The AB38 is fitted with a load sensing system designed to comply with the requirements of BS EN 280:
2001
If a load equivalent to 90% of safe working load is lifted a fault code "03" will be displayed on the digital
display on the platform control box. If a load which is greater than the safe working load is present in the
basket all machine functions will cease to operate and an acoustic warning will sound. In order to return
to normal operation a load equal to or less than the safe working load must be present in the basket and
the power must be re-cycled, power can be re-cycled by pushing the emergency stop button and
releasing it again.
