USING THE MACHINE

11.4.6.Travel

The MEWPS is a self‐propelled machine able to easily move on any type of
ground, able to pass slopes and, considering the small dimensions, to enter nar‐
row openings. A condition for traversing is that the four outriggers are lifted
from the ground and the machine is in the transport or stabilisation configura‐
tion.
For the translation the control position on the ground is foreseen.
When controlling the machine, before traversing, make sure that the control po‐
sition guarantees an optimal view of the entire machine and EVERY obstacle that
may be in the trajectory to be followed by the machine. If a very precise control
of traversing movements is required, engine rotation can be reduced by acting on
the speed selector button on the remote control ʺPush buttons (p. 61)ʺ. Pay atten‐
tion to the complete clearance of the machine especially if the outriggers are not
turned into the transport position.
It is prohibited to climb onto or off of the basket if it is not comple‐
tely lowered.
The machine is not type‐approved for road circulation. The work and auto‐
nomous shifting areas must be appropriately delimited and with signs accor‐
ding to the laws in force regarding this subject. The machine must be loaded
onto type‐approved machines for any movement on public roads.
DANGER
• During control operations, remember always to stay at a minimum distance
of 1 metre from the machine.
• It is advised to traverse on flat surface with the outriggers completely lifted
and placed in the transport position in order to reduce overall clearance of the
machine.
