administrative and/or criminal penalties. The entity of
these penalties depends on the road rules in force in
the country in which the vehicle is used.

12 SAFETY AND WARNINGS SECTION
GENERAL DANGER
INFORMATION
Fit a “DO NOT OPERATE” or similar tag to the start up
switch or to the controls before carrying out
maintenance or repairs on the vehicle.
The vehicle must be used only by suitably qualified
trained personnel. Driving permission must be issued
by the work site manager where the vehicle is to be
used. The driving permit is strictly personal and must
not be used by others.
Note the vehicle dimensions in order to be able to
keep at a safety distance from surrounding obstacles
during use.
Pay attention to the presence of high voltage lines,
both overhead and underground. In case of contact
between the vehicle and high voltage electricity lines,
there may be intense electric shocks which can cause
injuries, even fatal.
Wear the personal protective equipment necessary
for the type of operations to be carried out.
Do not wear loose clothing, jewellery or metal objects
which can get entangled in the controls or other parts
of the vehicle.
Make sure all the guards and covers are fitted
correctly on the vehicle.
Keep the vehicle in perfect working condition by
carrying out the scheduled maintenance punctually
and scrupulously.
Unless otherwise specified, carry out the maintenance
operations with the vehicle in the maintenance
position.
Dispose of the used liquids in compliance with the
regulations in force in the country where the vehicle is
used.
Clean the vehicle daily. Remove debris, oil, tools and
other objects from the steps, passages and treading
surfaces.
NO SMOKING
Do not smoke or light naked flames under any
circumstances whatsoever.
Naked flames in contact with fuel, oil or solvents
present on the vehicle or necessary for its
maintenance can cause injuries, even fatal.
Inhalation of gases produced by a flame or contact
with coolant gas can cause injury to the respiratory
airways, even fatal.
Pressurised air and water
Pressurised water can cause injury to tissues,
especially if accompanied by debris. Compressed air
can cause injuries.
If water or compressed air is used for cleaning
operations, wear suitable protective equipment, in
particular for sensitive organs like the eyes.
The maximum air pressure for cleaning must be less
than 2 bar. The maximum water pressure must be
less than 3 bar.

SAFETY AND WARNINGS SECTION 13
Penetration of fluids
The pressure values in the hydraulic circuit may
remain high for a long time even after the vehicle is
switched off. If not discharged properly, the pressure
can cause violent ejection of oil and objects.
Do not disconnect or dismantle any of the hydraulic
components if the pressure has not been discharged
correctly, as this can lead to serious accidents.
Refer to the maintenance section of this Manual for
the methods for discharging the hydraulic pressure
correctly.
Limiting the ejection of liquids
It is necessary to deal with the leakage of liquids during
the operations carried out on the vehicle. Provide
suitable containers for collecting the liquids before
acting on any component of the vehicle containing
fluids.
Dispose of the liquids used in compliance with the
regulatory standards in force in the country in which
the vehicle will be used.
Information regarding asbestos
Magni T.H. products and spare parts are asbestos-free.
Using non genuine spare parts can lead to risk of
handling products containing asbestos.
Avoid inhaling dusts which may be produced when
handling components containing asbestos fibres.
Inhaling these dusts can be harmful for health.
The non original components which may contain
asbestos are the friction elements of the brakes and
clutches, linings and types of gaskets. The asbestos used
in these components is generally immersed in resin or
sealed in another manner. Normal handling is not
hazardous as long as suspended dusts are not produced.
If dusts containing asbestos are present, the
following precautions must be taken:
-Do not use compressed air for cleaning;
-Avoid brushing materials containing asbestos;
-Avoid grinding materials containing asbestos;
-Use wet cleaning methods for parts containing
asbestos;
-Equip the work area with appropriate air extractors;
-If there are no other methods for controlling the
dusts, wear a suitable respiratory mask;
-Avoid areas where asbestos particles may be present
in the air.
Prevention of cuts and crushing
Support the equipment adequately before carrying
out any kind of work on it. Do not rely on hydraulic
jacks for supporting the equipment: these may fall if a
tube breaks or in case of involuntary activation.
Do not try to make any adjustment while the vehicle is
in motion or with the engine switched on, unless
otherwise specified.
Avoid tampering with the electrical system of the
vehicle to try starting the engine. This may cause
involuntary movements of the equipment.
Keep at a safe distance while operating the equipment
using the control levers. Increase the safety distance if
there is a possibility of the moving parts making rapid
and sudden movements.
If it is necessary to remove the safety devices fitted on
the vehicle to carry out maintenance or repairs, always
refit these at the end of operations.
Keep limbs away from the moving fan blades. The fast
moving blades are comparable to sharp blades, and
can cause serious tears. Keep small objects away from
the moving fan blades. Theblades may throw off these
objects at high speed, making it dangerous for the
safety of persons.
Do not use frayed or bent steel cables. Always wear
protective gloves while handling steel cables.
If a pin is tapped with great force, it may come out of
its seat suddenly. A pin thrown off with force can cause
serious injuries to persons in the vicinity. If tapping on
a pin, make sure there is no one in the surrounding
area.

14 SAFETY AND WARNINGS SECTION
Preventing burns
Do not touch the engine or any components directly
connected to it during operation. Allow the engine to
cool down before carrying out any maintenance.
Before disconnecting any component of the hydraulic
or pneumatic circuits, make sure all the residual
pressure has been discharged from the circuit.
Coolants
When the engine is at operating temperature, the
coolant is very hot and at high pressure. The radiator
and all the piping connected to it are filled with hot
pressurised coolant.
Contact with the hot coolant or with vapour can cause
serious injuries. Allow the entire cooling system to
cool down before carrying out any intervention.
Before removing the radiator cap, make sure it is not
hot. Remove the radiator cap slowly to discharge the
residual pressure.
The liquid in the cooling system contains HFC
(hydrofluorocarbons). At ambient temperature and
pressure the HFC released in the air can cause
asphyxia. Do not handle HFC in the presence of naked
flames. HFC at high pressure or temperature can give
rise to toxic and corrosive chemical agents. Always use
appropriate personal protective equipment during
operations involving HFC.
Oils
Oil and components at high temperature can cause
burns. Do not allow boiling hot oil to come in contact
with the skin. Do not touch hot components.
Remove the hydraulic fluid tank cap only after
stopping the engine. Make sure the cap is cold enough
to be touched with bare hands.
Batteries
The electrolyte present in the batteries is acid. Do not
let the electrolyte come in contact with the tissues.
Always wear protective goggles when acting on the
batteries. Wash hands thoroughly after touching the
batteries or electric connectors. Use of protective
gloves is recommended.
Prevention of fires and
explosions
All fuels, most lubricants and certain coolant mixtures
are flammable.
Flammable fluids that come in contact with hot parts
can cause fire, leading to considerable personal
damage/injury.
Do not leave flammable material on the vehicle unless
it is strictly necessary for its operation.
Store fuels and lubricants in suitable containers,
marked specifically, and kept out of reach of
unauthorised persons. Store greasy rags or any
flammable materials in protective containers. Do not
smoke in areas provided for storage of flammable
material.
Do not use the vehicle in the vicinity of fire or naked
flames.
Do not carry out welding operations near piping or
tanks containing flammable fluids. Before carrying out
these operations, drain out the piping and tanks and
clean all parts thoroughly with non flammable
solvents.
Bare electric wires can cause fires or explosions. Check
the electrical system daily. Repair or replace damaged
wires before starting the vehicle.
Leakage of flammable liquid from the systems onboard
can cause fire or explosions. Check all the piping and
their supports daily. Repair or replace damaged
hydraulic piping. Replace damaged fuel piping.
Take utmost care while refuelling. Do not smoke while
refuelling. Do not refuel in the vicinity of sparks or
naked flames. Always switch off the engine before
refuelling. Do not carry out refuelling operations in
closed poorly ventilated places.
The batteries can produce explosive gases. Do not
smoke or use naked flames in the vicinity of the
batteries.

SAFETY AND WARNINGS SECTION 15
Connecting the poles in short circuit can cause the
battery to explode. Do not place metallic objects on
the surface of the batteries. Do not connect the
batteries differently from the method described in this
Manual.
Extinguisher
It is advisable to provide the vehicle with an
extinguisher. Learn to use the extinguisher and follow
the Manufacturer’s instructions. Carry out regular
maintenance and periodic replacement of the
extinguisher.
Ether
Ether is extremely flammable. If it is used for making it
easier to start up the engine in cold climates or for any
other purpose, adopt the following precautions.
Use ether in the open or in well ventilated areas.
Do not smoke while using ether. Do not use ether in
the presence of naked flames, sparks or electrostatic
discharges.
Do not place ether cylinders in the operator’s cab or in
areas where workers are present. Do not expose ether
cylinders for long periods to direct sunlight or
temperatures exceeding 50 °C. Do not place ether
cylinders near naked flames, sparks or electrostatic
discharges.
Dispose of ether cylinders in accordance with the
regulatory standards in force. Do not damage ether
cylinders. Keep ether cylinders out of reach of
unauthorised persons.
Do not spray ether in an engine if the latter is fitted
with thermal devices to facilitate start up in cold
climates.
Piping
Do not bend or damage the high pressure piping.
Do not install bent or damaged piping on the vehicle.
Repair or replace damaged piping promptly. Leakage
can cause fire or explosions. Contact your Dealer for
original spare parts and repairs.
Make sure the piping is installed correctly to prevent
vibrations, rubbing or excessive heat from affecting
the duration.
Information regarding AdBlue
(DEF)
AdBlue is a water-soluble non flammable, non toxic,
colourless, odourless liquid. It may be referred to as
“urea” or “DEF” (Diesel Exhaust Fluid).
If AdBlue comes in contact with painted surfaces or
aluminium, wash the areas concerned immediately
with water.
Do not mix AdBlue with any additive. Mixing
additives with AdBlue can cause serious faults in the
plant for post-treatment of exhaust gases.
Any impurity present in AdBlue can cause
malfunctioning of the engine and of the exhaust gases
post treatment system. Make sure the AdBlue is free
of impurities. Do not reuse the AdBlue extracted from
the system.
This sign is positioned near the AdBlue tank connector.

16 SAFETY AND WARNINGS SECTION
AdBlue and high temperatures
The chemical composition of AdBlue can change if
exposed to temperatures exceeding 50 °C, releasing
ammonia vapours.
Ammonia vapours are highly toxic and corrosive.
Ammonia vapours have a pungent smell, and irritate:
-The skin;
-The airways;
-The eyes.
Do not open the AdBlue tank or any part of its supply
circuit while the liquid is hot.
Strictly avoid inhaling ammonia vapours or contact
with the eyes and skin.
In case of contact with any part of the body, rinse
immediately with water for at least 15 minutes and
see a doctor immediately.
AdBlue and low temperatures
AdBlue freezes at temperatures below -11 °C.
However, it is possible to use the vehicle below -11 °C.
AdBlue crystals are mainly formed in the tubes
between the engine and silencer. Wash with water to
remove these crystals.
Storage and disposal
To store AdBlue, use only containersmade of one or more
of the following materials:
- Cr-Ni steel according to standard DIN EN 10088-1 /2 /3;
- Mo-Cr-Ni steel according to standard DIN EN 10088-1 /2 /3;
-Polypropylene;
-Polyethylene.
Do not use containers made of the following materials:
-Aluminium;
-Copper;
-Copper alloys;
-Non-alloy carbon steels;
-Galvanised steels.
AdBlue can corrode these materials and cause severe
damage to the exhaust gases post-treatment system.
Dispose of AdBlue in accordance with the standards in
force in the country in which the vehicle is used.
For drive units satisfying the Stage IV and Stage V
anti-pollution standards, in order to protect the
AdBlue purification system, wait at least 5 minutes
after the I.C. engine is switched off, before acting on
the main electric circuit to disconnect it.
Regeneration
After a predefined period of use or use which affects
the working, the filters for scrubbing fine dust emissions
require regeneration.
This eventuality is automatically established by the
engine diagnostics control unit which can be enabled
on the Engine Data page of the multi-function panel
(green button), as shown below.
This automatic function can be disabled by the user for
operating requirements (e.g. instructions from the site
manager, work in closed areas where this operation is
strongly advised against, such as tunnels or
warehouses) by pressing the green button indicated.
The green button turns red and in this mode automatic
regeneration is inhibited.
With the automatic regeneration mode disabled, it is
the sole choice of the operator who can check the
engine data on the specific page and decide when to
run it.
If this is not run within a certain period of time, the
vehicle first indicates it with a banner on the multi-
function display, so if this request is not met in a short
time it goes into progressive derating, in order to
preserve the engine and filters, until it stops (see data
in the AdBlue derating table in the attached Volvo
Penta manual).

SAFETY AND WARNINGS SECTION 17
Proceed as follows to run manual regeneration.
As indicated by the warning, the vehicle must be
brought to the rest position with the boom retracted
and lowered, stabilised, in idle gear, parking brake on
and ensure that the vehicle is in an open sufficiently
ventilated environment.
Press the button in the top right hand corner to
access the correct alarms page displaying the specific
regeneration activation button.
Once regeneration lasting 30-40 minutes is active, all
vehicle movements are inhibited.
DANGER OF BURNS
During the regeneration, temperatures to the order of
600 °C are reached at the end of the exhaust pipe.
Before activating the regeneration procedures, the
operator must check the area around the vehicle, if
flammable material is present within a range of
5 metres, and if it is impossible to limit operators
from approaching the area, the vehicle must be
moved to an isolated area to avoid accidental fires or
burns.
Accident prevention in case of
thunderstorms with lightning
Never try to climb on or get down from the vehicle if
lighting strikes in the vicinity.
The operator in the cab must stay inside until the
thunderstorm and lightning is over.
If on the ground during a thunderstorm with lightning,
the operator must move away from the vehicle and
keep at a safe distance.
