OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
INTRODUCTION
This section provides the operator a practical guide
for the gradual learning of the machine use.
The operator should get into the driving cab and carry
out the preliminary adjustments, then memorise the
position of the different controls and instruments.
The familiarisation with the controls ensures not only a
correct use during the working phases, but also a
prompt and timely intervention of the operator, when
he shall carry out sudden manoeuvres to safeguard
his safety and the machine integrity.
It is necessary to learn how to use and foresee the
machine reactions. Learn how to operate the machine
controls in a safe and open place, without obstacles
and anybody standing around. Do not ram the controls.
Operate them slowly to understand their effect on the
machine.
