6.4.7 T RAVEL
The MEWP is a self‑propelled machine able to easily move on any type of ground, over steep
slopes (up to 21°) and, considering the small dimensions, to enter narrow openings. One con‑
dition for travel is that the four stabilisers are lifted from the ground and the machine is in
the transport or stabilisation configuration.
Travel can only be controlled from the position on the ground, always keeping a minimum
distance of 1 metre from the machine during ALL control operations.
When controlling the machine, before travelling make sure that the control position guaran‑
tees a perfect view of the entire machine and EVERY obstacle that may be in the machine’s
trajectory.
If a very precise control of travel movements is required, the motor speed can be reduced by
means of the speed selector button on the remote control.
Pay attention to the overall dimensions of the machine, especially if the stabilisers are not
turned to the transport position.
It is prohibited to get on or off the basket if this is not completely lowered.
The machines are not type‑approved for road travel. The work and travel areas
must be appropriately cordoned off and warning signs displayed according to the
relevant laws in force. The machine must be loaded onto type‑approved vehicles for
transport on public roads.
‑ During control operations, always keep a minimum distance of 1 metre from the machi‑
ne.
‑ It is recommended to travel on flat surfaces with the stabilisers completely lifted and set
in the transport position, so as to reduce the overall dimensions of the machine.
Travel is only allowed with carriage extended to the maximum width whenever possible
in the place of travel. This makes steering easier and increases machine stability.
‑ The 2nd travel speed can only be used for travelling in a straight line on solid and
level ground.
