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.
t IMPORTANT t
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.
t IMPORTANT t
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
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

 t IMPORTANT t
For operation under average climatic conditions, i.e. : between -15 °C and + 35 °C, correct levels of lubricants in all the circuits are checked in production. For operation
under more severe climatic conditions, before starting up, it is necessary to drain all the circuits, then ensure correct levels of lubricants using lubricants properly suited to
the relevant ambient temperatures. It is the same for the cooling liquid.
- A platform operating in an area without fire extinguishing equipment must be equipped with an individual extinguisher.
There are solutions, consult your dealer.
t IMPORTANT t
Your platform is designed for outdoor use (see chapter: 2 - DESCRIPTION, CHARACTERISTICS pages) under normal atmospheric conditions and indoor use in suitably
aerated and ventilated premises. It is prohibited to use the platform in areas where there is a risk of fire or which are potentially explosive (e.g. Refineries, fuel or gas
depots, stores of inflammable products…). For use in these areas, specific equipment is available (ask your dealer for information).

Modifying the platform

- For your safety and that of others, you must not change the structure and settings of the various components used in your
platform (hydraulic pressure, calibrating limiters, I.C. engine speed, addition of extra equipment, addition of counterweight,
unapproved attachments, alarm systems, etc.) yourself. In this event, the manufacturer cannot be held responsible.
- Your lifting platform is delivered with standard wheels or all-terrain wheels. It is FORBIDDEN to switch from one type of
wheels to another: RISK OF THE LIFTING PLATFORM BECOMING UNSTABLE.

THE INSTRUCTIONS
- The operator’s manual must always be in good condition and kept in the place provided on the platform and in the
language used by the operator.
- You must necessarily replace the instructions manual, as well as any plates or stickers, if they are no longer legible or are
missing or damaged.

damaged.
- A second operator must necessaily be present on the ground as a safety measure when using the platform.
- Familiarise yourself with the platform on the terrain it has to travel over.
- The machine must also be used in accordance with good engineering practice.
- Do not use the platform if the wind speed is over 45 km/h. The platform’s arms must not be subjected to a lateral force
of more than 40 kg (platforms for indoor use must not be used outside the building).
B - AUTHORISATION FOR USE IN FRANCE
(or see current legislation in other countries).
- Only qualified, authorized personnel may use the platform. This authorization is given in writing by the appropriate
person in the company, in charge of using the platform, and must be permanently carried by the operator.
- The operator is not competent to authorise the driving of the platform by another person.
C - MAINTENANCE
- The operator must immediately advise his superior if his platform is not in good working order or does not comply with
the safety notice.
- The operator is prohibited from carrying out any repairs or adjustments himself, unless he has been trained for this
purpose. He must keep the platform properly cleaned if this is among his responsibilities.
- The operator must carry out daily maintenance (see chapter : 3 - MAINTENANCE, A - DAILY pages).
- The operator must ensure tyres are adapted to the nature of the ground (see area of the contact surface of the tyres in
the chapter : 2 - DESCRIPTION : CHARACTERISTICS pages). There are optional solutions, consult your dealer.
t IMPORTANT t
Do not use the platform if the tyres are damaged or excessively worn, because this could put your own safety or that of others at risk, or cause damage to the platform
itself.
t IMPORTANT t

C - ENVIRONMENT
- Comply with site safety regulations.
- The platform can be manoeuvred from the ground: ensure that you forbid access.
- If you have to use the platform in a dark area or at night, make sure it is equipped with working lights.
- The platforms may not be used as cranes or elevators for the permanent transport of people or materials, nor as jacks
or supports.
- When operating, ensure that there is no one or anything impeding the platform’s progress ans operation.
- When raising the platform, ensure that no one or anything inpedes the platform’s operation and do not perform any
inappropriate manœuvres.
- Do not allow anybody to come near the working area of the platform or pass beneath an elevated load. To do this, mark
your operating area with warning signs.
- Travelling on a longitudinal slope :
• Ensure that you adapt the platform’s travelling speed by controlling the speed with the travelling manipulator.
- Take into account the platform’s dimensions and its load before trying to negotiate a narrow or low passageway.
- Never move onto a loading platform without having first checked :
• That it is suitably positioned and made fast.
• That the unit to which it is connected (wagon, lorry, etc.) will not shift.
• That this platform is prescribed for the size and the total weight of the platform.
• That the slope is not greater than the platform’s maximum authorised slope.
- Never move onto a foot bridge, floor or freight lift, without being certain that they are prescribed for the weight and size
of the platform to be loaded and without having checked that they are in sound working order.
- Be careful in the area of loading bays, trenches, scaffolding, soft land and manholes.
- Ensure that the ground under the wheels and/or stabilisers is firm and stable before raising the basket.
- Do not attempt any operations outside the plarform’s capabilities.
- Ensure that the materials on the platform (pipes, cables, containers, etc ...) cannot slip off and fall. Do not heap up these
materials to the pint where you have to step over them.
t IMPORTANT t
If the basket must remain stationary over a structure for a long period, there is a risk that the basket will rest on this structure because of the oil cooling in the cylinders or a
minor leak in the cylinder locking system. To eliminate this risk :
- Regularly check the distance between the basket and the structure and re-adjust if necessary.
- If possible use the platform at an oil temperature as close as possible to ambient temperature.
- In the case of work near aerial lines, ensure that the safety distance is sufficient between the working area of the platform
and the aerial line.
t IMPORTANT t
You must consult your local electrical agency. You could be electrocuted or seriously injured if you operate or park the platform too close to power cables.
t IMPORTANT t
If the platform comes into contact with electric wires, press the Emergency Stop button. If you can, jump from the basket without simultaneously being in contact with the
basket and the ground.
If not, call for help, wam people not to touch the basket and to switch off the power supply to the wires or have it switched off.

Operators should be aware of the risks connected with using the platform, notably:
- Risk of losing control.
- Risk of losing lateral and frontal stability of the platform.
The operator must remain in control of the platform.
- Do not carry out operations which exceed the capacities of your platform.
- Familiarise yourself with the platform on the terrain where it will be used.
- Ensure that the brakes work efficiently when stopping a travelling movement, taking into account the braking distances.
- Drive smoothly at an appropriate speed for the operating conditions (land configuration, load in the basket).
- Take extreme care if manoeuvring the platform with the basket in the high position. Ensure you have adequate visibility.
- Take bends slowly.
- In all circumstances make sure you are in control of your speed.
- Travel slowly on damp, slippery or uneven terrain or on truck ramps.
- Always remember that the hydraulic form of steering is very sensitive to movements.
- Never leave the I.C. engine on when the platform is unattended.
- Look where you are going and always make sure you have good visibility along the route.
- Drive round obstacles.
- Never drive on the edge of a ditch or steep slope.
- Whatever your travelling speed, you must reduce the speed as much as possible before stopping.
- The lifting platform must work in an obstacle-free area, where there is no danger descending to the ground.
- The operator using the lifting platform must be assisted by an appropriately instructed person on the ground.
- Comply with the limits shown on the lifting platform’s load graph.

INSTRUCTIONS

- When moving the platform a long distance, always travel with the arms folded or the scissors in the low position.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR WELDING AND BLOW TORCH WORK ON THE EXTERNAL STRUCTURE
t IMPORTANT t
Ensure that there are no hydraulic or electrolyte leaks on the platform.
t IMPORTANT t
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 is a mobile people-lifting platform. It consists of a working platform fixed on the end of a pendular arm, itself fixed to the
end of a telescopic arm, the whole assembly being mounted on an articulated arm structure.
MANITOU lifting platforms are solely intended to be used to carry people, with their tools and supplies (up to the authorized
weight limit: see the “SPECIFICATIONS” section), to the desired working height, to reach difficult to access areas over installations
and buildings.
The lifting platform is fitted with controls in the basket. From this control station, the operator can drive and operate his
machine forwards and backwards. The operator can also raise or lower the arm assembly, extend or retract the telescopic
arm and turn the turret or the basket to the right or the left.
The basket, arm and turret assembly can rotate through 359 degrees, non-continuously or continuously depending on the
type of lifting platform, to the right or left with respect to the parked position.
The lifting platform is also fitted with a ground maintenance and emergency station, from which all the lifting commands can
be made, except for translation commands. The base controls are only to be used for rescue purposes, to bring the operator
back to the ground if he is incapable of returning there himself.
The operator must check on a daily basis that the ground maintenance and emergency station controls, and then the basket
controls, are working correctly.
t IMPORTANT t
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’s movements are provided by a hydraulic pump operated by the IC engine. The hydraulic components
are controlled by electro-valves actuated by means of contactors on the control joy stick.
The controls on the base console and the basket console are in the form of rocker switches are in either ON or OFF mode.

The base console is fitted with a so called “Dead man’s” button Rep. 8*. This one must be maintained in base position
simultaneously in the impulse of a base control. Releasing it stops the movement.
The lifting platform is a four-wheel drive machine driven by an IC engine. The drive wheels are fitted with spring brakes with
hydraulic release. These brakes activate automatically as soon as the translation joy stick is returned to the Neutral position.
The lifting platform can lift within the limits of its capabilities (see “SPECIFICATIONS” in this section). A load equal to or less
than the maximum capacity in the basket enables you to move into any position provided that the machine is on a surface
with a slope of no more than the maximum authorised inclination

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.

MAN'GO 12

2 - 22
SAFETY

TILT

When the lifting platform reaches the maximum authorised level of tilt (see the
CHARACTERISTICS section), LED 30* on the basket console flashes regularly. Also 30
the basket’s buzzer 37* sounds intermittently.
All the “AGGRAVATING” movements of raising the arms, extending the telescope and
translation are prohibited as a safety measure.
t IMPORTANT t
When recovering controls, only carry out de-aggravating movements:
- return to the safety position by retracting the telescope and lowering the arm, then reposition the access
platform on more horizontal ground.

38

OVERLOAD

When the lifting platform reaches the maximum authorised weight (see the CHARACTERISTICS
section), the Overload LED 34* on the basket console flashes regularly. Also the basket’s
buzzer 42* sounds constantly. All movements are prohibited as a safety measure. 29

t IMPORTANT t
To resume control:
- Unburden the basket by removing the object or objects causing the overload,
OR

 USING THE LIFTING PLATFORM

BEFORE STARTING THE LIFTING PLATFORM

Check the following levels:
• Engine oil
• Oil in the hydraulic reservoir
• Coolant

STARTING THE LIFTING PLATFORM

Turn the ignition key 1 to notch to make the electrical contact.
Press button 2 to start up the IC engine.
START
t IMPORTANT t
Do not operate the starter for more than 30 seconds and run a pre-heating cycle between all failed attempts 2
to start.
1
Release the button as soon as the engine starts and let the engine run at tickover ENGINE
speed.
t IMPORTANT t
Never try to push or pull the lifting platform to start it. Such an action would cause severe damage to the
transmission.

MOVEMENT IN TRANSPORT / WORK MODE

Before moving or using the machine, remove the turret lock 1.
1

The lifting platform has two separate movement modes: Transport mode and Work
mode (direction of forward movement).
Transport mode: the lifting platform’s arms are in the Low position and the telescope
is retracted; the pendular arm may be raised completely. This mode enables you
to move at high speed and operate beyond the tilt limit of the machine (See the
CHARACTERISTICS section).

FORWARD
TRANSLATION

REVERSE
TRANSLATION
647533 (09/10/2015)
MAN'GO 12

2 - 44
Work mode : one or more of the lifting platform’s arms are raised and/or the telescope
is extended. In this mode, translations are made at slow speed and the safety systems
for tilt and overload are active.

NB: You must use Ramp speed (full power with the speed restricted) to cross over steep slopes or move over very broken
ground. This can prove very useful, for instance, if an access ramp must be borrowed to move the lifting platform onto a
truck bed.
t IMPORTANT t
In Work mode, any movement over broken ground, loose surfaces, slopes greater than the authorised level of tilt (see the CHARACTERISTICS section) likely to
overturn or unbalance the lifting platform is PROHIBITED.
t IMPORTANT t
The turret must be in the lifting platform’s axis when making a translation in Hare mode.
t IMPORTANT t
Before driving the lifting platform, ensure that the turret is correctly oriented with respect to the chassis, i.e. in the translation direction (black and white arrows).
In the case of a steep slope: - no load in the basket;

INSTALLATION ON THE WORK SITE AND LIFTING

The lifting platform has been designed to work 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 site.
If necessary, load the equipment to be carried (stack so as not to inconvenience the operator and prevent anything falling).
Climb into the lifting platform.
t IMPORTANT t
Wearing a safety helmet and a harness is compulsory.
Press the “Dead Man’s” pedal and start to manoeuvre to position yourself in the work area.
NB: When the lifting platform is free of the chassis, translation switches automatically to slow speed.
Only the pendular arm can be raised completely while maintaining Transport speed.
t IMPORTANT t
When manoeuvring the lifting platform (lifting, rotation...), look around and above you. Pay particular attention to the electric cables and any items that may be in
the lifting platform’s operating space.
t IMPORTANT t
Familiarise yourself with the instruments on the ground maintenance and emergency station and in the basket, described in the previous pages and in particular the
647533 (09/10/2015)

warnings specifying the risks involved in performing certain manoeuvres.

MAN'GO 12

2 - 45
SAFETY SYSTEMS
-- When the lifting platform is overloaded, the buzzer sounds continuously and all movements are blocked.
• Solution : unburden the basket.

LOWERING
-- When the work is complete: retract the telescope and lower the arms to bring the lifting platform back to Transport position.
t IMPORTANT t
Pay attention to the people on the ground when you are descending.

STOPPING THE LIFTING PLATFORM

-- When the lifting platform is not being used, cut off the electrical power supply by setting the ignition key to the Neutral
position (see 1 – Ignition).

LOADING / UNLOADING THE LIFTING PLATFORM
t IMPORTANT t
Check that the safety instructions relating to the truck bed have been correctly applied before loading the lifting platform and ensure that the transport vehicle’s driver is
aware of the lifting platform’s dimensional characteristics and its weight.
(see the CHARACTERISTICS section).
-- When loading the lifting platform on to a truck bed, the platform must be in Transport position:
• Counterweight facing the ramp (counterweight above the lifting platform’s steering wheels).
• Upper arm on its stop
• intermediate arm in the Low position
• Telescope retracted
• It is possible to raise the pendular arm so that it does not touch the ground but it is inadvisable to make a translation
movement with the basket raised excessively; keep the basket in the lowest possible position during manoeuvres
(danger of objects falling or impacts; see 1 - Safety Instructions and Advice; Driving Instructions section).
• Block the lifting platform’s turret from rotating by using the pin 1 (Fig. A (see the CONTROL INSTRUMENTS section,
paragraph: BLOCKING TURRET ROTATION)
• Use “Ramp” speed
t IMPORTANT t
Ensure that the truck bed is large enough and has a sufficient load capacity to transport the lifting platform.
Also check the truck bed’s permissible ground contact pressure with regard to the lifting platform. 1

t IMPORTANT t
There is a risk of the lifting platform losing adherence (sliding or slipping) when going up or down the loading
ramps, when these are wet, muddy or damp. It is therefore necessary to ensure the platform’s stability with a
winch attached to the lash-down points on the machine.

Loading
-- Fix the loading ramps to the truck bed so as to have the smallest angle possible
for loading the machine.
-- Chock the truck bed’s wheels 1.
t IMPORTANT t
Please adapt the lifting platform’s translation speed by controlling it with the translation joystick.

Procedure for folding the lifting platform

-- Raise the upper arm.
-- Extend slightly the telescop.
-- Initiate the basket tilt movement to fold the basket under the upper arm.
-- Lower the upper arm, paying attention not to hit the basket on the ground.
Initiate the basket tilt movement again to fold the basket to the maximum under
the upper arm. 1

Lashing down the lifting platform

-- Set chocks on the truck bed on each of the lifting platform’s tyres, front and rear 1.
-- Also set chocks on the truck bed on the inside and the outside of each tyre 2.
-- Set chocks under the basket corners.
t IMPORTANT t
Do not lash the basket with ropes.
-- Lash the lifting platform down on the truck bed with sufficiently strong ropes
3, to the front and the rear, passing the ropes through the slinging eyes.

 DESCRIPTION AND USE OF THE OPTIONS

1 - SAFEMANSYSTEM
The SafeManSystem option is a system used to disable all of the basket control panel
controls when activated by the lifting platform user.

OPERATION
• Each time the lifting platform is switched on, a system test is performed:
there is a beep and the blue warning light flashes.
• If the pressure-sensitive edge is pressed, the system cuts all of the lifting
platform controls. The blue warning light and an audible alarm are activated.
• If the user releases the pressure-sensitive edge:
• By pressing the nacelle “OFF” rearming button once, the user can regain 1
control of the nacelle controls. The blue warning light and the audible alarm
are turned off.
• If the user continues to press on the pressure-sensitive edge:
• By pressing the lifting platform “OFF” rearming button once, the user can
regain control of the lifting platform controls. The blue warning light and the
audible alarm are turned off when the user releases the pressure-sensitive
edge.
t IMPORTANT t 2

When the "retracting telescope" option is activated, the telescope retracts automatically when the
SafeManSystem is triggered.

2 - GENERATOR
Precautions for use for the operator when using lifting platforms fitted with this option:
t IMPORTANT t
Do not connect electrical equipment that is not fitted with a shut-off switch. Voltage spikes may occur when
