1.4 - INTRODUCTION
The service instructions outlined in this manual are an integral part of the machine supply contract.
These instructions are also addressed to operators already specifically trained to operate this kind
of machinery and contain all the information necessary and essential for safe operation and for the
correct/optimal use of the machine. Hurried and incomplete preparations may lead to improvisation
and this is the cause of many accidents;
Before starting work, carefully read and thoroughly observe the following advice:
• Become familiar confident with all permissible operations and operating positions before starting to
operate the machine;
• The operator must always have the instruction manual available at all times;
• Plan each intervention carefully;
• Obtain all the information necessary for machine road transport, such as distance, itinerary, height
of level crossings, height of bridges, etc.;
• Be knowledgeable about where and how the machine should be operated: ground bearing weight,
necessary outreach, mobility limitation due to the presence of buildings, power lines and similar;
• Before starting to work, make sure that the safety devices are working properly and there is no
uncertainty regarding their operation; if this is not the case, do not use the machine under any
circumstances;
• When travelling by road, respect all the regulations and requirements in force on road traffic
circulation;
• Carefully read the warnings relating to special hazards contained in this manual;
• Constant and thorough preventive maintenance always guarantees high operational safety of
the machine. Never put off necessary repairs and ensure they are performed exclusively by
specialised personnel, using only original spare parts.
