for the machine from which
the platform will be able to reach the
required work area. A visual inspection of
the operating site should be made before
setting up the machine. Particular attention
should be given to the following items
1. Ground conditions
Ensure that the ground on which the
machine is to operate is capable of
supporting the weight of the machine
(including the weight of the operator plus
tools & materials). Be aware of floors or
coverings (e.g. manhole covers) that may
not withstand point loadings exerted by the
castor wheels.
The PAX 8 machine is fitted with four
stabilizers to improve machine stability.
Ensure that the stabilizer beams and legs
are fully deployed before the work platform
raise. It is essential that each of the four
stabilizer feet are located on firm, solid
ground. Failure to ensure this may result in
machine instability.
2. Ground flatness
This machine must only be operated on flat
(0º chassis inclination) and level surfaces.
The allowable chassis inclination is
indicated when the spirit level bubble is
within the marked limits. All castor wheels
must be in full contact with the ground.
3. Overhead obstructions
Ensure that adequate clearance is
available above and around the platform
before elevation.
Noise and vibration
Noise levels emitted from this machine do
not exceed 70 dB(A).
Limitations
This machine is intended for use
INDOORS ONLY, and must not be used
outdoors as wind forces may make it
unstable.
This machine has been tested for
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
however, operation near to high powered
radio transmission apparatus (e.g. radar,
antennae) or within strong electrical and/or
magnetic fields may affect some features
of this product.
