When the display shows indications other than those

the hands on the steering wheel and by pressing the
pedal (2, Figure 4-2).
The speed of moving is adjustable from zero to its
maximum set value, depending on the pressure

consents use of the machine only when the

It is absolutely forbidden to try to mishandle
the above-mentioned seat safety system, or
simulate in any way seating of the operator
on the seat.
ATTENTION!
The machine is not suitable to be used on
ruined, uneven floors.
ATTENTION!
Do not leave the machine unattended without
ascertaining that it does not move
autonomously.
