3.2.2 Handling and displacements
• It is forbidden to drive on roads open to traffic. The machine is not approved for this purpose.
• Do not operate on soft ground to avoid the risk of instability and machine downtime. To avoid
overturning, it is necessary to comply with the maximum permissible slopes indicated in the chapter
relating to the technical characteristics of each model under the heading “Stability limits”;
• The machine is equipped with a self-levelling system, but in any case, it is necessary to move on
inclined surfaces with the utmost caution;
• As far as possible, on machines equipped with variable track width, always use the maximum track
when moving to reduce the risk of overturning;
• With the DYNAMIC LEVELILNG function active, if the main arm is lowered (between 0° and 5°) when
the machine is in TRANSPORT condition, when the translation control is activated, the control system
automatically activates the arm raising to increase the light on the ground under the jib and avoid
collisions with the ground. Pay attention to this automatic function, deactivating it if you are
operating in particularly low environments, under the threshold of a door, or when entering / exiting
containers, trucks and the like. The DYNAMIC LEVELLING function must be deactivated in case of risk
of collisions with aerial obstacles;
• With the PROACTIVE LEVELLING function active, when the main arm is raised, during the traction
manoeuvre encountering a slope, the manoeuvre stops automatically. When the traction control is
restarted, the extendable structure self-levels before allowing the traction to be restarted;
• With the platform out of the TRANSPORT position (the main arm raised up to a given height - see
technical data), the traction speed is automatically entered in safety speed up to a variable working
height (see working diagrams) beyond which traction is automatically inhibited. During the lifting
manoeuvre, the operators on board must not apply horizontal loads to the platform (it is forbidden to
pull ropes, cables, etc.);
• When moving, pay attention and avoid deep depressions in the ground and holes in the ground;
• While driving, do not change direction on curbs, rocks or large gradients (> 100 mm);
• Always tackle curbs or roughness with tracks perpendicular to the obstacle to be overcome;
• When driving uphill, do not steer when moving from flat terrain to slopes. If this is absolutely
necessary, carry out the manoeuvre gradually;
• Always make sure that both tracks are resting on the same plane so as not to damage the tracks;
• When proceeding over an obstacle and the track is resting only on the supporting rollers, there is a
risk that the track will come out of its seat. Command the movement with caution in these conditions;
• When changing direction in a situation where one of the tracks cannot move sideways due to obstacles,
the track may come out of its seat. Command the movement with caution in these conditions;
• Command the movement with the platform raised only if the ground is consistent;
• The electronic control during traction at height allows you to move safely on terrain where the slope
changes gradually. However, the system cannot prevent the machine from overturning in the event
of sudden changes in the slope of the ground or curbs;
• Before commanding the translation with both a low platform and a raised platform, check that all 4
ends of the tracks are resting on the ground. Otherwise, avoid commanding the translation and
repositioning the machine. The following image shows only some (not all) of the dangerous conditions
to avoid.
