2.12 TEMPERATURE LIMITS FOR HYDRAULIC OIL
When using the machine, always remember to respect the following temperature limits that can be
reached with hydraulic oil as function of the working condition.
TEMPERATURE LIMITS FOR HYDRAULIC OIL (°C)
Working condition
Hydraulic oil viscosity
VG 22 VG 32 VG 46 VG 68
Minimum temperature running in neutral position -21 -14 -7 -1
Minimum temperature running in full load 8 16 24 32
Maximum temperature running in full load 48 57 67 76
Maximum temperature running in neutral position 63 73 83 93
For additional information concerning the hydraulic oil, see chapter "Maintenance" and the attached
comparative table of the oils used on the machine.
2.13 USE NOT ALLOWED
The machine must not be used :
a. for lifting persons and/or goods
b. in grounds on which the machine cannot be positioned and anchored in a proper way
c. in areas with brushwood or other materials presence that can be easily set on fire
d. in closed/unventilated sites or, however, not sufficiently airy (tunnel or similar)
e. in sites with presence of gas that can be easily set on fire or explosives
f. in sites with presence of explosive materials
g. on aircraft, crafts, floating platforms and similar
h. for structure demolition, shafts felling or similar
i. for pulling flexible elements that can be highly lengthening, which allow elastic power accumulation
j. with ropes or conductors having a bigger diameter than the one specified in present manual
k. when engine is off and adherence units are moving
l. with inhibited or broken safety devices installed on the machine
m. when winding on the bull-wheels ropes and/or conductors having a smaller diameter as a
succession of ropes and/or conductors having a bigger diameter
n. for handling trucks or other moving equipment.
PROHIBITION: is not allowed to install on board radio equipments. These could create
electronic equipment malfunctions, putting the personnel at serious risk.
2.14 RESPONSIBILITY
The use of the machine for scopes different from those foreseen on paragraph 2.3 (Typology and
using field), even if not well described in this manual, has to be considered extremely
dangerous and
then forbidden.
The non-respect of the prescribed restrains causes a situation of improper use for technical
and persons safety purposes and relieves the manufacturer from any responsibility, civil or
penal, in case of accidents to persons or damages to things, causing the loss of warranty.
The manufacturer responsibility declines even when one of the following situations happens:
a. for the consequences caused by tampering and/or modifications carried out without the
manufacturer’s written acceptance (in this case the operator becomes the manufacturer with
relevant obligations and responsibilities, both civil and penal)
b. for the use of not original spare parts
c. for bad maintenance
d. for the use with disconnected safety devices
e. for the connection to machines and/or plans not produced and not directly authorized by the
manufacturer in a written acceptance.
