3.3.1 Driving Position
During the driving of the machine and during the work, is necessary utilize the
footrest platform in open position, always (see fig. 17), to prevent risks. Close the
footrest platform only after use.
•
Pull the safety pin spring that locks the platform;
•
Turn the footrest to the horizontal position;
•
Pay attention to the spring pin, make sure that it fits into the hole.
When the machine is in gear, always grasp the stronghold handle firmly with one hand
and use the other hand simultaneously to activate both drive levers.
Never release the handle to operate the command levers with both hands.
DANGER: When the machine is in gear, the operator must always maintain
the prescribed driving position.
Never speed when working, rather proceed at a speed adjusted to your walking
speed, in this way you will maintain a safe control over the commands.

To allow the machine to advance one must activate both drive levers
simultaneously by pushing them forward. Avoid addressing downhill slopes in
forward gear, refer to the paragraph: “Travel- ling on Slopes”.
3.3.3 Reverse Gear
To allow the machine to back up you must activate both drive levers, pulling them
back simultaneously. Avoid addressing uphill slopes in reverse gear, especially with
a loaded machine, rather follow the procedure described in the paragraph:
“Travelling on Slopes” .
DANGER: While in reverse gear, always check to see that there are no obsta-
cles and/or persons in the vicinity.
3.3.4 Travelling on Slopes
DANGER: Completely avoid working on terrains that have lateral slopes of
more than 10° and longitudinal slopes of more than 20° to avoid the possi-
bility of overturning with serious consequences for the safety of the opera-
tor.
