SECTION 1 -- SAFETY FEATURES AND VEHICLE OPTIONAL SAFETY
1-- 15
SUMMARY OF SAFETY RULES
For your safety always comply with the following
rules:
x Ensure that there is nobody within the machine
operating range.
x Do not stand or walk under the arm of the vehicle
x Before leaving your driving seat:
-- set the gear selector in neutral;
-- apply the parking brake;
-- stop the engine.
x Never lift loads greater than those shown on the
carrying capacity diagram on the lifter. The oper-
ator must first assess the size of the load to be
lifted.
x The load diagram is meant for a machine on flat
and stable ground. Avoid operating with loads on
an unstable or sloping ground.
x Loads shown on load diagrams must be reduced
by the weight of possible attachments.
x Indications provided by the anti--overturning sys-
tem must be considered valid for machines in
standard operating conditions on flat and stable
ground, and with a functioning and correctly cali-
brated instrument. In any case limit values on
load diagrams must in no case be exceeded.
x Set the forks in a symmetrical way with respect
to the arm axis and uniformly distribute the load
between the two forks.
x When a load is handled, it is necessary to check
its stability when driving uphill or downhill, oper-
ating, if necessary, on the fork tilt control to
restore it to safe conditions.
x Operations must all be performed with the mini-
mum loader arm admissible under operating
conditions.
x To lift a load it is recommended to raise the arm
first and then operate the loader arm extension.
In a similar way, to lower a load, first pull in the
extension, and then lower the arm.
x Avoid load lifting and transport operations over
working or transit areas. Should this not be poss-
ible, give proper sound warnings.
x When the machine is travelling, no manoeuvre of
the load is allowed. The handling of materials
must be performed with the boom lowered and all
the slides retracted.
x Maximum admissible speed with a suspended
load is 5 km/h: it is therefore necessary to restrict
hydraulic and mechanical operation speed.
DRIVING ON ROADS OPEN TO PUBLIC
TRAFFIC
x On these roads steering is admissible only on the
front axle.
x The arm must be lowered to allow resting on the
special ledge.
x Install the fork guard.
x Cab controls must be locked.
USE OF THE ATTACHMENTS
x Reduce the loads shown on the load diagram by
the weight of the attachments used.
x The centre of gravity must be that of the load plus
the attachments.
USE OF THE LOADING BUCKET
x When using the lifter with a loading bucket, the
bucket filling operation must be performed with
the loader arm extension fully retracted.
USING THE VEHICLE AS A CRANE
x Do not lift loads that are not properly placed in
slings.
x Do not start or stop the machine with a jerk.
x Avoid load oscillations and especially allowing
the load to hang outside the pulling vertical line.
x Avoid oblique pulls and towing.
WARNING
It is absolutely forbidden to tamper with or change the
calibration values of the hydraulic system compo-
nents.
