1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. PURPOSE OF THE USE AND MAINTENANCE HANDBOOK
This user handbook (or just handbook) provides the user with useful information to appropriately and safely work.
What follows must not be considered as a long and onerous list of warnings, but as a set of instructions to improve
the machine performances and prevent damages to people, objects or animals that can result from wrong
procedures.
Every person responsible for the transport, setup, start-up, use, maintenance,
reparation and disposal of the machine must carefully read the handbook
before doing any operation in order to prevent wrong and inconvenient
maneuvers that might affect the machine integrity or might be hazardous for
people.
If after reading this manual you still have doubts or uncertainties concerning the machine use, please contact the
Manufacturer without any hesitation. The Manufacturing Company is available to assure an immediate and
accurate attendance for the better functioning and maximum efficiency of the machine.
Finally, it is important to remind that during all working phases the current regulations on safety, workplace
hygiene and environmental conservation must be fully respected. It is therefore the User's responsibility to check
that the machine is operated under optimum safety conditions for people and objects as well.
This handbook is to be considered an integral part of the machine and together with the Conformity Declaration
must be stored in a safe place and must accompany the machine if it is resold or until it is demolished.
This handbook has been edited according to the regulations in effect at the time of its printing.
The Manufacturing company reserves the right to change the equipment without promptly updating this
publication. In case of objection the valid reference text remains the Italian one.
Some images of this handbook show details or accessories that might be different from those of your machine.
Parts or protections might have been removed to ensure clarity of representations.
Instructions, drawings and documents contained in the manual are property of the company and remain strictly
confidential. They may not be reproduced in any way, neither in whole nor partially.
1.2. HOW TO READ THE HANDBOOK
This handbook is subdivided in autonomous chapters and each of them addresses to a different operator
(INSTALLER, CONDUCTOR AND MAINTEINER) for whom have been defined the necessary abilities to safely work
on the machine.
The order of the chapters corresponds to the temporal logic of the machine life.
For a better understanding of the text you can find terms, abbreviations and pictograms, whose significance is
explained in the paragraph 1.5.
The handbook is made of a cover, a table of contents and a series of chapters.
In the initial page are indicated the identification data, the model and a photo/drawing of the machine described
to facilitate the reader in its identification and the related handbook.
1.3. HANDBOOK CONSERVATION
The handbook must be stored with care and must accompany the machine at all stages of property that the same
may have in its life. The handbook must be handled with care, with clean hands and it must not be placed on dirty
surfaces. Parts of the handbook must not be removed, torn off or arbitrarily modified.
The handbook must be stored in a dry place and/or near the machine it refers to.
The Manufacturer, at the User’s request, can provide him with more copies of the handbook.
1.4. HANDBOOK UPDATING


WZ –D USE AND MAINTENANCE HANDBOOK

Information, descriptions and illustrations in this handbook reflect the state of the machine at the moment of its
commercialization.
The Manufacturer reserves the right to make changes, at any time, to the machine for technical or commercial
reasons. These alterations do no obligate the Manufacturer to intervene on commercial vehicles sold up to that
moment nor to consider this handbook an inadequate publication.
Possible additions the Manufacturer considers necessary to make in the future will have to be preserved together
with the handbook and considered an integral part of it.
It is the User’s responsibility to substitute in all copies the old chapters, the initial page and the table of contents
with the new ones, following the directions that come together with the updated documentation.
The Manufacturer is responsible for the Italian descriptions; translations cannot be completely verified, so if there
is an incongruity you must pay attention to the Italian version and eventually contact the business office that will
edit the text.
1.5. GLOSSARY AND PICTOGRAMS
This section lists those terms which are not common or have a different meaning from the ordinary usage. It also
includes the abbreviations used in the handbook and the pictograms significance to help identifying the Operator
