■ 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 safety and
industrial medicine as well as the local and national
road traffic regulations.
IMPORTANT
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.
