Do not wear rings, wrist watches, jewellery, unfastened or loose clothing such as neckties, torn garments, scarves, unbuttoned jackets or garments with open zip fasteners that could become caught up in moving parts.
Page 29: Transport And Loading
Transport and loading You are advised to check the dimensional limits established for means of transport if the machine must be transported to its specific work site (see sect. 1.6-Performance). The machine can be loaded onto the vehicle in two different ways: 1) Using chutes and the platform driving controls: after having fully LOWERED the platform, the operator can handle the machine by following the instructions in SECT.
Page 30 Note: Once the machine has been loaded onto the vehicle, it must be fastened in place by means of the holes used for lifting Note: Make sure that the platform is FULLY LOWERED before transporting the machine.
Page 31: Inspections Before Use
Inspections before use • Make sure all platform folding railings are locked in the vertical position, as well as all fastenings such as pins or screws (see figure below). Warning: IT IS FORBIDDEN TO CLIMB IN THE PLATFORM IF THE RAILINGS WERE NOT PROPERLY FOLDED AND SECURED USING THE SAFETY ACCESSORIES SUPPLIED.
Page 32: Inspections During Use
• Make sure that there are no bystanders or obstructions in the surrounding area before moving off • Visually check under and around the machine to make sure that there are no oil or gasoline leaks. If leaks are discovered, comply with the MAINTENANCE instructions. •...
Page 33 • Do not CHANGE DIRECTION on kerbs, rocks or appreciable differences in level (> 20 cm) when driving the machine. In this case, always proceed perpendicularly to the obstacles. • If you must drive up a slope, do not change direction when the ground changes from flat to sloping.
Page 34 • Avoid smooth, slippery and/or icy surfaces and those covered with sand: they could cause a risk of sliding or tipping during levelling. NO ICE! NO SAND! NO DUST OR SMOOTH SURFACES! Warning: during movement with ELECTRICAL POWER be careful of the connection cable in order to avoid dangerously crushing personnel on the ground!
Page 35: Precautions When Work Terminates Or Is Interrupted
The MAINTENANCE operations must only be performed by authorized and adequately trained personnel. Only perform the MAINTENANCE and ADJUSTMENT operations described in this Manual. Contact the ALMAC S.r.l. assistance service only, if other operations are required (e.g. if faults occur).
Page 36 All MAINTENANCE work must be performed in compliance with the laws in force governing safety and protection of the environment. THE MANUFACTURER IS RELIEVED FROM ALL LIABILITY FOR ACCIDENTS OR FAULTS DUE TO FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE RECOMMENDATIONS AND SAFETY REGULATIONS.
Page 37 EXTENSIBLE STRUCTURE LOCKING SYSTEM Ground controls Align the locking bracket to the pin The photo above shows how the locking system of the extensible structure must be positioned during maintenance work.

Page 82 Voluntary extension of stabilizers If the machine is on a flat surface, or on a slightly inclined surface, after the automatic stabilization procedure the machine is aligned to the tracks slightly lifted from the ground. In the event the machine is to lifted so as to reach the maximum working height, it will be necessary to further lower the stabilizers.
Page 83 IF THE PLATFORM IS POSITIONED OVER THE TRANSPORT HEIGHT, STABILIZATION CONTROL WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY DEACTIVATED. The operator must therefore lower the platform below the transport height and stabilize the machine by means of the stabilisation controls. The maximum level configurations envisaged for the tracked chassis are shown below. WARNING: PLATFORM MANUAL LEVELLING IS ONLY PERMITTED WITHIN THE TRANSPORT HEIGHT LIMIT OR WITHIN 2 M FROM THE FLOOR SURFACE.
