• TRANSPORTING OF THE MACHINE
-
Load and unload the machine on a firm and level surface.
- Ensure that truck and trailer are braked.
- Use a ramp or loading deck. Ramp must be strong enough, have a low angle, and correct height.
- Drive the machine into the ramp squarely.
- Park the centre of the machine over the centre of the trailer bed.
- Put chock blocks in front and back of wheels.
- Shift gear box and forward/reverse selector to neutral position.
- Apply parking brake.
- Lower the boom until the forks lay on the trailer.
- Stop the engine, and remove the key.
- Lock the cabine door.
- Fasten the machine to the trailer with chains or cables

INSTRUCTIONS FOR A CORRECT MACHINE USE IN THE VICINITY OF ELECTRICITY POWER SUPPLY LINES
Before setting to work, check that there are no overhead utility lines in that area.
Should there be overhead utility lines, keep a safety distance from them (at least 5 metres (16 ft).
However, you are advised to inquire the minimum safety distance from such lines from the manager of said lines, as well as
from the authorities in charge of safety and health in the workplace.
Please note that the higher the voltage, the greater should the safety distance be
.
USE OF THE MACHINE DEPENDING ON WIND STRENGTHS
Before using the machine, check whether wind strengths allow you to work safely at a certain height.
Read the following table - showing the Beaufort scale - to estimate wind strengths.
WARNING!
The maximum permissible wind strength for the operation of the access platform is 12.5 mps (28 mph)
This table is also available as a leaflet, to be found in its holder both in the cab.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR A CORRECT USE OF THE TABLE:
-
up to class 4 working conditions are good (green symbol)
- class 6 indicates that you are working under risky conditions for the
machine. The yellow-red symbol indicates that you should work with
extreme caution, especially if you are working at a significant height
- from class 7 on (Beaufort scale has 12 classes) the machine shall not
be used
WARNING!
Never equip your machine, its parts and attachments subject to the
action of the wind with components or materials (such as panels,
sheets or the like) which might have a “sail effect” and decrease
machine stability in windy days.
