- attEntion
The vehicle should be used exclusively by competent, au-
thorised personnel who have thoroughly read this manual
and have been adequately trained as reported in chapter B
“General warnings”. If the vehicle is to be used on roads, the
operator must have a valid, category B driver’s licence, or
higher in accordance with Italian law.

Do not use the vehicle if you are under the effect of alcohol,
drugs or if you have taken medication that may make you
drowsy or alter your reflexes.
- attEntion
Before operating the vehicle or before carrying out com-
plicated or dangerous manoeuvres, it is essential that you
practice in an empty, unobstructed part of the site.
- attEntion
Clear, simple symbols are located near all controls for con-
venience purposes and to make them easier to understand
for the operator.
- attEntion
When diagonal steering has been selected, always proceed
at a low speed.

Should any potentially hazardous parts be damaged, stop
the vehicle immediately. Do not resume operation of the ve-
hicle until the problem has been resolved.

Follow the instructions provided in this manual for correct
tyre inflation. Do not weld or cut the rims; repair work should
only be carried out by a qualified tyre repair shop.

- attEntion
The operator must only operate vehicle and its commands
when properly seated in the driver’s seat.

The telescopic lift described in this manual cannot be used
in closed spaces or anywhere where there might be explo-
sive gases. To operate in closed spaces, the Manufacturer
must be contacted so that the necessary modifications can
be made to the vehicle.
- attEntion
Working on a slope may be dangerous. The conditions of the

snow, ice). Therefore, pay careful attention to the conditions of
the terrain on which the vehicle is being used; the use of low
speeds is recommended.

kept up gradient with respect to the vehicle in order to increase
its stability. Before mounting ramps or trailers with the vehicle,
remove any mud, ice or oil which may cause accidents.

Proceed with due caution on loose, wet or muddy surfaces.
- attEntion
Lack of efficient or clear communication may cause serious
accidents. If you are working with others, make sure any
hand signals you intend to use are understood by every-
body. Since work sites are often very noisy, do not exclu-
sively rely on verbal communication.
For indications on the hand signals to use, refer to the fol-
lowing chapter
