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 the equipment,
substances and the environment as well as the local
and national road traffic regulations.
ATTENTION
Effecting changes or carrying out interventions on
the machine other than those of routine
maintenance is expressly forbidden. Any
modification of the machine not carried out by
GENIE or an authorised assistance centre involves
the automatic invalidation of the conformity of the
machine to the Directive 98/37/EC.

GENERAL INFORMATION
■ A-3.2
Improper use means a utilisation of the handler
following working criteria that do not comply with the
instructions of this manual, and that, in general, may
result in risks for both operators and bystanders.
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
- Working in potentially explosive areas
- Working in confined and non-ventilated
environments.
■ A-3.3
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 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 part).
• Hazard deriving from an accidental overturning of
the machine in the event the operator has not
fastened the safety belt.
