FIRE PREVENTION

- CAUTION -
Stop the machine immediately if an alarm lights up in
the cab. Contact your DIECI service centre and do not
operate the machine until the fault has been repaired.

- Before every work cycle, ensure there are no leaks from

the machine; fuel, oil, grease or lubricants in general can
start fires and cause serious injury.

of gravity when refuelling the machine. A tank to collect
any spillage must be located below. It should also be
equipped with a manhole to allow access for cleaning.

7. If the barrels are kept in the open, the cap must be tightly
closed to prevent water seepage.

CHECKING THE WIND SPEED

- Variations in wind speed can cause several inconvenien-

ces such as loss of machine stability, load oscillation, and
a reduction in visibility due to blowing dust, leaves, etc.

- Other unfavourable factors affecting machine use include:

Site location; the aerodynamic effect of buildings, trees
and other structures increase the wind speed.
The height of the extended boom; the higher the boom,
the higher the wind speed.
Load dimensions; the larger the area occupied by the
load, the more it is affected by the force of the wind.

- CAUTION -
DIECI telehandlers can be used in wind speeds up to
45 Km/h equal to 12.5 m/s (no. 6 of the Beaufort scale)
measured at ground level.

- CAUTION -
At a temperature of 10°C, in winds with a speed of 32
Km/h, the sensation of exposed body parts is a tempe-
rature of 0°C; the higher you are the higher the wind
speed and the colder you will feel.

- CAUTION -
If there is a fresh breeze (fig. 1/B n. 5 in the Beaufort Scale), never
raise loads with a surface area greater than one square metre.

Below is a graph of the Beaufort scale (fig.1/B) to give an in-

dication of the wind speed at which you can work and when

acts as a safety cage for the operator.

- CAUTION -
THE CAB IS A SAFETY DEVICE, THUS IT MUST ALWAYS
BE KEPT IN CORRECT CONDITIONS OF USE.
1
- PROHIBITION -
IT IS ABSOLUTELY FORBIDDEN to modify, perforate or
change the structure of the cab in any way. The manufactu-
rer shall not be held liable if the cab is tampered with.

IT IS FORBIDDEN to weld or mechanically attach any

parts to the cab chassis.
If the fixing bolts are replaced, only use bolts with exact-
ly the same strength index.
(fig.19/B)
Never connect chains, cables or rope to the cab when
towing the machine.
If the machine rolls over, do not attempt to get out of the
cab during the accident.

LOAD TABLES

- CAUTION -

CHECK THE LOAD TABLES OF YOUR MACHINE IN CHAPTER "H" - TECHNICAL INFORMATION SHEETS

The Safe Working Load -SWL of these machines depends on their extension range and boom angle.

This machine is equipped with anti roll-over devices.

For further information about the safe load indicator, see the relevant paragraph (chapter "C" - Getting to Know Your Machine
- "anti roll-over device").

The load table inside the cab illustrates the safe working loads in relation to the various boom positions.
The extension of the boom is marked with the letters: "A" "B" "C" "D".

The load table illustrates the maximum height and extension achievable without exceeding the safe load. The telehandler is also
equipped with its own load table. The load table is calculated using a telehandler with standard forks. There are also additional
Load Tables, which apply to the different boom accessories.

The load table indicated is only to be intended as an example.

Before lifting or positioning loads, consult the load tables in the handbook on the right of the instrument cluster or consult chap-
ter "H" (machine technical information sheets) in this manual.

- CAUTION -
The limits given in the load Tables refer to the machine at a halt.
Do not lift or extend the boom when the machine is in motion.
Retract the boom completely and lower it as far as possible before moving with a load.
Check which boom attachment is assembled on the machine and then consult the relevant load table.

Example “A” Example “B”

 USING THE LOAD TABLES AND BOOM INDICATORS

- CAUTION -
For your own safety and the integrity of the machine, comply with the information provided below.

The load tables regarding your machine are in the notebook in the cab.

- CAUTION -
The limits indicated in the load tables refer to the machine at a halt on wheels or stabilizers and on level ground.
Do not lift or extend the boom when the machine is in motion.
Retract the boom completely and lower it as far as possible before moving with a load.

Check which boom attachment is assembled on the machine and then consult the relevant load table in the cab.

Before raising or putting down a load, you must know how much it weighs.

Ensure the centre of gravity of the load does not exceed 500 mm measured from the heels of the forks.

- CAUTION -
The centre of gravity may not be at the centre of the load, therefore it is necessary to locate its position.

B/39

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine

 Model E.T. PEGASUS Safety standards

When you know the weight of the load, consult the load table (see the machine technical information sheets in chapter “H“ ) and
find the section indicating the weight immediately above.

Example:
in the example load table (fig.20/C), the weight of the load is 0.9 tons, thus find the 1.0 ton section (fig.20/C Pos.”A”).

The left edge and the upper edge of this section indicate the stability limits of the machine for the load in question.
Do not tilt or extend the boom beyond the limits given. (fig.20/C Pos.“B-C“).

After inserting the forks under the load and before lifting the load, check the values on the boom angle and extension indicators.

Example
(With stabiliser feet and rota-
ting turret)
(fig.20/B)

As illustrated in the table, the lines start from the graded boom angle and extension scales and go across the section of the table.
Find where the lines regarding the values you are interested in cross. If the cross point is within or on the right of the maximum load
section (known load weight), the load is within safety limits.

If the lines cross above or on the left of the section, do not attempt to lift the load. Retract the boom.
If when the boom is completely retracted, the boom angle and extension values cross outside the maximum load section, do not at-
tempt to lift the load.

When the load is on the forks, retract the boom before lifting or lowering. This will reduce the risk of destabilising the machine.

Note that when the load is raised (for example on scaffolding) it should be released (raised) before retracting the boom completely.

Before putting down a load, consult the load table to determine the maximum distance of the machine from the unloading point.
It must be possible to set down the load without intersecting the limits indicated on the left of or above the maximum load section.
