THE SAFETY OF THE PLATFORM IS AT RISK.
THE SITE
- Good personal control of the lifting platform’s operating area reduces the risk of accidents:
• The floor must not be unnecessarily broken or cluttered,
• No excessive slopes,
• Controlled pedestrian traffic, etc.
THE OPERATOR
- Only qualified, authorized personnel can use the platform. This authorization is given in writing by the appropriate person in the
establishment with respect to the use of platform and must be carried permanently by the operator.
On the basis of experience, there are a number of possible situations in which operating the platform is contra-indicated.
Such foreseeable abnormal uses, the main ones being listed below, are strictly forbidden.
- The foreseeable abnormal behaviour resulting from ordinary neglect, but does not result from any wish to put the
machinery to any improper use.
The reflex reactions of a person in the event of a malfunction, incident, fault, etc. during operation of the platform.
- Behaviour resulting from application of the “principle of least action” when performing a task.
- For certain machines, the foreseeable behaviour of such persons as : apprentices, teenagers, handicapped persons,
trainees tempted to drive a platform, operator tempted to operate a truck to win a bet, in competition or for their own
personal experience.
- The person in charge of the equipment must take these criteria into account when assessing whether or not a person
will make a suitable driver.
OBTAIN INFORMATION ON :
- How to behave when there is a fire.
- The location of the nearest first aid kit and fire extinguisher.
- The emergency telephone numbers for calling (the doctors, ambulance, hospital and fire brigade).
THE PLATFORM
A - THE PLATFORM’S SUITABILITY FOR US
- MANITOU has ensured that this platform is suitable for use under the standard operating conditions defined in this operator’s manual,
with an overload test coefficient of 1,25 and an operational test coefficient of 1,1, as stipulated in standardised norm EN 280 for MPLPs
(Mobile Personnel Lifting Platforms).
Before commissioning, the company manager must make sure that the platform is appropriate for the work to be done, and perform
certain tests (in accordance with current legislation).
B - ADAPTATING THE PLATFORM TO THE USUAL ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- In addition to series equipment mounted on your platform, many options are available, such as : flashing light, working headlight, etc.
Contact your dealer.
- Take into account climatic and atmospheric conditions of the site of utilisation.

G - STOPPING THE PLATFORM
SAFETY NOTICE
- Never leave the ignition key in the platform during the operator’s absence.
- Make sure that the platform is not stopped in any position that will interfere with the traffic flow and at less than one meter from the
track of a railway.
- In the event of prolonged parking on a site, protect the platform from bad weather, particularly from frost (check the level of antifreeze),
close and lock all the platform accesses (cowls…).
- Park the lifting platform on a flat surface or on a slight slope of less than 10%.
INSTRUCTIONS
PLATFORMS WITH IC ENGINES
- Before stopping the platform after a long working period, leave the I.C. engine idling for a few moments, to allow the coolant liquid and
oil to lower the temperature of the I.C. engine and transmission.
Do not forget this precaution, in the event of frequent stops or warm stalling of the I.C. engine, or else the temperature of
certain parts will rise significantly due to the stopping of the cooling system, with the risk of badly damaging such parts.
- Stop the I.C. engine with the ignition switch.

- Remove the ignition key.
- Check that all the accesses on the platform are closed and locked (cowls…).
ELECTRIC PLATFORMS
- Remove the ground/platform control selection key.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR WELDING AND BLOW TORCH WORK ON THE EXTERNAL STRUCTURE
Ensure that there are no hydraulic or electrolyte leaks on the platform.
When welding, work in the opposite direction from the control console to avoid sparks damaging it .
- Any welding and cutting (blow torch) work from the basket on a building’s metallic structures requires the following precautions to be
taken:
A - WITH ELECTRIC WELDING EQUIPMENT
- It is essential that the machine has a discharge braid connecting the platform’s chassis to the ground.
- It is also essential that the external structure to be welded is connected to the earth. If the above conditions are observed, the platform
can, in this case, be in contact with the structure or the elements to be welded without damaging the electronic components.
- The power supply to the welding equipment must be via an earthed socked and any extension required just also be earthed.
- In all cases, ensure that there are no electrical arcs in the basket or on the platform (contact between the brazing rod or the torch and the
welding equipment’s earth). To ensure this, at any time the welding equipment’s earth must not be positioned on the platform’s basket
but instead only as close as possible to the element to be welded.
- Switch off the welding equipment before disconnecting the earth clamp from the element or elements to be welded.
B - WITH A BLOW TORCH
- Attach the blow torch’s bottles to the basket’s handrails.

- instructions for welding and blow torch work on the external structure
- Do not set the blow torch down on the lip of the basket while it is still operating or point it towards the control console or its power
cables.

LIFTING PLATFORM OPERATION
DESCRIPTION
This machine is a mobile people lifting platform. It comprises a working platform fixed on the end of a scissors assembly.
- MANITOU lifting platforms are solely intended for taking people, with their tools and supplies (up to the authorised weight limit, see the
“SPECIFICATIONS” paragraph), to a desired working height, to reach hard-to-reach places above installations and buildings.
The lifting platform is fitted with a control station in the basket, from which the operator can drive and move the machine forwards and
backwards. The operator can raise or lower the scissor assembly.
The lifting platform is also fitted with an emergency ground control that can be used to lower the scissors. The emergency control must
only be used in the event of an emergency to bring the operator back to the ground if he is incapable of doing so himself.
The operator must check, every day, that the emergency control and the basket are operating correctly.
Stickers showing the characteristics, safety warnings and the rescue procedure are affixed to the machine. The operator
must read these and fully understand their content. To avoid any risk of wrongly interpreting the pictograms, please refer
to the paragraph “SAFETY STICKERS” Section 1 – SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND ADVICE.
- The lifting platform is manoeuvred by means of a hydraulic pump. The hydraulic components are controlled by electro-valves actuated
by means of contactors and the control joystick.
- The controls on the base console or the basket console, operating via contactors, are either in ON or OFF mode.
- The basket console is fitted with a so-called “Dead Man’s” push-button on the joystick. This must be pressed at the same time as a
movement command. Releasing the button stops the movement.
- The lifting platform is a machine with two drive wheels, driven by hydraulic motors located at the front of the platform. The undriven
wheels, located at the rear, are provided with hydraulic release spring brakes. These brakes tighten automatically as soon as the translation
joystick is returned to the Neutral position.
- The lifting platform can be raised to the limit of its capacities (see “CHARACTERISTICS” pages 2-7 to 2-10). A load not exceeding the
basket’s maximum capacity will enable you to move to any position, provided that the machine is on a surface with a slope that does
not exceed the maximum authorised tilt.
GENERAL
- On the following pages, you will find all the information you require for using the machine. This included the procedures for using,
driving, parking, loading and transporting the lifting platform.

SAFETY
TILT
When the lifting platform reaches the maximum authorised level of tilt (see the A 14
CHARACTERISTICS chapter, pages 2-12 to 2-16), the diagnostics display 14* (Fig. A) on the
basket console shows “LL”. The lifting controls alarm should also sound intermittently.
Any “AGGRAVATING” lifting movements are forbidden, as a safety measure.
To resume control, simply perform movements that do not aggravate the 1 2
situation: 3 4
- Reposition the platform on a more horizontal surface so that you can make
lifting and extension movements.
OVERLOAD
When the lifting platform reaches the maximum authorised weight in the basket (see the
CHARACTERISTICS chapter, pages 2-8 to 2-10), the diagnosis display 14* (Fig. B) on the basket
console shows “OL” intermittently.
No function works. An alarm should sound. 14
B
To resume control:
- Relieve the weight in the basket by removing the item or items causing the
overload,
- Push in and then pull out the red Emergency Stop knob to re-initialise the 1 2
system. 3 4
- If the lifting platform is still overloaded, the indicator light will continue to
flash.
OR,
- Ask someone on the ground to perform a manual basket descent (see the
end of the “Rescue Procedure” in the chapter and “Safety Stickers” in Chapter
1 “Safety instructions and advice”).
* : The above numbers also correspond to those used in the description of these
components on the following pages.
OVERLOAD RECOVERY
If the ground controls LCD diagnostic readout displays Overload Recovery, the emergency
lowering system has been used while the platform was overloaded. For information on how
to reset this message, please consult the appropriate Genie Service Manual.
DRIVING OVER A SLOPE

Take note of the permissible longitudinal and lateral inclinations for the machine and
determine the percentage of slope.
Do not drive the machine over a slope whose angle is greater than the permissible longitudinal
and lateral inclinations for the machine. The permissible inclination applies to machines in the
folded position.

MOVING IN TRANSPORT / OPERATING MODE

- The lifting platform has two distinct movement modes: transport mode (Fig. B) and operating mode (Fig. C) (progress direction (Fig. A).
- Transport mode: the lifting platform’s scissors are in the Low position. This mode enables you to move at high speed.
(See the CHARACTERISTICS chapter page 2-7).
- Operating mode: the scissors are raised. In this mode, translations are made at slow speed.
In operating mode, any movement over broken ground, unstable surfaces, slopes greater than the authorised angles of
inclination (see the CHARACTERISTICS chapter, page 2-7), likely to cause the lifting platform to tip over or become
unbalanced, are FORBIDDEN.
In the case of a steep slope: place no load in the basket and use reverse gear.

SET-UP AT THE WORK AND LIFTING LOCATION
- The lifting platform is designed to operate on a flat, horizontal surface; it is important
to clear the space in which the lifting platform will be working.
- Bring the lifting platform to the work location.
- If necessary, load the equipment to be carried (stack it so that it does not hinder the
user and avoids the possibility of something falling off ).
- Climb onto the lifting platform.
Safety helmets and harnesses must, compulsorily, be worn.
- Press the “Dead Man’s” trigger and start to manoeuvre to position yourself in the
operating area.
When manoeuvring the lifting platform (lifting...), look all around and
below you. Pay particular attention to the electrical cables and any
item that may be in the lifting platform’s area of operation.
Become familiar with the instruments on the ground maintenance

and emergency station and in the basket described in the preceding
pages and, in particular, the warnings specifying the risks involved in
performing certain manoeuvres.
SAFETY SYSTEMS
- When the diagnostic displays show “OL” flashing, this means that the lifting platform
is overloaded and that no function is activated any longer. An alarm should sound.
• Solution : Push the red Emergency Stop knob to the OFF position. Relieve
the weight.
- When the lifting platform reaches the maximum authorised level of tilt, it must
stop rising and the tilt alarm should sound at 180 beeps per minute. The diagnostic
displays show “LL”. All “AGGRAVATING” raising movements are prohibited as a safety
precaution.
• Solution : set the lifting platform on a more horizontal surface, only making
movements that do not aggravate the situation further.

DESCENT
- When the work has been completed: lower the scissors to bring the lifting platform to
transport position.
Pay attention to any people on the ground while descending, especially

when the extension is still extended.tie.
SWITCHING OFF THE LIFTING PLATFORM

- When the lifting platform is no longer being used, switch off the ignition by moving
the ignition switch to the Neutral position (see 2 – Ignition switch).
LOADING / UNLOADING THE LIFTING PLATFORM

D
Check that the safety instructions for the transport platform are being
correctly applied before loading the lifting platform and ensure that the
driver of the means of transport has been informed of the lifting
platform’s dimensional characteristics and weight
(See the CHARACTERISTICS chapter, pages 2-14 to 2-23).
- The lifting platform must be in transport position while being loaded onto a truck bed:
- The steered wheels must be facing the ramp (see chapter 1 to determine the direction
of travel – safety instructions and advice; §SAFETY STICKERS; 1).
- The extension must be retracted and locked. 1
Ensure that the truck bed is sufficiently large and has sufficient load-
bearing capacity to transport the lifting platform. Also check the bed’s
permissible ground contact pressure with regard to the lifting platform.
There is a risk of the lifting platform losing grip (slipping or skidding)

while climbing or descending the loading ramps, if the ramps are wet,
muddy or show traces of humidity. For this reason, a winch connected to
the machine’s tie-down points is necessary as a safety measure.
LOADING
- Fasten the loading ramps to the truck bed so as to have the smallest angle possible for
embarking the lifting platform (Fig. D).
- Lock the truck bed’s wheels 1 (Fig. D).
Please adapt the lifting platform’s translation speed by controlling it

with the translation joystick.

- Retract and tie down the lifting platform’s extension unit.
- Use the tie-down points on the chassis to fasten the machine to the truck bed’s surface E 78 SEC
(Figs. E and F).
- Use at least two chains or straps.
- Use chains or straps with sufficiently large load-retaining strength.
- Fasten chocks to the truck bed in front of and behind each of the lifting platform’s tyres
1 (Fig. E).
- Also fasten chocks to the truck bed on the inside and outside of each tyre 1 (Fig. F).
- Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position and remove the key before transport.

Proper brake action is essential to safe machine operation. The drive brake function should operate smoothly, free of hesitation, jerking
and unusual noise. Hydraulically-released individual wheel brakes can appear to operate normally when they are actually not fully
operational.
- Mark a test line on the ground for reference.
- Start the engine from platform controls.
- Choose a point on the machine; i.e., contact patch of a tire, as a visual reference for use when crossing the test line.
- Bring the machine to maximum drive speed before reaching the start line. Release the function enable switch on the joystick or release
the joystick when your reference point on the machine crosses the test line.
- Measure the distance between the test line and your machine reference point.
