OPERATION AND USE
id.:
DB 460 REV. 00 02/01/2015
At the end of each work shift, empty the plastic water tanks to prevent them from swelling and bursting.
Unscrew the caps (
1
) as shown in the fi gure, positioned underneath the two tanks to let the water drain out.
Empty the water transfer pump by undoing the screw (
2
) to let the water drain out.
If you are forced to work in temperatures close to 0°C, check that the radiator is fi lled with an antifreeze mixture
to prevent the water from freezing.
- Check the quality of the antifreeze coolant at least once a year, for example, at the beginning of the cold
season. The coolant must be changed every two years.
- The antifreeze mixture must be made up of equal quantities of antifreeze and water. The corrosion inhibitor
contained in the antifreeze must be diluted if using a solution with less than 50% antifreeze. Concentrations
of more than 50% antifreeze may have a negative effect on coolant performance.
- Use an antifreeze of the type and brand as indicated in the RECOMMENDED LUBRICANTS AND FLUIDS
table and calculate the percentage water/antifreeze in relation to the ambient temperature using the table
provided by the manufacturer.
- After refi lling/topping-up, run the engine for a few minutes to allow the water and antifreeze to mix well.
CAUTION: To use the vehicle at low temperatures, you also need to change the lubricants and use
types with an appropriate viscosity (see the RECOMMENDED LUBRICANTS AND FLUIDS
TABLE).
This vehicle is classifi ed as an operating vehicle according to Italian law.
In order to circulate on the road, it must be homologated and registered.
Pursuant to the regulations in force, the vehicle is equipped with an additional danger signalling device.
The yellow rotating beacon must always be turned on when circulating on the road.
The danger signal, consisting in the simultaneous illumination of the direction indicators, must be activated
when the vehicle is stationary on the road and in any situation where it is a hindrance to traffi c.
Anyone who circulates on the road with a vehicle that does not comply with or violates applicable legislation
will be punished with a fi ne.
The MANUFACTURER must provide the declaration of conformity for road circulation.
The related documentation must be submitted by the Purchaser to the local Directorate-General for Road
Traffi c and Privately Operated Transport Vehicles, for obtaining the registration certifi cate (logbook) and
number plate.
CAUTION: The declaration of conformity alone is absolutely not suffi cient for road circulation. It is
mandatory to register the vehicle.
The declaration of conformity must be submitted the Driver within 12 months from the date
of issue; failure to do so may cause the Directorate-General for Road Traffi c and Privately
Operated Transport Vehicles to reject issuance of the registration certifi cate (logbook) and
number plate.
