Always work in conditions with suitable lighting; the standard machine lighting system is not adequate for
lighting the work area with poor visibility (evening or night-time).
Exercise particular caution near overhead power lines. Always keep a minimum safe distance of at least 5
metres: both from the telescopic boom and any lifted loads. Danger of electrocution due to electrical
discharges.
It is forbidden to use the machine with thunderstorms in progress.
Never lift the load over people and prevent anyone from approaching the work area and passing under the
load.
The lighting signals must always work during the work phase and during transfer.This alerts nearby
personnel of potential danger.
If the maneuvering visual field is reduced by an environmental situation and/or an obstacle or if several
machines are involved in the operations, ask for the assistance of a person for indication and coordination.
Always keep the windows and lighting system clean, the signalling system efficient and the rear-view
mirrors clean and properly positioned; clean the instrumentation thoroughly. During use of the machine,
check the control instruments at regular intervals in order to promptly detect any anomalies.
Make slow and progressive maneuvers when both lifting and lowering the telescopic boom; do not perform
operations beyond the capacity of the machine or accessory. It is strictly prohibited to increase the value of
the counterweight in any way whatsoever.
Make sure you have fuel for sufficient autonomy so as to prevent the risk of the engine stopping abruptly,
even during a critical maneuver.
It is forbidden to climb up or down the machine when it is running.
It is forbidden to move away from the control position while the machine is running.
The signs and signals indicating danger should never be removed, covered or made illegible.
Inspect the work area before operating.
If the work area is near an excavation or is characterised by a steep slope, the machine is at great risk of
tipping over.
Keep the machine as far away as possible from the excavation edges and road margins.
Before operating the machine, examine the configuration and the conditions of the work area.
Icy surfaces that seem to be a solid base could subside if the temperature rises and compromise the
stability of the machine.
