3.3 CHECKS AND VERIFICATIONS
Checks must be carried out as indicated in the Maintenance
chapter (page 32) of this manual.
If worn or faulty parts are not replaced promptly, the
Manufacturer accepts no responsibility for any accidental
damage that may result. Inspections must be carried out by an
expert; they must be visual and functional in order to guarantee
the vehicle's safety.
They shall include the following:
• Checking all the load-bearing structures, which must not
show any breakage, damage, deformation, corrosion, wear or
alteration with respect to the original characteristics;
• Inspection of all mechanical parts;
• Inspection of all safety devices installed on the vehicle;
• Check all pin and bolt connections;
• Functional check of the vehicle;
• Check the condition of the vehicle.
The results of this check must be recorded on a special form.
IMPORTANT! If anomalies are detected, they must be
rectified before the vehicle is put back into service,
and the expert carrying out the check must note on
the card that the repair has been carried out, thus giving
approval for the vehicle to be used.

In the event of a breakage or dangerous anomaly, the service
department must be notified immediately.
Take the vehicle out of service if there is a malfunction and
contact the service department immediately.
Make sure that there are no objects between the vehicle parts.
Make sure that no objects remain between the moving parts
after any maintenance work.
WARNING! In order to guarantee maximum safety
when handling the vehicle, it is in any case
PROHIBITED to:
• tamper with any part of the vehicle;
• leave moving parts unattended;
• use the vehicle in working order but not in complete
efficiency;
• modify the vehicle in order to change its originally intended
use, without explicit authorisation from the Manufacturer
or without assuming full responsibility as required by the
Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC;
• move moving parts by means of manual operations if there
is no power supply.
