The emergency descent procedure of the basket can be actuated from the basket itself only if the machine electric plant is not compromised; act in the following way:

1 Hold down button 4 on the remote control

Emergency descent from the ground

Emergency descent in the case where the stabilisers are accidentally retracted

While it is recommended to follow the instructions provided in the paragraph on
stabilizing the machine, for various reasons one of the stabilizers may lose contact
with the ground, thus changing the angle of the machine or causing a foot plate
to lift from the ground. If this occurs when the machine is at a height, movements
are stopped and disabled immediately. To restore operation of the platform (close
the aerial part and then stabilize the machine again) the electrical emergency de
scent function can be used, which involves only the return of the aerial part. If this
is not possible due to the presence of objects that interfere with the operation, per
sonnel on the ground can allow the operator in the basket to close the machine.
The operators on the ground can bypass the machineʹs safety devices and allow
the operator in the basket to close the machine or allow the manual operations as
described in the previous paragraphs, in order to bring the operator back to the
ground.
