GENERAL SAFETY REGULATIONS
The following symbols are used to indicate any potentially hazardous situations. Always read this
information carefully and take the necessary precautions to protect any people and/or objects that
may be present.
Operator cooperation is paramount for accident prevention. No accident prevention programme
can be eective without the full cooperation of the person directly responsible for the machine's
operation. Most accidents that occur at the workplace, during work activities, or while in transit, are
caused by the failure to respect the most basic safety regulations. An attentive, careful operator is
most eective guarantee against accidents and is fundamental in order to implement any prevention
programme.
DANGER: Indicates an imminent danger that could cause serious injury or death.
WARNING: Indicates a probable dangerous situation that could cause serious injury or death.
CAUTION: Indicates a probable dangerous situation that could cause minor injuries.
ATTENTION: Indicates a probable dangerous situation that could damage objects.
RECHARGING THE BATTERIES
DANGER:
• If the battery charger power cable is damaged or broken, it must be replaced by the battery
charger manufacturer; by an authorized Service Centre personnel or a qualied person in order
to avoid hazards.
• The socket for the battery charger cable must have a prescribed earth connection.
• Keep sparks, ames, and incandescent materials at a safe distance from the batteries. Explosive
gases are emitted during normal use.
• highly explosive hydrogen gas is generated while charging the batteries. Keep the seat mounting
plate in the maintenance position during the entire battery recharging cycle, and only carry out
the procedure in well-ventilated areas and at a safe distance from any open ames.
• Before charging check that the electric cable that connects the battery charger to the batteries
is not damaged, and if it is damaged do not use it and contact technical assistance.
• Before charging check that the electric cable that connects the battery charger to the mains is
not damaged, and if it is damaged do not use it and contact technical assistance.
• Do not disconnect the direct current cable of the battery charger from the socket of the machine
when the battery charger is operating. This is necessary in order to avoid electric arcs forming.
To disconnect the battery charger when it is charging, rst disconnect the alternating current
power cable.
WARNING:
• Do not use incompatible battery chargers since they could damage the batteries and potentially
cause a re.
• Before using the battery charger, make sure that the frequency and the voltage values indicated
on the machine's data plate coincide with the network's values.
