PURPOSE OF THE MANUAL, CONSERVATION AND USE
Purpose
The purpose of the “Operations and Maintenance Manual” is to provide all those who will use the Green Climber LV800
with all the information necessary for its diligent use and maintenance in optimal conditions; particular attention has
therefore been given to ensure that this occurs in the most extensive safety conditions for operators. The equipment is
supplied to be used as specified in this manual. Operators are reminded to always be aware of safety aspects while
operating the machine, to improve its safety.
Conservation
- The following instructions must be followed closely in order to keep the manual in perfect conditions:
- Use the manual so that it is not damaged in any way;
- Do not remove, add, change or write in any part of the manual; updates may be carried out only by MDB S.r.l.
- Keep the manual in an area protected against damp, so that its life-time is not compromised;
- Hand over the manual to any other user or future owner of the machine.
Operations
Get to know the equipment before starting to use it by reading this manual carefully. Operators must be properly and fully
trained on the contents of Chapters 4 and 5 regarding machine operations and functions before using it for the first time.
The machine manufacturer may not be held responsible for damage to persons, animals, goods or the environment resulting
from the use of the equipment by operators not meeting the requirements.

DEMOLITION AND DISPOSAL OF THE MACHINE
For normal disposal of machinery (after demolition), all parts must be delivered to a company specialized in the transport,
disposal and/or recovery of waste.
The LV 800 is made up of components fixed to a welded steel frame. It is moved by rubber tracks. The machine track width
is variable and can be set by means of the remote control system. The diesel engine drives the machine’s hydraulic circuit
by means of hydraulic pumps. The LV 800 is a self-propelled machine designed to be used in agriculture and forestry.

Page10
There is a quick coupling at the front, only to be used for connecting equipment designed and built by MDB. The type of
equipment that can be applied to the LV 800, (only if authorized by the manufacturer), is as follows:
- Shredder;
- Cutter
- Atomiser;
- Grass cutter;
- Snow turbo;
- Snow removal blade;
- Glass shredder;
- Forestry shredder;
- Trunk cutter
Keys for machine operations
The keys that are delivered together with the machine must be used to start up the machine (for the start-up procedure see
the relevant section of Chapter 5) to be inserted in the appropriate slot on the control panel (See photo below).
In the case of lost keys, contact the manufacturer to request copies.
SIGNALS AND ALARMS
Visual
Operators must be informed regarding visual and acoustic signals relating to the machine indicating malfunctions or failures
before using the machine. Visual signals are indicated mainly by the LEDs on the remote control displays (description in
the following Chapter 3 on the control system) and are those relating to the operations phase. There are also visual signals
on the control panel, which are mainly related to the start-up phase.

Page11
Sound
The machine is equipped with two types of acoustic signals: the horn on the machine and the buzzer on the remote control.
Both acoustic signals go off when errors occur.
On the remote control
As anticipated in the previous point, the remote control is equipped with both visual signals (LED on the display of the same)
and acoustic signals in the case of errors (buzzer). The different types of signals are specifically described in chapter 5.
OPERATING CONDITIONS
Thanks to its extremely low centre of gravity, the LV 800 machine can easily work on any type of terrain, even on steep
slopes. The recommended safe working angle is 44° with the tracks open and 40° with the tracks closed, values determined
by calculations performed in accordance with EN ISO 16231-1: 2013 which specifies the principles for risk assessment with
reference to the design and construction of self-propelled machines with operator on board used in agriculture. MDB has
tested the machine on sandy terrain up to slopes of 55°; both with the tracks open and with the tracks closed the machine
showed excellent stability in all configurations that can be reached. The technical specifications of the machine would allow
use even on slopes greater than 55°, nevertheless, the inclinations indicated above resulting from the calculation report
(40° and 44° depending on the configuration of the tracks) should not be exceeded to ensure safe use.
The remote control allows the operator to work with peace of mind even on the most uncomfortable and impractical terrain
respecting some simple indications regarding the position of the operator with respect to the machine.
Caution!
The recommended inclination for working in safety, especially on soils with conformation other than sandy, should
not be exceeded.
On steep terrain, never stand or manoeuvre the machine from a position in the area below it, as the machine
could overturn in this area. Always stand or manoeuvre the machine from the area above it.

Page12
Danger!
On steep terrain, never stand or manoeuvre the machine from a position in the area below it, as the machine
could overturn in this area. Always stand or manoeuvre the machine from the area above it.
The LV 800 was built in compliance with the applicable work safety regulations, directives and applicable European
standards. Only the equipment indicated in Attachment B of this manual can be connected to it.
Before connecting equipment other than that indicated in the above indicated Attachment, the customer must request
authorisation from MDB’s technical department, which will perform the necessary checks and reply, confirming the
possibility of connection or not. If any equipment not intended by MDB for use with the LV 800 is connected, without first
requesting authorisation and receiving a formal reply, MDB is exempted from any constructional or functional liability
regarding the machine. For reasons of safety concerning people, goods and animals, the work area where the machine
must operate must always be cleared and marked out before the start of work, and the operator must forbid entry to non
authorized persons.
