GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Specific warnings and cautions to inform about potential damages to people and machine are shown below.
DANGER!
–
Before performing any maintenance, repair, cleaning or replacement procedure disconnect the battery
connector, remove the ignition key and engage the parking brake.
–
This machine must be used by properly trained operators only.
–
Sharp turns must be made at slowest possible speed. Avoid abrupt turns, particularly on slopes, and turns
with the hopper lifted.
–
Do not lift the hopper when the machine is on a slope.
– Keep the batteries away from sparks, flames and incandescent material. Explosive gases are released when
charging the batteries.
– Do not wear jewels when working near electrical components.
– Do not work under the lifted machine without supporting it with safety stands.
– When working under the open hood, ensure that it cannot be closed by accident.
– Do not operate the machine near toxic, dangerous, flammable and/or explosive powders, liquids or
vapours: This machine is not suitable for collecting dangerous powders.
– If the machine is equipped with lead (WET) batteries, battery charging produces highly explosive hydrogen
gas. Keep the hood open when charging the batteries and perform this procedure in well-ventilated areas
and away from naked flames.
– When lead batteries (WET) are installed, do not tilt the machine for more than 30° from the horizontal plane
to prevent the highly corrosive acid from leaking out of the batteries. When the machine is to be tilted to
perform maintenance procedures, remove the batteries.
WARNING!
– Carefully read all the instructions before performing any maintenance/repair procedure.
– When working near the hydraulic system, always wear protective clothes and safety glasses.
– (For machines equipped with optional battery charger). Before using the battery charger, ensure that
frequency and voltage values, indicated on the machine serial number plate, match the electrical mains
voltage.
– Do not pull or carry the machine by the battery charger cable and never use the battery charger cable as
a handle. Do not close a door on the battery charger cable, or pull the battery charger cable around sharp
edges or corners. Do not run the machine on the battery charger cable.
– Keep the battery charger cable away from heated surfaces.
– Do not use the machine if the battery charger cable or plug is damaged. If the machine is not working as it
should, has been damaged, left outdoors or dropped into water, return it to the Service Center.
–
Before performing any maintenance procedure, disconnect the battery charger cable from the electrical
mains to avoid any risk of fire, electric shock or injuries.
