SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT

We would like to draw the operators' attention to the risks involved in using the machine, in particular:
- Risk of losing control.
- Risk of loss of lateral and frontal stability of the machine.
The operator must remain in control of the machine.
In the event of the machine overturning, do not try to leave the cab during the incident.
YOUR BEST PROTECTION IS TO STAY FASTENED IN THE CAB.
- Observe the company’s traffic regulations or, by default, the public highway code.
- Do not carry out operations which exceed the capacities of your machine or attachment.
- Only carry loads which are balanced and properly anchored to avoid any risk of a load falling off.
- Ensure that pallets, cases, etc, are in good order and suitable for the load to be lifted.
- Familiarize yourself with the machine on the terrain where it will be used.
- Ensure that the service brakes are working properly.
- The loaded machine must not travel at speeds in excess of 12km/h.
- Drive smoothly at an appropriate speed for the operating conditions (land configuration, load on the machine).
- Do not use the hydraulic boom controls when the machine is moving.
- Never change the steering mode whilst driving.
- Do not maneuver the machine with the boom in the raised position unless under exceptional circumstances and then
with extreme caution, at very low speed and using gentle braking. Ensure that visibility is adequate.
- Take bends slowly.
- In all circumstances make sure you are in control of your speed.
- On damp, slippery or uneven terrain, drive slowly.
- Brake gently, never abruptly.
- Only use the machine’s forward/reverse selector from a stationary position and never do so abruptly.
- Do not drive with your foot on the brake pedal.
- Always remember that hydrostatic type steering is extremely sensitive to movement of the steering wheel, so turn it
gently and not jerkily.
- Never leave the engine on when the lift truck is unattended.
- Do not leave the cab when the machine has a raised load.
- Look where you are going and always make sure you have good visibility along the route.
- Use the rear-view mirrors frequently.
- Drive round obstacles.
- Never drive on the edge of a ditch or steep slope.
- It is dangerous to use two machines simultaneously to handle heavy or bulky loads, since this operation requires particular
precautions to be taken. It must only be used exceptionally and after risk analysis.
- The ignition switch has an emergency stop mechanism in case of an operating anomaly occurring in the case of machines
not fitted with a punch-operated cut-out.
