The characteristics provided above are approximate and can vary based on the ground and humidity
conditions, environmental temperatures and meteorological conditions.
Always work in conditions with suitable lighting; the standard machine lighting system is not adequate for
lighting the work area with poor visibility (evening or night-time).
Pay special attention near overhead power lines. Always keep a minimum safe distance of 5 metres: from
the telescopic boom as well as any lifted load. Risk of electric shock from lightning.
It is forbidden to use the machine with thunderstorms in progress.
Never lift the load over people and prevent anyone from approaching the work area and passing under the
load.
The lighting signals must always work during the work phase and during transfer. This alerts nearby
personnel of potential danger.
If the manoeuvring visual field is reduced by an environmental situation and/or an obstacle or if several
machines are involved in the operations, ask for the assistance of a person for indication and coordination.
Make sure that the windows are always clean, the lighting system works properly and the rear-view mirrors
are clean and well positioned; thoroughly clean the instruments. When using the machine, monitor the
control instruments at regular intervals so as to promptly detect any anomalies.
Handle the loads with care, at low speed and without jerks or jolts, especially if operating at
high heights.
The circulation speed of the machine with load should under no circumstances exceed 10
km/h. In the event that the load exceeds 50% of the maximum permissible capacity,
machine speed must be reduced down to 5 km/h.
Perform slow and progressive movements when lifting and lowering the telescopic boom; do not perform
operations that exceed the capacity of the machine or the accessory. It is strictly forbidden to increase the
counter-balance weight value in any way.
Make sure you have fuel for sufficient autonomy so as to prevent the risk of the engine stopping abruptly,
even during a critical manoeuvre.
It is forbidden to climb up or down the machine when it is running.
It is forbidden to move away from the control position while the machine is running.
The signs and signals indicating danger should never be removed, covered or made illegible.
Inspect the work area before operating.
If the work area is near an excavation or is characterised by a steep slope, the machine is at great risk of
tipping over.
Keep the machine as far away as possible from the excavation edges and road margins.
Before operating the machine, examine the configuration and the conditions of the work area.
Icy surfaces that seem to be a solid base could subside if the temperature rises and compromise the
stability of the machine.
