7.1 ATTENTIONS
 Follow the data provided in the load diagram. Never attempt to raise loads greater than those
permitted in the load charts supplied with the machine.
 Transport the load in low position with the telescopic boom fully retracted.
 Drive the truck at a speed suitable to the conditions and the state of the ground.
 When the truck is empty, travel with the telescopic boom lowered and fully retracted.
 Never go too fast or brake sharply with a load.
 When the load is lifted, check that no-one can get in the way of the operation and take care not to
carry out incorrect procedures.
 Never attempt operations which exceed the lift-truck’s capacity.
 Take care over electrical cables.
 Never leave the truck parked with a raised load.
 Never authorise anyone to approach or pass under the load.
 Always think of safety and only transport well balanced loads.
 Never leave the truck loaded with the parking brake engaged on gradients exceeding 15%.
 With the winch or equipment with a load hanging from the hook, always adopt the following
precautions:
 Position the winch perpendicular to the load to be lifted.
 The empty hook must be lowered slowly (gently) since if it is operated too quickly， the cable
wound round the drum may become slack, causing serious problems for the cable, the limit stop
device, etc.
 If the cable tends to become twisted around the block, release the fixed end hook, pull the cable in
the opposite direction until the twisting is eliminated, then re-connect the end unit.
 Operate the control lever gently to prevent jerking of the load and possible problems in the winding
of the cable onto the drum.
 Raise the load vertically, avoiding swaying and slanting lifting.
 Check the cable daily; if it is worn or damaged or has even one broken strand (see ISO 4309)
replace it immediately (contact your dealer).
 Check if the hydraulic hook raising and lowering limit stop is in good working order and if the
brake holds with load is applied.
 Oil the revolving part of the hook periodically.
 Check periodically that the cable is winding onto the drum correctly.
 The following accessories are not intended for systems of lifting or moving people.
 Before putting the winch or any other equipment in which the load hangs from a hook into service,
report it to the relative authority (ISPEL) in your zone for checking (for China only).
 Every year, remember to request your local health authority (USL) for a visit of inspection (Italy
only).
 Before putting the winch into operation on the lift-truck check that the machine is compatible and
that its safety system is set appropriately for the type of winch required.
 Incorrect setting of the safety system may put your safety at serious risk; if in doubt, do not hesitate
