CHAPTER 1 -- SAFETY FEATURES AND VEHICLE OPTIONAL SAFETY GENUINE SPARE PARTS

GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS

All maintenance on these machines must be carried out using original parts.

Only qualified and trained staff can use the Telehandler. Its use is subjected to a driving permit granted by the person in charge in the operator’s company and subject to local legislation.

By allowing use of non--original parts, you run a risk: -- Legally, of being liable in the event of an accident.

-- Technically, of causing breakdowns to occur or of reducing your machine service life.

The operator should always keep an updated driving permit during service.

Remember:

The driver is not competent to authorise driving of the Telehandler by another person.

Any user who procures parts from another quarter does so at his own risk.

Moreover, the use must be in conformity with accepted practice in the profession.

Any user who modifies his machine or has it modified by a service company, must accept the liability for such modification.

The operator who finds that the Telehandler is not in good working condition or does not comply with the safety instructions, must inform immediately the person in charge.

The certificate of compliance only binds the maker for parts chosen or produced under maker’s control.

The maker sets out the practicalities of maintenance terms. The maker is in no way liable to the event of the user not complying with such terms.

Using counterfeit parts or components not approved by the manufacturer will affect warranty terms and could lead the maker to withdraw the machine certificate of compliance.

The driver is forbidden to carry out any repair or adjustment by himself. He shall keep his Telehandler perfectly clean, if he is in charge of this.

A copy of the Operator’s Manual must always be in the machine, in the place provided and in the language understood by the driver.

IMPORTANT: Allowing your local approved dealer to maintain your machine, you are legally covering yourself and receive the benefits of: -----

Guaranteed quality of work.

Original replacement parts.

Help with preventive maintenance.

Effective help with diagnosing faults.

Only the manufacturer knows the details of the Telehandler design and therefore has the best technological capability to carry out maintenance.

The load diagram is meant for a machine on flat and stable ground. Avoid operating with loads on an unstable or sloping ground.

DRIVING ON ROADS OPEN TO PUBLIC TRAFFIC x

On these roads steering is admissible only on the front axle.

x

Loads shown on load diagrams must be reduced by the weight of possible attachments.

x

The arm must be lowered to allow resting on the special ledge.

x

Indications provided by the anti--overturning system must be considered valid for machines in standard operating conditions on flat and stable ground, and with a functioning and correctly calibrated instrument. In any case limit values on load diagrams must in no case be exceeded.

x

Install the fork guard.

x

Cab controls must be locked.

x

Set the forks in a symmetrical way with respect to the arm axis and uniformly distribute the load between the two forks.

x

When a load is handled, it is necessary to check its stability when driving uphill or downhill, operating, if necessary, on the fork tilt control to restore it to safe conditions.

x

Operations must all be performed with the minimum loader arm admissible under operating conditions.

CHAPTER 2 -- PERSONNEL PLATFORM Cab mounted controls To operate the personnel platform it is necessary to actuate the safety and operation selection key. It is located on the right side at the base of the steering column. Actuation key (1) allows the operation of the personnel platform and other hydraulic functions described by the Operation and Maintenance Manual of the machine. It is required that the two stabilisers are fully lowered and that their shoes rest on compact ground. Operate as follows: --

--

lower and adjust the position of the left stabiliser.

Press button (2) downward to lower the left stabiliser and press it upward to raise it.

lower and adjust the position of the right stabiliser. Press button (3) downward to lower the right stabiliser and press it upward to raise it.

WARNING To prevent the sudden tipping over of the machine with the relevant hazards for the welfare of personnel, the full lowering of the stabilisers on the ground is a compulsory condition. To operate the telescopic boom, it is necessary that the last operation performed by the stabilisers is lowering. In case the last operation performed is raising, the telescopic boom is inoperative.

Move the key into position A. This position inhibits the lifting of the stabilisers, the levelling operations of the vehicle and the selection of the steering mode. The control of the movements of the telescopic boom is transferred to the controls located on the platform. Consequently, all the functions relative to the boom and equipment from the cab are inhibited whereas on the platform, the telescopic boom lifting/lowering and extraction/retraction functions only are actuated.

CHAPTER 2 -- PERSONNEL PLATFORM MAINTENANCE A wrong or insufficient maintenance could make the machine dangerous for the operator and persons around it. Make sure that maintenance and lubrication are regularly performed in accordance with the prescriptions of the Manufacturer so that the machine stays in efficient and safe conditions.

Prior to using the personnel platform basket:

DANGER

1. Check the tightening of the general fixtures.

2. Check if any leakage of oil is present in joints and connections.

All the maintenance interventions on the platform must be performed with the engine inoperative, parking brake engaged, work organs fully resting on the ground and gearshift in neutral.

3. Check weekly the hydraulic dynamic system.

DANGER

4. Grease the points indicated.

Prior to starting any operation requiring the lifting of components, secure in a firm and safe manner the component lifted prior to performing any work.

DANGER Prior to performing any intervention on hydraulic lines or components make sure that no residual pressure remain in the system. For this purpose, after cutting--off the engine, and engaging the parking brake, actuate the control levers of the control valves (alternatively in the two directions) to discharge the pressure from the hydraulic system.
