SAFETY INSTRUCTIONSDRIVINGBefore starting road transportation, a brief check of the chassis according to the instructions given byits manufacturer should be performed.

Verify that the Bronto Skylift unit is completely in its transport position, and that all separate tools etc.are properly fastened.

The following special features, depending on the design of the unit, should be particularly born inmind (some types may differ):

The Power Take-off "PTO" of the hydraulic system must be disengaged. Check also that the main electric power is switched off, and the warning lights of the

outriggers, booms, lockers and main electric power/"PTO" are not illuminatingbefore starting road transportation..

Correct position of the outriggers and the compartment doors must be verifiedduring driving and all loose equipment secured.

B044278X4

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONSWARNING FOR INCREASED OVERHANGS

Increased overhangs, particularly at the rear, must be born in mind. In narrow crossings the driver must confirm that there is enough space for turning..

Ground clearance and the angles to front and rear structures.l5

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONSWARNING FOR HEIGHT OF THE CENTRE OF GRAVITY AND TRAVELLING HEIGHT

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONSWORKING WITH BRONTO SKYLIFT

General operational safety warnings and instructions The operator must be over the age of 18. Be thoroughly familiar with all safety and operating instructions. Do not operate the unit before testing all its functions. Do routine daily checking for the unit before use. Check the rated operating temperature. This is an all metal non-insulated unit, do not operate near live electric conductors. Beware of any obstacles around the working range. Do not operate the unit which is not working properly or has not been maintained

regularly. All operations must be carried out smoothly in order to avoid abrupt and

uncomfortable movements of the working cage and unnecessary dynamic loads. Never leave the unit with lifted booms without control. Do not exceed the rated working cage load. Never increase the working cage wind load. Do not use the unit for any other purpose than to lift personnel, tools, and

equipment. Do not climb on the top of the working cage railing. Do not use ladders or other devices to increase working height or side outreach. Always use the safety belts or harnesses in the working cage, maximum three belts

for one anchor point. Working cage or any other part of the aerial unit must not be forced against the

ground or any other solid object. Serious damage may result from such contact. Ifany part of the aerial unit has accidentally collided with or contacted against theground or any other obstacle, the unit must be inspected immediately by themanufacturer or its representatives.

While a thunderstorm is raging beware of lightning. After work operate the unit always back to transport position. The main electric power must be switched on always when the unit is not in

transport position. Safety control of the unit demands the electric voltage, so as the alarm give a

warning for approaching the maximum outreach and outriggers have too low groundpressure.

Control of the air spring suspension also demands the electric voltage. If any safety and operational problems occur, you must urgently consult your dealer

or the nearest Bronto Skylift Service.7

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONSPOSITIONING VEHICLE TO WORKING OBJECT

RIGHT!

Place the vehicle to avoid any unnecessary disturbing of normal traffic. Place the vehicle to avoid later repositioning. Place the vehicle to avoid unnecessary boom movements.. If possible, place the working object to the rear of the unit. Check that the ground is hard enough to withstand the outrigger forces. Always use the separate ground pads under the jack footplates. When operating the outriggers make sure that there are no persons around the

working area of the outriggers.8

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONSOPERATING OF BOOM AND ROTATION MOVEMENTS

WRONG!!!

All operations must be carried out smoothly in order to avoid abrupt anduncomfortable movements of the working cage and unnecessary dynamic loads.

Unnecessary operation against the limiting devices should be avoided. When the booms are operated, make sure that all parts of the boom and the working

cage move far enough from all obstacles, electric conductors, etc. Operating of the booms is forbidden if wind speed exceed 12,5 m/s.9

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONSMINIMUM SAFE DISTANCE FROM POWER LINES

Platform is not insulated.

Minimum safe distance from power lines mounted on steel towers is 5 m.

Minimum safe distance from power lines mounted on poles is 5 m.10

INSTRUCTION FOR AUTOMATIC LEVELLING SYSTEM FOR OUTRIGGERSBefore beginning to use the system, please read carefully the following instructions, notes andwarnings and be sure you understand the meaning.

In this document the automatic levelling system for outriggers is called automatic levelling.

GENERAL NOTES AND WARNINGS Positioning the vehicle on a slope: the cab must always be downwards and working object

rear (or side) approx. 7-15 meters away from the unit. Make sure that there are no obsta-cles above the booms.

Before using the automatic levelling be sure there is enough room to extend all outriggersand the ground is hard enough to withstand outrigger footplate pressure.

When using the automatic levelling be sure that there are no people around the workingarea of the outriggers.

When using the automatic levelling, pay attention to what is happening around the unit andstop the process immediately if it seems to be led to a dangerous situation.

The vertical cylinders of the outriggers are moving automatically without warning when theautomatic levelling is in use. It is very dangerous to be near the outriggers!

IN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS YOU CAN STOP THE AUTOMATIC LEVELLINGSYSTEM AND THE ENGINE OF THE CHASSIS BY PUSHING THE EMERGENCY STOPPUSH BUTTON OF THE CENTRAL UNIT.

AIR SUSPENDED TRUCKS The ignition current of the truck must be turned on under all circumstances, even when

operating with auxiliary engine or electric motor.

USING GROUNDPLATES

If the slope is so steep that the outrigger cylinder stroke is not long enough to level the unit, amaximum of four (4) outrigger plywood groundplates can be fitted under one outrigger.

Note! When levelling the unit, make sure that the contact between ground,groundplates and footplates is sufficient, and footplates will not slide on thegroundplates nor the groundplates slide on the ground. Ice, sand, stones,dirt, mud etc. reduce the friction between ground and groundplate. Theoperator is responsible for safe levelling of the unit.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONSOPERATION OF BOOMS AND ROTATION MOVEMENTSAll movements can be controlled simultaneously or one by one from the turntable or cage controlpanel. When one of the control levers (or RPM-switch in the joystick, or RPM-foot pedal, if fitted) isactivated, the pressure of the hydraulic system will automatically rise to the preset working level.

When elevating or lowering the booms, follow this order:

ELEVATING BOOMS

1. Elevate the 1st boom from its support(about 30 cm). Open slightly the 2ndboom so that the rotation movementsbecome possible.

2. Open the 2nd boom further and also thetelescopic movements becomepossible.

3. Now the telescopic, rotation, 1st and2nd boom movements can all beoperated.

All movements which could causethe working cage to move beyond itspermitted working range areprevented during normal operation.

LOWERING BOOMS

Before lowering the booms, make sure that the railings of the 2nd boom ladder are turned to thetransport position. Check also that the working cage is in the middle position and the water monitoris in the transport position, and also the rescue flap of the working cage is lifted and locked. Rotatethe turntable into the position where the 1st boom is above its transport support.

Lowering the booms from the cage onto transport support: only 1 person in the cage.

Lowering the booms from the turntable onto transport support: the cage must be empty.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONSBRONTO+ ELECTRONIC SYSTEMGENERALThe Bronto+ Electronic System makes it possible to leave outriggers to any position, and to selectthe working cage load according to the working situation. With these variabilities the systemautomatically selects the maximum allowed outreach to front, right side, rear, and left side.

Bronto+ Electronic System is based on calculations and parameters saved in the system. Becauseof this special system, we can guarantee maximum outreaches in every situation.

Display units of the system show maximum possible outreach and position of the working cage inreal-time and there are also some additional features included in the display units.

Bronto+ Electronic System is easy to operate without any special skills. Just move the booms andthe outreach is controlled automatically by the system.

SAFETYOperational safety is the most important part of Bronto+ Electronic System. One part of safety iseasy-to-use. Safety of Bronto+ Electronic System is based on the valid standards of the EuropeanUnion, every point is well considered and designed, even the smallest one. It has a wide testingprogram and very high quality of the components. In the Bronto+ Electronic System system allelectrical components are doubled.

DISPLAYThe system includes three full colour displays situated in the outrigger centre, at the turntable andin the working cage. All essential information can be seen on the display units.

SECTORSThe working area of the boom rotation is divided into 6 sectors; front right, right side, rear right, rearleft, rear left side and front left. The size of each sector will be defined automatically based on theposition of the outriggers.31

yellow signal light illuminates the working cage is approachingits maximum outreach (also some movements are sloweddown).

If only yellow light is blinking, not less than two outriggers havetoo low ground pressure.

Red warning light (!!): When both lights are blinking alternately and the buzzer

alarms in cycles, the system has detected a failure and allmovements are stopped.

If only red light illuminates and the buzzer alarms continuously,the working cage is overloaded comparing to selected cageload.

When the red warning light illuminates the working cage hasreached its maximum outreach (also some movements arestopped).

When the buzzer in the display alarms continuously themaximum outreach is passed or the working cage isoverloaded.

When the buzzer alarms in cycles, there is a failure in theoutreach control system.33

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONSSCREEN OF THE MEMORY DRIVEOption to the customers. This screen appears when pushing arrow left/right buttons:

Memory function runs when one or two points are saved even if other screens are selected.

Basically the idea is still the same as in BRONTO 2+. Selection is now done by function keys asfollows:

No points saved in the memory. The first point can be saved by pushing function key F4 and the second point by pushing function key F5.Operator of the platform can order the sequence.

Drive the booms to the wanted position to save it into the memory. Push function key F4 or F5. The point is now saved into the memory. Symbol on the left side.

When the lock-symbol shows "locked" and you push the button the secondtime, the system selects the memory point and shows on the right side of thescreen how to drive to that memory point (blue arrows). When one of themovements is in the memory position, lock symbol replaces the arrow symbol.

When all the movements are in locked position (memory position) and yourelease JOYSTICK_RPM, lock-symbol opens and the background of thesymbol turns grey (see below).64

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONSIf you push the third time the same button (blue background), it turns grey and there is no memory position selection. The system still keeps the point in the memory.

If you push ENTER + F4 (or F5), the system erases the memory point from thememory. The symbol on the left appears. It is not possible to erase the memoryuntil JOYSTICK_RPM is loose.

If the both memory points are saved into the memory, it is possible to drivebetween these points. Select first the point you want to reach first (for exampleF4) and then the second point (F5). Background of the both symbols turns blueand the arrow between the symbols shows the point where to go first. Also theblue arrows on the right side of the screen show the way to the selected point.When the first memory point is reached (all lock-symbols are locked) and yourelease the JOYSTICK_RPM, the system selects the second pointautomatically. You can cancel the operation by pushing one of the functionkeys (F4 or F5).65

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONSMANUAL CONTROL VALVES

MANUAL OPERATING

It is possible to operate the unit by using the manual override buttons in the middle of the valve coilin the control valves.

These override buttons are meant only to be used for temporary operation of the unit during mainte-nance. The hydraulic system must retain its normal pressure while using the hand control levers.

Attention! When the boom movements are controlled manually the electrical limitswitches do not work. It is the responsibility of the operator to keep the unit within asafe working range!

Only personnel who is familiar with the unit and manual operating, may operating the unit. Use manual operating only during service or in case of failure in electrical system. Let engine run. Power take-off (PTO) of the hydraulic system must be engaged. Movements can be controlled outwards and inwards. Use manual operating only to get booms back to transport position in case of failure. Attention! Use extreme caution when operating with manual control valves or

manual rotation!66

MANUAL OPERATION OF ROTATION

When rotation of the turntable cannot be obtained either by the manual control lever or by the use ofemergency battery power, the booms can be rotated manually as follows:

1. Remove the motor by unfastening the screws. Fastening screws of rotation motor.2. Turn the valve into the position where the pres-

sure from the hand pump goes to the brake.3. The crank handle is then fitted into the gearbox

to mesh with the inner gearring that can beseen when the motor is removed.

Note! Before carrying out the next part ofthe procedure, ensure that the vehicle isperfectly levelled or that the booms arerestrained in some way, so that theturntable will not start to rotate on its ownas soon as the brake for the rotationgearbox is released.

4. The brake of the rotation gearbox is opened byturning the handle at the top of the hand pumpinwards, enough to open the brake.

Note! If required, the rotation gearboxbrake can be engaged by turning thehandle of the hand pump outwards, enoughto engage the brake.

PROCEDURE AFTER OPERATION:1. Turn the handle of the hand pump outwards to its upmost position.2. Removes the crank handle.3. Remount the rotation motor and fasten the screws.4. Turn the valve into the position where the pressure goes from the hydraulic system to the

brake.

WATER SYSTEMWater is supplied through a 2" quick couplings and shut-off valves located at the rear of the unit.The water system is equipped with two drains, one at the rear of the unit and one at the working cage.The working cage is equipped with a water monitor, 2" outlet with a shut-off valve, and a protectivewater curtain below the cage floor. The water monitor is the TR75SH and the jet is an Akromatic.

The water monitor is controlled with electric remote control (option) or manual control, which iscoupled to outlets located at the working cage and the turntable control station. An extension cordcan be used at the turntable, allowing full remote control of water monitor operations from the ground.The water monitor remote control has three control functions, horizontal and vertical movement ofthe monitor and change the water jet from spray to straight stream.

Note! Make sure that when supplying water into the water line system by an external pum-ping device, supply pressure is not allowed to exceed 16 bar.

Before supplying water to the system ensure that the monitor water valve is open, thenslowly open the supply shut-off valve of the supply inlet.

Always open and close water valves slowly. Beware of pressure shocks. After using the water system, open all drains and extend the booms to full height to drain all

water from the system. Leave all drains open when not using the water system. When there is water in the system ensure that the monitor valve or one of the drains is

open when you are moving the booms, especially if you are using the telescopic sections,to avoid damaging pressure buildup in the piping.

Before stowing the booms, make sure that the water monitor is in its transport position. Under freezing conditions, do not extend the telescopic sections of the 1st boom comple-

tely, this is to prevent compressing of possible ice build ups between the telescopic sec-tions.

Under freezing conditions, when using the water monitor and the protective water curtain,make sure that water does not fall over the platform and freeze on it.

Observe also freezing on the working cage floor, possibly causing overload.

EMERGENCY LOWERING AND LOAD CONTROL VALVES OF CYLINDERS

1. Emergency lowering valve.2. Adjustable load control valve. The cylinders are equipped with load control valves that prevent unwanted lowering of

booms (e.g. in case of hose failure). These valves are adjusted to 345 bar by the manufac-turer. Note! These valves shall not be field adjusted and replacement shall only be

performed by qualified, adequately trained maintenance personnel.
