INTENDED USE OF THE MACHINE

The SR9244 and SR1054 telescopic handlers consists of self-propelled wheeled machines
with a single driver seat and one operator, intended to be used on flat or irregular surfaces with the limits of
use specified further on.
Thanks to its extensible arm, lifting, transporting and positioning loads is even possible with the use of
appropriate and specific terminal tools.
The machine has been designed and built to operate outdoors; however, it can also be used indoors or
underground provided that:

The machine is a complex tool. It must be used by a single operator who is fully trained and in possession of

repairs specified by the manufacturer are an essential part of the intended use.
