INTRODUCTION

The operator of the platform being the only element of the machine who can think and
reason, his responsibility is not reduced by the addition of safety devices. Every over-
indulgence in easiness reducing concentration and attention in using these devices is
absolutely forbidden.
Safety devices are intended to help, not to supervise operations.
Safety devices can be mechanic, electronic, or both, and they are for this reason subject to
breakdowns and improper use.
The operator is the sole person responsible for his own safety and for the safety of by-
standards: he must act as a professional, scrupulously following all safety standards.

ALWAYS KEEP IN MIND: THE NON-OBSERVANCE OF EVEN JUST ONE

SAFETY STANDARD CAN CAUSE ACCIDENTS TO PERSONS, THINGS OR TO
THE MACHINE.

The operator should make sure that every person he is working with is aware of dangers
related to the functioning of the platform and that, therefore, is properly trained.
At any time, the operator should be aware of his own responsibility for the safety of his work-
mates, for the safety of the machine and of everything surrounding it.

MUM E 25C AO. * Cap. 2.2 *

The operator should always check that the platform is properly stabilised; he should mind to
the wind, to the movements of the arm and to every unusual thing, even the one which would
be not remarked by a less careful person.

IT IS COMPULSORY TO LEARN AND TO FOLLOW ALL SAFETY STANDARDS.

FOR THIS REASON, IT IS ESSENTIAL TO DEEPLY UNDERSTAND THIS
MANUAL BEFORE USING THE PLATFORM. AT THE DELIVERY OF THE
MACHINE, INSTRUCTIONS NECESSARY TO ITS USE WERE SUPPLIED TO THE
BUYER; IN CASE OF HIRE OR TRANSFER, THE TRANSFEROR MUST GIVE
THESE INSTRUCTIONS TO THE NEW USER.

SAFETY STANDARDS

FOR SAFETY PURPOSES, IT IS ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL TO ALWAYS CARRY

OUT THE FOLLOWING OPERATIONS:

 Carefully follow the user’s instruction in chronological order.

 It is absolutely forbidden to use the equipment with weights exceeding the ones indicated
on the machine and in this document and in a way different from what indicated on the
machine and in this document.
 Read the content of all the plates put on the equipment and in the maintenance and use
manuals of the components of the same.
 The machine must be operated by at least two persons, one of them being a skilled worker
perfectly knowing the use of the machine and who has to stay on the ground.
 Before installing this equipment, stabilise it with the help of stabilisers equipped with
anchor plates; these stabilisers must necessarily rest on a solid ground. If necessary, use
boards to arrange the thrusts on a big enough area with regard to the characteristics of the
ground. These boards must be of a material suitable to the stabilisers’ thrust, they must be
thick enough and tried before use without workers on the machine which has to be at the
maximum straddle, with the basket near the ground, and with a weight equal to the
maximum allowed loading capacity.
 If the ground slopes, make sure that the inclination does not exceed 3°. A difference in
level due to horizontal steps is not to be considered a slope.
 The maximum deviation of the thrust bearing plane from the horizontal line must not
exceed 1°.
 Make sure that the platform never rests on other structures, whether fixed or moving.
 Keep in mind that operations to reach the working spot must be carried out by the operator
on the platform. As a matter of fact, GROUND OPERATION IS ALLOWED IN CASE
OF EMERGENCY ONLY since, from ground, it is impossible to correctly estimate any
interference, obstacle, real dynamic of basket movements, etc.
 Make sure there are no electric lines.
 If the platform is used on busy roads , it is compulsory to signal the presence of such
platform by both the appropriate ground signals and the winking light and to follow traffic
regulations in force.
 When entering into the basket, safety belts must be immediately fastened to the special
connections and entry protections must be closed; make sure they are properly locked.

MUM E 25C AO. * Cap. 2.3 *

 All workers should wear the safety helmet, in accordance with the law. Do not drop any
material from the basket or from top. For special works (pruning, painting, etc.) provide for
necessary protections and measures for the safeguard of persons, of surrounding things and
of the machine itself. It is forbidden to use working tools which are not in compliance with
regulations in force.
 It is absolutely forbidden to insert tools, hands, fingers, etc. within the holes on the
telescopic arms and in places where there are dangers arising from interference, cutting and
crushing, etc.

WHILE MOVING:

 Drive with caution and avoid high speeds.

 Check if the chosen road is suitable to the equipment dimensions.
 Check if tyres show wear and tear and if inflating pressure is correct (when tyres are cold).
 Put on the brake when the machine is parked on a sloping road, and if necessary, lock the
wheels with wedges.

BEFORE GOING UP:

 Carry out daily inspections as indicated in chapter «Maintenance».

 Wear safety helmets.
 Put on the locking device for turret hydraulic distributor levers.
 Fasten safety belts.
 Close entry protections.
 Once again, make sure that all controls are in working order and fix the working material
properly, so that it cannot move or create dangers.
 Make sure that all operators are aware of use and maintenance provisions.

WHEN RAISED

 While moving, mind to arm travels; during rotation, lifting, lowering , march , etc., mind
to any possible obstacle.
 Keep a minimum distance of at least 5 m (five metres) from electric lines and pylons and
follow current regulations on minimum distances.
 Avoid any collision of basket or arms with the truck cabin, stabilisers or with other parts
of the machine, with fixed (buildings) or moving (vehicles, cranes, etc.) obstacles.
 Do not stand under the working area of the equipment, in particular under arms and basket.
 Use the equipment for vertical movements only, never perform any throwing or thrusting
towards any direction.
 Keep your hands far from joints or openings.

AT THE END OF WORK

 Make sure that the structure and the operator-holding basket are in non-working position
and that stabilisers have completely come back.

High quality steel structure strongly fixed onto the truck’s chassis equipped with no. 4
stabilising supports. On the frame, the thrust bearing support casing is present.
The frame has a walking floor in anti-slip aluminium and with a ladder to access the floor,
near the basket.

ARM HOLDING TURRET

In high quality steel sheet, bent with presses, electrowelded and installed onto a base bearing
with large dimensions. It is activated by a hydraulic motor with a reduction gear and a laminar
parking brake usually closed with an automatic opening. Consequently, it is possible to rotate
the structure by 700°.

OPERATING ARM

It is made of a joint turret and of a telescopic arm. The turret operation which is controlled by
hydraulic cylinders makes it possible to carry out basket vertical movements. The arm is
telescopically operated and has a hydraulic opening. The opening and closing movements are
carried out on plastic material guides with an extremely low rubbing rate. The arm has an
operating outreach going from -20° up to +70° (degrees) in comparison with the horizontal
level; it is articulated in such a way as to exceed middling obstacles between the platform and
its working area.

OPERATOR-HOLDING BASKET

The structure is made of electrically welded tubular aluminium material, equipped with a side
opening for access, protected with bars. The basket has the following sizes : mm
1800x800x1100 h.; we can provide an articulated joint to ensure rotation (90° right + 90° left)
hydraulically commanded, so that you can achieve a perfect alignment to the working side.

BASKET BALANCING

Hydraulic pantograph system with the possibility to correct the horizontal condition.

CONTROLS

Stabilisation: hydraulic distributors for the independent manoeuvre of the stabilisers situated
under the walking floor.
Superstructure: electro-hydraulic controls in double location on the rotating turret. They are
represented by highly sensitive hydraulic distributors with special levers against accidental
operation.

functioning of controls and of safety devices.

1) Position the truck in the most suitable position to reach working place and carefully check
the solidity of the ground on which you are going to stabilise. Mind to possible drains or
other sinking points which cannot be seen at a hasty examination.
2) When using the aerial working platform, position motor running at 1000 revolutions per
minute approx. Put the parking brake. Put the p.t.o. in the truck gear change through the
control in the cabin. During p.t.o. engagement and release, depress clutch pedal. P.t.o.
engagement is indicated by the special warning light on the dashboard. NEVER
TRAVEL WITH P.T.O. ENGAGED ! (IN ORDER TO PREVENT DAMAGES).
3) Stabilisation. Stabilisers’ controls are hydraulic distributors. By operating these controls,
lifting or lowering of each one of the 4 supports is activated. For hydraulic feeding of
these distributors, it is essential that the arm is in non-working position. Perform
stabilisation in such a way that the wheels are a little far from the ground so that the
frame is as much horizontal as possible (MAX. inclination allowed for use: 1°). As
explained before, if all stabilisers are not fixed to the ground, it is impossible to work with
the basket-holding arm.
4) Superstructure controls. Superstructure feeding is possible if the machine is properly
fixed. Superstructure controls are in two working places: on the working basket (main
working place) and on the turning turret (emergency auxiliary working place). For type,
functioning and more information, see «CONTROLS AND DRIVES». The first
operation to be carried out in order to open the working arm is to start the BAR-LIFTING
movement. This movement releases the arm from the support on the frame, putting the
deviator into operation. This deviator prevents stabilisers from entering into function.
During rotation, remember that the machine can perform a total turn of 700°, then an
automatic locking device enters into function.
If the locking device prevents you from reaching the required working place, it is sufficient
to perform a complete turn towards the opposite direction.
5) Closing of the machine. Obviously, manoeuvres to non-working position are the contrary
execution of what formerly said. To explain more clearly, we summarise the right
sequence:
 BAR LOWERING AND ITS POSITIONING ON SUPPORT
 TELESCOPIC ARM CLOSING
 STABILIZERS RETRACTING (REMEMBER THAT THIS OPERATION IS POSSIBLE
ONLY IF THE ARM RESTS ON THE SUPPORT)
 VISUAL INSPECTION OF STABILIZERS RETRACTING AND OF COMPLETE
NON-WORKING POSITION OF THE MACHINE AND INSPECTION OF WARNING
LIGHTS IN THE TRUCK CABIN TO CHECK PROPER CLOSING
 DISENGAGE P.T.O. AND DISCONNECT PARKING BRAKE

MUM E 25C AO. * Cap. 3.7 *

MACHINE CLOSING UNDER EMERGENCY CONDITIONS

AFTER AN EMERGENCY STOP, BEFORE PUTTING THE MACHINE INTO

OPERATION AGAIN, MAKE SURE THAT THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN SOLVED.

If a failure or breakdown in the hydraulic feeding system of the equipment occurs, it is

possible to close the arm by using a hand pump (This procedure requires the intervention of
the operator on the ground as well as removal of safety lead seals). Emergency electric valve
allows this movement only if the hand brake has been put on hand if there is tension in the
dashboard; it is also necessary to work with the hand pump and activate control distributors
while performing ARM RETRACTING and, afterwards, ARM LOWERING and BAR
LOWERING.
In case of an electric breakdown, or if emergency has been called from the basket and the
operator cannot work, operate as follows:

Close emergency electric valve discharging control (EVEM), located in front, under the
frame by means of the tap sealed with lead which is duly indicated with a suitable plate.
With both engine and pump on, carry out the wished operation.
In case of a contemporaneous failure of hydraulic and power supply, carry out the above
mentioned operations at the same time.
Work on the hand pump (PM) located on the turning turret e and move levers of
movement distributor (DTO): ARM RETRACTING and, afterwards, ARM
LOWERING and BAR LOWERING.
To activate the basket balancing and rotation in emergency condition, it is necessary to
remove the aluminium panel on the rotating turret so as to reach the solenoid valves. By
operating with the hand pump, manually excite the solenoid valve (Pos. 3) and solenoid
valve (Pos. 4-5-6-7) at the same time according to the instructions of picture 060.

WARNING

AT THE END OF EMERGENCY OPERATION, BRING ELECTRIC VALVE

LOAD LIMITING DEVICE

Load limiting device with double triggering threshold: The first one at approx. 220 kg
(max. load +10%) with activation of the single sound alarm and the second one at
approx. 280 kg (max. load +40%) with lock of the lifting movements of both arms and
lock of the second arm descent. To close the machine in locked condition it is necessary
for a third authorised person on the ground to intervene on the controls protected by a
key closure.

This device is installed upon request of the customer in case of local rule problems and
is not required by the project of the European standard PR EN 280 (according to which
the SO.CA.GE. FASSI platforms have been EC certified), because the complete
reliability of these devices has not still been ascertained at European level. For this
reason the load-limiting device must be considered an auxiliary mean for the operator
and not an active safety system. This means that the not overcoming of the load on the
basket remains a responsibility of the machine driver.

NOTE: The control system of the max. load on the platform does not free the
operator from carefully checking that the weight of the equipment or of the
material to be loaded to be used for the maintenance and the necessary works is
not higher than the max. material load admitted for the various platform use
conditions.

CONTROLS AND DRIVES

The position here indicated refer to pictures, to hydraulic and electrical system diagrams.

STABILIZATION

Stabiliser controls are located under the walking platform and are made up of four double
acting hydraulic distributors. Perform lowering and climbing of stabilisers by working these
distributors. For working arm opening, it is essential that all stabilisers are fixed to the
ground. Once the arm has been lifted from its support on the frame, it is impossible to move
stabilisers.
During machine closing, completely lower bars and, afterwards, the telescopic arm.

(!) WARNING (!)

The movements of “lifting-and-lowering stabilisers” have to be done symmetrically. That
means to move the stabilisers alltogether, at the same time. Otherwise, if they are moved
singularly, than they have to be lifted or lowered alternatively, in graduation all four
stabilisers. Better is if they are moved from two to two.
We underline the following:
if the stabilisers are operated too much unbalanced, the frame, the basis structure of the
platform and the stabilisers themselves can suffer for the effort.
DO NEVER OPERATE THE PLATFORM AS HERE FOLLOWING INDICATED:
NEVER LIFTING OR LOWERING COMPLETELY AND SEPARATELY ONE,
TWO, OR THREE STABILISERS.

INCLINOMETER

It is a warning device which turns the truck horn on to indicate that the base inclination has
increased in comparison to the starting regular working condition (1°9 up to 3° approx.,
caused by sinking, ground under stabilisers, cylinder locking valves, etc.).
If this situation occurs, it is necessary to immediately retract the telescopic arm, to lower bars
and basket-holding arm, working at a reduced speed and avoiding any shock until the basket
is brought to the ground. By working from the emergency position on the turret, close PLE
superstructure, look for the reason of this extreme inclination which caused the alarm. If the
machine is responsible for this extreme inclination, apply to authorised service shops before
starting to use the platform again.

NOTE EVERY WEEK, CHECK THE EFFICIENCY OF THIS DEVICE BY

STABILIZING THE BASE WITH AN INCLINATION OF 3° AND BY
CONTROLLING SUPERSTRUCTURE OPENING: THE ALARM
INDICATED ABOVE SHUOLD IMMEDIATELY OCCUR.
IN CASE OF NON-FUNCTIONING APPLY TO AUTHORIZED

FOREWORD

It is of the utmost importance that this equipment is washed with water cleaning machine as to remove
all polluting elements which can damage materials and impair good functioning.
After washing, lubricate all components as to properly restore sliding conditions and check if there are
elements out of shape or which show wear. If so, it is compulsory to apply to an authorised service shop
to replace these elements.
For lubricating material refer to what indicated in this manual.
It is essential to take into account that even safety devices can wear and that one has to always check if
they are clean, lubricated and unimpaired. Under normal working conditions cleaning and lubricating
operations as described above can be carried out once a month. This interval has to be reduced if there is
a situation of use or an environment harder than normal.
It is impossible to describe all these situations, what follows is therefore a list of some examples:
 Machine setting into operation again after a long period of stoppage.
 Extremely high or extremely low environmental temperatures with subsequent fast lubricant
deterioration or extreme hardening.
 Painting and sand blasting works during which the material tends to enter into the friction sliding
guides and to combine with grease thus creating a mixture which is no more a lubricant but becomes
an abrasive substance wearing out the components of the machine and locking the sliding guides.
We rely on your conscientiousness in tracing down, in relation to the ways in which the machine is used,
when and how to perform control and maintenance absolutely necessary to the perfect functioning and
good state of preservation of safety devices and of the machine in general.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAINTENANCE, INSPECTION AND ADJUSTING PROCEDURES ON
THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM

As far as the type of oil indicated into the general maintenance sheet is concerned, oil into the electric
system has to be replaced every 1500 hours of max. work and, anyway, at least once a year.
Warning. Do not discharge oil on the ground.
Make sure that the oil does not flow on the muffler, electric circuit, etc.
Exhaust oil has to be disposed of in compliance with current laws and regulations on waste disposal.
Filter cartridges of the hydraulic system has to be replaced every 100 hours of work (at the beginning),
and then every 300 hours of work..
In case of a long stoppage of the machine, intervals for oil and filter replacing have to be reduced
accordingly.
Every 3 months check functioning of locking valves on cylinders, calibration values on max. pressure
valves and calibration values on the various services control thrust meters, by operating in the following
way:

A) Inspection of functioning of locking valves controlled by stabilisers

 Fix stabilisers to the ground
 Depress clutch pedal, as to eliminate hydraulic delivery of the pump coupled to p.t.o..
 Keep the truck turned on as to continue to electrically feed the controls.
 Move lifting control levers and make sure that they do not move.

B) Inspection of functioning of locking valves on superstructure cylinders

 Partially lift the arms with maximum allowed load in the basket
 Depress clutch pedal (as indicated in point A)
 Work the related controls and make sure that cylinder do not move.

MUM E 25C AO. * Cap. 4.10 *

CONNECTION AND HOSES

During common maintenance, it is necessary to inspect all the connections of the machine. During
adjusting and mounting, be careful as not to twist hoses, because this causes great loss of resistance and
subsequent break-down hazard. It is necessary to often check the efficiency of these hoses and avoid their
lying under the sun when the machine is turned off.
To replace any of these hoses, operate in the following way:

1) Turn the truck motor off.

2) Operate, many times, control levers (motor turned off) in order to eliminate pressure within the
circuits.
3) If these hoses are under the tank, a suction phenomenon by discharge filters could occur; therefore, if
necessary, disconnect hoses connected to return filters.
4) If you have to replace a tank suction hose, it is necessary to close the tank.
5) Always proceed very carefully while removing the part to be replaced.
6) After having replaced the required parts, eliminate air which has entered into the circuit by moving
the various cylinders at end stroke.

REPAIRS TO HYDRAULIC SYSTEM CONCERN ONLY REPLACING OF HOSES.

REPLACING OF CYLINDER GASKETS, OVERHAUL OF DISTRIBUTORS, OF PUMPS, OF
VALVES, ETC. HAVE TO BE CARRIED OUT BY OUR TRAINED WORKERS.

MUM E 25C AO. * Cap. 4.11 *

SYSTEM EMPTYING AND TANK REFILLING

If it is necessary to empty the equipment, you have to completely remove used oil as not to mix it with
new oil. Intake must be carried out starting from the equipment’s lowest part; intake should be carried out
when oil is hot.
The oil for refilling the equipment should be poured into the tank through a 25 micron filter.
Oil must be clean and devoid of any foreign substance which could cause anomalies and early wears to
the equipment; moreover, oil must correspond to specifications indicated.

PROCEDURE TO BE FOLLOWED IN CASE OF ANY BREAKDOWN TO ONE OF THE

PUMPS OR TO ONE OF THE MOTORS

Under these conditions there is a risk of polluting the whole system. As a matter of fact, a breakdown in
this equipment is always characterised by quite an abrasive dust which can cause serious damages to the
remaining systems. You have to release tank oil, wash and clean: valves, users, hoses and tank.
Moreover, it is necessary to check if cylinders show wear.
Replace all the filters and fit provisional 25 micron filters on each return hose.
Let the equipment work for 40/50 hours approx. before removing provisional filters and refilling tank
with new oil.
As everybody knows, hydraulic system pollution can cause serious damages, even worst than the ones
caused by heavy weights. It is essential to control pollution, keeping in mind that hydraulic oil can be also
polluted by:

1) Atmospheric humidity
2) Other polluting substances such as dust, etc.

Both these polluting agents enter into the drum through the cap. If oil drums are stored vertically, with the
cap at the top, because of thermal expansion, oil increases in volume, during warm periods.
On the contrary, as temperature decreases, oil decreases in volume and the drum acts like a pump sucking
in air through the cap.
This air is always polluted by solid substances and by humidity. To prevent this inconvenient, we suggest
to horizontally store drums, with the cap at the lowest position. In this way, it is impossible that a suction
from outside occurs. Before opening the drum, it is necessary to clean the cap to prevent oil from
dragging along polluting substances into the tank.
As already explained, oil should be filtered with 25 micron. The tank filling mouth should be left open for
the lapse of time necessary to the filling. Mouth and cap should be cleaned with scrap of unfraying cloth.

OPENING CABLES

The documentation contained in this chapter is composed of

no. 4 pages, this one included.

MUM E 25C AO. * Cap. 7.1 *

LUBRICATION , MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION OF CABLES

Inspecting and replacing procedures according to ISO 4309 norms.

Once a month, lubricate cables with BRILUBE 30 (British Ropes - BRINDON).
Thin film lubricant with great penetration and resistance to corrosion properties.
For frequent use under hard working conditions, it reduces sediments which carry dangerous
abrasive particles.
Brilube 30 is recommended for working in the open when main cause of cable wearing is
corrosion.
Keep in mind that breaks are often difficult to trace because the extremities of a broken rope
stay at their original position and do not stand out of the cable surface.
To see these breaks, it is necessary to remove grease which covers the cable. It could be
useful to scrape a peace of softwood on the cable and, if possible, to manually bend the cable
as to lift rope extremities up so that they can be easily seen.

WEAR
Strong wear and tear of cables can cause breaks, and a cable showing wear behind a certain
extent, should be considered a broken cable and should be replaced as indicated in the
previous chart.
This limit is reached when the rope diameter appears to be half the original diameter.
Anyway, in case of extreme wear of cables, we suggest to carry out periodic cable inspection
more frequently.

CORROSION
Like wear and tear, corrosion too can cause cable breakage, but, reduction in diameter being
equal, corrosion is to be considered a kind of deterioration much more dangerous than wear
and tear. For this reason, the same prescriptions indicted in the above paragraph are
applicable, only more caution is required.
Inner cable corrosion can be traced by a reduction in diameter.

We suggest you to check, from time to time, the inner part of cables in order to trace every
possible wear due to corrosion (see pictures in the following pages).

OTHER DECAY SIGNS

Irrespective of the above described evaluations, a cable should be replaced:
 when its total diameter has decreased by 10% in comparison to original diameter, even if
this reduction occurs in one single point
 when a wobbler has completely broken, or when it has been damaged in such a way that its
section reduces by 40% at a certain point
 when the cable shows bucklings, torsions, permanent bendings caused by damages or by
having laid a sharp corner on it
 when the core comes out of the cable, even if in one single point
 when, even if the cable is under stress, one or more wobbler seem to be loosen or
protruding
