WARNING
Do not use the machine and its attachments before having
read and understood the use and safety instructions of this
manual.
Not obeying the use and safety instructions can result in
serious or lethal injury.
The instructions are delivered with the machine; additional
copies may be obtained from your dealer or directly from
Terexlift.
The operator is responsible for obeying the aforesaid
instructions.
Do not raise boom on unstable or sloping ground. Never
exceed maximum permitted loads (see load charts).
Lifting manoeuvres with the machine in operation are
forbidden.
Before leaving the control place:
- lower any suspended load to the ground
- set the controls of the boom to neutral position
- set the speed lever to neutral position, engage the parking
brake and stop the engine.
Safety guidelines for machines equipped with stabilizers:
Never use the stabilizers if the load is already raised; the
stabilizers can be used only to increase the stability of the
machine. Improper use of the stabilizers can cause
instability.
Ensure that the stabilizer indicator lamp is on before using
the boom.
Before raising any load, level the machine by means of the
level indicator.

DAMAGED MACHINE HAZARDS
• Do not use a damaged or defective machine.
• Do a thorough pre-operation inspection of the
machine and test all functions before each work
shift. Tag and remove from service a damaged
or defective machine.
• Make sure that all maintenance jobs have been
carried out as specified in this manual and the
appropriate service manual.
• Make sure that all decals are in place and
legible.
• Make sure that the operator’s is intact, legible
and placed in the special container located in the
machine.
PERSONAL INJURY HAZARDS
• Do not operate the machine in case of hydraulic
oil or air leak. Air or hydraulic oil leaks can
penetrate or burn the skin.
• Always operate the machine in a well ventilated
area to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning.
• Do not lower the boom if the area underneath is
not clear of personnel or obstructions.
SAFETY DEVICES
Several safety devices have been fitted to the
machine. They must never be tampered with or
removed.
Regularly check the efficiency of such devices.
In case of faults, stop working immediately and
proceed in replacing the defective device.
For the checking procedures, read chap.
"Maintenance"
MOMENT LIMITING SYSTEM
The moment limiting system has been developed to
help the operator to maintain the machine longitudinal
stability. Audible and visual messages are provided
when the limits of longitudinal stability are being
approached.
However this device cannot replace the experience
of the operator. It is up to the user to adopt the
necessary safety measures to work within the rated
limits of the machine.

WORKING CLOTHES
During work, but especially when maintaining or
repairing the machine, operators must wear suitable
protective clothing:
• Overalls or any other comfortable garments.
Operators should not wear clothes with large
sleeves or objects that can get stuck in moving
parts of the machine.
• Protective helmet.
• Protective gloves.
• Working shoes.
OTHER DANGERS
Hazards on the JOBSITE
Always take into account the features of the job site
where you are going to work:
• Always examine the working area and compare
it with the machine dimensions in the different
configurations.
DANGER
The machine is not electrically insulated and
does not provide protection from contact with
or proximity to electrical power lines.
Always keep at a minimum safe distance from
the telescopic boom and the lifted load. Electrical
hazards!
• Keep away from the machine in case of contact
with energized power lines. Personnel on the
ground must never touch or operate the machine
until energized power lines are shut off.
DANGER
Do not at any time use the machine during a
storm.
Use only type-approved working clothing in good
condition.
Personal PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Under special working conditions, the following
personal protective equipment should be used:
• Breathing set (or dust mask).
• Ear-protectors or equivalent equipment.
• Goggles or facial masks.
Use only type-approved protective equipment in
good condition.

WARNING
Make sure the machine (wheels and stabilisers)
rests on a firm ground to prevent hazardous unstable
conditions.
If the ground is not firm enough, position some
supporting planks under the stabilisers or the
wheels.
• Look for the best route to the job site.
• When the machine is running, nobody can enter
its working range.
• While working, keep the working area in order.
Never leave objects scattered: they could hinder
the machine movements and represent a danger
for personnel.
• In presence of trenches, lower the outriggers at
a safe distance from the trench edge.
OPERATION or MAINTENANCE hazards
Before any operation, following precautions should
be taken:
• First of all, make sure that the maintenance
interventions have been carried out with care
according to the established schedule.
WARNING
Set the machine to working configuration and sway
it. Use the special inclinometer to the right of the
driving place to check that the machine is level
before operating it.
• Ensure you have enough fuel to avoid a sudden
stop of the engine, especially during a crucial
manoeuvre.
• Clean instruments, data plates, lights and the
cab windscreen thoroughly.
• Check the correct functioning of all the safety
devices installed on the machine and in the job
site.
• In case of troubles or difficulties, inform the
foreman at once. Never start working under
unsafe conditions.
• Do not carry out any repair work in a makeshift
way to start working!
During work, and especially maintenance, always
pay the greatest attention:
• Do not walk or stop under raised loads or
machine parts supported by hydraulic cylinders
or ropes only.
• Keep the machine handholds and access steps
always clean from oil, grease or dirt to prevent
falls or slips.

• When entering/leaving the cab or other raised
parts, always face the machine; never turn the
back.
• Do not lubricate, clean or adjust moving parts.
• Do not carry out operations manually when
specific tools are provided for this purpose.
• Avoid the use of tools in bad condition or use in
an improper way i.e. pliers instead of adjustable
wrenches, etc.
• Applying loads in different points of the attachment
holding plate is forbidden.
WARNING
Any intervention on the hydraulic circuit must be
carried out by authorised personnel.
The hydraulic circuit of this machine is fitted
with pressure accumulators. You and others
could be seriously injured if accumulators are
not completely depressurised.
For this purpose, shut the engine down and step
on the brake pedal 8/10 times.
• When carrying out operations at hazardous
heights (over 1.5 meters from the ground), always
use approved fall restraint or fall arrest devices.
• Do not enter/leave the machine while it is
running.
• Do not leave the driving place when the machine
is running.
• Neither stop nor carry out interventions under
or between the machine wheels when engine
is running. When maintenance in this area is
required, stop the engine.
• Do not carry out maintenance or repair works
without a sufficient lighting.
• When using the machine lights, the beam should
be oriented in order not to blind the personnel at
work.
• Before applying voltage to electric cables or
components, check their connection and proper
functioning.
• Do not carry out interventions on electric
components with voltage over 48V.
• Do not connect wet plugs or sockets.
• Plates and hazard warning stickers shall never
be removed, hidden or become unreadable.
• Except for maintenance purposes, do not remove
safety devices, shields, protection cases, etc.
Should their removal be necessary, stop the
engine, remove them with the greatest care and
always remember to refit them before starting the
engine and using the machine again.
• Before any maintenance or repair work, stop the
engine and disconnect the batteries.
Safety precautions
• Before carrying out operations on hydraulic
lines under pressure or disconnecting hydraulic
components, ensure the relevant line has been
previously depressurised and does not contain
any hot fluid.
• Do not empty catalytic mufflers or other vessels
containing burning materials without taking the
necessary precautions.
• After any maintenance or repair work, make
sure that no tool, cloth or other object has been
left within machine compartments, fitted with
moving parts, or where suction and cooling air
circulates.
