2.2 General description of the machine
The Sequani TRACCESS 230 articulated work platform is composed of a frame fixed
using bolts to the tracked carriage. Four hydraulic-operated outrigger feet are fastened
to the chassis to stabilise the machine.. The outriggers are moved by a manually-
activated hydraulic distributor. The rotating turret is fixed onto the chassis, mounted on a
bearing turntable and activated by a hydraulic motor. The turret turns by 360°. The
boom unit is fixed to the turret. This is composed of two articulated booms activated by
an hydraulic cylinder to which a telescopic boom made of 3 elements (one fixed and 2
extendible) is fixed centrally. Furthermore, by means of connecting rods, the hydraulic
circuit allows the articulated booms to move simultaneously. The telescopic boom is
moved by a hydraulic cylinder. An articulated boom (jib) is fixed on the telescopic
element. This is activated by an hydraulic cylinder. The work platform is anchored to the
telescopic boom (jib). This has an hydraulic actuator rotation device. The work platform
is kept horizontal by a hydraulic parallelogram levelling mean. The machine is moved by
proportional electrohydraulic controls. The control position is in the work platform
Another control position is fixed to the base turret, for use in case of emergency. The
source of energy for moving the hydraulic device is supplied by the endothermic engine
of the vehicle via hydraulic pump. The electric power supply to the controls is supplied
by the battery. Steering is by means of rubber tracks started by reducers activated by
hydraulic motors complete of negative brake, which automatically intervenes and blocks
(brakes) the tracked carriage when the hydraulic motors are not powered. Steering is
obtained by adequately dosing the oil flow to the driving motors by means of pendant
control panel equipped with proportional levers. By powering one hydraulic motor in a
direction and the other in the opposite, minimum possible steering radius is obtained.
The following pages describe the controls, functioning modes and the devices present
on the machine.

5 MAINTENANCE

5.1 Foreword
This chapter only described routine maintenance. The operator can only carry out
routine maintenance classified in the maintenance summary table as “O – by the
operator”. The other maintenance activities classified in the maintenance summary table
as “M – by a qualified technician” must be carried out by qualified technical staff and in
compliance with the intervention intervals and the indications given in the manual. It is
mandatory comply with the maintenance described in order to keep the equipment in
perfect working order and to guarantee safe functioning. The execution of the
interventions after the first 100 hours, every three or six months or yearly must be stated
in the relevant section 7 (periodic checks and maintenance) of the Control register
supplied with the machine. The Control register is a document used to record the
replacement of components of the hydraulic plant, the electric plant, structural
mechanisms or elements, safety devices as well as faults of a certain entity and relative
repairs. The Control register is considered an integral part of the machine and must
therefore accompany the same for its entire life span, until final dismantling. The Control
register must be made available for the competent surveillance bodies for a period of
five years from the date of the last recording or until the equipment is put out of service,
which ever occurs first. A document attesting to the execution of the last check must
accompany the equipment wherever it is used.
ATTENTION:
the maintenance operations not included in this chapter must be carried
out exclusively by the After-sales Service or Workshops authorised by
the manufacturer.
The overhead platform operates normally in contact with water, sand, earth etc. Rational
lubrication is necessary, which assumes vital importance not only for the duration of
machine use but also to contain its working cost.
For any clarifications, contact our after-sales service.
