I
NTRODUCTION
This handbook provides information for a safe and
proper operation and maintenance of the machine.
STRICTLY COMPLY WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS
GIVEN IN THIS HANDBOOK!
READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS HANDBOOK
BEFORE STARTING, USING AND CARRYING
OUT ANY OPERATION WITH AND ON THE
MACHINE.
The handbook is divided into seven sections:
Sect. A GENERAL INFORMATION
Sect. B SAFETY
Sect. C OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Sect. D MAINTENANCE
Sect. E TROUBLESHOOTING
Sect. F OPTIONAL ATTACHMENTS
Sect. G TABLES AND ENCLOSURES
Section Acontains general concepts that are decisive
for the knowledge of the main parts of the machine.
It also contains all necessary data for a correct
identification of the machine, the technical features of
the machine, etc.
Section Bis especially addressed to the personnel,
who shall operate, repair and service the machine, and,
in case of companies with a wide fleet of machines, to
those responsible for safety.
It describes the essential compulsory qualities of the
personnel in charge and other important information
for the safety of persons and things.
Section Cis mainly addressed to the operators who
operate the machine. This section illustrates all control
devices.
Additionally, it contains the main use instructions -i.e.
engine starting, machine parking, machine storing.
Section Dis addressed to those responsible for
maintenance and the servicemen.
The section describes the maintenance schedule and
the relevant intervals.
Section E deals with the failure diagnostics.
Section Fmakes a list of the main interchangeable
attachments that can be coupled to the machine:
dimensions, weight, application field and limits of use.
Section Gcontains tables and various enclosed
documents like load charts, wiring diagrams, hydraulic
schemes, torque wrench setting table, etc.
Sections are subdivided into chapters and paragraphs
that are numbered progressively.
The quickest way to look for information is the reference
to the general index or the titles of the single chapters
and paragraphs that represent keys for an easy
consultation.
Take care of this handbook and keep it in an
accessible place within the machine, even
after its reading, so that it will always be
within reach if in doubt.
If you are unsure about anything, please address to
GENIE Assistance Service or to your agent/dealer:
addresses, phone and fax numbers are printed in
the cover and in the title-page of this manual.
IMPORTANT
Any difference between the contents of this manual
and the real functional character of the machine
can be attributed to either a machine manufactured
before the issue of this manual or to a manual going
to be updated after some changed effected on the
machine.
Always contact GENIE Assistance Service for any
updated version of this manual and any additional
information.

■SYMBOLS
When using the machine, operators could have to face
some situations requiring special care and particular
knowledge.
When these situations involve the safety of operators
or bystanders, the machine efficiency and proper
utilisation, this handbook stresses these specific
instructions by means of SPECIAL SYMBOLS.
There are six special (or safety) symbols in this manual,
always combined with keywords that class the situations
according to their danger degree.
The symbols are always followed by a text explaining
the situation taken into account, the attention to be
paid to such situation, the method and the behaviour to
be adopted. When necessary, it stresses prohibitions
or supplies instructions to prevent dangers.
Sometimes, it can be followed by illustrations.
We list below the special (or safety) symbols according
to the relative seriousness of the hazard situation:
DANGER
Draws the attention to situations that involve your
own as well as the others’ safety and that can result
in serious or lethal injury.
ELECTRICAL
DANGER
Draws the attention to situations that involve your
own as well as the others’ safety and that can result
in serious injury or lethal injury.
CAUTION
Draws the attention either to situations that involve
your own as well as the others’ safety and that can
result in minor or moderate injury or to situations
that involve the machine efficiency.
ATTENTION
Draws the attention to situations that involve the
machine efficiency.
IMPORTANT
Draws the attention to important technical
information or practical advice that allows for a
safer and more efficient use of the machine.
PROTECT THE
ENVIRONMENT
Draws the attention to important environment-
related information.
WHEN READING THIS MANUAL, PAY THE
GREATEST ATTENTION TO THESE SPECIAL
SYMBOLS AND THE EXPLANATION OF THE
SITUATIONS THEY EMPHASIZE.
The manual in electronic format also contains the
following symbol:

unreadable (either graphic or text).
To clean labels, use a soft cloth, water and soap.
Never use solvents, petrol, etc.
When a label is applied on a part to be replaced,
make sure that the replaced part is already labelled
as required or apply a new label.

GENERAL INFORMATION
A-3 ALLOWED USE
■A-3.1 ALLOWED USE
The handlers have been designed and manufactured
for lifting, handling and transporting agricultural or
industrial products by means of specific attachments
(see section F) manufactured by TEREXLIFT srl.
Any other use is considered contrary to that established
and, therefore, improper.
The compliance with and the strict respect of the
operation, maintenance and repair conditions, indicated
by the Manufacturer, represent an essential part of the
allowed use.
The handler must be used and serviced only by
operators knowing its characteristics and the safety
procedures in depth.
It is also essential to comply with the safety at work
legislation, the precautions concerning the equipment,
substances and the environment as well as the local
and national road traffic regulations.
ATTENTION
Effecting changes or carrying out interventions on
the machine other than those of routine
maintenance is expressly forbidden. Any
modification of the machine not carried out by
GENIE or an authorised assistance centre involves
the automatic invalidation of the conformity of the
machine to the Directive 98/37/EC.
■A-3.2 IMPROPER USE
Improper use means a utilisation of the handler
following working criteria that do not comply with the
instructions of this manual, and that, in general, may
result in risks for both operators and bystanders.
DANGER
We list below some of the most frequent and
hazardous situations of improper use:
- Carrying passengers on the machine
- Not strictly complying with the operation and
maintenance instructions of this handbook
- Working beyond the handler working limits
- Working on unstable edges of ditches
- Driving crosswise on slopes or hills
- Working during a storm
- Working on steep slopes
- Using attachments other than those
recommended
- Using attachments not approved or directly
manufactured by Terexlift
- Working in potentially explosive areas
- Working in confined and non-ventilated
environments.
■A-3.3 RESIDUAL HAZARDS
Although the machine has been designed and
manufactured according to the latest technology and
all expected hazards have been eliminated, some
operations performed by the machine operator can
result in potentially hazardous situations. Among them:
• Hazards deriving from a high work or transfer
speed in relation to the load handled or the ground
condition of the jobsite.
• Hazards deriving from work procedures adopted
during the check or replacement of a block valve
(residual pressure - uncontrolled movements).
• Hazards deriving from work procedures adopted
while disassembling parts of the machine -e.g. the
cylinders, without supporting mobile parts suitably
(risk of uncontrolled fall of the part).
• Hazard deriving from an accidental overturning of
the machine in the event the operator has not
fastened the safety belt.
