INSTRUCTION FOR AUTOMATIC LEVELLING SYSTEM FOR OUTRIGGERS

Before beginning the levelling, please read carefully the following instructions, notes and warnings
and make 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
obstacles above the booms.
• Before using the automatic levelling be sure there is enough room to extend all outriggers
and the ground is hard enough to withstand outrigger footplate pressure.
• Always use separate ground plates under the outriggers.
• When using the automatic levelling make sure that there are no people around the working
area of the outriggers.
• When levelling the unit on a slope, check that the rear of the unit does not touch the ground
when the front is raising.
• When using the automatic levelling, pay attention to what is happening around the unit and
stop the process immediately if it seems to lead into a dangerous situation.
• The vertical cylinders of the outriggers move automatically without warning when the
automatic levelling is in use. It is very dangerous to be near the outriggers!
• Check always that the tyres are off the ground after levelling.
• IN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS YOU CAN STOP THE AUTOMATIC LEVELLING SYS-
TEM AND THE ENGINE OF THE CHASSIS BY PUSHING THE EMERGENCY STOP
PUSH BUTTON OF THE CENTRAL UNIT.
• Accident damage to bodywork: The sensors for the automatic levelling are located at the
outrigger control center. If the vehicle is in an accident that may damage the rear panel
area, it is important that the sensors are checked / recalibrated. It is extremely important
when the unit is to be left "on the run" until it can have the bodywork repaired. The sensors
will be routinely checked during the annual service.
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.
• It is forbidden to use the remote control of the air-suspension in the cabin when the unit is
standing on the outriggers.
• When the unit is levelled, the air bellows must be empty except for the residual pressure.
• Do not change the programmed driving height.
• Before levelling the unit, make sure that the vehicle is on the correct driving height.

LEVELLING SYSTEM
OPERATION OF AUTOMATIC LEVELLING SYSTEM
OUTRIGGERS TO OPERATING POSITION:

1. Engage hydraulic "PTO" in the cabin. The main electric power will be switched ON
automatically.
2. Turn the selector switch for hydraulic (8) into desired position.
3. Switch ON the automatic levelling system by push button (2). The signal light turns on.
• The axle lock of the unit will be locked automatically, if mounted.
4. Extend the outriggers on both sides to the allowed maximum position by pushing the push
button of the remote control device. Automatic levelling stops immediately, when you
release the push-button of the remote control device.
5. Place the outrigger plywood groundplates under jacks.
6. Start the automatic levelling: lower vertical jacks by pushing continuously the push button
for vertical movement of the remote control device. The automatic levelling lowers the ver-
tical outriggers thus raising the front of the vehicle by the programmed height and finally the
vehicle levels horizontally. Check visually that all the tyres are off the ground. If not,
push again continuously the vertical movement push button. When the unit has levelled it-
self, check that the tyres are off the ground. Repeat this until all the tyres are off the
ground. When the ground pressure of the outriggers is sufficient, the respective symbols
appear on the display. Finally make sure that the unit is levelled horizontally within ±0,2°
crosswise and lengthwise.
7. "Booms ready for lifting" - symbol appears on the display.

8. Switch off the automatic levelling by push button (2). The signal light turns off.
• NOTE! Never leave the levelling on.
If the automatic levelling fails or interrupts, repeat the levelling. If this fails, use the manual operation
of the outriggers to level the unit. See separate instructions. If the levelling frequently fails, please
contact Bronto Skylift Service.
OUTRIGGERS TO TRANSPORT POSITION:

1. Switch ON the automatic levelling system by push button (2) . The signal light turns on.
2. Push the "outriggers to transport position" -push button continuously (buzzer), until all out-
riggers are fully lifted up and retracted in. The axle lock of the unit will be automatically
unlocked, if mounted.
• NOTE! When the vertical outriggers raise, the vehicle lowers. Make sure there is
nothing under the vehicle. The horizontal outriggers beams move inwards without
prior notice.
3. "Ready for transportation" - symbol appears on the display.
5. Turn off the selector switch for hydraulic (8) into position 0.
6. Disengage hydraulic "PTO" in the cabin. The main electric power will be switched OFF
automatically.

23
USING GROUNDPLATES
If the slope is so steep that the outrigger cylinder stroke is not long enough to level the unit, a
maximum 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 the
groundplates nor the groundplates slide on the ground. Ice, sand, stones,
dirt, mud etc. reduce the friction between ground and groundplate. The
operator is responsible for safe levelling of the unit.

Automatic ladder rung alignment. With non-opening/closing hand rails
(Fire units only):
• When the button is pushed once in working cage or at
turntable, the ladder rung alignment is activated, telescoping in
and out is slowed down and "Ladder rungs in line" symbol is
blinking.
• When the ladder rungs are in line, the telescoping in and out is
completely stopped and the symbol "Ladder rungs in line" is
stable.
• When joystick for telescoping in / out is moved back to middle
position and rungs are in line, the automatic ladder rung
alignment is switched off automatically.
• Ladder rung alignment can be switched off also by pushing the
ladder rung alignment button second time in working cage or at
turntable.

OPERATION OF BOOMS AND ROTATION MOVEMENTS

All movements can be controlled simultaneously or one by one from the turntable or cage control
panel. Drive the arm movements evenly and smoothly in order to avoid unpleasant sudden stops and
unnecessary dynamic forces. Also avoid unnecessary driving of the booms against their extreme
positions. When you use the control levers, activate the hydraulic pressure by pushing the foot pedal.
The control levers must be in the middle position before pushing the foot pedal.
When elevating or lowering the booms, follow this order:
ELEVATING BOOMS
1. Elevate the 1st boom from its support.

Open slightly the cage boom so that the
rotation movements become possible.
The potential cabin protection might
limit the opening of the cage boom.
1
2. Open the cage boom further and now 2
also the telescopic movements become
possible.
3. Now the telescopic, rotation, 1st and
cage boom movements can all be
operated.
• All movements which could cause
the working cage to move beyond its
permitted working range are
prevented during normal operation.
• Note! When you lift the arms from the
transport support, the cage boom
will automatically tighten against the 1st boom.
LOWERING BOOMS
Before lowering the booms, make sure that the water jet, rescue platform, railings of the 1st boom
and cage boom are turned to the transport position and the working cage into middle position. Rotate
the 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.
33

(if the lift has a telescoping cage
boom ) into transport position. The
symbol will illuminate on the screen. 4.
3. Retract completely the telescopic
sections of the 1st boom.
4. Close the cage boom against the 1st
boom.
5. Rotate the booms into the middle
position (arrow symbols disappear).
6. The booms can be lowered when arrow "down" illuminates in the "transport support" -
symbol.
7. Tighten the 1st boom (movement 6) until the "down" arrow disappears.
34
LADDER
The push button "ladder" situated in the turntable and working cage control panels has two functions:
• ladder rung alignment of the 1. boom and the cage boom
• opening / closing of the ladder rails of the cage boom and opening / closing of the
extra step of the jib boom
NOTE! Before moving the arms, make sure that there is nobody or nothing on the ladder
section that might be compressed.
1. Ladder rung alignment of the 1. boom and the cage boom
Push the button "ladder" in the turntable or in the working cage shortly:
• ladder rung alignment activates
• the following symbol is blinking on the screen:
Drive the telescope of the 1. boom in or out, the telescoping will stop when the ladder rung is aligned.
The symbol "ladder 1" burns.
Drive the telescope of the cage boom in or out, the telescoping of the cage boom stops when the
ladder rung is aligned. The symbol "ladder 2" burns.
When both the 1. boom and the cage boom ladder rungs are aligned, a green signal light beside the
"ladder" push button will be enlightened.
The ladder rung alignment locking is opened when you return the control lever of the respective
movement back to the middle position.
The symbols "ladder 1" and/or "ladder 2" are enlightened always when the ladder rungs of the
respective arm are aligned.
2. Opening / closing of the cage boom ladder rails and the extra step of the jib boom
When you push the button "ladder" for a longer period, the cage boom ladder rails and the extra step
of the jib boom will open.
NOTE! It is not possible to open them in all the positions of the arms.
NOTE! When the ladder rails are open, there are limits in the movements of the arms.
Push the "ladder" -button another time for a longer period, the cage boom rails and the extra step of
the jib boom close. You can close them in all the positions of the arms.
WARNINGS:
It is not allowed to stay on the ladders when booms are being moved.
It is not allowed to stay on the ladders of the jib arm or cage boom when they are being driven
open / close.
Risk of compression of fingers and toes!
The ladders, ladder rails and extra step of the jib arm will tighten automatically when the
booms are being driven into transport position. Make sure that there is nothing between the
ladders / ladder rails / extra step.
Risk of compression of fingers and toes!
35
NOTE! The movements of the ladder rails are fast!

RECOMMENDATION:
Open the ladder rails and the extra step of the jib boom only when the working cage is at the
destination of the work. Close the ladder rails and the extra step before moving the arms.

BRONTO+ ELECTRONIC SYSTEM

GENERAL
The Bronto+ Electronic System makes it possible to leave outriggers to any position, and to select
the working cage load according to the working situation. With these variabilities the system
automatically 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. Because
of 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 in
real-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 and
the outreach is controlled automatically by the system.
SAFETY
Operational safety is the most important part of Bronto+ Electronic System. One part of safety is
easy-to-use. Safety of Bronto+ Electronic System is based on the valid standards of the European
Union, every point is well considered and designed, even the smallest one. It has a wide testing
program and very high quality of the components. In the Bronto+ Electronic System system all
electrical components are doubled.
DISPLAY
The system includes three full colour displays situated in the outrigger centre, at the turntable and
in the working cage. All essential information can be seen on the display units.
SECTORS
The working area of the boom rotation is divided into 6 sectors;
• front right
• right side
• rear right
• rear left
• left side
• front left
The size of each sector will be defined automatically based on the position of the outriggers.

yellow signal light illuminates the working cage is approaching
its maximum outreach (also some movements are slowed
down).
• If only yellow light is blinking, not less than two outriggers have
too 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 all
movements are stopped.
• If only red light illuminates and the buzzer alarms continuously,
the working cage is overloaded comparing to selected cage
load.
• When the red warning light illuminates the working cage has
reached its maximum outreach (also some movements are
stopped).
• When the buzzer in the display alarms continuously the
maximum outreach is passed or the working cage is
overloaded.
• When the buzzer alarms in cycles, there is a failure in the
outreach control system.

essential, when contacting Bronto Skylift. The start screen disappears automatically and the system
goes into the main screen on the turntable (not in XW-industrial serie) and working cage panel. In the
outrigger centre, outrigger screen will be taken into use.
OUTRIGGER SCREEN (ONLY IN OUTRIGGER CENTRE)
The outriggers can be positioned freely according to the working situation by using the push buttons
/ control levers of the outriggers. The system takes account of the outrigger positions and
immediately shows the maximum possible outreach to different directions with the selected cage
load.
The selected outrigger position automatically defines the values for boom rotation and the sizes of
the sectors.
Operating of the booms is not possible before the outrigger support is sufficient and the axle lock is

CAGE LOAD SELECTION

When main power is switched on, the system automatically selects the maximum cage load
(operation with the cage boom telescope is possible) if the booms are in the transport position.
The cage load can be changed by using display units. The selection can be done in the outrigger
center, at turntable or in working cage. The chosen cage load can be seen on the display by clear
symbols and also as numbers in selected format, current cage load is shown by graphical bar.
The cage load can be changed even if the booms are not in transport position, provided that the cage
load change is generally possible.
If the selection is made in the outrigger center, the system shows automatically maximum outreach
to all directions with the selected cage load and outrigger positions. If the cage load is changed at
turntable or in working cage, the system shows maximum outreach to all directions and additionally
outreach diagram in the present direction of the booms.
Overload is controlled by sensor. If the working cage is overloaded in comparison with the selected
cage load, the cage load symbol will flash and a continuous buzzer signal can be heard. At the same
time boom movements are slowed down and outward boom movements are stopped.

DO THE FOLLOWING TO GET BOOMS BACK TO TRANSPORT POSITION IN CASE OF

FAILURE:
1. Push MULTI-button and keep it pushed.

2. Use manual cage levelling if the cage levelling does not operate.
3. Push RMP-button / pedal or use the battery pump.
4. Move the booms back to transport position by using control levers in following sequence:
5. Rotate the booms to the center line of the truck (the booms to the front). Use emergency
bleed down to lower the booms back to transport support. At the same time push MULTI-
button and RMP-button/pedal or use the battery pump. If the cage levelling does not
operate, use manual cage levelling.
• Note! In case of failure, the turntable slewing operates only when the
telescope is fully in and the cage boom is in transport position. Slewing is

When all the movements are in locked position (memory position) and you
release JOYSTICK_RPM, lock-symbol opens and the background of the
symbol turns grey (see below).
73
If 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 the
memory. The symbol on the left appears. It is not possible to erase the memory
until JOYSTICK_RPM is loose.
If the both memory points are saved into the memory, it is possible to drive
between these points. Select first the point you want to reach first (for example
F4) and then the second point (F5). Background of the both symbols turns blue
and the arrow between the symbols shows the point where to go first. Also the
blue 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 you
release the JOYSTICK_RPM, the system selects the second point
automatically. You can cancel the operation by pushing one of the function
keys (F4 or F5).

POWER MANAGEMENT (BATTERY VOLTAGE CONTROL)
There is a control of the battery voltage mounted in the working lights’ circuits. The circuits defined
by the user (11, 12, 21, 22, 31 and 32) turn off in case the voltage level of the battery goes below
the set value. The lights turn back on automatically (in case they were on) when the voltage level
exceeds the set level. This function aims to keep the voltage level of the battery high enough to start
the motor of the vehicle and yet to secure the adequate working lighting.
When starting the motor normally, the working lights stay on, even though the voltage temporarily
goes below the set value.
In the user pages 7-1-3 it is possible to set a separate barrier voltage for each working light circuit,
after which voltage the circuit involved turns off.
Numbering is as in the description above.
The typical lowest distance starting voltage of the vehicle’s motor is about 21V, but it can also be
lower, depending on the settings of the vehicle.
Barrier voltage of the alarm lights’ turn off (option).
Barrier voltage of the lift’s blinking lights (outriggers, turntable,

working cage) turn off.
In case you want the battery voltage control not to be in use in some circuit, push the "arrow down"
-button in the control panel until you see OFF in the circuit wished.
92
LIFTING EYES (OPTIONAL)
There are two lifting eyes on the booms. One of the lifting eye is at the end of the 1st boom. The max.
lifting capacity of this eye is 2000 kg. The other lifting eye is at the working cage support (optional).
The max. lifting capacity of this eye is 540 kg. The lifting capacities of the eyes are shown on the
stickers next to the eyes.
1st boom lifting eye:

• When using the lifting eye at the end of the 1st boom, the operator must pay attention to
the following points:
• The maximum lifting capacity is 2000 kg.
• When using the lifting eye the working cage must be empty.
• Telescopic movement of the 1st boom must be fully retracted.
• The 2nd boom must be fully elevated.
• The operating side outriggers must be fully extended.
Working cage lifting eye (optional):

• When using the lifting eye at the working cage support the following warnings must be
noted:
• The maximum lifting capacity is 540 kg = max. cage load.
• The maximum lifting capacity depends on the cage load.
• Note! The working cage overload sensor will not sense the lifting mass,
when RPM is activated.
• Note! It is not allowed to use both lifting eyes at the same time.
93
WATER SYSTEM
Water is supplied through a 2½" 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, 2½" outlet with a shut-off valve, and a protective
water curtain below the cage floor.
The water monitor is controlled with electric remote control (option) which is coupled to outlets loca-
ted at the working cage and the turntable control station. An extension cord can 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 of the 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
pumping device, supply pressure is not allowed to exceed 16 bar.
Before supplying water to the system ensure that the monitor water valve is open,
then slowly 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
completely, this is to prevent compressing of possible ice build ups between the
telescopic sections.
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.
