MAN.243 Rev.5 ENG - Use and maintenance manual S28 page 74 of 138
➔ Before driving, check the tires wear state and the
correct inflation pressure;
➔ Drive with caution, respecting the highway code;
➔ Take the MEWP height overall dimensions into
consideration during circulation, in order to avoid
clashing against bridges, galleries, underpasses
and other obstacles;
Do not use the MEWP to perform drawing or
pushing operations;
Do not use the MEWP as an off-road vehicle;
➔ When parking in sloping roads, use the parking brake
and block the wheels with some wedges.
4.7.2 Before positioning the MEWP
➔ Carefully and chronologically follow the instructions
given in this manual;
Use the MEWP only with the environmental
operating conditions indicated in paragraph 4.1;
➔ Check that the staff allowed to use the MEWP is
skilled and trained, and that they know the
MEWP use and maintenance rules;
➔ Check that the safety devices are working and
efficient; some components (outriggers integrated
groups, max pressure valve on the turret), important
for the MEWP safety, are calibrated in C.M.C. plants
and the containers are sealed before delivering of
the MEWP to the customer.
It is strictly forbidden to tamper with such
components. The absence of the sealing within
the machine warranty terms causes the
immediate retraction of the warranty as well as
the accountability – by the user – of the liabilities
coming from an incorrect functioning of the safety
devices.
Do not remove or modify safety devices;
It is forbidden to modify, remove or replace any
MEWP component (ballasts, tires, batteries,
spare tire etc.): this operation could reduce the
machine weight thus impairing its stability;
➔ Wear all the protective cloths and the personal
safety devices:
helmets, safety shoes and - according to the type of
work - gloves, hearing protections, respirators, etc.;
