SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
3.1.8 GETTING ON AND OFF THE VEHICLE

- To get on the vehicle, use the steps and the handholds in proximity of the driver’s seat; it is prohibited to use
the control levers and devices as handholds.
- If the vehicle starts moving when you are not on it, do not jump on to try and stop it.
- It is prohibited to get on and off the vehicle when it is moving.
- Get off the vehicle only when it has come to a complete halt and is stable.
- Do not get on and off the vehicle by jumping or holding tools in your hands.
- Always face the vehicle when getting on and off the driver’s seat or other raised parts and support yourself
by keeping both hands and one foot or both feet and one hand on the steps and the handrail.
- Do not climb onto the engine compartment lid or other parts of the vehicle.
3.1.9 DRIVER’S SEAT

- Before getting into the operator’s cabin, always remove mud and oil from the soles of your shoes. If you push
a pedal with mud or oil on the soles of your shoes, your foot might slip causing accidents.
- Keep the area around the driver’s seat clean.
- Do not place any object at the foot of the driver’s seat or around the pedals and do not hang anything on
the control levers. The levers might accidentally be activated causing uncontrolled vehicle movement or
activation of the working equipment and hence dangerous conditions.
- Place all objects not needed for driving in the storage compartments provided.
- Do not carry objects in your pockets that may fall into the open compartments of the vehicle.
- Always keep the driver’s seat clear of foreign objects, especially if not secured.
- Do not leave components or tools scattered around the cabin.
- Do not use mobile phones in the cabin while driving or operating the vehicle.
- Never take dangerous objects into the cabin, for example, flammable or explosive objects.
3.1.10 DRIVER’S CAB / OPERATOR’S PROTECTIVE STRUCTURE

- DO NOT modify, repair or remove the operator protective structure. Should it be structurally damaged or
modified (e.g. by welding or drilling) the protection provided by the cabin/roof would be compromised,
creating a risk which may cause death or serious injury.
- After an accident, carefully inspect the protective structure, the driver’s seat, the seatbelt and all the pillars.
- Replace all the parts that show any sign of damage. Original spare parts must be used as indicated in the
Spare Parts Catalogue and can be ordered from FIORI.
3.1.11 ROPS (ROLL OVER PROTECTIVE STRUCTURE)

- The ROPS structure serves to protect the operator and cushion the impact in the event that the vehicle
overturns.
- The ROPS structure is an integral part of the cabin. Do not operate the vehicle without this protection
system.
- The ROPS structure is in compliance with the safety regulations for the vehicle type. If it is damaged, repaired
or modified without authorisation, its deformability may change. In this case, it will no longer be able to
correctly perform its protective function and must be replaced.
- If the structure has been involved in an accident, do not use the vehicle until the structure has been replaced
or inspected by qualified personnel.
- The ROPS structure guarantees protection if the seatbelt is properly fastened. For this reason, always keep
the seatbelt fastened while the vehicle is moving.

drive over obstacles that will cause the vehicle to lean too far to one side.
- Pay attention to ground unevenness, poor visibility, and other vehicles in the vicinity.
- If the engine slows down and stops under load or runs at idle speed, inform the maintenance manager and
do not use the vehicle until it has been checked.
- When driving on public roads, observe the road regulations and before setting off consult with the competent
authorities and follow their instructions. This vehicle travels at a speed lower than that of normal motor
vehicles, therefore, keep to the edge of the road leaving the centre free for other vehicles to pass.
- If working in the dark, carefully check the working area, turn on all the lights available and do not work in
areas where visibility is poor.
- Do not make quick movements (e.g. continuously steering right and left) which may cause the vehicle to
overturn.
- Overtake only when absolutely necessary.
- When crossing bridges or similar structures, first check that the structure is strong enough to support the
weight of the vehicle and its load.
3.1.17 PRECAUTIONS WHILE DRIVING IN REVERSE

- Reversing at high speed can cause accidents; do not reverse at top speed and always drive at a safe speed
suited to the working conditions.
- If required, check that the camera display is on, in order to ensure maximum visibility of the area behind the
machine.
- When reversing always look in the direction the vehicle is moving. Watch out for people in the area and
immediately stop if anyone comes into the range of action of the vehicle and into the working area.
- If you cannot clearly see the entire working area, ask someone to guide you with hand signals. This person
must stand outside the working area and you must be able to see him or her clearly.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
3.1.18 DANGEROUS WORKING CONDITIONS

Before starting any operation, check that there are no dangerous working conditions in the surrounding area.
- Areas where there are slopes, humps, trees, demolished constructions, escarpments, gorges, tilled soil,
ditches, excavations, heavy traffic, crowded parking and service areas and closed places are classified as
risk areas.
- Check that there are no obstacles such as piping, cables, bottlenecks or loading limitations on the grounds,
bridges, pavements or access ramps.
- Establish the due safety measures to prevent danger on public roads in collaboration with the owners, users
and competent authorities.
- In places where there are underground water or gas pipes or high-voltage cable ducts, contact the public
utilities to find out their exact position. Ensure that these structures are not damaged.
- Take particular precautions when working near ditches, escarpments or close to open excavations.
- To carry out operations in water or when crossing sand banks, check the conditions of the bed and the depth
and speed of water flow.
- Always move slowly on very uneven ground and ridges, in the vicinity of slopes or gorges, and on icy or
slippery ground. Remember that the ground is wet and soft after heavy rains.
If the ground starts to cave in, the vehicle could tip over, sink in or overturn, causing serious injuries.
- If you work with the vehicle in tight spaces or have to pass through narrow doors or structures, manoeuvre
very carefully.
- Avoid crossing or going over obstacles such as rocks, felled trunks, steps, ditches and tracks.
- Always ensure good visibility. Check that there are no people or obstacles in the area around the vehicle.
- Check the conditions of the working area to ensure that you can operate and move safely.
3.1.19 WORKING AREA

The WORKING AREA is defined as the area in proximity of the vehicle where only persons that know its
operating capabilities may work.
The driver may operate only and exclusively when there is no one within the range of action. The driver must
warn anyone in the vicinity of the vehicle of the danger they are in by voice or sounding the horn.
If there is scaffolding or unstable structures near where you are working, keep at a safe distance so that you
do not risk touching these structures should you accidentally make an incorrect manoeuvre.
3.1.20 VISIBILITY OF THE WORKING AREA

- Always check that there is no one in the vicinity of the vehicle before starting work.
- Before getting on the vehicle, walk around it once and check that everything is in order.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
3.1.23 WORKING ON SLOPES

- Moving or working on steep slopes, hills, river or lake embankments can be dangerous. Always drive up and
down slopes at low speed and pay attention. Obstacles or changes in the gradient may cause you to lose
control of the vehicle and consequently it might overturn.
- Before starting work, check the working area for any signs of holes, landslips, gravel or tilled soil that could
affect the working conditions and the stability of the vehicle.
- Always move in a straight line when going up or down a slope.
- Do not turn around on slopes or move across them.
- Never move sharply sideways, or even worse, with the vehicle axis turned 90º with respect to the direction
of the slope.
WARNING: Do not work on slopes with a gradient over the limit as this may cause the vehicle to
overturn.
- Do not drive downhill with the gear in neutral or excessively using the brakes. Select and engage the most
suitable gear that will allow maintaining the speed necessary to prevent losing control of the vehicle.
- If you need to drive down very steep slopes do not overrun the engine; select the most suitable gear before
setting off downhill.
- NEVER park or leave the vehicle unattended on a slope.
- Drive slowly over grass, fallen leaves or wet steel sheet.
- If the fuel reserve warning light comes on while you are working on a slope, immediately refuel; given that the
vehicle is inclined, the engine may take in air and stall unexpectedly, posing a grave danger to yourself and
to anyone standing downstream of the vehicle.
- The limit gradient must be assessed based on the type of ground, the load, the vehicle conditions and speed
and visibility.
- Driving on public roads: for gradients of more than 5% use the lowest gear.
3.1.24 DRIVING ON ICY OR SNOW-COVERED SURFACES
- If you need to work on icy or snow-covered surfaces, reduce the speed and avoid making sudden movements,
as the vehicle is much more sensitive and can easily slip sideways.
- When a lot of snow has fallen, pay the utmost attention as it is difficult to see the edges of the road.
3.1.25 ELECTRICAL LINES

- Working in proximity of electrical lines can be extremely dangerous and it is therefore essential that you take
the necessary precautions to eliminate the potential risks.
- Any job where parts of the vehicle are raised to a height that may reach the minimum safety distance laid
down in the national safety regulations is considered working in proximity of electrical lines.
- Do not work at a distance of less than 5 metres from overhead electrical lines, unless having notified the
electricity board and having provided for adequate protection to prevent accidental contact or coming
dangerously close to the line conductors.
- In order to work without any risk, keep as far away as possible from the electrical line and never violate the
minimum safety distance. Even only passing near high-voltage cables may cause electric shock and hence
burns or even death.
- Be prepared for any possible emergency situation and wear rubber shoes and gloves. Place a rubber mat on
the driver’s seat and be careful not to touch any part of the chassis with uncovered parts of your body. Ask
someone to warn you if the vehicle comes too close to electrical cables.
- During operations near high-voltage cables, do not allow anyone to approach the vehicle.
- Should you make contact with an electrical line, absolutely do not leave the vehicle touching the live metal
structures but wait until you have received confirmation that the power has been cut. In addition, do not allow
anyone to approach the vehicle.

- Pay attention to possible slippery steps and slippery ground around the vehicle.
- Always clean your shoes before getting on to prevent slipping or stumbling.
3.2.2 MOVING PARTS

- DO NOT come close to the moving parts of the vehicle with your limbs or other parts of your body. This may
cause serious injury or death by crushing or amputation.
- Keep objects away from the moving fan blades. The fan blades may project or cut objects.
- Turn off the engine and wait until all the moving parts have stopped before carrying out maintenance or any
other operation on the vehicle.
3.2.3 SHEARING OR TRAPPING

- It is advisable to keep at a safe distance from moving parts.
- Do not hang your legs or arms out of the vehicle as you might get seriously injured if you knock them against
obstacles.
- In some parts of the vehicle there are devices that may cause serious injury to your limbs. It is strictly
prohibited to insert any parts of your body in these devices when the engine is running.
- Wear suitable clothing that cannot get caught up in the moving parts of the vehicle.
- Never climb into or insert your hands, arms or other parts of your body in the moving parts between the working
equipment and the vehicle or between the cylinder and the working equipment. If someone inadvertently
activates the control levers, the play of the working equipment is altered with the risk of serious injury to the
body, hands or arms should they become entangled.
- Always keep your hands and fingers away from gaps and/or kinematic mechanisms.
- Do not use your fingers or hands to line up holes, but use appropriate tools.
- Remove any burrs or sharp edges from replaced and/or repaired parts.
- Should you need to access a moving part, always lock the working equipment and check that it is well
secured.
3.2.4 CRUSHING
The machine is a vehicle to all intents and purposes, therefore, be extremely careful when handling it and
watch out for persons, animals or objects around the working area.
- Check the efficiency of the controls and in particular the braking devices. Make sure that you can clearly
see the entire working area from the driver’s seat, also with the aid of the mirrors, video devices, lighting
equipment for night-time work, and keep them efficient and in working order.
- Before carrying out any operation with the vehicle, always check that you have sufficient room to work safely.
Ask someone on the ground to help you when carrying out operations in tight spaces or with poor visibility.
- Adjust the speed to the limits established for the various areas on the site, never exceed 15 km/h and drive
at walking speed in the vicinity of workstations.
- During manoeuvres, do not allow anyone to access the working area by posting appropriate signs and
cordoning off the area. The operator (or the person in charge) must ensure that this rule is observed, even
suspending work if necessary.
- If the driver needs to be contacted while he is working, approach the cabin from a point visible to the driver
and only after he has given his consent.
- The conditions of the ground must be such as to allow quickly stopping the vehicle.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
3.2.5 OVERTURNING
- The operator must be fully knowledgeable with the performance, weight and the maximum load the vehicle
can transport in relation to the ground conditions (flat, compact, uneven, sloping).
- Before starting to work, always check that the area on which the vehicle wheels stand is sufficiently solid
and capable of supporting its weight and, consequently, keep at a safe distance from the edge of the
excavation.
- Check that the site paths are adequate and that the working areas are clear and suitable for transit of the
vehicle and its stability.
- Analyse and record the topography and geological characteristics of the site in order to take the appropriate
preventive measures against the vehicle overturning, landslides or landslips.
- Consider the characteristics of the ground complementary to those of the vehicle; variables controlled by the
operator such as speed, angle of attack on slopes, gradient of the ground, load distribution etc., are essential
to minimise the risk of overturning.
- Follow the rules given in the chapter on driving on slopes.
CAUTION: Observing the recommended gradient limits does not mean that you can manoeuvre the
vehicle in total freedom in all load, ground or manoeuvring conditions on a slope. In any
event, it is advisable to halve the gradient values on wet or uneven ground.
- Avoid reaching the limit conditions and generally act with great caution and carefully: adapting to the ground
and visibility conditions by adjusting the speed and changing paths and avoid sudden braking, acceleration
and changes in direction.
- The vehicle may be used on sloping ground only within the limits indicated by the manufacturer. Where the
ground is particularly steep and inaccessible, it is advisable to have only experienced operators use the
vehicle.
- The vehicle may also overturn because of uneven ground, the ground caving in (especially when working near
the edge of the road or the manoeuvring surface), slipping on wet or muddy surfaces or making incorrect
or careless manoeuvres (sudden acceleration or steering, unbalanced load, excessive speed, etc.).
- Do not steer sharply at high speed.
- The vehicle centre of gravity may shift in relation to the size and position of the load, the gradient of the
ground and the movement of the vehicle.
- The vehicle is equipped with a ROPS safety cabin. Nevertheless, in the event of the vehicle overturning, if you
do not have the seatbelt fastened, you will be thrown out with the risk of getting crushed by the vehicle.
IN THE EVENT OF OVERTURNING

The protective structure makes the driver’s seat the only safe place to be should the vehicle overturn.
DURING OVERTURNING
Never leave the vehicle but remain seated firmly, gripping the seat or the steering wheel.
AFTER OVERTURNING
Make sure that the vehicle is stable and that it will not continue turning over, unfasten the seatbelt, quickly leave
the vehicle trying to get off at the top to avoid being crushed by the vehicle should it continue overturning.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
3.2.6 TYRE BURSTING

If the tyres or rims are incorrectly used, there is a risk of the tyres bursting or getting damaged.
Tyre maintenance, removal, repair and refitting require special tools and techniques, therefore, always have
these operations carried out by an AUTHORISED SERVICE CENTRE OR AUTHORISED PERSONS.
- Check that the wheel nuts are properly fastened before starting work. If necessary tighten the nuts.
- Always check that the tyre inflation pressure is as specified by the manufacturer and check that the tyres are
in good condition.
If the tyre pressure is too low, the tyre could overheat and burst. Also if the tyre pressure is too high, there is
a risk of the tyres bursting.
- Check the tyre pressure when the tyres are still cold. Do not release the pressure when it increases in a hot
tyre.
- Keep at a safe distance or stand next to the tyre when inflating it.
- Keep the working area clear of sharp objects that could damage the tyres.
Deflate the tyres before removing any foreign bodies that may have lodged in the tread.
- Never use overhauled rims, since improperly carried out welding or heat treatments might weaken them.
- Do not cut or weld the rims when the tyres are fitted and inflated.
- Never inflate the tyres with a gas different from compressed air.
- The tyre pressure values and permitted speed specified in this manual correspond to the values specified by
the manufacturer (see the pressures and loads table).
For more information, contact FIORI or the tyre manufacturer.
3.2.7 ELECTRICAL RISKS

Any operation on the electric system or the battery must be carried out by a qualified person.
Before any operation on the electric system, disconnect the battery by removing the key from the battery
master switch. Check that the cables and terminals of the electrical connections show no sign of corrosion,
cracks or burns; if so, immediately contact your local FIORI dealer.
In the event of an electrical fault, do not attempt to start the vehicle by running it downhill.
3.2.8 RISK OF SHORT-CIRCUIT

Do not under any circumstances start the engine by short-circuiting the starter motor terminal or the battery.
3.2.9 BATTERY
The battery electrolyte contains sulphuric acid and batteries generate flammable hydrogen gas which could
explode. Improper use may cause serious injury or fire.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
3.2.10 HOT AND PRESSURISED FLUIDS

The hydraulic system is pressurised when the engine is running and may remain under pressure even after
the engine has been turned off.
Hot hydraulic oil causes serious burns.
- Wait for the oil to cool down before disconnecting the pipes. Pressurised fluid leaks may be invisible.
- DO NOT use your hands to check for leaks. Fluid leakage even from a very small hole may have sufficient
force to penetrate the skin.
If you need to check for leaks, use a piece of cardboard or wood.
Wear gloves to protect your hands from any oil splashes. DO NOT attempt to repair or tighten flexible hoses
or hydraulic unions when the hydraulic system of the vehicle is under pressure.
- TURN OFF the engine, discharge all the cylinders and release the pressure.
- Keep your face and hands away from loosened unions while you are checking the efficiency of the hydraulic
system. Wear protective goggles as the jet of pressurised hydraulic oil may penetrate your skin and cause
permanent injury to your eyes.
- If any fluid or oil leaks are found, immediately stop the vehicle and make the necessary repairs.
- Turn off the engine and check that all the hydraulic controls are in neutral position before removing covers,
unions, pipes, caps, etc.
3.2.11 RISK OF BURNS

- In order to prevent burns caused by boiling water or steam escaping while checking or draining the coolant,
wait for the water to cool down to a temperature such that you can touch the radiator cap without burning your
hand. Even when the coolant has cooled down, loosen the cap gradually to allow the pressure in the radiator
to drop before removing the cap completely.
- In order to prevent burns while checking or draining the oil, wait for the oil to cool down to a temperature such
that you can touch the drain cap without burning your hand. Even when the oil has cooled down, loosen the
drain cap gradually to allow the internal pressure to drop before removing the plug completely.
- Do not touch the silencer immediately after turning off the engine, as it is extremely hot and may cause
serious injury.
3.2.12 VENTILATION
Do not work with the vehicle in closed places unless equipped with a suitable combustion gas suction and
exhaust system.
Good ventilation is very important for vehicle operation. Carbon monoxide emission from the engine’s exhaust
may moreover cause suffocation in closed areas.
3.2.13 INTOXICATION
- Engine combustion smoke can be very dangerous and/or lethal for the human body if directly and continuously
inhaled.
- If you need to work in closed environments, take all possible precautions to ensure circulation of fresh air and
protect the airways by wearing a suitable mask.
- Avoid inhaling or contact with the battery acids which are highly toxic and cause serious burns.
- Be careful not to come into contact with cement as perspiration and other body fluids cause an irritating
alkaline reaction and in some people allergic reactions. Use protective gloves and goggles.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
- To lift and transport heavy parts use cranes or hoists of adequate capacity. Sling the material as best you can.
Use eyebolts where required. Always check that no one is in the vicinity.
- If you need to remove or fit units on the vehicle that need to be supported by hydraulic or pneumatic lifting
devices, check that they are of adequate capacity to support and handle the load.
Do not allow anyone to pass in the vicinity of the vehicle and absolutely do not allow anyone to stand
underneath the raised equipment even when you are certain that it is locked.
- Do not work on or under the vehicle if it is only supported by hydraulic or pneumatic lifting devices without
locking valves.
Do not work under or near a tool, a vehicle or parts of it that have been removed if they are not adequately
supported.
- If you need to make repairs at the top of the vehicle, use ladders or platforms compliant to the safety
regulations in force and always pay the utmost attention.
- Loads lifted with jacks is always dangerous.
Before operating on parts lifted with jacks, it is obligatory to position adequate supports to ensure that they
are securely supported.
- If there is a risk of being hit by metal splinters (grinding) always wear safety goggles.
After maintenance or repairs never leave tools, cloths or any other material in compartments containing moving
parts.
BATTERY
- Before carrying out any operation on the electric system, always disconnect the battery by removing the key
from the battery master switch.
- If you need to replace the battery, first disconnect the negative and then the positive cable. To reconnect the
battery, first connect the positive and then the negative cable and then reinsert the key in the battery master
switch.
- To recharge the battery, correctly connect the auxiliary cables to the terminals. Never short-circuit them.
During battery recharging, flammable hydrogen gas is produced, therefore, leave the battery compartment
open to ensure more effective ventilation.
- Never check the battery charge by placing metal objects on the terminals.
ENGINE
- Do not operate on the vehicle with the engine on.
- Do not turn on the engine while the lid is raised.
- Do not check or even less adjust the alternator belt tension with the engine on.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
TYRES
- The tyres are very heavy. Handle them carefully and when stored make sure that they cannot fall out of their
storage space and cause injury.
- Never attempt to repair a tyre on public roads.
- When a tyre needs to be changed, the first thing to do is engage the parking brake, shift the gear lever to
neutral, turn off the engine and remove the ignition key.
This operation must be carried out on level and solid ground.
Position a wedge under the wheel diametrically opposite the one to be replaced.
- Always stand the jack on a solid and flat surface.
- Check that the jack has sufficient lifting capacity for the vehicle.
- Use stands or other suitable supports to support the weight of the vehicle while you repair the tyres.
- Never lie under the vehicle, not even partially, or start the engine when the vehicle is lifted with a jack.
- Never hit the tyre or rim with a hammer.
- Check that the rim is clean and without rust or other damage. Do not weld, braze or repair a rim in any way
nor use a damaged rim.
- Do not inflate a tyre if the rim is not fitted on the vehicle and well fastened so that it cannot move in the event
that the tyre or the rim suddenly break.
- When fitting a new or repaired tyre, use a pressure gauge with a flexible hose connected to the valve so that
you can stand far away from the tyre during inflation. If possible, also use a safety cage.
- When checking the tyre pressure, also inspect the treads and the sides for any damage. Neglected damage
may lead to premature tyre breakage.
- The inflation pressure also determines the weight a tyre can support. Identify the tyre sizes in the pressure
and loads table. Do not exceed the load for any given pressure. Do not over- or under-inflate the tyres.
- Never inflate a steering tyre to over the maximum pressure recommended by the manufacturer as indicated
on the tyre, or over the maximum pressure indicated in the pressures and loads table and when the tyre is
not marked with the maximum pressure values.
- Inflating a tyre to over the permitted value with the bead not perfectly adjusted, there is a risk of the bead or
the rim breaking with an explosive force that could cause serious injury.
- Do not inflate a tyre that has been used deflated or at very low pressure, but first have it examined by a
qualified person.
- During inflation stand in a protected area with respect to the side of the tyre.
Never inflate using flammable gases or compressed air from systems with alcohol injectors.
- After refitting the wheel, tighten the wheel fastening nuts on the axle to the specified torque. Check the torque
of the nuts every day until it has stabilised.
REFUELLING
- Use only the products recommended by the manufacturer as indicated in the lubricants table.
- Refuel and top up at the intervals indicated in the scheduled maintenance table in this manual in order to
keep the vehicle in efficient and safe operating conditions.
- Wear clothing suited to the operations to be carried out.
- Any fluid top-ups must be carried out with the engine off and cold.
- Before checking or refuelling, make sure that there are no open flames or smoking materials in the area and
do not use matches, lighters or torches as light source.
- Unscrew the caps very slowly to release the pressure from the system before removing them completely.
- Be careful during refuelling and topping up as splashes of fuel and oil may cause slipping and injury.
Immediately and thoroughly clean off any soiled areas.

OPERATION AND USE
4.0. INTRODUCTION
This chapter is intended to help you learn how to manoeuvre with the vehicle. Read it carefully from start to
finish. When you have finished reading this chapter, you should have good knowledge of the vehicle and its
functioning.
Pay particular attention to the safety labels.

They are positioned to help you recognise the possible residual risks. Don’t just read them, but think about
what they really mean. Be aware of the risks and how to prevent them.
Once you have learned where the controls are and what they do, practice using them. Practice by using the
vehicle in the open on level ground and where there are no obstacles or persons around.
Learn to anticipate the reactions of the vehicle and its controls. Only start using the equipment when you are
sure that you have good command of the vehicle and can drive it safely.
Be careful when you use the equipment controls.

Practice in the open. Do not allow anyone to come near the vehicle. Do not act roughly on the controls, but use
them carefully until you fully understand the effect they have on the vehicle.
Finally, do not rush to learn to manoeuvre the vehicle. Take your time and do things calmly and safely.
CAUTION: Before starting to use or carry out maintenance on the vehicle, always read the safety
regulations for the operations to be carried out as set out in Chapter 3.

OPERATION AND USE
4.3.8 ENGINE OPERATION AT LOW RPM

It is unadvisable to leave the engine running at idle speed for too long.
Therefore, if you can foresee that the engine will be running at idle speed for a long period of time, always turn
it off.
Nonetheless, if you need to keep the engine running, make sure that the engine speed is sufficient to supply
the necessary engine oil pressure, indicated by the relative warning light on the instrument panel turning off.
4.3.9 ADJUSTING WHEEL ALIGNMENT
CAUTION: The steering must be selected with the machine stationary.
Whenever you drive on the road or for long stretches, it is essential to check proper alignment of the four
wheels to prevent running into translation problems.
To align the four wheels, operate as follows:
Turn the steering wheel to move the rear wheels into a straight line with the vehicle.
Shift the selection lever to the “2 RS” position and use the steering wheel to align the front wheels with the
rear ones (visually check).
Select the type of steering based on the type of translation to be performed with the vehicle.
After this procedure the steering will be synchronized.
During translation with “2 RS” the rear wheels remain in fixed position thanks to a check valve.
4.3.10 PARKING BRAKE (fig. 19)
CAUTION: When the engine is turned on, the parking brake automatically disengages if the button (1)
is released.

4.7 HOMOLOGATION FOR ROAD USE (ITALY)

This vehicle is classified as an operating vehicle according to Italian law.
In order to circulate on the road, it must be homologated and registered.
Pursuant to the regulations in force, the vehicle is equipped with an additional danger signalling device.
The yellow rotating beacon must always be turned on when circulating on the road.
The danger signal, consisting in the simultaneous illumination of the direction indicators, must be activated
when the vehicle is stationary on the road and in any situation where it is a hindrance to traffic.
Anyone who circulates on the road with a vehicle that does not comply with or violates applicable legislation
will be punished with a fine.
The MANUFACTURER must provide the declaration of conformity for road circulation.
The related documentation must be submitted by the Purchaser to the local Directorate-General for Road
Traffic and Privately Operated Transport Vehicles, for obtaining the registration certificate (logbook) and
number plate.
CAUTION: The declaration of conformity alone is absolutely not sufficient for road circulation. It is
mandatory to register the vehicle.
The declaration of conformity must be submitted the Driver within 12 months from the date
of issue; failure to do so may cause the Directorate-General for Road Traffic and Privately
Operated Transport Vehicles to reject issuance of the registration certificate (logbook) and
number plate.
4.8 PRECAUTIONS FOR USE IN COLD CLIMATE CONDITIONS

27
At the end of each work shift, empty the plastic water tanks to prevent them from swelling and bursting.
Unscrew the caps (1) as shown in the figure, positioned underneath the two tanks to let the water drain out.
Empty the water transfer pump by undoing the screw (2) to let the water drain out.
If you are forced to work in temperatures close to 0°C, check that the radiator is filled with an antifreeze mixture
to prevent the water from freezing.
- Check the quality of the antifreeze coolant at least once a year, for example, at the beginning of the cold
season. The coolant must be changed every two years.
- The antifreeze mixture must be made up of equal quantities of antifreeze and water. The corrosion inhibitor
contained in the antifreeze must be diluted if using a solution with less than 50% antifreeze. Concentrations
of more than 50% antifreeze may have a negative effect on coolant performance.
- Use an antifreeze of the type and brand as indicated in the RECOMMENDED LUBRICANTS AND FLUIDS
table and calculate the percentage water/antifreeze in relation to the ambient temperature using the table
provided by the manufacturer.
- After refilling/topping-up, run the engine for a few minutes to allow the water and antifreeze to mix well.
CAUTION: To use the vehicle at low temperatures, you also need to change the lubricants and use
types with an appropriate viscosity (see the RECOMMENDED LUBRICANTS AND FLUIDS
TABLE).

OPERATION AND USE
4.10.1 CORRECT USE OF THE VEHICLE

During transfer the operator should keep the driving post turned toward the front of the machine. When driving
on public roads follow the specific safety rules of chapter 3.
Working in worksite the operator should proceed with the machine in transfer lay out. If it is necessary to
proceed with the turret rotated working phase (e.g. unloading operations for foundations, inability to maneuver,
etc.), ask for a person to stand on the ground who can give useful info with manual signals for delimiting an
advancement area of more than 12 m.
4.10.2 BEFORE GETTING ON THE VEHICLE (CHECKS AND WARNINGS)
Before using the vehicle, you must perform some safety checks.
Some of these checks are aimed at verifying proper vehicle operation, others involve your own safety.
Have any and all defects or malfunctions repaired by a mechanical engineer.
Before performing all checks, make sure that the parking brake is applied.
Cleanliness
- Check that the light glass covers and the rearview mirrors are clean.
NOTE: Check that the rearview mirrors are positioned so that you have the best possible visibility of the area
behind the vehicle.
- Remove grime and dirt from the cylinders, pins and the radiator.
- Make sure that the steps and handhold are clean and dry.
- Clean all the adhesive safety labels. Replace any illegible or missing labels.
Damage
- Check that there are no damaged or missing parts.
- Check that all the articulation pins are properly in place and lubricated.
- Check the windows for any cracks or damage.
- Check that there are no oil, fuel or coolant leaks underneath the vehicle.
Check all the devices as indicated in the scheduled maintenance table in chapter 5 and make any necessary
repairs.
4.10.3 CORRECT USE ON SLOPES
When working on slopes, take some precautions to prevent risks to yourself and others in the vicinity. Carry
out the following checks and operations:
- Always check the working area for snow, small landslips, gravel and tilled soil which may suddenly change
the working conditions and vehicle stability.
Maximum surmountable gradient when loaded (ramps, obstacles, jerking).................................... 23° (41.6%)
Maximum permissible gradient on steep roads during transfer:
front .................................................................................................................................................... 14° (25%)
Side ..................................................................................................................................................... 4.6° (8%)

OPERATION AND USE
CAUTION: Observing the recommended gradient limits does not mean that you can manoeuvre the
vehicle in total freedom in all load, ground or manoeuvring conditions on a slope. In any
event, it is advisable to halve the gradient values on wet or uneven ground.
30
DANGER: Driving on slopes with a gradient above the prescribed one may cause the vehicle
to lose stability and consequently overturn.
RIGHT WRONG
31
- Do not change direction on slopes or move sideways, up or down the slope; if this is not possible, make
several diagonal manoeuvres holding the vehicle axis as parallel as possible to the direction of the slope.
- Never make sharp diagonal movements or, even worse, with the vehicle axis turned 90° with respect to the
direction of the slope.
- If the fuel reserve warning light comes on while you are working on a slope, immediately refuel; given that the
vehicle is inclined, the engine may take in air and stall unexpectedly, posing a grave danger to your safety.

possible.
Therefore, in addition to washing the vehicle when you have finished work as described in chapter 4.10.10, it
is advisable to wash the inside of the drum. Proceed as follows:
- Lower the loader to the ground.
- Fully raise the drum counterframe in order to bring the unloading hatch close to the ground.
- Wash the inside of the drum as thoroughly as possible using the washing nozzle.
- When done, turn the drum anticlockwise and drain out the water.
4.10.12 EXTRAORDINARY DRUM CLEANING OR BLADE REPLACEMENT
DANGER: Do not climb into the drum while it is still mounted on the vehicle.
Extensive use of the vehicle and not thoroughly washing the drum after mixing will wear out the blades or
cause them to clog up with solidified concrete.
Having to work inside the drum to solve these problems, it is obligatory to go to an equipped workshop
and dismantle the drum from the vehicle so that these operations can be carried out on the ground in safe
conditions.

5.6.1 DIESEL FUEL REQUIREMENTS

The Engine manufacturer is not in a position to continuously evaluate and monitor all worldwide distillate diesel
fuel specifications that are published by governments and technological societies.
The Specification for Distillate Diesel Fuel provides a known reliable baseline in order to judge the expected
performance of distillate diesel fuels that are derived from conventional sources.
Satisfactory engine performance is dependent on the use of a good quality fuel. The use of a good quality fuel
will give the following results: long engine life and acceptable exhaust emissions levels . The fuel must meet
the minimum requirements that are stated in the table.

(1)
This specification includes the requirements for Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD). ULSD fuel will have ≤ 15 ppm (0.0015%)
sulfur. Refer to ASTM D5453, ASTM D2622, or ISO 20846, ISO 20884 test methods.
(2)
A fuel with a higher cetane number is recommended in order to operate at a higher altitude or in cold weather.
(3)
“Via standards tables, the equivalent API gravity for the minimum density of 801 kg / m3 (kilograms per cubic meter) is
45 and for the maximum density of 876 kg / m3 is 30”.
(4)
The values of the fuel viscosity are the values as the fuel is delivered to the fuel injection pumps. Fuel should also meet
the minimum viscosity requirement and the fuel should meet the maximum viscosity requirements at 40 °C (104 °F) of
either the ASTM D445 test method or the ISO 3104 test method. If a fuel with a low viscosity is used, cooling of the fuel
may be required to maintain “1.4 cSt”or greater viscosity at the fuel injection pump. Fuels with a high viscosity might
require fuel heaters in order to lower the viscosity to “1.4 cSt” at the fuel injection pump.
(5)
Follow the test conditions and procedures for gasoline (motor).
(6)
The lubricity of a fuel is a concern with ultra low sulfur fuel. To determine the lubricity of the fuel, use the ISO 12156-1
or ASTM D6079 High Frequency Reciprocating Rig (HFRR) test. If the lubricity of a fuel does not meet the minimum
requirements, consult your fuel supplier. Do not treat the fuel without consulting the fuel supplier. Some additives are not
compatible. These additives can cause problems in the fuel system.
Engines that are certified with the fuel that is prescribed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency.
Engines that are manufactured are certified with the fuel that is prescribed by the European Certification.
The Engine manufacturer does not certify diesel engines on any other fuel.
Note: The owner and the operator of the engine has the responsibility of using the fuel that is prescribed by the
EPA and other appropriate regulatory agencies.
CAUTION: Operating with fuels that do not meet the Engine manufacturer recommendations can cau-
se the following effects: Starting difficulty, reduced fuel filter service life, poor combustion,
deposits in the fuel injectors, significantly reduce service life of the fuel system, deposits
in the combustion chamber and reduced service life of the engine.
CAUTION: The diesel engine must be operated using Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel. The sulphur content of
this fuel must be lower than 15 PPM. This fuel complies with the emissions regulations that
are prescribed by the Environmental Protection Agency of the United States.

Upon delivery of the vehicle, check the tyre inflation pressure and subsequently check it weekly.
Make sure that the tyres are inflated to the pressure specified by the manufacturer.
Check the tyre pressure when they are cold.
The inflation pressure also determines the weight a tyre can support. Identify the tyre sizes in the pressure and
loads table. Do not over- or under-inflate the tyres.
Incorrect tyre inflation causes tyre problems, therefore do not under-inflate A or over-inflate B.
If a tyre has completely deflated, call in a mechanic who will use an inflation cradle and suitable tools.
Before inflating a tyre, check that the wheel is properly fitted.
Only use air pumps fitted with a pressure regulator to be set to no more than 1 bar above the specified tyre
inflation pressure.
Make sure that the flexible air hose is properly connected to the tyre valve.
CAUTION: Check and tighten the rim bolts before each work shift, alternately going from one bolt to
the one diametrically opposite in the order shown in the figure.

CAUTION: Jack up the vehicle ONLY when the drum is empty and in rest position. Ensure that there
are always 3 wheels resting on level and solid ground.
DANGER: The front axle is oscillating and, during lifting, there is a risk of crushing your limbs
between the axle and the chassis. Incorrectly jacking up may moreover cause the
vehicle to overturn posing a grave risk to anyone working in the vicinity.
CAUTION: Pay attention to the support area underneath the jack; this area must be capable of supporting
the entire weight of the vehicle.
Fit the jack A under the central body B of the front axle.
To replace the rear tyres, fit the jack A under the screwed-on plate C of the axle shaft or, in the case of a round-
section axle shaft, fit an adapter (fork) in the jack.
Slowly jack up the vehicle until the arch rests on the chassis, then continue jacking up slowly until the deflated
tyre lifts off the ground and then proceed with repairing it.

DANGER: Wear protective goggles when operating on the battery. The battery contains
SULPHURIC ACID. If it comes into contact with your skin or eyes, immediately
rinse with water for at least 15 minutes and immediately seek medical advice.
DANGER: Wear protective gloves and clothing when handling the battery; do not tilt or turn
the battery upside down as acid could leak from the bleeder holes. Extinguish open
flames or smoking materials before checking or charging the battery. Batteries
release FLAMMABLE VAPOURS.
CAUTION: If the battery is partly discharged, replace it with an identical one or ask an electrical repair
shop to recharge it, or emergency start the vehicle.
CAUTION: Do not pollute the environment. The batteries are classified as polluting and hazardous
waste according to the law.
- The battery installed requires little maintenance, therefore, in normal conditions of use, the electrolyte does
not need to be topped up.
- Nevertheless, every 6 months check that the electrolyte level is between the MAX and MIN notches marked
on the battery.
- Before operating on the battery, remove the battery disconnection key D to cut the power to the system.
- To access the battery loosen the nut A, unscrew the nut B and turn the ladder C.
- To top up the electrolyte level, remove the caps E and fill up with distilled water without exceeding the
maximum level.
For a longer battery life, it is advisable to follow these additional instructions:
- Turn off the lights when the engine is off or in idle.
- Do not turn off the engine for short stops because the battery uses a lot of power to start the engine.
- Regularly check that the cable terminals are properly secured and lubricated with Vaseline.
- Always keep the top of the battery clean.
- Before working on the terminals, disconnect the end on the earth cable.

Positioned behind the cabin under the water suction pump.
B - Low-pressure nozzle.
C - High-pressure nozzle.
D – Pressure regulating valve.
Turning the valve clockwise releases the pressure and anticlockwise increases the pressure.
E - Switch
Position “1” - Water suction pump activation.
Position “2”- Power jet cleaner pump activation.
F - High-pressure hose.
Connects the pump to the power jet cleaner.
G - Water pressure gauge.
Shows the pressure of the water flowing from the pump.
H - Water pump.
Positioned at the rear of the chassis in the tool compartment.
I - Switch
Turn switch lever E to position “2” to trigger the switch that enables water sensor L. If the sensor detects
that there is no water flow due to the empty tank, pump H automatically stops.

DANGER: The high energy of the pressurised jet may be extremely dangerous. Keep away
from persons, animals and any delicate object when the pump is operating.
Never direct the pressurised jet at persons, animals, electrical equipment and fragile
parts in general. Never put your hands in the pressurised jet (RISK OF INJURY).
Never leave the hose F under pressure. This may cause damage to persons or
things should you involuntarily pull the trigger of the power jet cleaner.
CAUTION: Wear protective goggles and clothing during use of the power jet cleaner.
Always hold the power jet cleaner with both hands when it is operating.
- Start the engine and engage the parking brake.

- Press the switch S on the dashboard in the cabin to activate the water pump circuit.
- Turn the lever of the switch Eto position (2) to activate the power jet cleaner pump H.
- Open the catches and extract the power jet cleaner A , unwind the high-pressure hose F from its reel and
screw it onto the power jet cleaner.
- Turn the valve D on the power jet cleaner until the low-pressure nozzle B is completely open.
- Hold the trigger of the power jet cleaner pulled and let the pump run until all the air has been expelled from
the tubes and the water flows uniformly and continuously from the nozzles B and C .
- Gradually close the valve D on the power jet cleaner until the pointer of the water pressure gauge G indicates
that the operating pressure has been reached (150 bar).
- Close and open the power jet cleaner two or three times to check proper functioning. Releasing the trigger,
the pump must stop and restart as soon as the trigger is pulled again; the pressure gauge reading must drop
by 10-15 bar to return to the set value.
- When you have finished work, fully open the low-pressure nozzle B of the power jet cleaner.
- Turn the lever of the switch E to position (1) to close the oil inlet to the pump H.

OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT
- Pull the trigger of the power jet cleaner to discharge all the residual pressure in the tubes to ground.
CAUTION: If during use you notice that the pump becomes noisier and the jet discontinuous, it means
that it is taking in air. Immediately open the low-pressure nozzle B and correct the fault.
CAUTION: Use only nozzles with a fan-pattern jet to clean delicate surfaces, holding the nozzle 75cm
away from the surface to be cleaned.
CAUTION: In the event of malfunctioning, immediately contact the nearest AUTHORISED FIORI
WORKSHOP.
6.2.5. PRECAUTIONS FOR USE IN COLD CLIMATE CONDITIONS
If you have to work in ambient temperatures close to 0°C, the pump has to be operated without pressure for
one minute with the power jet cleaner open so that any ice that has formed can melt.
CAUTION: If the pump has frozen, do not operate it until the entire system has defrosted.
- Clean the pump with water mixed with a solution of antifreeze for radiators or an oily lubricating and anti-
oxidant solution.
- Do not operate the pump with cold oil.
- If the hoses have frozen, let them defrost before starting work.
- When you have finished work, disconnect the water inlet tube and fully discharge the pressure by holding the
regulating valve on the power jet cleaner open. Use the breather valve to drain out the residual water in the
pump cover.

OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT
- Adjust the temperature as desired using the knob on the thermostat B.

- Direct the air flow through the adjustable air vents C.
- Do not set and hold the thermostat B to the highest value and the fan switch A to the first speed, to avoid
freezing the evaporator battery inside the air conditioner.
- If the machine is parked in the sun for long periods of time, move the fan control (switch A and the thermostat
B) to the highest level; aerate the cabin thoroughly, driving for several minutes with the windows open.
- Should the system performance decrease, please contact an Authorised FIORI Service Centre or Workshop
to check the quantity of refrigerant.
CAUTION: The recommended temperature is 5 or 6°C. This is below the outside temperature.
6.3.2. MAINTENANCE
DANGER: For specific maintenance operations on the air-conditioning system (e.g. cleaning
of the condenser, radiator, air filter, and refrigerant refilling), please contact an
Authorised FIORI Service Centre or Workshop. Failure to observe this instruction
may lead to serious damages.
DANGER: The refrigerant in the-air conditioning system is extremely dangerous.

If it is sprayed into the eyes or comes in contact with the skin, immediately wash the
affected parts with abundant running water and seek medical advice. In addition,
to prevent explosions, do not create sparks nor use open flames in the vicinity of
the system.
CAUTION: To discharge the gas from the air-condition-

ing system and clean the filter A of the radia-
tor, contact an authorized Fiori Service Centre
or a workshop specialised in air-conditioning
system maintenance.

diesel engines. These engines when fitted with a DPF (Diesel Particulate
Filter) can self-clean the filter of particulates. This self-cleaning is known as
Regeneration. PowerView offers 3-CAN options when DPF REGEN is
enabled and available in the engine ECU. For more information, find
document # 1110836 on the Murphy Web site (www.fwmurphy.com).
Unless selected in the OEM Menu, DPF REGEN does not

display in the Main Menu. When available, the following
options are presented:
00-02-0796 - 11 - 2013-04-08

and PowerView sends a CAN message to the ECU to
perform DPF Regeneration (regen) automatically
whenever needed.
2. REQUEST DPF REGEN – Select this and a second
screen, REQUEST DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER
REGEN, displays. Use this to force a regen when auto-
regen is not due or is inhibited by PowerView. Touch
YES (Enter) and PowerView sends a request for a
regen every second for 10 seconds. If the engine does
not respond, PowerView defaults back to Auto DPF
Regen. You may send the request again or exit without
sending a request by touching CANCEL (Menu). You
return to the Main menu.
3. INHIBIT DPF REGEN – In cases where regen cannot
be performed due to restrictions, select this to eliminate
the possibility of a regen occurring. The inhibit lamp
displays when the engine ECU responds to this inhibit
request from PowerView. Once this option is selected, it
remains in place through power cycles. When inhibit is
no longer needed, you can select a different option.
00-02-0796 - 12 - 2013-04-08
