The loading shovel has been designed and built for loading and unloading earth, gravel, sand,
debris and other loose material and is however suitable to operate in compliance with the features
and performance indicated in this manual.
It is a machine with Diesel internal combustion motorisation with hydrostatic transmission, joy-stick
type servo-controls for traversing and manoeuvre of the arms and the bucket.
Movement is obtained using four pneumatic tyres with suitable tread to operate inside without
damaging the floor.
The machine is equipped with an open or closed driver’s cabin with heating plant and an incorportaed
protective structure against tipping ROPS and against falling objects FOPS – 1st level.
FOPS 2nd level protection can be supplied on request for heavy duty and/or particular use; bolt in
replacement of the 4 eye-bolts.
MACHINE IDENTIFICATION
The machine is fitted with a special plate carrying
the identification data of the machine, riveted to the
left front side of the frame.
For any queries always quote the type and serial
number stated on the plate.
For further explanations, please consult the modes
on the Spare Parts Manual attached to the machine.
Other accessories which can be installed in the ma-
chine will be provided with their nameplate, which
can be seen from the external part of the accessory.
For further information consult the documentation
related to the specific element.

LOADING WITH RAMPS AND TRANSPORT BY TRUCK
The machine loading and unloading operations must be carried out on a compact and level
surface.
Check that the transport vehicle is in perfect condition. Apply the hand brake and insert safety
wedges at the front and rear of the rear axle tyres.
The vehicle engine must be off and the key removed from the ignition. The body must be level.
Position the machine at the rear of the truck, ensuring that the longitudinal axle coincides with that
of the truck.
Check that the ramps are suitable for the vehicle to be loaded. Only use homologated
and/or certified ramps.
Check that the ramps are perfectly clean and free of grease and that there is no risk
whatsoever of the tyres.
Check that the ramps are long enough to avoid problems during ascent and descent of the machine.
The length of the ramps must be such that their inclination with respect to the height of the truck
loading platform is between 15º and 16º.
PRESENTATION OF THE MACHINE

Check that the ramps are properly coupled to the transport vehicle and appropriately
spaced.
The width of the ramp must be such as to allow comfortable passage of the tyres.
The ascent and descent operations must always be carried out with the machine running and the
hydraulic oil at operating temperature.
Do not use the ramps as a gangway for crossing from one vehicle to the next.
For loading and unloading of the machine it is recommended to ascend in reverse gear and de-
scend in forward gear. In both cases it is recommended to keep the arm lowered and the bucket
turned downwards, parallel to the ramps. Block the eventual lowering of the loading platform with
a truss or other equipment.
Before ascending or descending, check perfect alignment between the tyres and the
ramps. Do not steer or adjust direction while on the ramps. If necessary, return to the point
of departure, repositioning correctly.
Caution of passage in the connection area between the ramps and the loading
platform of the truck; the steep slope must be negotiated by moving very slowly and with
extreme caution. Be twice as careful in the descent phase since the unbalance towards the bottom
in this case is much higher. It is recommended to lower the arms and turn the bucket forwards to
allow eventual emergency shutdown.
All the loading and unloading operations of the machine must be carried out and co-
ordinated by at least a second person who controls good progress of the operations.

TRANSPORT
Once the machine has been positioned on the loading platform, also rest the bucket on it lightly and
block the machine in a longitudinal direction by inserting wedges to the outside of the front and rear
axle tyres.
For transversal and vertical blocking use belts to prevent lateral and vertical movement
owing to jolts during transport.
Measure and check the maximum height of the load. During transport always follow the road
regulations and the specific regulations in force in the various countries of transit.
LIFTING
Check that the cabin is correctly fixed to the frame before lifting the machine.
Use the 4 supplied eye-bolts to lift the machine, by fixing them to the special seats located on the
roof of the cabin.
If the eyebolts are removed, close the four seats with the plastic caps
supplied. Any infiltration of water could seriously damage the electrical
system of the right-hand and left-hand dashboard.
Restrict the lifting area, prohibiting access to foreign personnel. Do not pass over persons or things
and ensure that the loading area is free of any obstacles (electric and telephone cables, etc.).
IT IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED TO WALK OR STAND UNDER THE SUSPENDED LOADS.
- Use cables or chains with adequate capacity for the load to be lifted.
- Attach the ropes or chains to the previously bolted eye-bolts and proceed with lifting avoiding
sudden movements and dangerous machine swaying.
- During transport follow the instructions previously recommended.

2 - Shovel blocking pin in maximum lifting position
3 - Shovel sharp edge lateral and front protections.
4 - Plate positioning.
5 - Frame number punching area.
PRESCRIPTIONS
- Working system commands must be blocked. Involuntary lifting of arms is prevented by the
hydraulic block inserted on start-up of the machine.
Disconnection and insertion is controlled by a button (Fig.1 - ref. 4) on the right command panel.
- Obligation for approved yellow flashing light. This functions even when the use of a lighting
device is not obligatory.
- Front loading shovel in max. lifting position and blocked to the frame using the special retainer.
- The shovel’s sharp edge must be protected by a special protection indicated with red and white
reflective stripes.
- The working lights must always be switched off.

Carefully follow the safety warnings contained in the manual and applied on the vehicle; these signal
a potential danger and point out the precautions to take to prevent it. If the warning message is not
fully understood, ask for an explanation from your employer or from your authorised dealer.
- For the entire period of use of the machine, be aware of the possible dangers and take care to
prevent them.
- Inobservance of the regulations for use and maintenance make the machine dangerous to both
the operator and others.
- Do not use the machine until it has been mastered perfectly.
- Do not start any work before having ascertained that your own safety and that of others is safe-
guarded.
- The safety prescriptions are pointed out on the parts and/or controls through special adhesive
labels. Keep them clean or replace them when they become illegible.
- Clothing must be as suitable as possible for the job, and in particular, not loose-hanging; avoid
scarves and ties. Follow the regulations concerning the use of individual protection, in particular:
- Rigid helmet
- Headphones
- Shoess
