with particular reference to overloading or modifications to the features of the prod-
uct.
Furthermore, after each intervention, the duration of use must be systematically
noted, indicated by the hour counter detector.
To guarantee duration of use and justify maintenance as the needs arise, the hour
counter must be kept in good working conditions.
In case of contrary operations to that stated in the user and maintenance manual,
warranty interventions cannot be taken into consideration.
The warranty foreseen is immediately invalidated with full rights, if the faults verified
are caused by one of the following reasons:
o if non original Faresin Industries spare parts are used;

ADJUSTMENTS
Each adjustment, whatever it may be, could be necessary at any moment. Adjust-
ments are part of the normal conditions of machine use and are not covered by the
warranty.
Contamination of fuel and hydraulic circuits. All the precautions must be taken to
make sure that the diesel fuel and hydraulic oil are kept in good conditions: it is pos-
sible, in any case, to contaminate the fuel and hydraulic circuits mainly when the fu-
els and lubricants are stored on the work site.
Furthermore, a not perfect and irregular cleaning of the tank can also provoke con-
tamination of the fuel circuit causing damage to parts in direct contact with the fuel.
Faresin Industries will not accept warranty requests relating to the cleaning of the
fuel circuit, the filter, the injection pump or any other equipment in direct contact with

the ideal position is reached, release the lever.

Tipping the seat


Push lever (5) down and tilt the seat forwards.
This operations allows access to the rear compartment where the accesso-
ries provided, instruction booklets and common tank for front and rear win-
dow washing are located.
The side arm rests (4) can be tilted freely.

The seat has an operator detector sensor. If the operator stands from the
seat when the machine has the engine switched on, the presence sensor
activates the negative brakes automatically. As a result, during transfers,
especially if performed at high speed, even with the seat belt fastened, it is
necessary to seat correctly, to prevent the risk that the machine stops suddenly and
without notice.
With the engine running but no operator seated in the cabin, the machine
automatically engages the brakes.

2.08 THE ANTI-ROLL OVER LIMITER SYSTEM

The Longitudinal Load Moment Indication and Control system


(LLMI/LLMC) is built and enabled to carry out its safety function only and
exclusively in the following conditions:
• when the machine is at a stop;
• when the machine is on solid, stable and flat ground;
• when the anti roll system is not bypassed.
The system checks conditions of stability only and exclusively in a longitudinal direc-
tion and is therefore not enabled to signal the risk of tipping over when:
• the machine is not subject to sudden overload;
• the machine travels with a raised load;
• the machine travels over rough terrain with obstructions and/or
holes;
• the machine travels on a slope;
• the machine travels around a bend at high speed.
When the system's self-diagnosis function signals a fault it is necessary to stop and
park the machine as soon as possible; contact the assistance service offered by the
manufacturer or dealer.

The longitudinal load moment indicator and control system is a safety


element.
To not try to perform makeshift operations and/or repairs on it directly!
REPAIRING AND/OR CALIBRATING THE LONGITUDINAL ANTI ROLL SYSTEM
MUST BE PERFORMED BY AUTHORISED PERSONNEL ONLY.

change button in place of cap 27 (40 km/h versions)
To change gear: put it in neutral; press the brake
pedal all the way down; press the gear change but-
ton; release the brake; enter the direction of move-
ment; steer rt or lt to help the gear engage; start
moving slowly.

28 Air conditioning activator switch (Optional)


The switch with two work positions on/off. Push the switch 3.26 to
select the fan speed.

31 Parking brake operating switch


Replaces the classic manual lever. To activate the switch, move the mechanical lock
located on the switch down; this prevents the parking brake from being inserted or
released without warning. When the brake is inserted, the red warning light located
on the switch activates.
• Always push the switch before abandoning the machine, even if only for a short pe-
riod.
• When the engine is off and the ignition key in position "0", the machine is fully
locked due to the lack of hydraulic pressure. This is the same as having the parking
brake inserted.
The brakes can be released without the engine running. This is necessary for towing
the machine. The circuit is equipped with a hydraulic accumulator that, thanks to its
charge, maintains pressure in the braking hydraulic circuit even if the engine is off.
To activate the accumulator, turn the ignition key to the first step. Note that at each
insertion, the accumulator loses a part of its charge; the accumulator is kept charged
for 3-4 insertions after which, to move the machine, the brakes must be manually re-
leased acting on the screws on the front axle.
The charge remains constant unless accidental blow-by or oil leaks occur. In this
case, the low pressure accumulator warning light on the central dashboard lights up.

32 RIGHT outrigger activation button


The button controls the lifting and lowering of the right stabilisers.

33 LEFT outrigger activation button


The button controls the lifting and lowering of the left stabilisers.

Page 32
TELESCOPIC ELEVATOR OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
MOD. FH 10 - 14 - 17

34 Steering selector
Three different steering types are available by means of the selector (34).
Pos. A = front and back wheel drive (“circle” drive).
Pos. B = front wheel drive only.
Pos. C = wheels in traverse position ("crab" drive).

The selection must be performed when the machine is at a standstill.


When driving on public roads the selector must be placed in the central
position (B) and the red mechanical interlock must also be inserted
(28a).
When advancing in traverse mode, a moderate speed must be maintained
because this movement usually reduces the safety system.

How to align the wheels


Proceed as follows to align the wheels:
• Take the selector to position (A) and straighten the rear wheels.
• Take the selector to position (B) and straighten the front wheels.
The alignment of the front and rear wheels is indicated by the yellow warning lights
coming on at the same time on the central dashboard (warning lights 7-8).

35 Levelling button (Optional)


Press the left or right button to obtain the oscillation of the machine in relation to the
ground level by means of the hydraulic cylinder connected to the front axle. The var-
iation range is 10°C in both directions.
• Push left (a) to tilt the machine as shown in figure.
• Press right (b) to tilt the machine in the opposite direction.
To enable the control, push the stabilisers activation button located on the left dash-
board (see 2.2.8.15).
The control must be activated only with the machine at stand still.

2.11 PEDALS

"Inching"
The inching pedal is an integral part of the service brake (2).
It acts in the first part of the brake pedals course allowing slow and
precise movements with the machine even with the engine at full
speed.

• The pedals must always be ready to be acti-


vated with no hindrance. In the pedal area, must
be free from objects that could end up under the
pedals.
• No Mats or other pavement covering must be used:
• All pedals must be able to return to original position with no hindrance.
• Attention: pushing the pedal too far causes the machine to stop because it
activates the brake.

• When the machine is moving at fast speed, pushing fully the


brake is dangerous for yourself and the machine, in fact:
• The course of inching is short, pushing the pedal more than nec-
essary can cause sudden braking (the service brake
is activated).
• Sudden stop can cause the loss of loads being transported.
• Reducing speed by inching is not indicated by the rear lights, as with normal
braking, therefore there is a great risk of being bumped by whom is behind.
• Sudden braking can cause physical trauma caused by the safety belt that
should be fastened.

Service brakes
Push pedal (2) to slow down or stop the machine; the action is transmitted to the
servo brake valve that acts on the brake discs inside the front differential bridges.
Being an assisted servo brake, the pressure applied on the pedal does not influence
much the braking. Even if pushed slightly, the brake stops decisively.

• The active parts of the parking brake plants are integrated inside the
front bridge; the service brake acts both on the front bridge and on the
back one.
• Both are with disks in oil bath that guarantee efficiency and effective-
ness throughout the years, as well as no need for maintenance.
It is hydraulically operated. Pushing the pedal, the brake valve drawer that allows the
oil to pass, moves towards the brakes box pressing the brake discs between them.
When the pedals are not activated, the brakes are free both with the machine on or
off.
An appropriate warning light indicates a possible pressure drop in the braking circuit
(warning light 6).
Accelerator
The gas pedal is connected by a pipe to a hydraulic cylinder connected directly to
the engine.
Push the pedal to increase the engine speed, release it to reduce speed.

CHAPTER 3

SAFETY

Page 39
TELESCOPIC ELEVATOR OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
MOD. FH 10 - 14 - 17

3.01 GENERAL INFORMATION

The machine is equipped with safety devices that increase the safety of the operator
but also prevent danger deriving from incorrect manoeuvres or forgetfulness.

3.02 TAMPERING

Do not tamper or remove plates and safety devices installed on the machine.
Tampering of safety devices and not observing signs relieves the manufacturer from
all responsibility of any damage to objects or injury to people that could occur. The
action maker is the only person responsible towards the competent body.

3.03 CABIN

The cabin is ROPS and FOPS approved as for earth moving machines.
□ ROPS = Roll over protection safety
□ FOPS = Falling objects protection safety
If the machine being manoeuvred is rolling over, remain inside the cabin for best pro-
tection.

SAFETY BELTS
• Safety belts must be kept fastened to prevent being thrown out
of the machine or crushing in case of roll over.

• The belt is fitted correctly when it is positioned on your pelvis with-


out provoking nuisance during driving.
• Using the belt increases the level of operator safety and reduces
the risk of accidents.
EMERGENCY EXIT
The back windowpane acts also as an emergency exit. If necessary, to
open the window fully extract the stop (1) downwards and pushing the
window outwards with your hand.
Unless it is necessary, do not fully open the window; when
fully open, the window can interfere with the angular
movement of the telescopic boom and can be sheared.

Page 40
TELESCOPIC ELEVATOR OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
MOD. FH 10 - 14 - 17

3.04 ENGINE START UP CONTROL

The engine does not start if the gear control lever is not in neutral position "N".

3.05 MACHINE STOP SYSTEM

The machine automatically stops after 5 seconds from when the operator abandons
the driver seat; the hydrostatic transmission automatically disconnects and the
brakes insert.
For safety reasons, during transfer, especially if travelling at a sustained
speed with belts fastened, remain seated correctly otherwise you run
the risk of the machine braking suddenly without warning.

3.06 ANTI ROLL OVER DEVICE

The vehicle has an anti roll system that makes (based on the weight of the load and
the length and inclination of the boom) a loading cell installed on the rear axle to
check lessen the weight exerted on it determined by the longitudinal tipping moment;
if this exceeds a certain limit the system will immediately block any aggravating
movements of the boom.
The check is carried out by a series of electronic signals that are processed by a
control unit.
When 80% of the maximum load has been reached an intermittent acoustic signal is
emitted and a yellow warning light switches on the display.
When the load has achieved 100% all movements aggravated by the boom are
locked: the acoustic signal becomes continuous and the red warning light on the dis-
play will come on.

Temporary suspension of the anti roll over protection device


Hold the key (1) rotated towards the right to disconnect the anti roll over device.
When lifting an unknown weight that exceeds the load permitted by the machine,
the system locks the descending movements, preventing the deposit of the load.
To exit this irregular condition, interrupt immediately the lifting operations and
keeping the key turned, slowly lower the load.
The key can only be used for the emergency situation described above.
The operator must reflect upon the disconnection of the device before acting.
Disconnecting the device no longer guarantees the stability of the machine running
the risk of roll over.
The operator is responsible for the machine movements and must be aware of the
consequences his/her actions can provoke.

3.07 HYDRAULIC CYLINDERS CONTROL

All of the machine hydraulic cylinders are equipped with mechanical safety valves
that prevent the uncontrolled stroke of the piston in case of troubleshooting or dam-
age to the hydraulic circuit.

3.08 BOOM LOCKING DEVICES

It may be necessary to access the boom area for maintenance


purposes. In this case, make sure the boom cannot lower from its
position.

The machine has a special metallic lock to be manu-


ally placed on the rod of the lifting cylinder.
The device is fixed with bolts on the rear side of the
machine behind the driver cabin.
After use, the device must be replaced in its position.
Procedure for positioning the lock
1. Lift the boom to such height that the cylinder rod is slightly
longer than the lock.
2. Take the two appropriate bolts provided with the machine.
3. Climb onto the central bridge and place the block on top of
the cylinder rod.
4. Insert the two bolts in the two end holes and lock with the
nuts. This prevents the lock from moving out of position.

3.09 ROTATING LIGHT

The rotating light is an accessory useful for indicating to others the presence of the
machine in the operating area.
The correct position is on the cabin roof where it remains fixed thanks to its magnetic
base.
To remove it, pull sideways with force to lift the base.
When not in use, place it inside the cabin.
The rotating light is equipped with an extensible cable with power connector to be
inserted in the power socket behind the driver cabin.
The device must be used when driving on public roads and during
building site operations.

3.10 SAFETY ACOUSTIC SIGNALS

Reverse movements
When the machine is reversing, the acoustic signal is automatically emitted to warn
the people present, the possibility of dangers represented by the machine.

3.11 ANTI ROLL SYSTEM (LLMI – LLMC

The anti roll system monitors moments generated by loads in a longitudinal


direction, in all possible geometric positions generated by the movement of
the boom.
Switching on and the correct operation of the system are highlighted by the
green POWER warning light on the screen.
When the first yellow LED lights up on the screen an intermittent acoustic
signal will sound; the machine is in a state of pre-alarm and it is therefore
necessary to operate with caution.
When the first red LED (2) comes on, all aggravating movements of the
boom are disabled and the frequency of the acoustic signal increases.

CHAPTER 4

HOW TO USE THE MACHINE

Page 44
TELESCOPIC ELEVATOR OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
MOD. FH 10 - 14 - 17

• The following information and list of standards must be understood and carried
out for full, safe working conditions.
• The main standards and prohibitions are available in chapter 1 "General Infor-
mation".

4.01 DECLARED USE OF THE MACHINE

Telescopic elevators are self-propelled machines on wheels, with a single driver's


seat and one operator, intended for use on compact and flat surfaces that, thanks to
the extendible boom, are suitable to perform operations to lift, handle and place
loads.
The machine has been designed and built to operate in open environments; in order
to use the machine in closed environments or underground where there is no risk of
explosion, special installations are foreseen (contact your dealer for further details).

4.02 NON DECLARED USE

• It is forbidden to use the machine for purposes other than that for which it has
been manufactured.
• It is forbidden to use the machine outside of the technical limits indicated in
chapter 2 “Understanding the machine” and in any manner that differs from any
other indication of correct use contained in this manual.
• It is forbidden to use the machine in explosive environments.

The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for accidents or damage caused by


improper use of the machine and warranty is immediately invalidated. The user is
solely responsible towards the competent body.

4.03 DRIVING QUALIFICATIONS

The vehicle must only be used by qualified and authorised staff; the minimum train-
ing requisites are:
• a driving license for circulating on roads in the country where the machine is to
operate;
• telescopic elevator operator course attendance certificate;
The operator must be able to read and understand what is described in this manual
especially:
• the operation of the safety devices provided with the machine;
• the location and the function of all controls and instruments;
• the correct rules for using the machine correctly;
• the use limits of the machine;
• what not to do or to avoid.
4.04 RESPONSIBLE USE

• To start the engine, the operator must be sat in the driver seat. Inappropriate
procedures can cause unexpected machine movements causing injury to people
and damage to objects.
• The machine must only be moved with the operator sat on the driver seat.
• Never start the engine with ongoing short circuit.
• Take care of the machine. If malfunctions or damage to the safety systems
arise, immediately inform a supervisor.

Page 45
TELESCOPIC ELEVATOR OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
MOD. FH 10 - 14 - 17

• Observe the controls and maintenance program described in the chapter "Main-
tenance".
• Do not perform repair or adjustments, unless authorised and with the necessary
training.
• Tampering with safety devices relieves the manufacturer from responsibility in
case of damage to objects or injury to people.

4.05 RESPONSIBLE DRIVING

• Do not allow people or animals on the machine or inside the driver cabin. Doing
so can obstruct the view, reducing safety standards and provoking accidental
use of the controls.
• Do not listen to music with headsets whilst operating the machine. This can pro-
voke the loss of concentration and lack of attention during work.
• Do not wear loose clothing, chains or belts that can get caught on the control
lever or in other parts of the machine.
• Do not drive with greasy hands or shoes.
• Adjust the seat and steering wheel positions to guarantee a safe and comfort-
able use of the controls, before starting the machine.
• Safety belts must always be fastened. keep a straight position so that parts of
the body do not stick out of the cabin.
• Do not use controls such as grips for climbing on to or off the machine.
• Never transport people unless the machine is equipped for such purpose and
provided with a certificate in compliance with standards for lifting people.

4.06 REFUELLING

The fuel is a flammable substance therefore, maximum attention and precautions


must be taken to prevent the risk of explosions and fires.
• Never refuel whilst smoking or in the presence of flames or sparks.
• Refuel with the engine off and possibly in the outdoors.

4.07 ROAD CIRCULATION

• To circulate on road, the machine must comply with the road traffic code of the
country of operation. For the necessary information, contact your dealer.
• When circulating on road, respect the relative highway code.
• It is forbidden to transport loads on public roads.
• It is forbidden to operate the machine under the influence of alcohol and/or
drugs.
• It is forbidden to operate with the cabin door open.

BEFORE MOVING

• Make sure the blinker is well installed and working properly.


• Make sure the lighting, signalling, optic and acoustic systems are clean and
working properly.
• Check the wear of the windscreen wiper brushes and make sure it is working
properly.
• Make sure the wheels are aligned and that only front wheel drive is set.

Page 46
TELESCOPIC ELEVATOR OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
MOD. FH 10 - 14 - 17

• Check the function of the rear-view mirrors.


• Make sure there is enough fuel in the tank.
• Retract and fully lower the boom.
• Fully lift the outriggers.

FORWARD DRIVE

If visibility is scarce due to fog, rain, dust etc. reduce speed and use appropriate
lighting.
When passing through limited openings such as archways or gates, make sure there
is minimum space for manoeuvring.
When manoeuvring at fast speeds, remain correctly seated because the accidental
activation of the integrated presence sensor on the seat can provoke sudden and
unexpected slowing down of the machine.

REVERSE DRIVE

• Before reversing, make sure no bodies or obstacles are within the operating
area of the machine.
• If your view is obstructed, ask for help from a person on the ground and main-
tain visual contact with this person.
• Make sure glass and rear-view mirrors are clean and in good condition.
• Avoid driving long paths reversing at high speed; scarce manoeuvrability of the
driving position reduces safety margins and causes fatigue.
4.08 PARKING

• Make sure the ground upon which the outriggers and wheels rest is
compact and resistant.
• Insert the parking brake button (see paragraph 2.8.3.31).
Park on flat ground. If the surface seems unsafe, lower the outriggers and
place if necessary, the wedges in front of the wheels.
If the slope exceeds 15%, block the wheels with wedges. In these conditions
the parking brake may not guarantee sufficient brake torque.
• Lock the hydraulic controls with the appropriate devices (where pro-
vided).
• Retract and lower the telescopic boom to rest on the ground the acces-
sory in use.
• Place the gear control lever in neutral position "N".
• Switch off the engine and extract the ignition key.
• Close all windows and lock the door with the key.
• Never leave the ignition key inserted when permanently abandoning the ma-
chine.
• When temporarily abandoning the driver seat, place the gear control lever in
neutral position "N" and activate the parking brake button both if the engine is
running or is off.
• Never park in places that can obstruct road circulation or can be generally dan-
gerous.
• Never park the machine during stops with the boom extended or lifted.

MOD. FH 10 - 14 - 17

4.09 GENERAL REGULATIONS FOR USE OF THE ACCESSORIES

• When transporting a load, keep the accessory at a maximum height of 300 mm


from the ground.
• Avoid, where possible, winding roads. In these cases, move with precaution.
• Move at slow speed and with the transmission lever in position "I".
• Respect the load diagram limits for the accessory in use.
• If the material to be moved is on a support base, before lifting it with the material
check that it is in good conditions and adapted to the weight to be lifted.
• Never lift loads with only one fork.
• Never lift a slung load with the forks but use the specific accessory. The edges
of the forks under the weight of the load could cut the lifting cables.
• When transporting a load hung from the cable, do not allow it to swing exces-
sively. If this happens, stop immediately and set off again when the load is stabi-
lised.
• When transporting a load with a mobile barycentre, for example a liquid, avoid
sudden acceleration and braking. Be very careful when the route is pending
slightly.
• After use, place the accessory in a horizontal position and if it seems unstable,
prop it with adequate and safe supports.
• When stabilising the machine, control the side extraction movement of the front
and rear crossbars and then activate the vertical movement trying to maintain
the machine as flat as possible
• It is forbidden to operate the machine under the influence of alcohol and/or
drugs.

Use protective safety devices suited to the circumstances


• Wear ear defenders or ear plugs to protect from excessive noise.
• In case of the risk of falling objects from above, a safety helmet must be worn
(the cabin is designed to resist falling objects from above).

Inspect the work area before operating


• If the work area is near to an excavation or is characterised by a deep slope, the
machine is at great risk of roll-over.
• Keep the machine as far away as possible from the excavation edges and road
margins.
• Before operating the machine, examine the configuration and the conditions of
the work area.
• Icy surfaces that seem a solid base, could yield if the temperature rises and
compromise the stability of the machine.

Page 48
TELESCOPIC ELEVATOR OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
MOD. FH 10 - 14 - 17

4.10 INSTALLING THE ACCESSORIES

• The accessories hooked to the boom must be equipped with standard locking
devices.
• The accessory must not reduce the function of the front lights.
• After installation, always check the accuracy of the hook.

4.11 GROUND CAPACITY FEATURES

2
Clayey ground ............................................... 2-4 kg/cm
2
Rocky grounds .......................................... 10-15 kg/cm
2
Solid rock .................................................. 15-30 kg/cm

The features indicated above are indicative and can vary from ground to
ground, humidity conditions and environmental temperatures.

4.12 MOVE THE MACHINE SAFELY

• Always work in proper lit conditions; the standard machine lighting system is not
adequate for lighting the working area.
• Work far away from electric power lines. At a distance less than 5 meters there
is the risk of electric shocks.
• Do not allow anyone to approach the operative area and pass under the load.
• Never lift the load above people.
• It is forbidden to operate with the cabin door open.
• The lighting signal must always be working both during work phases and during
transfers. This warns staff nearby of possible dangers.
• When vision is reduced by environmental conditions or obstacles, ask a person
for help for signalling.
• If the load being transported reduces your visibility, reverse only if the route is
short.
• Make sure the windows are always clean, the lighting system is efficient and the
rear-view mirrors are well positioned.
• If other machines are being used on the building site, assign a coordinator who
will perform signals and clear understandable orders.
• Before lifting loads, make sure that nothing and no one can obstruct the opera-
tion avoiding dangerous movements.
• Carry out slow manoeuvres and progressive lifting and lowering of the tele-
scopic boom.
• Never perform operations that exceed the capacity of the machine or accessory.
• It is forbidden to increase the balance weight value.
• When using the machine, respect the instruments control at regular intervals in
order to detect in time any troubleshooting.
• If an instrument or warning light indicates troubleshooting, switch off the engine
and carry out the necessary operation (see "Maintenance" chapter).
• Try to keep the load stable as much as possible. When bending pay careful at-
tention because it could modify its barycentre.
• If the load transported is naturally unstable, adequately sling it.
• In case of strong wind, avoid extreme use of the telescopic boom.

Page 49
TELESCOPIC ELEVATOR OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
MOD. FH 10 - 14 - 17

• Never use the people basket during storms.


• In case of wind exceeding 12.5 m/sec (45 km/h), corresponding to 6 on the
BEAUFORT ladder, interrupt the boom lifting operation.

Grade 6 on the BEAUFORT ladder indicates a wind that causes continuous


motion of large branches, the wind howls along the telephone cables and
it is difficult to use umbrellas.

After intense use of the machine, do not switch it off immediately but
let it to run at a minimum for a few minutes allowing the engine tem-
perature and the hydrostatic transmission temperature to cool down.
This rule must be respected especially if the switching on and off of
the engine if frequently followed. In these conditions the cooling system is
not efficient due to the brief function time.

4.13 MANOEUVRING ON UNEVEN GROUND

• When moving on uneven ground, the contact of the wheels with the surface is
conditioned by the depth of possible holes and obstacles found along the route.
• Wheel contact is guaranteed if the difference of level (A) is +/- 15 cm; above this
value, the bottom wheel remains lifted off of the ground.

Page 50
TELESCOPIC ELEVATOR OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
MOD. FH 10 - 14 - 17

4.14 MANOEUVRING ON CROSSFALL GROUNDS

• Before operating on grounds with a transversal gradient use the out-


riggers or levelling device in order to level the machine. It is forbid-
den to lift and/or handle loads on sloped terrain without first
having levelled the machine. Lifting loads with an unlevelled ma-
chine is very dangerous and exposes the vehicle and the operator
to the risk of tipping sideways. Travelling on a transversal slope can
be carried out but only on a gradient that is less than or equal to
10%, with the boom fully retracted and lowered all the way down.

4.15 MANOEUVRING ON LONGITUDINAL SLOPING GROUNDS

• Move and brake gently.


• If moving without a load, do so with the accessory facing
downstream.
• If moving a load, do so with the transport accessory facing
upstream.
• Before depositing the load, make sure the support base is
able to sustain the weight safely and securely.
The maximum slopes not to be exceeded during transport of a
load are shown in the figures at the side.

4.16 TRANSPORTING THE LOAD

• Make sure you have selected the type of steering required.


• Fully retract the boom.
• Lift the boom and rotate the accessories holder backwards to lift the load 300
mm from the ground.
• Transport the load using the slow gear.

It is forbidden to transport loads on public roads .

4.17 IN CASE OF ROLL-OVER

• If the machine being manoeuvred is rolling over, remain inside the cabin for your
best protection. If, as required, the safety belt is fastened, maximum protection
is ensured.
• After roll-over and when the machine has stopped, exit using the door if possi-
ble, otherwise open the rear window as described in the "Understanding the
machine" chapter.

4.18 MOVING OR TOWING MASSES

• It is forbidden to tow masses with the boom.

Page 51
TELESCOPIC ELEVATOR OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
MOD. FH 10 - 14 - 17

• It is forbidden to move masses with the boom extended


• It is obligatory to retract the boom before moving masses.

Page 52
TELESCOPIC ELEVATOR OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
MOD. FH 10 - 14 - 17

The start up sequence and rules to be observed are described as follows.


For use of all controls read the "Understanding the machine" chapter.

4.19 STARTING UP THE ENGINE

Before starting up the engine, carry out the following:


• Sit on the driver seat.
• Make sure that the parking brake switch is not active.
• Place the gear control lever in the neutral central position
(N).
• Turn the ignition key clockwise to position (1). With the
key in this position the following signals must be acti-
vated:
□ battery charging warning light;
□ engine oil pressure warning light;
□ acoustic warning.
Never start up the engine if the battery and engine oil warning
lights do not light up. Consult the "Maintenance" chapter of
this manual. If the temperature is too low, in machines with the
preheating engine air option, the spark plugs warning light also
lights up. Before starting up the engine wait for this light to go
off.
• To preheat, turn the key to position (2) and if the tempera-
ture is too low, wait 15 seconds.
• Fully turn the ignition key to start up the engine and re-
lease it: the key automatically returns to position "I".
During this time, all warning lights on the display are
flashing, in that the electronic components are temporarily
disconnected, until the engine is started again.

• Never activate the starting motor for more than 5 seconds. To avoid excessive
battery stress, allow 10 seconds between one attempt and another.
• Never start up the machine by towing it or pushing it. Such action can cause se-
rious damage to the hydrostatic transmission.
• When using the machine, respect the instruments control at regular intervals in
order to detect in time possible anomalies.
• If an instrument or warning light signals an anomaly, immediately switch off the
engine and carry out the necessary operations.

4.20 ADVANCING

Select the steering type


To select the desired steering type, place the selector in the following mode:
• Pos. A = wheels in transversal position (“crab” steering)
• Pos. B = front wheel drive only
• Pos. C = front and back wheel drive (circle steering).

Page 53
TELESCOPIC ELEVATOR OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
MOD. FH 10 - 14 - 17

Straighten the rear wheels


• With the machine at standstill, proceed as follows:
• Take the selector to position A.
• Straighten the rear wheels.
• Take the selector to position B
• Straighten the front wheels.
Front and rear wheel alignment is signalled by the lighting up of the relative
warning lights on the right dashboard.

Selecting drive speed


Turn the lever knob clockwise or anticlockwise to select the first (I) or second
(II) speed.
The central neutral position (N) is that which ignites the engine.
The lever controls do not operate when:
□ the parking brake is engaged.
□ the operator is not sat in the driver seat.

Forward drive
Pull the lever towards the steering wheel and move it forwards to enable forward
drive of the machine (F).

Reverse gear
Pull the lever towards the steering wheel and then back to enable reversing of the
machine (R).

It is dangerous to change the driving direction when the machine is


moving at high speed; the machine suddenly inverts the driving
direction; before changing direction, allow the machine and the engine to
reduce speed to a minimum.

When reverse is selected an acoustic signal sounds to indicate the risk


of danger to people present in the manoeuvring area.

4.21 ARRANGEMENT FOR DRIVING ON ROAD AT 40 KM/H

To arrange the machine for driving on road at 40 km/h, switching from "worksite"
mode to "road" mode, carry out the following operations:
1. Lower and fully retract the boom: the value of H viewed in the display must be
lower/equal to 1 m, whilst the L value must be null.
2. Retract and fully lift the outriggers.
3. Position the key selector centrally (road mode).
4. Position the gear shift lever in neutral (N) and press the service brake pedal.
5. By keeping the devio in neutral position and the brake pedal pressed, activate
the mechanical gear insertion button (5); verify that when changing the gear, the
warning light (6) switches off and on (this indicates that the new gear has been
inserted).

Page 54
TELESCOPIC ELEVATOR OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
MOD. FH 10 - 14 - 17

At this point the road mode is set with the second mechanical gear inserted (40
km/h). All the functions of the boom are deactivated for safety. In road
mode, you can also travel with a reduced mechanical speed (to face
climbs): To do so, the gear shift lever must be put in neutral, push the
service brake pedal, press the gear change button and ensure that the
gear warning light is inserted.
! It is advised to pay particular attention in limiting vehicle speed on
downward routes, to a value not higher than that indicated in the
"Understanding the machine" chapter, by acting on the service brakes.
To turn back to the worksite mode, it is sufficient to insert the reduced
gear and set the selector in worksite mode.

Attention: if the selector is set on the worksite mode without


inserting the mechanical gear before, the translation is
inhibited.

4.22 USING THE PEDALS

Accelerator
The machine is at a stop with the engine running at a minimum.
Gradually apply pressure to the gas pedal to start driving.
Push pedal (1) to increase the engine speed, release it to reduce
speed.
When the engine is running at a minimum, the machine gradually
slows down and stops.

Service brakes
Push pedal (2) to slow down or stop the machine. The action is
transmitted directly to the brakes located inside the front and rear
differential bridges.
! Do not drive using the gas and brake pedals at the same time.

"Inching"
The inching pedal is an integral part of the brake pedal.
It acts in the first part of the brake pedals course allowing slow and precise move-
ments with the machine even with the engine at full speed.

Attention: pushing the pedal too far causes the machine to stop because
it activates the brake.

4.23 ATTACHING THE ACCESSORIES

The attachment methods described below apply to all


approved accessories
.

• Slowly approach the machine with the accessory tilting forward


the accessories holder.

• Slowly lift the boom and attach the accessory.

• Tilt backwards the accessories holder so that the main struc-


ture of the accessory rests against the accessories holder.

• Lift locking rod (1) and insert the connection pin.

• Perform this operation also on the other side.

• Work carried out correctly.

Page 56
TELESCOPIC ELEVATOR OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
MOD. FH 10 - 14 - 17

4.24 HYDRAULIC ATTACHMENT DEVICE (OPTIONAL

If this optional device is available, the position locking of the


accessory is guaranteed by a pin inserted by a hydraulic cylin-
der controlled by a joystick.
The cylinder is powered by connecting a feeding tube into the
pressure socket located at the end of the telescopic boom
(see following paragraph).
Once the accessory is attached, if required the powering tube
can be connected by hand to the socket.

Attachment
• Connect the power tube to socket A1.
• Attach and lift the accessory as described in the previous
paragraph.
• Tilt backwards the support until the accessory rests by ef-
fect of its weight.
• Use the joystick to command the exit of the pins that at-
tach the accessory.

Release
• Lift the accessory.
• Tilt it forwards.
• Use the joystick to retract the pins. As a result of gravity,
the accessory will disconnect from the support.
• Straighten the support and place the accessory on the
ground. Unhook it.

Page 57
TELESCOPIC ELEVATOR OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
MOD. FH 10 - 14 - 17

4.25 ACCESSORIES WITH PRESSURISED OIL FUNCTIONS

For all accessories that require hydraulic power, two quick pressure attachments are
foreseen at the end of the telescopic boom.
The quick attachments are "push - pull" types.
To avoid leakage of high pressure oil, never connect or disconnect
when the circuit is in pressure.

Connection
Without using the joystick, push the male connector into the female connector.
Disconnection
Without using the joystick, push the male connector towards the exterior.
Activation
Work is controlled by the movements of the joystick from the driver seat.

When not in use, the pressure sockets must be kept closed with
their rubber protections.

TELESCOPIC ELEVATOR OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
MOD. FH 10 - 14 - 17

4.26 MOVING A LOAD

Load weight and centre of gravity


• Never lift or transport a load that exceeds the nominal capacities of the machine
or the accessory.
• Before lifting the load, check its weight and its centre of gravity.
• The machine load diagram is referred to the lifting of one load with the forks
whose centre of gravity is 500 mm from the end of the forks. In the case the load
to be lifted has a centre of gravity greater than such value, contact the manufac-
turer for further information.
• If the load for its nature has a mobile centre of gravity, for example a liquid,
movements must be carried out with precaution because it is not possible to de-
termine a precise rule.
• Act according to your experience or ask for guidance. If you are not sure, do not
perform the transportation.

Lifting a load without a pallet


To perform this operation successfully, it is likely that the load will have
to be wedged.
• Slightly lift the boom and tilt forwards the forks.
• Slowly advance in order to insert the forks under the load above its
barycentre.
• Tilt the forks backwards to move or roll the load to the base of the forks.
• Using the level, make sure the machine is level using the hydraulic control.
• Remember that other factors could affect the horizontal position of the machine
such as:
□ tyre pressure;
□ ground stability;
□ the load stability and barycentre;
□ wind speed.
Before operating, take into consideration the above points.

How to check the correct functioning of the anti roll-over device


• Apply the forks to the accessories holder
• Select a load for which the precise weight is known.
• Position the machine along the load axle, making sure it is levelled and aligned
to the wheels.
• Lift the load making sure that the barycentre is at a distance of D=500 mm.
• Lift the load to a height of 500 mm from the ground.
• Extend the boom until the anti roll over device intervenes.
• Read the last letter disclosed on the boom side.
• Verify the read value corresponds to the value indicated on the load
diagram present in the cabin.
The tolerance is +- 400 mm in relation to the diagram indications.

Page 59
TELESCOPIC ELEVATOR OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
MOD. FH 10 - 14 - 17

Lifting a known weight


If the weight to be lifted is unknown, proceed as follows:
• lift the load to a height of 30 cm from the ground;
• extend the boom until the anti roll-over device intervenes;
• note the last letter (1) indicated on the side of the telescopic boom;
• fully retract the boom and lift referring to the load diagram corresponding to the let-
ter noted.

IT IS COMPULSORY TO LEVEL THE MACHINE BY BRINGING THE FRAME


INTO PERFECT HORIZONTALITY BY ADJUSTING THE LEVELLING FUNC-
TION WHEN THE MACHINE IS ON WHEELS OR USING THE OUTRIGGERS
WHEN THEY ARE IN USE.
HORIZONTALITY CAN BE CHECKED USING THE SPIRIT LEVEL IN THE CA-
BIN.
IT IS FORBIDDEN TO ELEVATE LOADS OR THE PEOPLE CARRIER BASKET
WHEN THE MACHINE IS NOT LEVELLED.

THIS PROHIBITED ACTION IS HIGHLIGHTED IN THE FIGURE ON THE SIDE


BY THE "LOAD DIAGRAM" LOCATED ON THE WINDOW TO THE RIGHT OF
THE DRIVER.

TELESCOPIC ELEVATOR OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
MOD. FH 10 - 14 - 17

4.27 HOW TO READ THE LOADING DIAGRAM

The loading diagram represents the weight in kg applied to the forks that the machine is ca-
pable of lifting based on the boom extension.

grid

extension

Kinematic
motion

Using a grid, comprised of horizontal and vertical lines at 1 m intervals, it is possible to read
the height and distance of a load, horizontally, from the front of the front wheel.

Page 61
TELESCOPIC ELEVATOR OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
MOD. FH 10 - 14 - 17

The kinetic motion is also provided in addition to the grid, comprised of a series of arcs
(identified by letters A, B, C...etc) at a distance of 0.5 m from each other, representing the
boom extension, and a series of lines that represent the boom angle.

To determine the size of an unknown load that needs to be lifted, it must be lifted approx-
imately 300 mm off the ground, and the boom needs to be extended at a point where the
anti roll system is not triggered. By reading the letter that falls outside of the boom exten-
sion, it is possible to find the weight of the relative load by following the curve of kinematic
motion until it intersects with angle 0°.

The load reading on the diagram will be the weight that the boom is lifting at that time.

4.28 TOWING THE MACHINE

Parking brake release (before disassembly)

Equipment:

- 8 mm hex wrench.

- 3/8” + 3” extension reversible ratchet wrench.

Emergency procedures:

Attention: IMMOBILISE THE WHEELS. Failure to do so can be


very dangerous or mortal for the operator: in fact, the vehicle
could move on its own.

Immobilise all four wheels to stop the vehicle from moving once
the brake has been released.

To disable the parking brakes it is necessary to use an 8 mm Al-


len wrench.

Mark the head of the screws to count the number of times each
screw needs to be turned during the procedure.

Lie down under the axle and identify the six release screws
(three for each side) at the base of the axle.

Screw the brake release screws in alternately by a 1/2 turn


clockwise (1), (2) and (3) until you begin to feel a certain amount of resistance. (Ap-
proximately 5 ÷ 5.5 turns).

Move out from under the vehicle and have all staff not directly involved in the opera-
tions leave the surrounding area.

Carefully remove the blocking wedges from the four wheels and drag the vehicle to a
safe place.

Block the four wheels again and continue performing the necessary operations.

Re-engaging the parking brake

Attention: IMMOBILISE THE FOUR WHEELS. Failure to do so can be very dan-


gerous or mortal for the operator: in fact, the vehicle could move on its own.

Page 63
TELESCOPIC ELEVATOR OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
MOD. FH 10 - 14 - 17

Immobilise all four wheels, lie down under the axle and, using the dynamometer
wrench unscrew alternate release screws (1), (2) and (3) (counter-clockwise) by a
1/2 turn.

Once again, unscrew screws (1), (2) and (3) alternately by a 1/2 turn until the torque
suddenly slackens.

Continue unscrewing screws (1), (2) and (3) alternately until you feel the head of the
screw touching the special screw.

Then, screw the screws (1), (2) and (3) back in, in the opposite direction, by a 1/4
turn. At this point the parking brakes are working again and the front wheels are im-
mobilised.

Then, remove the wedges from the four wheels. Make sure the parking brake is
working properly.

Take down the danger or warning signs from the steering wheel and the ignition key.

RESIDUAL RISKS

WHEN PARKING THE MACHINE

If parking the machine on a surface pending more than 15%, the wedges must be
placed in front of the wheels. In these conditions the parking brake cannot guarantee
a sufficient braking torque.

PREVENTION

5.01 GENERAL

• Park the machine on level ground.


• The work area must be clean and dry.
• Maintenance, repair and adjustment operations must be carried out by qualified
and capable staff with the machine switched off.
• It is forbidden to carry out maintenance when the machine is moving.
• Interval times indicated in this manual must be respected. Damaged or worn
parts must be immediately repaired or replaced.
• Keep the machine clean and remove the grease storage or oil deposits.
• Isolate the battery if arc welding is to be carried out on the machine or work to
be performed on the electrical system.
• Do not carry out welding interventions on the machine in case of serious break-
ages, contact the FARESIN INDUSTRIES SERVICE.
• Wear protective glasses and mask when using compressed air for cleaning. Do
not direct the jet towards the skin or the eyes.
• Use gloves and glasses when handling detergent liquids and/or lubricants.
• After maintenance and before enabling the machine, make sure the safety de-
vices removed have been replaced.
• If the machine must be lifted, make sure it is supported on a solid and safe
base.
• When operating under mobile lifted parts (e.g. telescopic boom), block the hy-
draulic cylinder movements with the spacers and rest them on top of safe and
strong supports.

5.02 AVOID SCALDING

Jets of hot fluids


After switching off the engine, its mass remains very hot for a time depending on
room temperature.
To avoid the discharge of jets of fluid and hot vapour, do not remove the radiator cap
until the engine is cold. To open unscrew the cap until it stops and lift it.
Fluids and hot surfaces
The engine oil, the reducers and the hydraulic system heat up when using the ma-
chine.
Before touching the machine and its hydraulic circuit components, wait for the tem-
perature level to lower to room temperature.

Page 66
TELESCOPIC ELEVATOR OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
MOD. FH 10 - 14 - 17

5.03 PAY ATTENTION TO THE PRESSURISED FLUIDS

Splashes of fuel or hydraulic oil can penetrate the skin or enter eyes
with serious consequences.
Unload the pressure of the circuits before disconnecting the pipes.
Before starting up the engine, make sure that all connections are cor-
rectly closed.
Searching for possible loss of liquids is carried out using a piece of
cardboard as described. Protect eyes using a facial mask or glasses.
In case of injury caused by oil or fuel, immediately seek medical help to
remove all traces and prevent infection.

PAY ATTENTION TO THE EXHAUST FUMES


Engine exhaust fumes are toxic and can cause damage to one's health.
When operating in closed environments, make sure there is enough air
and fit the machine with suitable purifiers.

5.04 HANDLE THE BATTERY WITH CARE

Gas produced by the chemical elements contained in the battery may explode with
consequent discharging of corrosive liquid splashes.
• Wear a facial mask and glasses.
• Keep the battery away from open flames or sparks.
• Charge the battery when the temperature is less than 15-16°C otherwise there
is the risk of explosion.
• Check the charging of the battery with a voltmeter or a densimeter.
Start up by means of an external battery.
• When starting up the battery by means of an external battery, follow the proce-
dure indicated below in this chapter. An incorrect procedure could damage the
electronic control central units provoking the explosion of the batteries and the
sudden moving of the machine.
• Two people are required for safe operation, one of whom must always remain
seated in the driver seat.
• Do not leave remaining batteries in very cold environments.

The gas of the batteries could explode causing serious damage (see
below, in this chapter, for further information)

5.05 IN CASE OF FIRE

• If there is enough time, stop the engine by turning the ignition key.
• Move away from the machine.
• Attempt to put the fire out only if an adequate and efficient extinguisher is avail-
able.

Page 67
TELESCOPIC ELEVATOR OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
MOD. FH 10 - 14 - 17

5.06 MAINTENANCE WITH THE ENGINE OFF

• Run the engine at a minimum without a load for about 1 minute to enable the
lowering and balancing of its temperature.
• Switch off the engine turning the ignition key to the "stop" position (0).
• Remove the ignition key.
• Unload the residual pressure of the hydraulic system acting repeatedly on the
hydraulic distributor levers.
• Apply a warning note with "Maintenance in course" written on it to the cabin door
and its hydraulic controls.
• Wait for the engine to reach room temperature.

5.07 RESPECT THE ENVIRONMENT

The materials used for the machine are a threat to the environment if not disposed of
correctly. The lubricants, fuels, refrigerants and battery are considered potentially
dangerous waste.
Do not throw these materials on the ground, down the drains or in waterways but
dispose of them according to local legislation.

5.08 INTERVENTION REGISTRATION CARDS

Ordinary maintenance operations are described on the following card. They are nec-
essary to maintain the machine efficient in time.
Maintenance is divided per argument such as, for example, engine, power system
etc.
Each one is resumed in the following paragraphs where, aided by photographs and
texts, the correct maintenance procedure is explained.
The controls and filling in of the cards must be performed by the person responsible
for doing so. The completed cards must be kept by the operator inside the machine
and made public at inspections by controlling bodies.
The operations indicated with the letter "X", must be carried out by your Faresin In-
dustries dealer.

Check the radiator water level


The level of refrigerant liquid must always be at approximately
half of the expansion container. The radiator is topped up directly

Refill only when the engine temperature is below


50°C to prevent discharging of liquids under
pressure and/or scalding from the engine parts.

Check that the radiator is clean


Periodically clean the radiator grill with a soft brush (1) to guarantee
the efficiency of the cooling system.

Check the hydraulic oil level


To check the level of the hydraulic oil, inspect the level indicator lo-
cated on the left side of the machine, corresponding to the oil tank.
The oil level must not go below the line indicated in the figure (ap-
proximately. 2/3); the top up is carried out using the cap (3).

Check for leaks in the hydraulic system pipes


Make sure the hydraulic plant has no leaks.
If this is the case, check the cause of the loss, identify the leakage
point and check the torque of the connections and pipes.

Wheels

Check the tightening of the nuts of the four wheels (torque 300 Nm).
Furthermore, check the tyre pressure that must be equal to 4.5 bar.
