PREAMBLE

WHENEVER YOU SEE THIS SYMBOL IT MEANS :

WARNING ! BE CAREFUL ! YOUR SAFETY OR

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.

- Special features are available, as an option, for particularly cold environments.

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.

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).

C - 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.

THE MAINTENANCE
- Maintenance or repairs other than those detailed in the chapter 3 - MAINTENANCE must be carried out by qualified personnel (consult
your dealer) and under the necessary safety conditions to maintain the health of the operator and any third party.

Your patform must be inspected periodically to ensure that it remains in compliance. The frequency of this inspection is
defined by current legislation in the country in which the platform is use

1-6
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.

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 platformk itself.

In the case of electric platforms, the operator must ensure that:

- The batteries are not replaced with lighter ones (compromising stability).
- Safety goggles are always worn when charging the batteries.
- The batteries are not charged in an explosive environment.
- There is no smoking and no naked flame directed towards the batteries when they are being handled during
removal, re-installation and checking the levels.

D - MODIFYING THE PLATFORM

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.
- Check that all the accesses on the platform are closed and locked (cowls…).
- Set the battery cut-out to the OFF position (ELECTRIC PLATFORM).

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.

MAINTENANCE
- Perform the periodic service (see : 3 - MAINTENANCE) to keep your platform in good working conditions. Failure to perform the periodic
service may cancel the contractual guarantee.

MAINTENANCE LOG
- The maintenance work performed following the recommendations in Part 3 - MAINTENANCE and the other inspection, servicing,
repair and modification work performed on the lifting platform must be recorded in a maintenance log. A note must be made, for each
operation, of the date of the work, the names of the persons or companies that have performed them, the nature of the ’operation and,
where applicable, the maintenance intervals. When components in the lifting platform have to be replaced, the components’ references
must be noted.

647367 (01/03/2017)

1-16
HYDRAULIC
- Make any repairs and fix any leaks, including minor ones, immediately.
- Do not attempt to loosen unions, hoses or any hydraulic component with the circuit under pressure.

BALANCING VALVE : It is dangerous to change the setting and remove the balancing valves or safety valves which may be
fitted to your platform cylinders. These operations must only be performed by approved personnel (consult your dealer).

Ensure that all consumables and replacement parts are disposed of safety, in an environmentally friendly manner.

The HYDRAULIC ACCUMULATORS that can be fitted on your lifting platform are pressurised components; removal of these
components and their hoses can be a dangerous operation. It should only be performed by accredited personnel (please
contact your dealer).

ELECTRICITY
- Do not drop metallic items on the battery (between the “Plus” and “Minus terminals”).
- Disconnect the battery or batteries before working on the electrical circuit.
- The electrical box must only be opened by authorized personnel.

WELDING ON THE ACCESS PLATFORM

- Disconnect the battery or batteries before welding on the platform.
- When carrying out electric welding work on the platform, connect the negative cable from the equipment directly to the part being
welded, so as to avoid high tension current passing through the alternator or the live ring.
- If the platform is equipped with an electronic control unit, disconnect this before starting to weld, to avoid the risk of causing irreparable
damage to electronic components.

Welding operations on the structure for maintenance or repair operations must only be performed by MANITOU-certified
personnel.

WASHING THE PLATFORM

- Clean the platform or at least the area concerned before any intervention.
- Remember to close and lock all accesses to the platform (cowls…).
- When cleaning with a pressure washer, avoid the articulation joints, and the electrical components and connections.
- If necessary, protect components likely to be damaged, and in particular the electrical components (variable speed drive, charger) and
connections and the injection pump from penetration by water, steam or cleaning products.
- Dry the electrical components.
- Clean the platform of any fuel, oil or grease trace.
- Grease the shafts.

FOR ANY INTERVENTION OTHER THAN REGULAR MAINTENANCE,

 LIFTING PLATFORM OPERATION

DESCRIPTION
- This machine is a mobile personnel lifting platform. It comprises a work platform fixed on the end of a scissors assembly.

- 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 machine is fitted with a control station in the basket. From this, the operator can drive and operate his machine in a forward and
reverse direction. The operator can raise and lower the scissors assembly.

- 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.

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, operating via contactors, are either in ON or OFF MODE.

- The base console is fitted with a so-called “Dead Man’s” push button (9*). This must be pushed in at the same time as the contactor is
pressed. Releasing it stops the manoeuvre.

- 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.

SAFETY

TILT
When the platform reaches the maximum authorised tilt (see the CHARACTERISTICS Section),
the led (24*) on the basket console will show red. Also, the buzzer for the platform’s controls will
sound intermittently.
Any “AGGRAVATING” lifting movements are prohibited as a safety measure.
24

To take command of the controls again, only make non-aggravating movements:

- reposition the platform on a more level surface so that you can make lifting
and extension movements.

OVERLOAD
When the platform reaches the authorised weight limit (see the CHARACTERISTICS Section) for
the basket, the led (24*) on the basket console flashes. The buzzer for the platform’s controls also
sounds. All movements are prohibited as a safety measure.

To take command of the controls again:

- relieve the weight on the basket by removing the item or items causing the overload,
- Push and then pull the yellow Emergency Stop knob to re-initialise the system.
- If the platform is still overloaded, the indicator light will continue to flash.
OR,
- ask someone on the ground to perform a manually controlled basket descent (see the end of “Rescue procedure” in that
Section, and also “Safety stickers” in Section 1 “Safety instructions and advice”).

*: the numbers indicated above also correspond to those used in the descriptions of these components over the following
pages.

OVERLOAD RECOVERY

If the ground controls LCD screen 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 your dealer.

DRIVING ON A SLOPE
Note any longitudinal and lateral slopes permissible for the platform and determine the percentage inclination.
Do not drive the machine over a slope with an inclination higher than the maximum longitudinal and lateral inclinations permissible for
the machine. The permissible inclination applies to the platform in the folded position.

Maximum slope rating, stowed position:

100 SC-2 40% (22°)
120 SC-2 35% (19°)
140 SC 35% (19°)
Maximum side slope rating, stowed position:
100 SC-2 40% (22°)
120 SC-2 35% (19°)
140 SC 35% (19°)
100/120 SC-2 / 140 SC

Remarks: the permissible inclination is subject to the condition of the ground and there being suitable traction.

MOVEMENT IN TRANSPORT / WORK MODE

- The lifting platform has two separate movement modes: Transport mode (Fig. B) and Work mode (Fig. C). Direction of forward movement
: Fig. A.
- Transport mode: the platform’s scissor assembly is in the Low position. This mode enables you to travel at high speed (see the
CHARACTERISTICS Section).
- Work mode: the scissor assembly is raised. In this mode, translations are made at slow speed.

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.

In the case of a steep slope: - no load in the basket; use reverse gear.

647367 (01/03/2017)

2-32
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.

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.

When manoeuvring the lifting platform (lifting,...), 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.

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 warnings specifying the risks involved in performing certain manoeuvres.

SAFETY SYSTEMS
When the platform is overloaded, the red Overload led on the basket console flashes, the audible vibrating alarm sounds, and all
movements are prohibited as a safety measure.

• Solution: Lighten the load.

- When the platform reaches the maximum authorised tilt, the led on the basket console shows red. Also, the buzzer for the platform’s
controls sounds intermittently and any “AGGRAVATING” lifting movements are prohibited as a safety measure.

• Solution : reposition the platform on a more level surface and only make non-aggravating movements.

100/120 SC-2 / 140 SC

647367 (01/03/2017)

2-33
LOWERING
- When the work is complete: lower the scissors assembly to bring the platform into Transport position.

Pay attention to anyone present on the ground at the time of your descent, especially when the extension is extended.

STOPPING THE PLATFORM

- When the platform is not being used, switch it off by setting the ignition switch to the Neutral position (see 13 – Ignition Switch).

LOADING / UNLOADING THE LIFTING PLATFORM

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 D
(see the CHARACTERISTICS section).

- When loading the lifting platform on to a truck bed, the platform must be in Transport position:
- The steered wheels must be facing the ramp (see 1 – Safety instructions and advice; SAFETY
STICKERS Section; item 1).
- The extension must be retracted and locked in place.

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 1
contact pressure with regard to the lifting platform.

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 (Fig D).
- Chock the truck bed’s wheels Rep. 1 (Fig D).

Please adapt the lifting platform’s translation speed by controlling it with the translation joystick. 100/120 SC-2 / 140 SC

2-34
TYING DOWN THE MACHINE FOR TRANSPORT BY TRUCK OR TRAILER

- Always chock the machine’s wheels in preparation for transport.

- Retract and tie down the platform’s extension.
- Use the tie-down points on the chassis to fasten the machine to the transport bed (Figs. E & F). E
- Use at least two chains or belts.
- Use chains or belts with a sufficiently high load capacity.
- Fix the chocks to the bed in front of and behind each of the platform’s tyres 1 (Figs. E & F).
- Also fix chocks to the bed on the inside and outside of each tyre 1 (Fig F).
- Set the ignition switch in the OFF position and remove the key before transporting the machine.
- Inspect the whole machine, looking for anything that may be loose or poorly fastened.
- If the ramps have been folded up, tie them down with belts before transporting the machine.

UNLOADING

Never come down from a truck moving forwards (counterweight to the front
over the steered wheels); the poor grip from the rear wheels reduces the braking
efficiency.
F
Ensure that you adapt the platform’s translation speed by controlling the speed
with the translation joystick.

 RESCUE PROCEDURE

- This paragraph describes the procedures to follow, the controls to use in the event of a problem (breakdown of the lifting platform or
someone trapped in the basket) while the lifting platform is working.
- When taking over the machine and regularly afterwards, the details of this procedure must be read and fully understood by the operator
and everyone whose duties are centred on activities in contact with the machine.

IF THE OPERATOR FALLS ILL 12

- If the user is taken ill or accidently triggers the basket emergency stop or finds themselves
unable to manoeuvre, the person present on the ground can take control of the lifting platform.
- Follow the instructions below. !
- Proceed to lower the platform using the base controls.
- Hold down the lifting confirmation button 12 (Fig. A) without releasing it and lower the
platform by pressing the descent button13 (Fig. A). 13

Pay attention to any constructions or objects that may be under the lifting platform.

RELEASING THE BRAKES B
Désengagée

The platform may only be towed a short distance, and necessarily by a machine
with significant braking power to hold it, and with a connecting bar between
the two machines.

- To set the platform in Freewheel mode, it must not be subject to any translation stresses Engagée
caused by a slope. The wheels must be able to turn freely.
- Release the wheel brakes by turning over the two rear torque hub disconnect caps. Turn needle
valve on traction manifold counter-clockwise until it stops.
- Be sure the winch line is properly secured to the drive chassis tie points and the path is clear
of all obstructions.
- Reverse the procedures described to re-engage the brakes.
Note: The needle valve should always remain closed during normal operation.
Press the brake release pump button 2 (Fig. F).

- It is inadvisable to tow the 100 SC-2, 120 SC-2 and 140 SC models.
- If the platform must be towed, do not exceed 3.2 km/h.

Never try to push or pull the platform to start it. This type of manoeuvre would cause serious damage to the transmission.

- For good performance and good service life, it is essential to keep the oil at a correct
level. Using the machine with an unsuitable level of oil can damage the engine
components.
Remarks: check the oil level with the engine switched off. The engine should be on a
horizontal surface.
- Check the oil level with the dipstick. Add oil if necessary.
- The oil level must be checked at least 5 minutes after the engine is switched off. (1) Filling cap
(2) Dipstick
(A) Acceptable oil level

A2 - Coolant level A2-1

CHECK

- It is essential to keep the coolant at a correct level to ensure good service life for the
engine. A wrong dose of coolant would detract from the engine’s cooling capabilities
and damage its components. Daily checks enable the inspector to note variations in
coolant level likely to indicate problems with the cooling system.

- Remove the radiator cap and check whether the coolant reaches the filler hole.

- If the radiator has a backup tank, check the level of coolant in this tank. If the level is
between the “FULL” and “LOW” markings, the coolant will last for one working day.

(1) Radiator pressure cap

Risk of physical injury. The fluids in the radiator are under pressure and
burning hot. Proceed very carefully when removing the cap and adding
A2-2
fluid.

(1) Reserve tank

(A) “FULL” (B) “LOW”
A3 - Fuel level
CHECK

- Keep the fuel tank full as far as possible to reduce as much as possible any condensation
due to atmospheric conditions.
- Remove the filler cap 1 (Fig. A3)
- Fill the tank via the filling hole with clean Diesel fuel, filtered through a strainer or a
clean, lint-free cloth.

Never smoke or approach the tank with a naked flame during filling or
when the tank is open. Never fill the tank with the engine running.

Failure to comply with this instruction may result in damage to or breakage of the
wheel pins and deformation of the wheels.

A7 - Hydraulic oil level

CHECK A7

- It is essential to keep the hydraulic oil at a correct level for the machine to operate
correctly. The wrong level of oil can damage the hydraulic components. Daily checks
enable you to note any variation in oil level that could indicate the presence of
problems in the hydraulic system.
- Remarks: perform this procedure with the platform in the folded position and with the
engine switched off.
- Visually check the sight glass located on the side of the hydraulic oil reservoir.
- Result: the hydraulic oil level must be less than 5cm from the top of the sight glass.
- Add oil if necessary.

A8 - Condition of the joystick bellows gaskets

CHECK

- For this operation, climb into the basket when the engine is switched off.
