▪ Through a lift truck of a suitable capacity (see machine weight in table “Technical features” at the beginning of this
manual) equipped with forks having at least the same length as the machine width. Insert the forks as indicated by
the stickers on the machine. Should these stickers be not available, DO NOT lift the machine by means of a lift
truck. Lifting the machine by means of a lift truck is a dangerous operation, which must be carried out by qualified
operators only.
After placing the machine onto the carrying vehicle, fasten it by means of the same holes used for
lifting. To avoid breaking the platform overload controller, thus causing the machine to stop, DO
NOT fix the machine to the vehicle base by tying the platform (any model) or the last lifting boom.
Lock the turret by means of the mechanical safety lock device as specified in the previous
chapters.
Before carrying the machine check the stability grade. The platform must be fully lowered and the
platform extension must be in retracted position to ensure adequate stability during the entire
operation.
6.3. Emergency towing of the machine
In the event of a fault, carry out the following
operations to tow the machine:
1. Hook the machine to the provided holes.
2. Completely screw the threaded dowels at
the centre of the reduction gears by means
of an 8 mm hexagonal wrench.
3. Tow at a very slow speed (remember that
when the machine is being towed, brakes
are out of order).
To resume the normal operation, set back the
machine to initial conditions.

Tow at a very slow speed (remember that when the machine is being towed, brakes are out of order).
Tow only on a flat ground.
Do not park the machine without brakes on.
With the brakes off, put wedges under the wheels to prevent the machine from moving accidentally.
