Surface
The surface on which the vehicle is being driven affects the stability of the machine. Drive as much as
possible on a paved and level surface. Adjust your speed, curve radius and the amount of load to the
surface on which you drive. Keep the lifting height about 20 centimetres above the ground while
driving.
Legislation
The machine may only travel on public roads if it is equipped with the option package for road
admission. In this case, the driver must hold a tractor driving licence (driving licence T). Please pay
attention to the following points:

The maximum speed is 25km/h.

Load must be covered while driving.

Protruding parts must be shielded.

The attachment must not cause any obstruction of sight or danger to other drivers.

Local traffic rules must be observed.

Ensure that the machine meets specific national requirements.

Be aware of other road users who cannot properly estimate the road handling and risks of
the machine.
The machine must be insured by the owner for civil liability according to the Motor Vehicle Liability
Insurance Act when it is used on public roads, on private property that is accessible to the public and
on private property that is only accessible to a number of authorised persons. This, therefore, applies
to the Pitbull both with and without the option package for road admission.
According to the Working Conditions Act, the machine is considered lifting and hoisting equipment,
which means that it may only be operated by persons who have specific expertise for this purpose.
Insurers may require a certificate of training as a condition of an insurance policy.
NOTE! Always adhere to laws and regulations, which have been drawn up for the safety of
the driver, and bystanders and other road users.
Recommended operating and ambient temperature
The recommended operating and ambient temperature is between -25°C and +40°C. If the operating
and ambient temperature are outside this range, take into account possible system failures.
Using the system at lower temperatures will lead to accelerated wear to hydraulic gaskets and it will
increase the risk of hydraulic hoses being damaged and brittle fractures in the steel structure. If you
work at temperatures lower than the recommended temperature, the maximum load is less than
what is normally allowed.
Before starting to work at a low temperature, have the oil circulate through the system for some
minutes. Slowly repeat all actions several times so that the gaskets will become flexible before being
exposed to full pressure.
If working in extremely high temperatures, remember that the hydraulic oil will heat up extremely. If
the oil temperature e80°C, the oil will evaporate and the gaskets will be damaged The
electronics may work more slowly because the processor of the controller protects against
overheating due to the extreme heat.
