1.7 WARRANTY

i
The information below is an extract from the guarantee
agreement which the customer must sign when he
accepts delivery of the machine.

1.7.1 COMMISSIONING NEW MACHINES

The distributor, agent or customer must check the condition

of the machine and fill in a Machine Test Sheet during the
testing phase, which must be sent to the Faresin-Handlers
after-sales service in order to activate the warranty.
The Machine Test Sheet must be filled in correctly with all
the information requested:
• complete name and address (postcode), customer’s
telephone no. and fax no., stamped and signed by the
distributor or agent.
• machine type, serial number and date the machine was
commissioned.
One copy of the Machine Test Sheet must be retained by the
authorised dealer or by the agent.
It is important that any defects identified when the machine is
started up be cleared up during the machine testing phase in
order to reduce the amount of servicing required under warranty
during the first month of use

1.7.2 CONDITIONS, OBLIGATIONS,

EXCLUSIONS FROM THE WARRANTY

Control and maintenance of the machine

The client must follow the manufacturer’s instructions
concerning maintenance of the machine, in particular with
regard to the regular controls and overhauls.
For the overhaul required after 250 hours of operation and
after the first month of use, the customer must prove that
maintenance on the machine has been carried out as directed.
The non-observance of these conditions automatically
invalidates the warranty.

Warranty conditions
The Faresin-Handlers w arranty does not cover the
consequences of normal wear, nor the defects, failures or
damage in general caused by poor maintenance or by
incorrect use of the machine, with particular reference to
overloading or changing the characteristics of the product.
Furthermore, the work time as indicated systematically by
the hourmeter must be recorded after every servicing.

Chapter 1 - General Information

15
 Mod.
Operating and Service Manual TELESCOPIC ELEVATOR 40-17 • 30-17
42-14 • 35-14

The hourmeter must be kept in good working condition to

guarantee its continued effectiveness over time and its
reliability as a measuring device for maintenance.
In the event of operation which does not comply with the
guidelines in the use and maintenance manual, the request
for warranty shall not be considered.
The warranty is immediately invalidated and in full rights if
the fault is due to one of the following:
• If non-original Faresin-Handlers parts are used
• If elements or products other than those recommended
by the manufacturer are used
• If the Faresin-Handlers identification mark, name or serial
numbers are erased or altered.
• If too much time elapses before the manufacturing defect
is reported.
• If the customer continues to use the machine even though
he is aware of a problem.
• If damage results from a modification of the machine which
is not included in the Faresin-Handlers specifications.
• If lubricants, hydraulic oils or fuels which do not
correspond to Faresin-Handlers guidelines are used.
• If incorrect repairs are made, if the customer uses the
machine incorrectly or if an accident is caused by third
parties.
All requests for warranty after the established period has
elapsed, shall not be considered.

Consumables
Any object or part replaced under the normal conditions of
machine use shall not be covered by the warranty (battery,
tyres, windows, brushes, flexible tubes, tubes, filters).

Adjustments
Adjustments on the machine may be required at any time;
consequently, adjustment operations are considered normal
conditions of use and are not covered by warranty.

Contamination of the fuel and hydraulic circuits

Every precaution must be taken to ensure that the diesel oil
and the hydraulic oil are supplied in good condition. On the
other hand it is possible, in some cases, to contaminate the
fuel and hydraulic circuits, mainly when the fuels and lubricants
are stored at the work place.
Furthermore, if the decanting device is not cleaned thoroughly
and on a regular basis the fuel circuit could become
contaminated, with subsequent damage of the organs that
come into direct contact with the fuel.
Faresin-Handlers shall not accept any requests for warranty
regarding the cleanliness of the fuel circuit, the filter, the
injection pump or any other equipment that comes into direct
contact with the fuels and lubricants.

Consumable parts (sliding blocks, bearings,

bushings, tyres, connections)
These parts by definition are subject to deterioration during
the work cycle. Obviously these parts cannot be covered by
warranty.

Equipment applied to the machine

All equipment which is not fitted with moving organs, driven
by hydraulic or electric controls or other non-human sources
of energy shall not be covered by the warranty.

1.8 GUIDELINES

1.8.1 INTENDED USE OF THE MACHINE

The FH series elevators, are self-propelled, tyred vehicles

with single driver/operator seat, intended for use on flat or
uneven surfaces with suitable precautions.
The extendable boom on the vehicle makes operations such
as lifting, transporting and handling loads possible.
The machine has been designed and constructed to work in
outdoor environments; several special accessories are available
if the machine is to be used in closed or underground
environments where there must be, in any case, no risk of any
kind of explosion (contact your sales network for details).

1.8.2 UNINTENDED USE

• Do not use the machine for purposes other than those for
which it was built.
• Do not exceed the technical limits of the machine as
indicated in the chapter entitled “Technical Data”.
• Do not use the machine in explosive environments

!
Use of the machine under any of these conditions
relieves the manufacturer of all responsibility for any
accidents to persons or things and immediately
invalidates the warranty which makes the user the sole
responsible person as far as the law is concerned.

2.2.5 ADJUSTING THE SEAT

The seat can be adjusted according to the driver’s weight

and height.

Weight adjustment (photo A)Regolazione del

peso (foto A)
This adjustments act on the suspension of the seat and
ensures the maximum driving comfort based on the driver’s 3
weight; the range covers weights from 50 to 120 kg (110- 1
264 lb).
Turn the hand grip (1) in a counter-clockwise direction (+
sign) to adjust the seat to a heavier weight, clockwise (-
sign) to adjust the seat to a lesser weight.

Height adjustment (photo A) A 2

Turn the hand grip (2) in a clockwise direction to raise the

seat, counter-clockwise to lower it.

Forward – back adjustment (photo A)

While seated, shift the lever (3) outwards to release the seat
and to slide it forwards or backwards; when it is in the optimal
position release the lever.

Adjusting the backrest (photo B)

Grip the sides of the backrest and push it up or down.

Tipping up the seat (photo C)

Press the lever down (5) and move the back of the seat
forward. B
This operation gives access to the compartment behind the
seat where the accessories, the instruction handbooks and
the rear window washer unit tank are stored.
The armrests (6) can be folded up.

i
• The seat is provided with a sensor which signals 6
the operator’s presence.
• If the operator gets off the seat while the engine is
switched on, the sensor automatically activates the
5
brakes; consequently during transfers, particularly if
travelling at a high speed and even with the seat belts
fastened, the operator must remain seated correctly
at all times, otherwise he risks having the machine
come to an unintentional, abrupt halt.
• The vehicle with the engine running but without
C
the driver in the cab, is braked automatically.

h
i
• The belt is adjusted correctly when it sits firmly
across the hips and does not restrict any movements
when driving.
3
• Using the belt increases the sensation and level of
operator safety and reduces the risk of accidents.
• The driver’s cab has been designed to support the
weight of the machine in case of rollover (ROPS); it is
important to keep the seat belts fastened at all times
to prevent you from being thrown out of the cab and
squashed in the event of a rollover.

• Never attempt to get out of the machine if you notice

that it is about to roll over.
• You are safe if you remain inside the cab; its steel
structure is specifically dimensioned to protect the
operator inside it.
• Do not leave the cab until the machine is at a com-
plete standstill.

3.31 Parking brake switch

Replaces the classic manual lever. To operate the switch the
mechanical block on the switch must be shifted downwards;
this will prevent accidental engagement/disengagement of
the parking brake. When the brake is operated, the red
indicator on the switch lights up.

!
• Always press the switch before leaving the machine
even for brief periods.
• When the engne is switched off and the ignition
key is in the “0” position, the hydraulic pressure
necessary is missing, so the machine is blocked
completely, as if the parking brake is engaged.

It is, however, possible to release the brakes when the engine

is not running, and this is also necessary for towing the
machine.
The circuit is provided with a hydraulic accumulator which,
thanks to its charge, keeps the braking hydraulic circuit
pressurized even with the engine switched off.
To operate the accumulator, just turn the ignition key once.
Every time the accumulator is activated, it loses a part of its
charge; the accumulator charge remains useful for up to 3-4
activations, after which, to move the machine, the brakes
must be released manually by acting on the front axle bolts.
The charge remains constant except in case of accidental
entrainment or leakage of oil, but in this case the accumulator

[Link] ROLLOVER PROTECTION SYSTEM

DISPLAY

The machine has a rollover protection system that continually ..8.4

monitors the weight of the load compared to the length and
inclination of the boom; if this exceeds a certain limit, the
system stops the aggravating movements of the boom
immediately.
A series of electronic sensors carry out this control.
When the vehicle is switched on, with the boom at rest, the
device is switched on as shown by indicator light (1) and the
weight check graphic display.
This display consists of a series of different coloured vertical
bars each of which has a signal LED at its base (3).
The LEDs light up in sequence as the operative limits are
approached (0% - 100%).
The different LED colours have different meanings:
• green = load degrees (4 bars x 4 LEDs)
1 2 3
• yellow = pre-alarm (1 bar x 1 LED)
• red = alarm. (1 bar x 1 LED)
When the yellow LED lights up, an intermittent acoustic signal
is emitted.
When the red LED lights up, all the aggravating movements
of the boom are stopped and the frequency of the acoustic
signal increases.
The yellow light (2) indicates that the stabilisers are in the
lowered position. 4

Keeping the key (optional) turned to the right in position (4)

will:
• deactivate the rollover protection system;
• exclude the boom raised sensor.

Temporary suspension of rollover protection

device
When lifting an unknown weight which exceeds the permitted
load for the machine, the system automatically locks the
downward movements which prevents the machine from
depositing the load.
To exit this condition, interrupt lifting operations immediately
and, keeping key (4) turned, lower the load gently.

[Link] PEDALS

! ..8.5
The pedals must be kept free from obstacles at all times.
No objects which could end up under the pedals must
be allowed in the pedal zone.
Do not use mats or other extra floor coverings:
• a fault in the braking system could require a longer
pedal stroke
• you must always be able to press the “inching” and
“brake” pedals all the way to the floor
• all the pedals must be able to return to the home
position without any obstacles in the way.
For these reasons only mats which leave the pedal
zone free and which have a non-slip surface are
allowed.

1
2

6/1 Inching forward

The inching pedal is built into the service brake pedal (1).
It acts in the first part of the brake pedal stroke making it
possible to carry out slow, accurate movements, also with
the machine engine running at full speed.
Attention: keeping the pedal pressed excessively will stop
the machine since it will activate the actual brake.

It is dangerous for both the machine and for you if you

press the pedal to the floor while the machine is moving
at fast speeds, in fact:
• The inching acts on a very small part of the stroke,
a sudden braking may also result if the pedal is pressed
more than is necessary (the service brake is activated).
• the abrupt stop can cause you to lose the load you
are carrying.
• Using inching to brake deceleration is not indicated
by the rear lights as is the case with normal braking
therefore there is serious risk of an accident with the
vehicle behind.
• with the sudden deceleration, the seat belt , which
you should have fastened, can cause a physical trau-
ma

6/2 Service Brake

Press pedal (1) to slow down or stop the machine; the action
is transmitted to the servo-assisted brake valve which acts
on the brake pads inside the anterior differential axle.
As it is a servo assisted brake, the pressure exerted on the
pedal has little influence on the braking.
Even if pressed to a small extent, the brake stops decisively.

i
The active parts of the service and parking brake 1
systems, are integrated inside the front axle. 2
Both are oil bath disc brakes, a system that guarantees
consistent efficiency and effectiveness over time as
well as being practically maintenance-free.

The operating principle is hydraulic.

Pressing the pedal will shift the brake valve box which allows
oil to flow to the brakes box thereby pressing the brake disks
together.
When the pedal is not activated the brakes are free, whether
the machine is switched on or off.
An indicator light (3) warns of a pressure drop in the braking
circuit.

6/3 Accelerator
The accelerator pedal (2) is connected to the engine injection
pump by means of a steel wire.
Press the pedal to increase the engine speed, release it to
reduce the speed.

3.1 GUIDELINES

3.1.1 TAMPERING

Do not tamper with or remove the ID plates or safety devices

installed on the machine.
!
Tampering with the safety devices and the non-
observance of the warning signs relieves the
manufacturer of all responsibility for any damage to
things or accidents to people and makes the person
who carries out the actions the sole responsible person
as far as the law is concerned.

3.1.2 NOISE

Long-term exposure to loud noise can damage your hearing

or even cause loss of hearing.

!
Always wear hearing protection, such as earplugs or
muffs, when operating on the machine.

3.2 GENERAL

The machine is fitted with several safety devices designed to

increase the degree of safety for the operator, but also to
avoid the dangers arising from the operator’s manoeuvring
errors or carelessness.
The devices are listed below.

3.3 DRIVER’S CAB

The cab is ROPS and FOPS type-approved as specified for

earth-moving machinery. h
ROPS = rollover protective structure
FOPS = falling-object protective structure
If the machine you are operating is about to rollover, remain
inside the cab as this is your best protection.

3.3.1 SEAT BELTS

!
• It is important to keep seat belts fastened at all
times to avoid being thrown out of the cab and h
squashed if the machine should overturn.
• The belt is correctly adjusted when is sits firmly
across the hips and does not restrict any movements
required for driving.
• Using the belt increases the sensation and level of
operator safety and reduces the risk of accidents.

3.3.2 EMERGENCY EXIT

The rear window is also the emergency exit.

To open the window completely in case of need, slide the
stop device upwards (1) and push the window out with your
hand. 1

Do not open the window completely except in a real

h

emergency; when it is completely open the window

can interfere with the angular movement of the
telescopic boom and consequently be a shearing
hazard.

length and inclination of the boom; if this exceeds a certain
limit, the system stops the aggravating movements of the
boom immediately.
A series of electronic sensors carry out this control.
When the vehicle is switched on, with the boom at rest, the
device is switched on as shown by indicator light (1) and the
weight check graphic display.
This display consists of a series of different coloured vertical
bars each of which has a LED at its base (3).
The LEDs light up in sequence as the operative limits are
approached (0% - 100%).
The different LED colours have different meanings:
• green = load degrees (4 bars x 4 LEDs)
• yellow = pre-alarm (1 bar x 1 LED)
• red = alarm (1 bar x 1 LED)
When the yellow LED lights up, an intermittent acoustic signal
is emitted.
When the red LED lights up, all the aggravating movements
of the boom are stopped and the frequency of the acoustic
signal increases.
The yellow light (2) indicates that the stabilisers are in the
lowered position.
Keeping the key (optional) turned to the right in position (4) 1 2 3
will:
• deactivate the rollover protection system.
• exclude the boom raised sensor.

h
Temporary suspension of rollover protection
device

• When lifting an unknown weight which exceeds the

permitted load for the machine, the system
automatically locks the downward movements which
prevents the machine from depositing the load.
• To exit this condition interrupt the lifting operations
immediately and, keeping the key turned, lower the
load gently.

• This key is only to be used in the emergency

situation described above.
• Before turning off the device, the operator must
consider the action very closely. When the device is
turned off, control of machine stability is no longer
guaranteed and there is a real risk of the machine
rolling over.
• The operator assumes complete responsibility for
the movements of the machine and must be aware of
the consequences that his actions could provoke.

3.4.4 CONTROLLING THE BOOM

(Connected to the rollover protection device).

The extension and the inclination of the boom are controlled
movements.
When the boom is in the raised position or extended:
• the stabilisers are deactivated;
• the horizontal levelling device is deactivated;
• the machine moves at a reduced speed

3.4.5 CONTROLLING THE STABILISERS

A
(Connected to the rollover protection device). B
The position of each of the stabilisers is controlled by two
sensors. One sensor is activated as soon as the leg leaves its
home position; the other is activated when the leg is
completely extended.
The machine can not move unless the stabilisers are in the
home position (photo A).

When the rollover protection device cuts in, the movements

of the stabilisers are disabled; this prevents the stabilisers
from unbalancing the machine and causing it to overturn when h
the boom is raised or extended (photo B).

3.5 MECHANICAL DEVICES

3.5.1 CONTROLLING THE HYDRAULIC

CYLINDERS

All of the machine’s hydraulic cylinders are fitted with

mechanical safety valves which prevent a possible
uncontrolled stroke of the piston in the event of failure of or
damage to the hydraulic circuit.

3.5.2 BOOM LOCK DEVICE

Various maintenance operations may require access to the

area beneath the boom; in this case the boom must be
secured against dropping, even accidentally, from its position.
For this purpose a special metal block is provided with the
machine to be manually fitted to the rod of the lifting cylinder
(see paragraph below).
The device is fixed by means of bolts to the rear of the machine
behind the driver’s cab.

!
After use it is obligatory to put the device back in its
correct position.

3.6 WARNING SIGNALS

3.6.1 ROTATING BEACON

The rotating beacon is a useful instrument for warning others

of your presence in the operating area.
The correct position for this light is on the roof of the cab
where its magnetic base ensures a firm adherence to the
surface.
To remove it simply exert a little pressure on the side to lift
off the base.
When not in use, place it inside the cab.
The rotating beacon is provided with an extensible cable with
a power supply connector for connection in the power socket
behind the driver’s cab (see paragraph [Link]).

!
It is obligatory to activate the device both when driving
on public roads and when operating on the work site

3.6.2 ACOUSTIC SAFETY WARNINGS

Reversing
When the machine is reversing, an acoustic signal is
automatically emitted to warn people in the nearby vicinity of
the potential danger represented by the machine itself.

4.1 GUIDELINES

!
Important information and regulations that you should
strictly comply with and implement in order to ensure
your safety and that of any other persons when
operating the machine are described below.
The main regulations and prohibitions are described
in Chapter 1 “General Information”.

4.1.1 INTENDED USE OF THE MACHINE

The FH series elevators are self-propelled, tyred vehicles with

single driver/operator seat, intended for use on flat or uneven
surfaces with suitable precautions taken.
The extendable boom on the vehicle makes operations such
as lifting, transporting and handling loads possible.
The vehicle has been designed and constructed to work
outdoors; several special accessories are available if it is to
be used in closed or underground environments where there
must be, in any case, no risk of any kind of explosion (contact
your sales network for details).

4.1.2 PROHIBITED USE

• Do not use the machine for purposes other than those

for which it was built.
• Do not exceed the technical limits of the machine as
indicated in the chapter entitled “Technical Data”.
• Do not use the machine in explosive environments

!
Use of the machine under any of these conditions
relieves the manufacturer of all responsibility for any
accidents to persons or things and immediately
invalidates the warranty which makes the user the sole
responsible person as far as the law is concerned.

4.1.5 RESPONSIBLE DRIVING

• Do not allow any person or animal to ride on the vehicle

with you either in the driver’s cab or on the outside, as
they could obstruct your view thereby reducing the safety
standard or provoke accidental use of controls.
• Do not listen to music through headphones while
operating the vehicle as this causes a considerable drop
in concentration and attention to your work.
• Do not wear loose clothing, chains or belts that could
catch on the control levers or other parts of the machine.
• Do not drive with greasy hands or footwear.
• Adjust the position of the seat and steering wheel to
ensure the maximum safety and ease of use of the
controls.
• Always fasten the seat belt and sit correctly on the seat;
do not lean out of the cab.
• Do not use the controls as handholds for getting into or
h
out of the cab.
• Never carry people unless the machine is equipped for
that purpose and supplied with the relevant compliance
certificate for lifting persons.

4.1.6 REFUELLING

Fuel is an inflammable product therefore the maximum care

and attention must be taken when handling it to avoid the h
risk of explosion or fire.
• Do not smoke while refuelling, and do not refuel around
live flames or sparks.
• Refuel with the machine engine turned off and, if possible,
in the open.

4.2 GUIDELINES FOR DRIVING ON PUBLIC ROADS

4.2.1 GENERAL

• To be able to drive on a public road the vehicle must

comply with the road rules and regulations of the country
in which it is being used; for relevant information, consult
your authorised dealer.
• When driving on public roads you must respect local
road rules.
• Do not carry loads on a public road.
• Do not use the machine while under the influence of
alcohol and/or drugs.
• Do not operate with the machine door open.

4.2.2 BEFORE MOVING OFF

• Check that the flashing light is installed and in good

working order.
• Check that the lighting system and the visual and acoustic
warning system are clean and in good working order.
• Check the wear condition of the windscreen wiper blade
and that the device is in good working order.
• Check that the wheels are correctly aligned.
• Check that the rearview mirrors are functional.
• Ensure that there is sufficient fuel in the tank.
• Retract and lower the boom completely.
• Check that the axles are parallel to the frame (for
machines equipped with this function).
• Fully raise the stabilisers.

4.2.3 MOVING FORWARD

• In conditions of poor visibility caused by fog, rain, dust,

etc. reduce the speed and use the appropriate
illumination.
• If you need to pass through tight openings such as
archways or gateways, check that at least the minimum
manoeuvring space is available.
• When moving at a fast speed, always remain correctly
seated because the accidental tripping of the presence
sensor integrated in the seat causes the vehicle to slow
down abruptly and unexpectedly.

Chapter 4 - Using the machine

83

Operating and Service Manual TELESCOPIC ELEVATOR 40-17 • 30-17
42-14 • 35-14

4.2.4 REVERSING

• Before reversing ensure that there are no persons or

obstacles in the machine’s radius of action.
• If you do not have a clear view, ask a person on the
ground for assistance and keep this person in view at all
times.
• Keep the windows and rearview mirrors clean and in
good condition at all times.
• Avoid reversing for long distances at fast speeds; the
poor manoeuvrability connected to the typical driving
position required for reversing reduces the safety margins
as well as being tiring for the driver.

4.2.5 PARKING

• Always check the compactness and strength of the

ground on which you position the stabilisers and the
wheels.
• Press the parking brake pushbutton (see paragraph
h
[Link]).
If possible park on flat ground but if the surface does
not appear to be secure or it has a slight slope, lower
the stabilisers and, if necessary, place wedges in front
of the wheels.
If the slope exceeds 15% it is obligatory to immobilise
the wheels with wedges; in fact, in these conditions the
parking brake may not guarantee sufficient braking
torque.
• Lock the hydraulic controls with the special devices (if
installed).
• Retract and lower the telescopic boom to place the
accessory in use on the ground.
• Set the gear control lever in the neutral position “N”.
• Turn off the engine and remove the ignition key.
• Close the windows and the lock door.
• If you are leaving the machine unattended for a long
period of time remove the key from the ignition.
• If you have to leave the driver’s seat momentarily, shift
the gear lever to the neutral position “N” and pull the
handbrake push button whether the engine is running
or not.
• Do not park in places where you could be hampering
road traffic or creating general hazards.

4.3 REGULATIONS FOR MOVING AND USING

ACCESSORIES

4.3.1 INSTALLATION

• The accessories attached to the boom must be fitted with

regulation locking devices.
• The accessory must not reduce the functionality of the front
headlights.
• After installation, always check again to ensure correct hookup.

4.3.2 USE

• When carrying a load keep the accessory at a maximum

height of 300 mm from the ground.
• As far as possible avoid driving on winding roads; if they
cannot be avoided, proceed with the utmost caution.
• Proceed at a slow speed with the gear lever in the “I”
position.
• Respect the limits in the load chart for the accessory in
use.
• If the material to be moved is on a supporting base,
before lifting the base and material, check that the former
is in good condition and suitable for the weight to be
borne.
• Never lift a load using only one fork.
• Never lift a load secured with a sling with the forks as,
under the weight of the load, the edges of the forks
could cut the lifting ropes; use the appropriate accessory.
• When carrying a load hanging from a rope, try to prevent
it from oscillating excessively; if this occurs, stop
immediately and do not restart until the load has stopped
oscillating.
• When carrying a load with a changing barycentre, such
as a liquid, take care not to accelerate or brake suddenly;
greater care needs to be taken when the road slopes
upwards.
• After use place the accessory in a horizontal position
and if this proves to be unstable, prop it up with suitable,
safe supports.

4.4 WORKING ON A CONSTRUCTION SITE

Only operate the machine when you are in good

physical and mental condition
• Do not use the machine while under the influence of
alcohol and/or drugs.

Use personal protective equipment which is

suitable for the circumstances
• Wear ear muffs or plugs to protect your hearing from
excessive noise.
• If there is a risk of objects falling from above wearing a
helmet is mandatory (the driver’s cab has been designed
to resist falling objects).

Inspect the work area before starting operation

• If the work place is near an excavation or is on a steep
slope, there is a strong risk of the machine overturning.
• Before using the machine examine the configuration and
the condition of the work area.
• Keep the vehicle as far away as possible from the edge
of the excavation or of a road.
• Icy surfaces which may appear to provide a solid bearing h
base, may cede as the temperature increases and affect
the stability of the machine.

Move the machine in total safety

• Always work in suitably illuminated environments; the
standard lighting system of the machine is not suitable
for lighting up the work area (see optional lighting system
in Chapter 2).
• Work at a safe distance, which must not be less than 5
metres, from electric power lines, as these are an
h
electric shock hazard.
h
• Do not allow any person to walk through the operative
area or under the load. h
• Never lift the load above people.
• Do not operate with the machine door open.
• Always keep the luminous signals operating both during
the work phases and the transfers; these signal personnel
standing in the nearby vicinity of the presence of a
potential danger.
• When your visual control is reduced either by poor
environmental conditions or by an obstacle, have
someone help with the signalling.
• If the load you are carrying reduces your field of vision,
only reverse for short distances at a time.
• Always keep the windows clean, the lighting system in
good working order and the rearview mirrors correctly
positioned.
• If there are other machines on the construction site,
arrange for one person to co-ordinate the movements
using unambiguous signs and orders.
• Before lifting the load check that no persons or things
can in any way obstruct normal operations.
• Raise and lower the telescopic boom with slow,
continuous movements.
• Do not perform operations which are beyond the capacity
of the machine or the accessory.
• Do not, in any way, incr ease the value of the
counterweight.
• Check the control instruments at regular intervals while
using the machine in order to detect any problems
immediately.
• If an instrument or warning light signals a problem, turn
off the engine immediately and correct the problem (see
chapter on “Maintenance”).
• You should not move forward with the boom in the raised
position, but if this is necessary move slowly with caution
and brake gently. If visibility is poor, have someone on
the ground give directions.

Chapter 4 - Using the machine

87
 Mod.
Operating and Service Manual TELESCOPIC ELEVATOR 40-17 • 30-17
42-14 • 35-14

• Never move forward with the boom extended beyond

the letter “C”.
• Try to keep the load as stable as possible; when turning
a curve take extra care as the load could alter its centre
of gravity.
• If the load is by its very nature unstable, secure it with
slings.
• In the event of a strong wind avoid extreme uses of the
telescopic boom.
• In the event of winds exceeding 12,5 m/sec (41 ft/sec) -
45 km/h (28 mph), which corresponds to number 6 on h
the BEAUFORT wind scale, stop the operations with the
boom in a raised position.

!
Code number 6 on the BEAUFORT wind scale identifies
a wind that can move the thicker branches on trees,
the wind howls along telephone wires and it is
inadvisable to use umbrellas.

• After a period of intense use of the machine, do not turn

off the engine immediately. Allow the engine to idle for
a minute in order to lower the temperature of the engine
and of the hydrostatic transmission.
This rule must be respected above all if the engine is
frequently turned off and back on again; in these
conditions in fact the cooling system can not work
properly due to its brief operating time.

Manoeuvring on uneven ground

• When you move on uneven ground, contact of the wheels
with the ground surface is conditioned by the depth of
the holes or obstacles along the way.
• All the wheels are guaranteed to make contact if the
difference in level (A) is equal to +/- 15 cm (5,9 “);
beyond this value the low wheel does not make contact
with the ground.

88 Chapter 4 - Using the machine

 Mod.

42-14 • 35-14

Manoeuvring on ground with transverse slope

• Do not use the machine on ground which slopes
horizontally unless it is equipped with a level
compensator and/or stabilisers; these devices can
correct the horizontal slope (only up to +/-10°) to bring
the machine to a level horizontal work surface.

Manoeuvring on ground with longitudinal slope

• Move forward and brake gently.
• When moving without a load, move with the accessory
facing downhill.
• When moving a load, move with the accessory facing
uphill.
• Before depositing the load check that the bearing base
has the capacity to support the weight in a stable and
safe way.

In the event of a rollover

• If the vehicle you are working on is about to overturn,
stay inside the cab as this is your best protection. If you
have your seat belt fastened, as should be the case, you
have the maximum possible protection.
• After rolling over, when the vehicle has stopped and is
stable, exit from the access door if possible otherwise
open the rear window as described in the chapter “Know
Your Machine” and exit the cab.

4.5 DRIVING PREPARATIONS

Inspect the machine

• Before getting into the driver’s cab to start your work
shift, inspect the machine following the procedure
described in the chapter on “Maintenance”.

Use the handholds and steps for getting into

the cab

!
The wrong use of these devices, or in fact not using
them, due to haste is often a cause of accidents at the
work place. 1
2
• Get into the cab with your back facing outwards and use
the three holds: the handle on the door jamb (1), the
door handle (2), the step (3).

• Do not get in or out of the machine while it is 3

moving.
• Keep the footboards, steps and handles clean and
dry to avoid slipping. A B
• Take particular care when you have wet or slippery
hands and/or shoes; before starting to operate make
sure that you have a secure grip or hold.
• Get out of the machine in the same way as you
entered it..

Adjust the seat and steering wheel

!
• Adjust the position of the seat according to your
height and weight; the best position is when you can
press the pedals to the floor and operate the lever
controls correctly with your back resting comfortably
against the back of the seat.
• A badly-adjusted seat can cause the operator,
unknowingly, to tire quickly and lose his concentration
on the operations he is performing.

• Slide the seat forward and back until you find the best
position for using the controls.
• Adjust the backrest.
• Adjust the steering wheel to a position that allows you
to use it comfortably and as well as easily access the h
controls.

Fasten the seat belts

!
The driver’s cab has been designed to support the
weight of the machine in case of rollover (ROPS); it is
important to keep the seat belts fastened at all times
to prevent you from being thrown out of the cab and
squashed in the event of a rollover.

• Before starting, examine the seat belts for any signs of

damage and check the buckles. If there are any signs at
all of wear or damage, replace the belts before starting
work.
• Remain seated with the seat belt fastened at all times
when using the machine.
• After a serious accident, replace the belts even if they
do not appear to be damaged.

4.6 START UP

The procedure required for starting the machine and some

special rules connected to this procedure are described below.
For information on how to use all the other controls read the
description in the chapter entitled “Know Your Machine”.

4.6.1 STARTING THE ENGINE N

Before starting the engine carry out the following manoeuvres:

• Sit in the driver’s seat.
• Check to ensure the parking brake switch is not activated.
• Shift the gear selector to the central neutral position
(N).
h
• Turn the ignition key clockwise to position “I”; with the
key in this position check to ensure that all the neutral

h
gear indicators (3) and operator presence sensor
indicator (5) light up, and that the parking brake indicator
(4) is Off (if the indicator light is On, deactivate the parking
brake using the switch provided for the purpose, see
paragraph [Link]); with the key in position “I” the
following must light up:
• battery charge indicator light (1)
• engine oil pressure indicator light (2)
• buzzer.
If indicators (1) and (2) do not light up, do not start up the
machine, and consult the “Maintenance” chapter. In machines
equipped with the engine air preheater option, if the tempe-
rature is too low, the spark plugs indicator (6) also lights up;
before starting up the machine wait for this indicator light to
switch off.
• Turn the key through another turn until it reaches position
h

“II” to allow preheating and, if the temperature is too

low, wait for 15 seconds.
1 2
• Turn the key completely until the engine starts up, then
3
release it: the key returns automatically to position “I”.

•
!
Do not activate the starter for more than 5 seconds.
• Wait 10 seconds between one attempt and the next
in order not to over-stress the battery.
• Do not attempt to start the machine by pushing or
pulling it, as this can cause serious damage to the
hydrostatic transmission. 6
5
• Check the control instruments at regular intervals
4
while using the machine in order to detect any II
problems immediately.
• If an instrument or warning light signals a problem,
turn off the engine immediately and correct the problem
(see chapter on “Maintenance”).

4.6.2 MOVING FORWARD B

A C
Select the type of steering h
To select the type of steering required, position the selector
as follows:
Pos. A = front and rear wheels steering (circle steering)
Pos. B = only front wheels steering
Pos. C = wheels transverse (“crab” steering)

Aligning the rear wheels

With the machine stopped proceed as follows:
• Shift the selector to position A
• Straighten the rear wheels.
• Shift the selector to position B
• Straighten the front wheels
Alignment of the front and rear wheels is indicated by the
relative light on the RH dashboard. h

Selecting the forward speed

Turn the handle of the lever in a clockwise or counter-clockwise II I
direction to select the first (I) or second (II) speed.
The machine can only be started when the lever is in the
central neutral position (N).
The lever controls do not operate when:
• the hand brake is on
• the operator is not sitting in the driver’s seat
F

Moving forward
Pull the lever towards the steering wheel and then upwards
to enable the forward movement of the vehicle (F). N

Reversing
Pull the lever towards the steering wheel and then down to
enable the reverse movement of the vehicle (R).

It is dangerous to change direction while the vehicle is

moving with the engine running at high speed; in fact,
the vehicle makes an abrupt change of direction; before
making a change in direction wait for the machine and N
engine to slow down to the minimum.

!
When the reverse gear is selected an acoustic warning

4.7.1 HYDRAULIC COUPLING DEVICE

When this optional device is fitted to the machine, the

accessory holder is locked in position by a pin which is inserted h
by a hydraulic cylinder controlled by the joystick.
The cylinder is powered by connecting the power supply tube
to one of the quick connectors installed on the end of the
telescopic boom (see following paragraph). 1
Once the accessory has been attached, the feed tube can
remain connected to the quick connector provided the
accessory does not require the use of the connection.

To couple
• Connect the power supply tube to connection A1.
• Attach and lift the accessories as described in the h
preceding paragraph.

• Tilt the support backwards until the accessory supports

itself on its own weight. h 1
• Use the joystick to command the pin to lift up so that the
accessory’s perforated plate can enter in its place.
• Release the control; the pin automatically slides into its
seat and thereby prevents the accessory from uncoupling.

To uncouple
• Lift the accessory. h
• Use the joystick to command the pin to lift; the accessory
will uncouple itself from the support due to the effect of
gravity.
• Straighten the support, deposit the accessory on the
ground, then slide it out.

4.9 HOW TO MOVE A LOAD

Load weight and centre of gravity

!
• Do not lift and carry a load that exceeds the rated
capacity of the vehicle or the accessory.
• Before lifting the load check its weight and centre
of gravity.
• The load chart for your machine refers to lifting a
load with the forks, with the centre of gravity at 500
mm (1,64 ft) from the L-angle of the fork; if the load
to be lifted has a barycentre which is out of all
proportion, contact the manufacturer through the sales
network for information.
• If by its very nature the load has a changing
500 mm
barycentre, such as a liquid for example, extra care
must be taken with the movements as obviously a de-
finite rule cannot be established
• Act according to your experience or ask for advice;
if you do not feel safe, do not carry the product.

Transporting a load
• Check that you have selected the steering type required.
• Retract the boom completely.
• Lift the boom and rotate the accessory holder backwards
in order to lift the load to 300 mm (1 ft ) from the ground. 10%
• Shift the load with the machine in low gear.

How to lift a load without a pallet

i
To carry out this operation successfully, you will
probably have to place wedges under the load.

Raise the boom slightly and tilt the forks forward just as
slightly.
Move forward slowly in order to insert the forks under the
load beyond its barycentre.
Tilt the forks back to move or roll the load to the base of the
forks.

Manoeuvring a machine with horizontal

levelling
While watching the level indicator, act on the hydraulic control
to level the machine.
Remember that other factors can affect the horizontal position
of the machine such as :
• tyre pressure;
• ground stability;
• load stability and barycentre;
• wind-force.
Before levelling the machine, take the above factors into
consideration

How to check that the rollover protection

device is working correctly
• Apply the forks to the accessory holder
• Select a load that you know the exact weight of.
• Position the machine along the axis of the load, level it A B
and align the wheels.
• Lift the load taking care that its centre of gravity is at a
X
distance of D=500 mm (1,64 ft). Kg
• Lift the load to a height of 500 mm (1,64 ft)from the
ground.
• Extend the boom until the rollover protection device is D
500

activated.
• Read the last uncovered letter “X” on the side of the
telescopic boom.
• Check that the letter corresponds to the limit indicated
in the load chart displayed in the cab.

4.10 TOWING THE MACHINE

The hydrostatic transmission of the machine is always

connected as is the traction on all four wheels.
Furthermore, when the diesel motor is switched off, the
brakes lock.
For these particular reasons the machine must not be towed
when the motor is turned off except by the amount required
to remove it from a danger zone or if it is blocking the way, at
the risk of damaging the transmission organs.
The only option is to release the brakes by means of the
pressure accumulator following the procedure described in
Chap. [Link].

For towing the machine, proceed as follows:

Slacken the fixing bolts of the front and rear axles through ¼
of a turn to block the machine completely.

4.11 RESIDUAL RISKS

4.11.1 WHEN PARKING THE MACHINE

If you have to park the machine on a surface with a slope

that exceeds 15%, it is mandatory to place wedges under
the wheels; in fact, in these conditions the parking brake
may not guarantee a sufficient braking torque.

5.1.2 AVOID BURNS

Jets of hot fluid

After the motor stops its body remains very hot for a period
of time that depends on the ambient temperature.
To avoid the outflow of hot steam and fluid, do not remove
the cap from the radiator until the motor has cooled down;
to open it, turn the cap until it hits the stop then lift it off.

Fluids and hot surfaces

The oil in the motor, the reducers and the hydraulic system
are heat up when the machine is in use.
Before touching the motor or any components of the hydraulic
circuit wait for the temperature to drop to the ambient tem-
perature.

5.1.3 BEWARE OF FLUIDS UNDER PRESSURE

If spurts of fuel or hydraulic oil penetrate your skin or eyes,

the consequences can be extremely serious.
• Release the pressure in the circuits before disconnecting
the tubing.
• Before starting the motor ensure that all the unions are
securely locked.
• When searching for leaks use a piece of cardboard as a
shield. Protect your eyes by wearing a face shield or
glasses.
• If an open sore is contaminated by oil or fuel, seek
medical assistance immediately. Prevent infection by
ensuring that all traces of the contaminant are eliminated.

5.1.4 BEWARE OF EXHAUST FUMES

Motor exhaust fumes are toxic and can be a health hazard.

battery can explode under certain conditions and cause
spurting of corrosive liquid.
• Wear a face shield or glasses.
• Keep the battery away from naked flames or sparks.
• Only charge the battery when its temperature does not
drop below 15-16°C otherwise it could be an explosion
hazard.
• Only check the battery charge with a voltmeter or a
densimeter.

Start up using external battery

• If you need to start the motor using an external battery,
carefully follow the procedure described in the chapter
on “Maintenance”; an incorrect procedure could damage
the electronic control units, cause the batteries to explode
and result in the machine making sudden, unexpected
movements.
• Two persons are required to carry out this operation in
complete safety, one of which must remain in the driver’s
seat.
• Do not use batteries which have been stored in very
cold environments.

The gas from the batteries may explode and cause

serious damage, (see chapter on Maintenance for more
information)

battery.

Always disconnect the battery’s earth wire when

recharging the battery and when carrying out arc
welding operations on the machine; in the latter case
it is also obligatory to disconnect the control unit (see
explanation below).
If the battery is replaced with a model which requires
maintenance it is useful to keep in mind that the
sulphuric acid contained inside it is a poison and a
burn hazard.
When handling a battery ensure you always take these
few simple, but important precautions:
• work in an aerated environment;
• protect your face and skin with suitable protective
devices;
• do not light fires or cigarettes in the nearby vicinity;
• keep children away;
• only begin charging the battery if you are sure of
the correct procedure.
See paragraph 5.1.5 for further information.

Disconnecting the power

Before beginning work on any part of the electrical system,
disconnect the power supply to the battery by means of the
supplied wrench (see chapter “Know your machine”).
To disconnect the circuit, turn off the motor and turn the
wrench in a counterclockwise direction to the point of
resistance.

!
Never disconnect the battery with the motor running.

5.2.8 SUNDRY OPERATION

Checking the chains

The boom chains must not be too loose; follow this simple
procedure to check the chains:
• Extend the boom completely.
• At the centre line of the chain measure the distance
from this point to the base of the boom.
• With one hand push upwards and measure the distance
once again; the difference between the two
measurements is the sagitta.
• If the value of the sagitta is less than 5 cm the chain
must be tightened.
• Repeat the operation for each chain and for all the
sections of the telescopic boom.

Tightening the chains

When the chains are too loose, tighten them with a torque
wrench.
A regular check is recommended.

i
There are two chains, one thicker than the other.
Tighten the thick chain to 70 Nm.
Tighten the thinner chain to 50 Nm.
