This Ruthmann Steiger T 230.2 Operating and Maintenance Instructions is far more than a basic operator’s booklet. It is the complete technical documentation set for the T 230.2 elevating work platform, bringing together mechanical descriptions, hydraulic schematics, electrical wiring diagrams, maintenance schedules, torque specifications, diagnostic fault codes, and safety procedures into a single 591-page reference. The document is structured so that every phase of ownership is supported — from the initial commissioning checks and jacking procedures through to the annual technical expert inspection and long-term maintenance planning. The chapters on control elements and displays walk through the RUTHMANN Cockpit, the STABILIZING JACK CONTROL panels, and the EMERGENCY CONTROL operator panel in detail, while the operation chapter covers every permitted boom, Rüssel, telescope, and platform movement with the conditions that must be met before each is released. The maintenance chapter is particularly extensive, with a full inspection and routine maintenance list keyed to daily, 300-hour, 600-hour, and annual intervals, plus lubrication points, tightening torques for bolted connections, valve torque tables, hydraulic hose replacement intervals, and step-by-step procedures for the swivelling drive, hydraulic pump, ball bearing slewing ring, and work platform. For troubleshooting, the elimination of malfunctions chapter provides a fault-code index with possible causes and remedial actions for control-related problems, sensor faults, hydraulic issues, and electrical errors.

What This Manual Enables

With the Ruthmann Steiger T 230.2 Operating and Maintenance Instructions on hand, a technician or operator can correctly jack and level the machine for full, one-sided, or in-profile stabilizing jack configurations; set up and operate the boom, Rüssel, telescope, and work platform through the RUTHMANN Cockpit; perform emergency lowering using the manual pump or the emergency control system in extreme cases; diagnose and clear fault messages from the error memory; carry out daily, 300-hour, 600-hour, and annual inspection routines; and reference the hydraulic and electrical diagrams needed for component-level repair. The manual also covers the special equipment variants — insulation to DIN VDE 0682-742 for work near live components up to AC 1000 V and DC 1500 V, programmable telescope extension limitation, fully variable stabilizing jacks, and operation without stabilizing jacks — so owners of machines with those options have the relevant procedures documented.

Why It Matters

The T 230.2 is a group B / type 2 mobile elevating work platform with a 23 m work height, a 21 m platform height, and a maximum carrying capacity of 350 kg. Operating it outside the specified procedures — incorrect jacking, exceeding the permissible jacking inclination, bypassing the load moment limitation, or ignoring the wind speed limit of 12.5 m/s — puts the platform personnel and the machine at risk. The manual specifies the exact conditions, limits, and safety distances that must be observed, and it documents the torque values and service limits that keep the machine within its design parameters. For anyone responsible for the safe operation, inspection, or repair of a Ruthmann Steiger T 230.2, this document is the reference that the manufacturer intends to accompany the machine through its working life.
