General Information
4.2
Controls & Indicators
The access system is operated via controls located inside the cab and at ground level.
The access system is a three stage electric-overhydraulic folding system. The access system utilises a 24V DC hydraulic power pack coupled with a manifold of hydraulic sequence valves and pilot operated check valves to drive and control the hydraulic cylinders that raise and lower the access system.

System Prerequisites
To allow use of the access system: 1. The battery disconnect switch is connected. 2. The park brake is applied. 3. The crane superstructure and car body are in-line. 4. The access system is free from personnel before operating the controls. 5. The ladder is fully lowered with the handrails raised. 6. All handrails have raised including the ladder

First stage of lowering – both deck handrails raise.
Third stage of lowering – ladder lowers and handrails raise.
2. Access system ladder slides out from underneath the deck. 4.5.1 Mounting Procedure Do not attempt to access the machine whilst the crane or car body are moving or whilst another operator is in the machine and the engine running. Refer to applicable mine site regulations for approaching machines.
To mount the machine using the access system: 1. Ensure that the battery disconnect switch is in the connected position. Refer to the machine specific Operation and Maintenance Manual for location and operation of the battery disconnect switch. 2. Ensure the access system is illuminated when mounting in low light conditions. Second stage of lowering – ladder slides out from underneath deck.

Crane Use Including Slew Brake
During stair lowering an audible alarm will sound to indicate the stairs are moving. 4. Ensure the access system is illuminated when dismounting in low light conditions. 5. Exit the cab and make a visual inspection to ensure the access system has lowered. 6. Dismount the machine maintaining three point contact at all times.
To ensure that the crane is not driven with the access system in the down position there are audible and visual alarms. Upon release of the park brake if the audible and visual alarms are activated reapply the park brake and ensure that the access system is in the fully raised position. Do not drive the crane or operate the superstructure if the alarms are activated as there may be personnel accessing the

Before performing maintenance on this machine ensure it has been isolated in accordance with mine site and manufacturer procedures and a Do Not Start Tag has been applied in the appropriate location on the machine.
leak. Escaping fluid under pressure, even a pinhole size leak, can penetrate body tissue, causing serious injury, and possible death. If fluid is injected into your skin, a doctor preferably familiar with this type of injury must treat it immediately. 5.1.2 Crushing & Cutting Prevention
Disconnection of hoses and removal of supporting pins and bolts of the access system may result in unintended machine movement and/or release of stored energy. Personal injury or death may result. Before disassembly of any components of the access system ensure that stored energy has been relieved and components are chocked/blocked to prevent unintended movement.
Do not disconnect any hydraulic hoses unless the access platforms are fully lowered. In any position other than fully lowered the access system hydraulics will be pressurised. Releasing this pressure WILL result in uncontrolled movement of the access platform. Do not work on the access system unless you have read and understand the instructions and warnings in the Operation and Maintenance Manual. Failure to follow the instructions or heed the warnings could result in injury or death. Contact Australian Diversified Engineering for replacement manuals. Proper care is your responsibility.
NOTICE You must read and understand the warnings and instructions contained in the Safety Section of this manual, before performing any maintenance procedures.

5.1.4 Hydraulic Hoses
Damage of access system hydraulic hoses, tubes or pipes from welding on or near them can result in uncontrolled movement of the access platform or fire. Do not work on this machine unless you have read and understand the instructions and warnings in the Operation and Maintenance Manual. Failure to follow the instructions or heed the warnings could result in injury or death. Contact Australian Diversified Engineering for replacement manuals. Proper care is your responsibility.
