Before using the machine, make sure that the mechanical
lock device of the turret is disabled (see figure aside).
To handle the machine in normal operating conditions,
follow the instructions given in chapter "USE
INSTRUCTIONS" under paragraph "Drive and steering”.
When the platform is completely lowered (booms down,
telescopic boom completely in and jib at a height between
+10° and –70° with respect to horizontal axis) the
machine can be handled (i.e. drive can be performed) at
different speeds to be freely selected by the user.
When the platform is lifted and exceeds a given height,
the enabled machines (see chapter “Technical Features)
can be driven at a reduced speed (automatically) up to the
height specified in chapter “Technical Features”.
WARNING!
Drive with lifted platform may be subject to different restrictions according to the country where the
machine is used. Find out about the legislative limits concerning this operation from the bodies of
Health and Safety at work.
It is absolutely forbidden to drive the machine when platform is lifted unless the ground is horizontal,
flat and steady.
Before carrying out any displacement operation, verify that no people are in proximity of the machine
and in any case proceed with the utmost caution.
Before handling the machine check that the connection plugs are disconnected from the power
supply source.
Check that there are no holes or steps on the floor and bear in mind machine overall dimensions.
If the machine, while driving with platform lifted, hits a hump or a hole (pot-hole guards lowered and
safety speed enabled), the machine will rest on one or both guards with no danger to the operator.
Now, if you lower the platform completely, and both drive wheels are lifted from the ground, the
machine might not be able to quit the lock condition with its own means. Emergency towing is
necessary (see par. "Emergency towing").
Do not use the machine to tow other vehicles.
Before steering and driving the machine, check the actual position of the rotating turret through the
relevant stickers on the chassis to achieve the correct movement direction.
While the machine is being displaced with lifted platform, no horizontal loads can be loaded onto the
platform (operators on board are not allowed to pull wires or ropes, etc.).
