NECESSARY CONDITIONS TO PLATFORM'S LIFE

The platform has been manufactured to bear 100.000 working cycles under heavy charge
conditions (for ex. 10 years, 50 weeks for years, 40 hours for week, 5 cycles for hour).
Before the end of each working cycle, the platform needs to be carely inspected and
overhauled by the manufacturer.
If the utilisation was particulary heavy, the check-up should be done by closer break times.
The recommended inspection's break time is about 1.000 hours; the overhauling break
time is about 7.000 hours.

ORIGINAL SPARE PARTS

Any tampering and/or replacing components with non original (cte) spare parts will
bring about the conditions for warranty cancellation and may seriously jeopardise

Foreseen and unforeseen use

Intended use
The foreseen use is of a machine, DESIGNED SOLELY TO LIFT PERSONNEL, in compliance with
the limits set forth by the technical data.

The maximum speed of rotation allowed is 0.7 m/sec, calculated from the exterior edge of the basket and
with the telescopic assembly fully extended.

The maximum lifting speed is 0.4 m/sec, calculated from the fully closed position to the fully open position of
the jack that operates such movements.

Further information providing the operating limits of the lifting platform is included in the technical data.

ATTENTION
It is forbidden to exceed the limits indicated in the technical data.

DANGER
It is forbidden to use the lifting platform in a different way from which it was foreseen
and designed.

Unauthorised uses
Lifting platform
It is forbidden to:
- lift loads or perform oblique lifts;
- use the lifting platform to push and/or pull objects;
- bring into the basket accessories or pieces of equipment, the chemical-physical characteristics of which classify them
as dangerous (e.g. flammable, toxic, explosive materials, etc.);
- overload the basket in excess of the limits allowed;
- load the basket when it is in an elevated position;
- increase the wind load by fitting sign posts or advertising billboards onto the platform;
- increase the operating height with ladders, pedestals, etc., once the operating position has been reached;

DANGER
If you use the platform observing not allowed procedures, as described by points
above mentioned, the risk of platform’s overturning or its structural breaking with
resulting danger for health’s operator, and specifically his possible wounding or death,
is obviously high.
 Instructions for Use
Section B and Maintenance

Operating sites
It is forbidden to:
- Operate at a distance of less than 5 metres from the suspended electrical cables;
- use it in settings subject to exlosion and/or fire risk;
- operate in the open air when the wind conditions have an intensity in excess of 12.5 m/s (equivalent to
a value of 6 in the Beaufort wind scale);
- operate in the open air in gusty wind conditions;
- operate in the open air when there are storms featuring electrical discharges (thunder and lightning);
- operate in the open air during stormy weather that may produce hail;
- The main slopes which can be achieved from the vehicle positioned in the proper working places are
indicated on the document “MACHINE DIMENSIONS- WORKING AREA” hereafter attached.

Accessories
It is forbidden to:
- use accessories featuring operating and performance-related characteristics that may cause dynamic
stresses in excess of those stated by the manufacturer;
- use accessories connected to independent electrical cables;
Behaviours
Below is a list of behaviours that the design and construction of the lifting platform cannot impede, but
which are not allowed due to the high degree of risk involved:
1. adjusting mechanical, electrical or hydraulic parts of the lifting platform during operation;
2. disassembling mechanical, electrical or hydraulic parts of the lifting platform during operation;
3. operating with the mechanical, electrical and hydraulic protection devices removed and/or
tampered with.

Risks for persons exposed

The dangers caused in the situations described in the table below occur in the following circumstances:
- the person does not respect the safety boundary and enters the dangerous area;
- the operator forgets to delimit the boundary of the dangerous area and to affix the no entry sign
in the dangerous area.

 Instructions for Use
Section B and Maintenance

Safe workplace

Type of workplace
The machine was designed and built for use in the following types of settings:
- in open air places open to the public (e.g. squares, car parks, public roads, etc.);
- private open air places (e.g. yards in front of houses or blocks of flats for maintenance work on roofs,
etc.);
- indoor settings open to the public (e.g. shopping centre entrances, sports centres, inside exhibition
centres, etc.);
- open industrial areas (e.g. maintenance work on infrastructures such as barns, elevated floors, etc.);
- closed industrial settings (e.g. factory premises, hangars, etc.)
- open areas used for worksites (e.g. construction yards).

CTE lifting platforms can also be used:

- inside airports;
- on shipping docks.

Supporting surface
The surface onto which the vehicle is positioned must be compact and not subject to yielding: concrete
and tarred surfaces and compacted ground (worksites) are preferable.
Shoud the tar surface overheat, or the ground not be sufficiently compact, place sturdy wooden planks
and/or steel plates between the ground and the stabiliser to prevent the latter from sinking.

Production areas
When operating inside production areas (worksites and industrial sites), take special care in positioning
the vehicle.
Wherever possible, choose the operating place (or workplace) of the lifting platform also according to the
following suggestions:
- it should be a large enough place to contain the entire structure, so as not to create any dangerous
situations during the operations with the lifting platform arm;
- it should not obstruct the escape routes, emergency exits, pedestrian crossings and throughways
(for vehicles, fork lift trucks, self-propelled operating machines, etc.);
- it should not obstruct the visibility of signs (boards, illuminated signs, etc.);
- it should not obstruct the operating area of other adjacent pieces of equipment (such as travelling
cranes, conveyors, etc.) unless the equipment is not previously disabled for the entire period of use of
the lifting platform.

Placing the machine

The placing of the machine, with respect to the position of the user, should allow the latter to observe the
correct performance of operation and the upkeeping of safety conditions around the operating area.
During this phase, the accessibility of the controls and the visibility of the applicable areas should be checked,
with particular reference to placing, operation and retraction.

Delimitation of the operating area boundary

Before operating the lifting platform, always check first the environmental and visibility conditions, arranging
suitable signals to mark the operating area.
 Instructions for Use
Section B and Maintenance

Safe workplace

The following are especially recommended:

- Barriers
- area boundary tapes
- signs (prohibition, warning, danger, etc....)

Electrical tolerances
The electrical equipment of the lifting platform was designed and built with reference to the standardised
norm EN 60204-1.
The electrical equipment is suitable for use in the surrounding setting and under the following operating
conditions.
Ambient air temperature
The electrical equipment is designed to operate correctly at air temperatures of between -5 °C and +40
°C.
Humidity
Electrical equipment can correctly work under whatever weather condition and whatever
relevant humidity’s degree.

Vibrations and impact

The lifting platform and relative electrical equipment MUST NOT be installed on surfaces that transmit
vibrations and in settings where there is a danger of impact with other mechanical units.

Contaminants
The mechanical parts of the lifting platform, and the relative electrical equipment, are suitably protected
against the penetration of liquids and solids in accordance with the intended use of the lifting platform and of
the use setting of the same.
The various assemblies that make up the lifting platform DO NOT feature any particular protections against
any contaminants, such as: special powders, acids, corrosive gases, salt, etc.
Should the operator detect the presence of the action by a contaminant that could cause the machine to
malfunction, (s)he should contact a CTE service centre immediatly to check the suitability for the use for
which it is momentarily intended.

Ionising and non-ionising radiation

The electrical equipment DOES NOT foresee additional protections against radiation (microwave, ultraviolet
rays, laser rays, X rays).
Should you expect the machine to be exposed continuously to such radiation, additional measures must be
taken to prevent the incorrect operation of the electrical equipment and the accelerated deterioration of the
insulation.
 Instructions for Use
Section B and Maintenance

Safe workplace

Lighting a “normal” setting

Use the loading lifting platform in places with suitable natural or artificial lighting.
DO NOT use the lifting platform in poor lighting conditions (at night, in thick fog or in indoor settings without
any artificial lighting).
Should you be obliged to operate in poorly lit areas, light the area with fittings installed on columns, connected
to power supplies which are separate from the machine.
In this case, do not point the additional light fittings directly into the operator’s eyes. It is preferable to position
them behind the operator in order to light the operating area properly, without causing any glare for the
operator.

Noise risk
Sound pressure in operator’s ear (in cage) LpA = ..76 dBA
Sound power guaranteed in accordance with Directive 2000/14/EC: LWA = ..93 dBA

Section E 3

Moment limiting device (MC2M)

The moment limiting device is made up of a device
located inside the boom (AP1), a double-channel AP1
control unit (MC2M) and four transducers TS1, TS2,
TS3 and TS4 plus two angle sensors EN1 and EN2.
the device installed inside the boom is composed of
two angle transducers which detect the angle of the
boom (AP1).
UM0599
EN1 and EN2 are two Encoders which detect the
turret rotation angle.
The four transducers TS1, TS2, TS3 and TS4,
MC2M
installed on the boom movement cylinder valve,
detect the internal differential pressure during
movement.

The central unit (MC2M) will compare the capacity

of the basket and therefore the real pressure
detected by TS1, TS2, TS3 and TS4, with the
theoretical pressure obtained by the values detected
by AP1, EN1 and EN2 in order to operate in a more UM0249
safe work area.

The platform can be equipped with an auxiliary electrical motor M2. Therefore, it can be used with either the
vehicle’s motor or this auxiliary electrical motor.

The controls are located on the vehicle platform (see section D Controls), on the opposite side of the
stabiliser control panel, and they allow you to use the platform without having to activate the system from the
cab.

The electrical motor, which is independent from the vehicle on which it is installed, must be connected to an
external electrical network (220 Volt), by means of a plug XP2.

It can be used under any conditions; in particular, it is recommended that you use it if:
- there is a malfunction of the vehicle’s motor;
- there is a malfunction of the hydraulic pump which is connected to the vehicle’s motor;
- there is work to be carried out indoors (tunnels, factory premises), to avoid exhaust fumes being discharged
into the closed environment.

Introduction

ATTENTION
Read the following manual carefully before beginning operation.

This section describes the work cycle which, within reason, the lifting platform is expected to perform.

Any special situations and conditions which could arise for the operators, should be dealt with taking into
account and observing the machine’s limits (technical data) and, above all, ensuring that everything is
carried out with the utmost safety for the operators firstly and, then, for the machine too.

Preliminary checks

Before beginning operation with the lifting platform, it is recommended that you carry out a series of checks,
both on the machine and on the area in which the machine will be placed.
In particular, to make work easier you must check that:
- the working area is marked off, indicated with signs and free of obstacles;
- the ground is sufficiently compact; if necessary, everything possible should be done to firm up the
ground (e.g.: increase the stabiliser cylinder support base);
- the safety systems are efficient (see Section E, safety system checks).
If one of these safety systems is damaged or malfunctioning, the platform must not be used;
you must report the fault to the nearest authorised CTE workshop.
- there is sufficient fuel;
- the batteries are in good working condition;
- The connections to the external networks have been carried out correctly;
- the path which the car has to take to reach the work point is free of obstacles.

areas

The machine with manually extendible outriggers can work either with the crossbars extended or
closed, depending on the customer, either on the right side or the left.
Any combination is allowed. Based on the stabilisation combination chosen by the operator, the
system will automatically estimate the corresponding work area depending on the rotation angle of
the turret, maintaining machine configuration always in safety.
However the two right or left crossbars must be extended the same way (symmetrical stabilisation),
in order to obtain maximum performance in the area in which the crossbars will be extended.
If machine stabilisation is not symmetrical (i.e. on one side a beam is open while the other is closed),
it will not be possible to obtain maximum performance and the system will estimate a smaller work
area.

Precautions during use

Always check to see that the weight of your work equipment does not exceed the maximum allowed capacity
of 200 kg, or else 250 kg if foreseen by the machine.
Control that there are no obstacles in the range of action of the lifting platform.
It is recommended to get to know the movement controls well, especially when using the basket for the first
time.
Avoid sudden jerks, both when rotating and moving the basket up and down.
To reach the work position, rotate the column, aim the boom in the right position, lift and then extend until
reaching the desired point.
Do not rotate when at maximum extension. Instead, retract the extendible elements, rotate and then go back
to the desired position.
In case of anomalies while using the platform, or if it can no longer be controlled by the operator, press one
of the emergency buttons from the relative control station. This will block the structure immediately where it
is (see Section N- Emergency manoeuvres).
Before using the lifting platform, check the machine's work diagram.

JIB LUBRIFICATION: to lubrificate the jib extend it completely
MAINTENANCE:
LUBRICATION
The purpose of lubrication is two-fold.
First of all to prevent friction. By reducing contact between metal and metal, friction, noise and
component part wear are reduced.
Secondly, as protection against oxidisation caused by environmental factors.
APPLICATION OF LUBRICANT
To best apply the lubricant:
Fully extend the telescopic sections of the boom and, using a brush, apply a new film of
lubricant over the entire surface of the lower chains which have the job of extending the
telescopic sections.
FREQUENCY OF LUBRICATION
The frequency of lubrication jobs depends on factors such as frequency of operation, type of
lubrication and work environment.
In this sense, regular sight checks should be made.
In normal working conditions however, lubrication frequency should be at least every
1 months or 1000 hours.

CHAIN WEAR CHECK

E
MAINTENANC

PLATFORM CONFIGURATION FOR THE OPERATION:

Configuration needeed

MAINTENANCE:

The chains should be periodically checked and tested to determine any faults
(abnormal wear, corrosion).
The visible part of the chains will also act as a reference for the part inside the
booms which is hard to reach.
This type of check must make sure the chain structure has not been modified
or deformed with respect to original condition, with the formation of cracks, chinks,
evident wear of both the pins and links.
If any faults are found, the chain will have to be changed.
Environmental factors: special environmental factors
(for instance corrosive environments or presence of abrasive materials) can affect
chain life (early wear and breakage due to corrosion stress).
The presence of rust on the chain is a sign of end of chain cycle.
In such cases, it is important to protect the structure by increasing the chain
cleaning and lubricating frequency.

Introduction

In the event of maintenance operations, it is recommended that the operating post be under the control of
an expert and skilled person.

All maintenance operations must be performed with the utmost care and under the personal management of
such a person. The instructions provided in the manual must be observed scrupulously.

DANGER
Should the cases listed occur, this will be considered to be a dangerous situation and
it is the operators’ obligation to suspend work and return the platform to its
transportation mode.

Using the solenoid valves

WARNING
A seal is affixed to the solenoid valves to guarantee that the system is intact.
The absence of these seals is considered to be mishandling and transfers the liability
ascribable to the manufacturer to the staff members to whom the control and use of
the platform have been delegated.
It is therefore necessary to re-affix the seals in an authorised CTE workshop as soon
as the emergency has been solved.
