Using the ground controls lift the Jib so as to avoid any accidental collisions with the ground (see paragraph “GROUND
CONTROL STATION”).
Control the drive operations very slowly .
We recommend you to secure the machine parts indicated by arrow X using suitably dimensioned bands after loading the
machine on vehicles for transport.
The gradient can be determined using an electronic level or empirically as described below: position a wood board of known
length on the gradient to be measured. Position a spirit level on the wood board and lift the downstream extremity of the latter
until it is level. Now measure the distance between the board and the ground ( A ), divide this by the length of the board ( B ) and
multiply by 100. The following image sums up the method.
 By means of crane:
Check that the lifting capacity of the device
is suitable to lift the machine weight.
Use intact bands, ropes or chains suitable to lift the
machine considering the opening angle “A” which
must be HIGHER OR EQUAL to 60° (angle included
between the diagonal rope and horizontal line of the
machine).
Lift the outriggers completely and hook the ropes to
them near the pads using the four eyebolts (G).
