 Pay particular attention to the area above the machine during lifting to avoid any crushing and collisions.
 During operation keep your hands in safety position, the driver has to place them as shown in picture A or B
while the transported operator has to keep them as shown in picture C.

3.3.3. Operating procedures

Before starting to work, when the motor is not running and sufficiently cool, visually check the fuel level in the tank. If
necessary, add fuel (lead-free Petrol O.N.>87 for petrol models; Diesel oil for Diesel models) avoiding to fill the tank
completely and to dirty the unit. Should small quantities of fuel leak out, clean immediately using a clean cloth.

In case of Thermic motor fault, refer to the User Manual provided by the manufacturer of the motor.

The machine is equipped with a chassis inclination control system disabling lifting operations in case of unstable positioning.
Working operations can be resumed only after placing the machine in a steady position. If the audible alarm and the red light
on the platform control panel turn on, the machine is not correctly positioned (see paragraphs relevant to “Use instructions”). It
is necessary to bring it to safety rest position before starting operations again. If the tilt alarm trips with the platform elevated,
the only possible operations are those that allow lowering the platform.

The machine is not equipped with an overload controller as in the design phase we considered stability and overload criteria
increased as reported by the EN280 in paragraphs 5.4.1.5 and 5.4.1.6 .
 The machine is equipped with a control system of the outriggers feet resting on the ground. When all feet are resting on the
ground, the warning lights are lit and, unless other alarms, all movements are allowed except for tracks control. When the
platform is lifted if one of the feet loses contact with the ground, the relevant warning light turns off and all lifting movements
are inhibited. Cage lowering on the ground is still possible (lowering and turret rotation in both directions) at automatically
reduced speed.
 To avoid improper use, a special microswitch checks the platform position; when the first and second boom are not completely
lowered and extension not fully retracted, the outriggers cannot be operated.

The machine is equipped with a control system of the rotating turret position. When the turret is in central position, the green
light is lit. If the boom is completely lowered, translation and stabilization controls are possible while the turret rotation is
inhibited.

Do not lean over the platform guard rails.

Make sure that no people, apart from the operator, are in the area where the machine is operating. While moving the platform,
the operator on board should pay particular attention to avoid any contact with the personnel on the ground.
 During operations in public areas, in order to prevent people other than the personnel from approaching the machine and
being endangered, surround the working area by means of barriers or other suitable signs.

Avoid severe weather conditions and, in particular, windy days.

Lift the platform only if the machine is resting on solid and horizontal surfaces (following chapters). If you operate on grounds
which are not solid enough, place some boards of tough and resistant material under the pads of the outriggers so as to
increase the support surface and reduce the specific ground pressure.
 Do not use the thermic drive power (Diesel or Petrol motor) indoors or in insufficiently ventilated areas.

After each work session, always take the keys out of the control panels and keep them in a safe place to prevent unauthorized
people from using the machine.
 Always place working tools in a steady position to prevent them from falling and hurting the operators on the ground.
When choosing the positioning point of the chassis, to prevent unexpected possible contacts with obstacles, always observe the
figures carefully as these make it possible to identify the range of action of the platform ( chap. 2).
