Use and Maintenance Manual – Series X – XS E RESTYLING
6. HANDLING AND CARRYING
6.1 Handling
To handle the machine in normal operating conditions, follow the instructions given in chapter "USE INSTRUCTIONS" under
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.
When platform is lifted and exceeds a given height, machines with lowered pot-hole guards can be driven only at a lower speed
(automatically reduced) up to the height specified in chapter “Technical Features”.
It is important to make sure that the pot-hole guards function properly and there are no objects in the area where the device is
operating.
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.
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.
If the machine while travelling hits a hump or a hole with platform lifted (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 driving 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.
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.).
