RESIDUAL RISKS
Caution !
The direction of travel can be
reversed after a 180° turntable
rotation. Take account of the colour
of the arrows on the chassis
compared with the direction of
travel (green = forward, red =
reverse)
Thus, moving the manipulator in the
direction of the green arrow on the
control panel will move the machine
according to the direction indicated
by the green arrow on the chassis.
Similarly, moving a joystick in the
direction of the red arrow on the
control panel, will move the
machine in the direction of the red
arrow on the chassis
Caution !
If the machine has a 220 V 16A max.
plug, the extension must be
connected to a mains socket
protected by a 30 mA differential
circuit breaker.

1.3.1 - Risks of jerky movements and tipping over
Risks of jerky movement and instability are high in the following situations:
- Sudden action on the controls.
- Overloading of the platform.
- Uneven ground (Be careful during thaw periods in winter).
- Gusts of wind.
- Contact with an obstacle on the ground or at a height.
- Work on floors or over drains or culverts, etc.
Allow sufficient stopping distances:
- 3 meters at high speed,
- 1 meter at low speed.
Do not alter or neutralise any components connected in any way to the
machine's safety or stability.
Do not place or fasten a load so that it overhangs the machine's parts.
Do not touch adjacent structures with the elevator arm.
1.3.2 - Electrical risk
Electrical risks are high in the following situations:
- Contact with a live line (check safety distances before operation
near electricity lines).
- Use during storms.
1.3.3 - Risk of explosion or burning
The risks of explosion or burning are high in the following situations:
- Working in explosive or inflammable atmosphere.
- Filling the fuel tank near naked flames.
- Contact with the hot parts of the motor.
- Use of a machine generating hydraulic leakage.
1.3.4 - Risks of collision
- Risk of crushing people in the machine operation zone (when
travelling or manoeuvring equipment).
- The operator must assess the risks above him before using the
machine.
- Pay attention to the position of the arms during turntable rotation.
- Adapt movement speed to conditions related to the ground, traffic,
slope and movement of people, or any other factor that may cause
a collision.
- When driving down the ramp of a truck, ensure sufficient space is
available for safe unloading.
- Check brake pad wear regularly to avoid all risk of collision.
