When climbing into the basket, fasten the safety slingings belts immediately to the
appropriate fixing points, before carrying out any manoeuvre. Remember that the safety
slingings belts must be checked and RE‑CERTIFIED PERIODICALLY.

If the pressure of the outriggers on the ground should exceed the pressure accepted on
the ground, the rest surface must be increased by inserting appropriate plates or a sub‑
base of stable material (e.g. wood) between the ground and the outrigger plate. The
interposed plates have to grant a good friction with the underlying ground and with the
outriggers disc. Any possible risk of sliding of the machine as to the ground has to be
removed.

RELIMINARY CHECKS BEFORE STARTING WORK

Carry out the following every day before using the machine:

Check that there are no leaks from the machine’s hydraulic system. If leaks are present
carry out the repairs necessary and restore the hydraulic oil level (See paragraph relative
to maintenance operations).Clean the area using a solvent or a pressurised detergent and
water, taking care to prevent contact with electric parts.

Make sure there is no corrosion and that there are no cracks around welded points.

Check the integrity and correct tensioning of the track belts (See paragraph relative to
the maintenance operations).

Check that there are no broken, damaged or missing components. Check the correct
tightness of the pin retainer screws and nuts or the safety locknuts. Replace, tighten and
adjust according to the instructions of the platform manufacturer before using the
machine.

Eliminate debris that can cause fires or breakage, paying particular attention to the
machine control area and the area around the diesel/petrol engine.

Clean the hand rail, footboards and control levers from any oil residues and debris that
could compromise the execution of manoeuvres in total safety, thus putting the operator
at risk. Check the integrity of the indicators and electric controls on the electric control
board positioned on the cage.

Check the state of preservation of the adhesive plates positioned on the machine so that
they are well visible.

Check that there is enough fuel in the tank, in order to prevent useless stops with relati‑
ve emergency descent.

Check the correct functioning of all safety devices.
