6. HANDLING AND CARRYING
6.1. Handling
Before using the machine, make sure that the mechanical
lock device of the turret is disabled (see figure aside).
To handle the machine in normal operating conditions,
follow the instructions given in chapter "USE
INSTRUCTIONS " under paragraph "Drive and steering”.
When platform is completely lowered (or within a given
height according to specific needs and further to checks)
the machine can be handled (i.e. drive can be performed)
at different speeds to be freely selected by the user.
With platform at a given height, the drive speed is
automatically limited, and cannot be changed.
The section TECHNICAL FEATURES indicates the limits
concerning drive for each model.

Health and Safety at work.
It is absolutely forbidden to drive the machine when platform is lifted unless the ground is horizontal,
flat and steady.
Before carrying out any displacement operation, verify that no people are in proximity of the machine
and in any case proceed with the utmost caution.
Before handling the machine check that the connection plugs are disconnected from the power
supply source.
