ECOLOGICAL CONSIDERATIONS
The following are recommendations which may be of
assistance:
xBecome acquainted with and ensure that you
understand the relative legislation applicable to
your country.
xWhere no legislation exists, obtain information
from suppliers of oils, antifreeze, cleaning
agents, with regard to their effect on man and the
environment and how to store, use and dispose
of these substancesx safely.
Helpful hints
1. Avoid filling tanks using Jerry cans or inappropri-
ate pressurised fuel delivery systems, which
may cause considerable spillage.
2. In general avoid skin contact with all fuels, oils,
acids, solvents, etc. Most of them contain sub-
stances which can be harmful to your health.
3. Modern oils contain additives. Do not burn con-
taminated fuels and/or waste oils in ordinary
heating systems.
4. Avoid spillage when draining off used engine
coolant mixtures, engine, gearbox and hydraulic
oils, brake fluids of fuels with lubricants. Do not
mix used brake fluids or fuels with lubricants.
Store them safely until they can be disposed of
in a proper way to comply with local legislation
and available resources.
5. Modern coolant mixtures, like antifreeze and
other additives, should be replaced every two
years. They should not be allowed to get into the
soil but should be collected and disposed of
safely.
6. Do not open the air--conditioning system your-
self. Your Dealer or air--conditioning specialist
has special equipment for discharging and
charging the system.
7. Repair any leaks or defects in the engine cooling
or hydraulic system immediately.
8. Do not increase the pressure in a pressurised cir-
cuit as this may lead to serious damage of the
system components.
9. Protect hoses during welding as penetrating
weld splatter may burn a hole or weaken them,
causing the loss of oils and coolants.

GENUINE SPARE PARTS
All maintenance on these machines must be carried
out using original parts.
By allowing use of non--original parts, you run a risk:
-- Legally, of being liable in the event of an accident.
-- Technically, of causing breakdowns to occur or of
reducing your machine service life.
Remember:
Any user who procures parts from another quarter
does so at his own risk.
Any user who modifies his machine or has it modified
by a service company, must accept the liability for
such modification.
The certificate of compliance only binds the maker
for parts chosen or produced under maker’s control.
The maker sets out the practicalities of maintenance
terms. The maker is in no way liable to the event of
the user not complying with such terms.
Using counterfeit parts or components not approved
by the manufacturer will affect warranty terms and
could lead the maker to withdraw the machine certifi-
cate of compliance.
IMPORTANT: Allowing your local approved dealer to
maintain your machine, you are legally covering
yourself and receive the benefits of:
-- Guaranteed quality of work.
-- Original replacement parts.
-- Help with preventive maintenance.
-- Effective help with diagnosing faults.
Only the manufacturer knows the details of the Tele-
handler design and therefore has the best techno-
logical capability to carry out maintenance.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Only qualified and trained staff can use the Tele-
handler. Its use is subjected to a driving permit
granted by the person in charge in the operator’s
company and subject to local legislation.
The operator should always keep an updated driving
permit during service.
The driver is not competent to authorise driving of the
Telehandler by another person.
Moreover, the use must be in conformity with
accepted practice in the profession.
The operator who finds that the Telehandler is not in
good working condition or does not comply with the
safety instructions, must inform immediately the per-
son in charge.
The driver is forbidden to carry out any repair or
adjustment by himself. He shall keep his Telehandler
perfectly clean, if he is in charge of this.
A copy of the Operator’s Manual must always be in
the machine, in the place provided and in the lan-
guage understood by the driver.
The machine must only be started or operated from
the driver’s cab.
Respect safety instructions and the instructions
described on the machine.
Make sure to replace every plate or DECAL, which
becomes unreadable or damaged.

it low down on the forks and with the front part of the
arm retracted as far as possible and inclined back-
wards.
TH001100
Do not attempt to overfill and transport loads that
could spill out of or fall off the attachment.
TH001015
Do not manoeuvre the load when the machine is in
motion
The simultaneous use of two machines for handling
heavy or bulky loads is a dangerous manoeuvre,
requiring particular precautions. This can only be
done exceptionally and in the presence of the person
in charge of handling.
Take steep downward slopes in reverse motion and
at low speed.
Avoid running too long distances in reverse.
WARNING
In the event of the machine overturning, do not try to
leave the cab during the incident.
YOUR BEST PROTECTION IS TO STAY FAS-
TENED IN THE CABIN.
Handle loads with care, at low speed and without
sudden movements when transporting them at
heights or when subject to important offsets.
OPERATING ANGLE
IMPORTANT: For safety reasons and for effective
machine operation ensure that operating angles
shown below are never exceeded.
TH001101
Bring the forks up to the load to be lifted and keep
them at right angles to the load itself; at the same
time take into account the position of the load centre.
For safety reasons, ensure that all loads are trans-
ported with the assumed centre of gravity in the Tele-
handler axis and that they are properly tied to avoid
overturning risks.

SECTION 1 -- SAFETY FEATURES AND VEHICLE OPTIONAL SAFETY
1--12
Do not leave a laden machine even with parking
brake applied, on an incline. In case of failure in the
mentioned case, cut off the engine and use special
chocks to block the wheels.
TH001102
Ensure that any scaffold or loading platform is
capable of bearing the load of the machine.
Apply the parking brake when lifting or depositing a
difficult load or when on an incline.
Check ground stability and solidity before depositing
the load.
Check the cleanness and protection of the quick
release couplings of the attachment circuit.
IMPORTANT: When attachments are being
changed, in order to avoid damage to the quick
release couplings:
xLower the forks or attachment to rest on the
ground;
xStop the engine;
xRelease the pressure in the attachment
hydraulic circuit by operating the levers of the
control valve (in case of an electric control on the
control valve, switch on the electrical contact
without starting the engine).
Lower the forks to the ground and apply the parking
brake when the machine is not in use.
Ensure that the handling attachment is correctly
fitted and locked on it bracket.
It is forbidden to carry people with the machine,
unless it is equipped to do so, Optional attachments
are available; consult your dealer.
TH001017
Do not lift a load with one fork only.
Do not lift a sling load with only one fork or with the
carriage. Optional attachments are available, con-
sult your dealer.
Do not accelerate or brake sharply with a load on the
forks.
Do not stop the machine or turn with the load in an
elevated position.
The employment of the Telehandler as lifting equip-
ment is subject to the compliance of the laws in force
in the country of use.
TH001103

of the machine or pass beneath an elevated load.

SECTION 1 -- SAFETY FEATURES AND VEHICLE OPTIONAL SAFETY
1--13
ELECTRICAL POWER LINES
WARNING
When working near power lines, ensure that a safe
distance is maintained between the working area of
the Telehandler and the power line.
This distance at minimum should be at least
5metres.
ENGINE SHUTDOWN
Before stopping the machine after intensive work, let
the engine idle a few moments to enable the cooling
liquid and the oil to lower the engine and transmission
temperature.
Do not forget this precaution (in the event of frequent
stops of the engine), or else the temperature of cer-
tain parts will rise significantly due to stopping of the
cooling system, with the risk of badly damaging such
parts.
WARNING
Do not leave the key in the key start switch when the
machine is unattended.
MAINTENANCE CONSIDERATIONS
Maintenance and keeping machine in proper condi-
tion are compulsory.
Clean the machine or, at least, the area concerned
before any maintenance intervention, closing the cab
door and windows.
If necessary, protect against penetration of water,
steam or cleaning agents, components susceptible
of being damaged, particularly electrical compo-
nents and connections and the injection pump.
Wear clothes suitable for the maintenance of the
machine. Avoid wearing jewellery and loose clothes.
Tie and protect your hair, if necessary.
Ensure the workplace is sufficiently ventilated before
starting the machine.
Stop the engine when not in use.
Do not run the engine without air filter, or with oil,
water or fuel leaks.
Wait until the engine is cold before taking off the radi-
ator cap.
Use the recommended lubricants (Never use con-
taminated lubricants).
Change filter cartridges.
Make sure that the evacuation of process materials
and of spare parts is carried out in total safety and in
an ecological way.
Clean the machine of any fuel, oil or grease trace.
Carry out repairs immediately, even if the repairs
concerned are minor.
Repair all leaks immediately, even if the leak con-
cerned is minor.
WARNING
Do not attempt to loosen unions, hoses or any
hydraulic component with the circuit under pressure.
The handling and the dismounting of the balancing
valves, which supply oil to the cylinders of your
machine, can be dangerous. A balancing valve must
only be dismounted when the cylinder concerned is
at rest and the hydraulic circuit is not under residual
pressure. Authorised technical staff only can carry
out this operation.
Do not smoke or approach the machine with a flame,
when the fuel tank is open or is being filled.
Do not fill the fuel tank when the engine is running.
Fill up the tank only in the spaces provided.

SECTION 1 -- SAFETY FEATURES AND VEHICLE OPTIONAL SAFETY
1--14
Isolate the battery before working on the electrical
circuit or on the machine (E.g. welding).
Do not deposit metal objects on the battery.
When carrying out electric welding work on the
machine, isolate the battery. Connect the negative
cable from the equipment directly to the part being
welded; so as to avoid high tension current passing
through the alternator.
SAFETY CAB
Your machine is equipped with a safety cab and it
must be maintained in serviceable condition.
NOTE: The following statements are for your own
protection as well as other people.
1. Do not modify, drill or alter the safety cab in any
way, as doing so could render you liable to legal
prosecution.
2. Do not attempt to straighten or weld any part of
the frame or retaining brackets, which have suf-
fered damage. By doing so you may weaken the
structure and endanger your safety.
3. Do not secure any parts on the safety cab with
anything other than the special high tensile bolts
and nuts specified.
4. Do not attach chains or ropes to the cab for pul-
ling purposes.
5. Do not take unnecessary risks even though your
safety cab affords you the maximum protection
possible.
DIESEL FUEL
1. Under no circumstances should rexiol, alcohol or
blended fuels be added to diesel fuel. These
combinations can create an increased fire or
explosive hazard. In a closed container such a
fuel tank, such blends are more explosive than
pure gasoline. Do not use these blends.
FUEL CAPACITY = 135 LITRES
TH001080
2. Never remove the fuel cap or refuel with the
engine running or hot.
3. Do not smoke while refuelling or when standing
near fuel.
4. Maintain control of the fuel filler pipe nozzle when
filling the tank.
5. Do not fill the fuel tank to capacity. Allow room for
expansion.
6. Wipe up spilled fuel immediately.
7. Always tighten the fuel tank cap securely.
8. If the original fuel tank cap is lost, replace it with
an approved cap. A non--approved, proprietary
cap may not be safe.
9. Keep equipment clean and properly maintained.
10. Do not drive equipment near open fires.
11. Never use the fuel for cleaning purposes.
12. Arrange fuel purchase so that summer grade
fuels are not held over and used in the winter.

SUMMARY OF SAFETY RULES
For your safety always comply with the following
rules:
xEnsure that there is nobody within the machine
operating range.
xDo not stand or walk under the arm of the vehicle
xBefore leaving your driving seat:
-- set the gear selector in neutral;
-- apply the parking brake;
-- stop the engine.
xNever lift loads greater than those shown on the
carrying capacity diagram on the lifter. The oper-
ator must first assess the size of the load to be
lifted.
xThe load diagram is meant for a machine on flat
and stable ground. Avoid operating with loads on
an unstable or sloping ground.
xLoads shown on load diagrams must be reduced
by the weight of possible attachments.
xIndications provided by the anti--overturning sys-
tem must be considered valid for machines in
standard operating conditions on flat and stable
ground, and with a functioning and correctly cali-
brated instrument. In any case limit values on
load diagrams must in no case be exceeded.
xSet the forks in a symmetrical way with respect
to the arm axis and uniformly distribute the load
between the two forks.
xWhen a load is handled, it is necessary to check
its stability when driving uphill or downhill, oper-
ating, if necessary, on the fork tilt control to
restore it to safe conditions.
xOperations must all be performed with the mini-
mum loader arm admissible under operating
conditions.
xTo lift a load it is recommended to raise the arm
first and then operate the loader arm extension.
In a similar way, to lower a load, first pull in the
extension, and then lower the arm.
xAvoid load lifting and transport operations over
working or transit areas. Should this not be poss-
ible, give proper sound warnings.
xWhen the machine is travelling, no manoeuvre of
the load is allowed. The handling of materials
must be performed with the boom lowered and all
the slides retracted.
xMaximum admissible speed with a suspended
load is 5 km/h: it is therefore necessary to restrict
hydraulic and mechanical operation speed.
DRIVING ON ROADS OPEN TO PUBLIC
TRAFFIC
xOn these roads steering is admissible only on the
front axle.
xThe arm must be lowered to allow resting on the
special ledge.
xInstall the fork guard.
xCab controls must be locked.
USE OF THE ATTACHMENTS
xReduce the loads shown on the load diagram by
the weight of the attachments used.
xThe centre of gravity must be that of the load plus
the attachments.
USE OF THE LOADING BUCKET
xWhen using the lifter with a loading bucket, the
bucket filling operation must be performed with
the loader arm extension fully retracted.
USING THE VEHICLE AS A CRANE
xDo not lift loads that are not properly placed in
slings.
xDo not start or stop the machine with a jerk.
xAvoid load oscillations and especially allowing
the load to hang outside the pulling vertical line.
xAvoid oblique pulls and towing.
WARNING
It is absolutely forbidden to tamper with or change the
calibration values of the hydraulic system compo-
nents.
