Control Indicators and
Interlocks
Several control indicators and interlocks have been
fitted to the machine. They must never be tampered
with or removed.
Always perform a function test to check the proper
operation of these devices.
Never operate a machine that is malfunctioning. If
the machine starts to malfunction, immediately stop
using it and have it repaired.
Load Management System (LMS)
The Load Management System has been developed
to help the operator to maintain longitudinal
stability of the machine. Audible and visual messages
are provided when the limits of longitudinal stability
are being approached.
However this device cannot replace the experience
of the operator. It is up to the user to adopt the
necessary safety measures to work within the rated
limits of the machine.
The LMS is designed to function only:
• when the truck is static;
• when the truck is on consolidated, stable and
level ground;
• when the truck is performing loading or placing
functions;
• when the LMS is activated (not overridden).
The LMS will only warn the operator in the event of
inadequate stability in the longitudinal plane in the
forward direction.
The LMS is not intended for warning of the risk of
overturning in the case of:
• a sudden overload;
• travelling with the load in the elevated position;
• travelling on rough terrain or on grounds with
obstacles and holes;
• travelling across a slope or turning on a slope;
• driving in bends too fast or too sharp;
Adjustments affecting the setting of the Load
Management System shall be performed only by
authorised personnel.
Part No. 57.0009.0730
Seat Interlock
This micro switch is located inside the seat cushion,
and it prevents any machine transmission movements
if the operator is not correctly seated in the driving seat.
Emergency Stop Push-button
This device may be used to stop the machine during
an emergency situation.
By pressing this button, the engine shuts down while
the Load Management System stays active.
Before restarting the machine, it is necessary to reset
the push-button by rotating it clockwise.
Enabling Function Switch on Joystick
The joystick is equipped with an enabling function
switch. This red finger switch must be held pressed
down until the joystick functions have been completed;
if it is released, the manoeuvre stops.
