Handler with telescopic boom
GTH-3007
A-3 ALLOwED USE
A-3.1 ALLOwED USE
The handlers have been designed and manufactured for
lifting, handling and transporting agricultural or industrial
products by means of specific attachments (see section
F
) manufactured by TEREXLIFT srl.
Any other use is considered contrary to that established
and, therefore, improper.
The compliance with and the strict respect of the
operation, maintenance and repair conditions, indicated
by the manufacturer, represent an essential part of the
allowed use.
The handler must be used and serviced only by operators
knowing its characteristics and the safety procedures
in depth.
It is also essential to comply with the safety at work
legislation, the precautions concerning safety and
industrial medicine as well as the local and national
road traffic regulations.

We list below some of the most frequent and
hazardous situations of improper use:
- Carrying passengers on the machine
- Not strictly complying with the operation and
maintenance instructions of this handbook
- Working beyond the handler working limits
- Working on unstable edges of ditches
- Driving crosswise on slopes or hills
- Working during a storm
- Working on steep slopes
- Using attachments other than those
recommended
- Using attachments not approved or directly
manufactured by Terexlift
- Applying loads in different points of the
attachment holding plate
- Working in potentially explosive areas
- Working in confined and non-ventilated
environments.
A-3.3 RESIDUAL HAZARDS
Although the machine has been designed and
manufactured according to the latest technology and
all expected hazards have been eliminated, some
operations performed by the machine operator can result
in potentially hazardous situations. Among them:
• Hazards deriving from a too high work or transfer
speed in relation to the load handled or the ground
condition of the jobsite.
• Hazards deriving from work procedures adopted
during the check or replacement of a block valve
(residual pressure - uncontrolled movements).
• Hazards deriving from work procedures adopted
while disassembling parts of the machine -e.g. the
cylinders, without supporting mobile parts suitably
(risk of uncontrolled fall of the mobile part).
• Hazard deriving from an accidental overturning
of the machine in the event the operator has not
fastened the safety belts.
