- Safety precautions
• Do not drive the machine on slopes or tilts beyond the design limits. Check the maximum value in the
technical characteristics(
• Do not travel down slopes at high speed.
• Do not use the machine (elevation and travel) on an incline greater than that permitted by the slope
sensor.
• Do not drive in reverse (direction opposite the field of vision).
• Never use the machine in winds exceeding the permissible limit.
• Do not increase the surface area exposed to wind. The greater the surface area exposed, the more
unstable the machine becomes.
N.B.-:-The Beaufort scale measures the wind force with a graduation system. A wind speed range at 10
m(32 ft9 in) above flat, clear land is associated with each degree.
Some models have a zero wind rating and must not be exposed to wind forces. It should also be noted
that winds can occur inside buildings if external windows or doors are left open. Refer to the machine
identification plate to confirm the allowable wind load on the product being used.

Dust and loose papers fly. Small
branches bend.
Small trees sway. Crested
wavelets form on inland waters.
Large branches shake. Power
lines and chimneys 'sing'. It is
difficult to use an umbrella.
All trees shake. Walking against
