technical sheet for EC conformity declaration
This manual contains information on the vehicle's tilting system.
Thorough knowledge of the manual's content is fundamental to ensure proper use and
adequate functioning of the installed equipment.
Even in the case of equipment that is easy to use, operators must be familiar with
common safety measures and must pay special attention during manoeuvring in order
to ensure proper vehicle operation at the various stages of the operating cycle. Proper
use of equipment is fundamental to avoid any possible risk and reduces the frequency
of maintenance operations, thus enhancing the durability of the vehicle's components.
The operator should carry out the various procedures very carefully to avoid injury to
himself, other people or objects. The vehicle has been designed for unloading and
transporting loose, solid material or blocks. The loading body can be tilted backwards
for cargo unloading.
The builder shall not be liable for any damage caused by failure to observe the in-
structions herein contained or caused by improper or forbidden use or damage due
to misuse, inadequate or incomplete maintenance of the equipment or the vehicle.
The builder shall not liable for any replacement, modification or tampering with vehicle
components or incorrect maintenance or repair operations carried out by unskilled
personnel using inadequate materials.
Modifying or tampering with side boards and tailgate or increasing their height with
fixed or movable parts is strictly forbidden. The builder reserves the right to authorise
any modification if it is deemed appropriate.
