Drive and steering
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.
IT IS FORBIDDEN to drive the machine when the platform is lifted unless the chassis is flat and steady with no
holes and steps.
To drive the machine, carry out the following operations
in sequence:
a) press and hold down “dead - man” pedal M or
press and release “dead - man” button N located
on the platform; the green led ZA will light up
steady indicating its enabling;
b) in case of use of the pedal within 10 seconds
from the green steady led lighting up, set the
proportional joystick drive control A and
forward for forward drive or backward for
reverse drive.
c) In case of use of the button within 2 seconds
from the green steady led lighting up, set the
proportional joystick drive control
A and
forward for forward drive or backward for
reverse drive.

WARNING!!
Drive and steering controls can take place at the same time but they are interlocked with the platform movement
controls (lifting/lowering/rotation). With platform lowered (booms down, telescopic boom in, jib at a height
between +10° and – 70°) simultaneous steering-drive-turret rotation is possible to facilitate the machine
positioning in narrow spaces.
With platform lowered (telescopic column lowered and jib at a height b10° and – 70°) it is possible to select different drive
speeds G it is possible to select different drive speeds by means of the speed selector.
NOTE: To achieve maximum drive speed, set the speed selector G to position (III), and press down the proportional joystick (A).
To operate on high ascending slopes (e.g. while loading the machine onto a truck) set the speed selector G to position (II) or (III).
To operate on high descending slopes (e.g. while unloading the machine from a truck) and get the minimum speed with lowered
platform, set the speed selector G to position (I).
With platform lifted, safety drive speed is automatically enabled regardless of the position of speed selector
“G”.
To steer, press the buttons
H / L located on the drive proportional joystick control (press the right button for right steering and vice
versa). Also the steering control is enabled by the dead- man pedal or by the button “dead - man” and it is possible only if the green
led ZA is lit up steady.
