3.12.4 ORGANIZING THE WORK AREA
If after a first inspection the area results to be uneven, encum-
bered with big obstacles or made up of areas with considerable
differences in height, it is advisable to level the ground as much
as possible before starting work.
These preliminary operations will reduce the time necessary to
carry out the job and will ensure better results, in terms of both
operator’s stress and machine service life.
Reduce to the minimum the movements of the machine that are
necessary to carry out the job.
3.12.5 OPERATING THE EQUIPMENT
DANGER
• Always fasten the safety belt.
• Always warn the authorised persons present on the work site, by sounding the horn.
IMPORTANT
• The illustrations shown are the basic ones that are necessary for a correct use and exploitation of the
machine; the operator must get familiar with the controls and the operation method described and learn
to organize work in a free area, using the low gears and remaining seated in driving position.
The methods described are the traditional and safest methods for operation with machine fitted with forks and
bucket.
The operating methods to be adopted with other equipment are described in the section that deals with optional
equipment.
