maintenance.
1.1 GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
This use and maintenance manual is an integral and essential part of the machine and must be delivered to
the user.
Read this manual carefully and thoroughly before starting, using and performing maintenance, refuelling or
any other operation on the machine.
The machine shall be entrusted to and operated by skilled staff only, which must have been duly trained on the
use of self-propelled vehicles of this type and on the relative safety rules and regulations.
TheoperatormustobserveallsafetyandaccidentpreventionregulationsaswellastheRoadTrafficRegulations
if the vehicle is road driven.
Furthermore, it is essential to carefully read the safety CAUTIONs found on the machine plates and labels,
and to strictly observe the instructions contained therein before starting, operating or repairing the machine or
performing maintenance operations on the same.
Each machine comes equipped with a copy of this manual.
The manual must be properly and safely stored in its compartment in the driver’s cab. It must be kept within

immediately for a new copy.
The machine must be used for its intended purpose only. Any other use is to be considered improper and
consequently dangerous.
Thorough and ongoing observance of the instructions contained herein will help ensure a longer service life
and reduction of maintenance and stop time. In addition, this will help you to avoid the most common accidents
which may occur during operation or maintenance.
It is of mutual interest to observe the aforementioned instructions, and that the buyer undertakes to ensure that
this manual is an integral part of the machine, that it is actually consulted by the operator and by maintenance
staff and that the instructions provided are strictly observed, assuming full responsibility in relation thereto.
The buyer and the operator of the vehicle must read the use and maintenance manual carefully the first time
they are using the machine. If this vehicle is subject to a use or lease agreement, it is the owner’s duty to
make sure that the new user reads and understands this use and maintenance manual. In addition, make sure

INTRODUCTION
1
This machine has been designed and manufactured to load aggregates, cement and water in the appropriate
quantities, and mix them homogeneously directly on the worksite, to produce quality concrete for on-site
casting.
Use of the machine on public roads is subject to road traffic regulations in force in the country of use.
This machine must be used by the driver only and cannot be used to transport other people.
This machine has been designed and manufactured for its intended use and purpose. Therefore, its technical
features shall be considered binding in order to use the machine for its intended purpose.
No modifications can be made to the machine without prior authorisation from FIORI, as they may lead to
dangerous situations. It is always necessary to strictly observe the safety rules and regulations illustrated in
this use and maintenance manual.
It is strictly forbidden to use the machine for any operation other than those described herein.
Under no circumstance may FIORI be held responsible for any other use of the machine or for non-observance
