paragraph "Drive and steering”.
When platform is completely lowered (or within a given height according to specific needs and further to checks) the machine can
be handled (i.e. drive can be performed) at different speeds to be freely selected by the user.
With platform at a given height, the drive speed is automatically limited, and cannot be changed.
The section TECHNICAL FEATURES indicates the limits concerning drive for each model.
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
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.
Backward drive (in the direction of the fixed wheels) does not allow the operator a complete visibility from
the control position. This operation shall be carried out with the utmost care.
Before handling the machine check that the connection plugs are disconnected from the power supply
source.
Check that there are no holes and/or steps on the floor and bear in mind machine overall dimensions.
Do not use the machine to tow other vehicles.
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.).
