OPERATOR'S MANUAL

FOREWORD

USE OF THE MANUAL

This document is the “Operation & Maintenance Manual”.

It is an essential part of the supply and shall be properly kept and always made
available to the staff involved in operation and maintenance activities.

The text is written with the aim to help the staff involved in operation and maintenance
activities and contains instructions, information and all necessary recommendations
for keeping the truck in safe and efficient conditions.

Before the truck is put into service, the User is required to read all the sections of this
manual carefully, to ensure that it also read by all the persons assigned to the
operation or maintenance of the truck, and to ensure that it is always readily available
for reference.

It should be made clear that no machine can withstand misuse and negligence,
therefore it is recommended that the instructions described in this manual be strictly
followed.

In order to make the maintenance section more fluent, some basic concepts have
been omitted, that should be familiar to people having average experience on the
matter.

This manual is based on the state of technology at the time of truck sale, therefore
it cannot be considered inadequate on the basis of more recent technical knowledge
and solutions at the moment of truck commissioning.

This manual is the property of Fantuzzi-Reggiane S.p.A. and may not be reproduced
totally or partially nor may it be transmitted to a third party without the written
permission of Fantuzzi-Reggiane S.p.A.

The manual and the relevant technical documentation complies with European
Standards and Codes on machines, according to directive 98/37/CE.

Introduction

OPERATOR’S RESPONSIBILITIES

Safety must always be the first priority of the operator.
He must always refrain from operating the truck on detecting any condition which
might jeopardise safety, inform his superior and take suitable action to remove the
cause of the condition.

He must know how to consult the load capacities chart and, before attempting to lift
each load, he must be certain that the truck can lift it safely.

He must be alert, physically fit and must not be under the influence of alcohol, drugs
or medication which could affect his eyesight, hearing or reflexes.

When visibility does not allow optimum control of the operations, or when working in
hazardous areas (presence of electric lines, pipes, people, etc.), the operator must
deploy a signaller.

The operator must only follow the signals given by the designated signaller.

The operator must, however, at all times obey any signal to stop given by anyone
working on the site.

WARRANTY

Fantuzzi-Reggiane S.p.A. guarantees the machine against defects, as well as the
materials supplied and their putting into service and calibration in accordance with
the time schedule and methods agreed at the time of purchase.

The warranty does not cover damage sustained as a result of accidental breakage,
tampering, negligence and carelessness on the part of the User, or unauthorised
modifications to the machine or any operations prohibited by this manual.

AFTER-SALES SERVICE

The User is required to inform Fantuzzi-Reggiane S.p.A. and receive approval prior
to replacing any parts or carrying out any modifications.

We recommend that only original replacement parts are used.

Fantuzzi-Reggiane S.p.A. is always available for assistance, routine or major
servicing, advice on maintenance of the truck and for clarification of any of the
information contained in or omitted from this manual.

OP00.0011 i - 5

Introduction

DISMANTLING AND SCRAPPING THE TRUCK

As the truck is a complex machine with some very large and heavy components,
dismantling and scrapping should only be entrusted to specialised personnel.

We therefore recommend to contact Fantuzzi-Reggiane S.p.A. for assistance in
dismantling operations.

PRODUCT DISPOSAL

All products used during the course of maintenance, repair and part replacement
operations (e.g. oil, grease, batteries) are to be disposed of in accordance with the
specific legal requirements for each type of product.

FIRST AID

Call a doctor immediately in all cases of serious injury.

After administering first aid, send the patient to a doctor.

Never attempt any medical procedures of which you are unsure as this could harm
the patient.

Remove the patient from the harmful environment.

Put the patient in the best possible conditions for rest; loosen clothing, collar, belt
and, if necessary, cover with a blanket

Never give any drink to someone who is unconscious.

Before touching any wounds, wash your hands with soap and water and, if possible,
disinfect them.

Disinfect any wounds, if you know how to do this correctly. Otherwise, cover with
sterile gauze and apply pressure with a cotton wool wad impregnated with alcohol
and a tight bandage.

In the case of heavy bleeding from an arm or leg, apply a tourniquet above the wound
and take the patient to the nearest accident unit.

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING BRAKING

SMT.0014.E00

A variable distance is required to stop the machine, depending on the load and
speed.

Although it may be possible to stop an automobile traveling at 5 M.P.H. (8 K.P.H.) in
just a few feet, a train traveling at the same speed requires a much greater distance
to stop because of its additional weight and inertia. Likewise, a machine also requires
a greater stopping distance. The machine’s inertial force results from its speed and
weight. This force will influence how quickly a machine can be stopped just like any
other vehicle. Because of the machine’s gross weight, it cannot be stopped instantly.

Seeing that the machine cannot be stopped instantly be sure to allow ample
stopping distance when driving to avoid collisions.

CAUTION!

Hanging loads across passageways and work stations

Manoeuvres for lifting and transporting loads should be arranged so as to avoid hanging
loads passing over workers and anywhere that could be dangerous should the load

fall.

If this cannot be avoided, warnings must be given well in advance before lifting or

transporting loads so that, if practically possible, anyone who could be exposed to the

dangers of a possibly falling load has plenty of time to move out of the area.

The range of action of the lifting and transporting means, tted with electromagnets,

suction pads and clamps for gripping the load, must be cordoned off with barriers or,

wherever this is impossible because there is not enough room, all the necessary safety
precautions must be taken to ensure the safety of all personnel.

SAFETY BY-PASS KEYS

WARNING

Keep the safety by-pass keys in a safe place. To use these, the
approval is required of the person in charge of the machine, who can
only use the key after finding the cause and possible remedy.
In case of faults being found, repairs must be made as quickly as
possible.

Function:

These keys operate switches in the cab and in the electrical compartment. The switches
interrupt the safety signals in order to finish handling a load or to fasten onto damaged
containers which would not tell the sensors to perform the operation.

Use:

To use the by-pass keys in the electrical compartment, the following two people are
required:

- One operator in the cab, to operate the controls

- One operator near the electrical compartment, to use the bypass keys.

Safety System by-pass key (in cab)

Function:

To restore functions of the telescopic boom movement.

Use:

In case of anti overtipping device malfunctioning, the same would inhibit boom
functions. Use the key to restore boom functions back to safe conditions.

SMT.1382.E00

Lifting by-pass key (in the electrical compartment)
Function:

Restores arm and twistlock lifting function in case of a twistlock sensor fault.

Use:

1- In the event of a container being handled and of a fault occurring to the “twistlock

locked-on” indicator sensor (green light on on the spreader and in the cab), this would
cause arm movement to stop immediately, except for re-entry movement. To
temporarily bypass the safety devices and terminate the operation, use the key.
Afterwards look for the fault and reset the sensors to return the machine to safety
condition.

2 - Use the key in the case of containers with damaged hook-on corner points.

This condition does not permit the sensors to complete twistlock hook-on rotation and

permission to lift is therefore denied.
For safety reasons, always repair the damaged corner hook-on housings of the
containers.

4 - 14 OP04.0264

Operator’s Manual

Section 4 - Operator’s controls

Drop-stop by-pass key (in electrical compartment)
Function:

Restores arm downward movement function.

Use:

In the event of the container being damaged near the corner hook-on points or of faulty
proximity sensors, arm downward movement would be stopped to prevent damage to the
spreader and container.
Temporarily operate the bypass key to lower the arm and terminate the operation.
In the case of damaged sensors, repair these as quickly as possible and return the
machine to safety condition.

Leg opening by-pass key (in the electrical compartment and only for piggy-back
spreader)
Function:

This permits opening the legs of the piggy-back even without the approval of the
“supported container” sensors.

Use:

If a “supported container” sensor is damaged, permission to open the legs would be
denied even in the case of a supported container.
Use the key to release the container only once the container is perfectly supported.
Afterwards look for the fault and reset the sensors to return the machine to safety
condition.

Twistlock by-pass key (in cab)
Function:

This permits hook-on function even without the permission of the sensors that control
correct spreader position on the container.

Use:

In the event of the container being damaged near the corner hooks or of a fault occurring
on the “correct twistlock position” sensors, permission would not be given to fasten onto
the container.
Use the key to fasten onto the container once the spreader has been correctly positioned.
In the case of damaged container hook-on points or sensors, repair these as quickly as
possible and return the machine to safety condition.

GEAR SELECTOR

Important: a safety device prevents the motor from being started unless the gear

switch is in neutral position. Before engaging the forward or reverse gear, make sure
the lever is in 1st gear position.

The truck features an automatic gear change, but can also operate in manual mode by
means of the transmission bypass key (see key paragraph).

Manual operation:

To engage 1st to 4th gears, turn the lever as shown in fig.1, while to drop from 4th to 1st,
turn the lever in the opposite direction.
Every click completed in turning the lever corresponds to a gear change.
The gear switch is in neutral position when it is configured as shown in fig.2
Move the switch as shown in fig.3 to engage the forward gear.
Move the switch as in fig. 4 to engage reverse gear.

Automatic operation:

Operation in this mode is similar to manual mode. The difference is that after having
engaged the forward or reverse gears, there is no need to turn the lever to change gear.
The number of gears the gear unit can engage automatically depends on the position of
the gear switch.
Example:
If the switch is turned in second gear, the gears engaged automatically will be 1st and
2nd, while the 3rd and 4th gears will not engage.

TRASLAZIONI

General information

The operator must comply with the highway code including the speed limits on the road
and on the worksite.
He/she must be able to clearly see the route and any traffic, personnel. Always
maintain safety distances.
The machine must always be kept under control and operated in a responsible manner.
Avoid sudden starts and stops and changes of direction at high speed.
The lifting unit and load must stay lowered so as to ensure full visibility for the operator.
The load must only be lifted during stacking.
In case of bad visibility or stacking difficulties, drive cautiously, using auxiliary means or
the assistance of adequately trained ground personnel.
Near crossroads and other points where visibility is low, reduce speed and indicate
presence by means of the horn.
Operate the steering and brake controls smoothly and moderately when handling high
loads.
Do not overtake other vehicles moving in the same direction near crossroads, points
where visibility is bad or hazardous areas.
The operator should not drive over objects that could damage tyres or the machine.
Indicate changes of direction using the direction indicators near other vehicles or
pedestrians.

Speed

SMT.0168.E01

The speed must be adapted to the presence of personnel in the area, visibility,
surface and load. Particular care must be taken on wet and slippery surfaces, such
as snow or ice. Under all conditions, the vehicle must be operated at a speed enabling
it to be brought to a stop in a safe manner.

SMT.0168.E01

Operating on gradients (slopes)

SMT.0169.E01

When operating on slopes, the following rules shall be observed:

1. The machine must move up and down slopes slowly.

2. Do not turn the machine on slopes, nor drive across slopes.

4. The load must be facing uphill when driving up or down gradients of over 10%.

STEERING

SMT.0171.E01

The machine is steered by turning the steering wheel in the direction that you want
the machine to go. The steering wheel opens and closes a valve to provide hydraulic
power to turn the steering wheels. There is no mechanical linkage between the
steering wheel and the steering system linkage.
Do not continue turning the wheel after reaching the turning limit so as not to cause
overheating of steering components.
Do not turn the steering wheel from one turning limit to another with the machine at
a standstill to prevent wear of tyres and floor.

To help maintain machine stability and to prevent possible tipping, do not steer
sharply, especially:

a. While traveling at higher speeds.
b. With spreader elevated to mid-point or above.
c. On uneven terrain.

LOAD HANDLING

IMPORTANT:

Always remain within sight and communication with personnel on the ground.
Do not lift submerged loads as water and mud increase weight.
Make sure frost has not secured the load to the ground.
Do not use the machine to push or pull loads.
Make sure that during operations, the load and machine do not knock against any
obstacle.

Lifting unit controls

The control functions of the lifting unit are described in detail in Section 4 of this
manual. The following safety functions will help the operator to safely handle the
container.

• Special sensors (position sensors) feature on each twistlock and send signals to
the electronic control system to confirm that the twistlocks have been correctly
positioned in the container corner hook-on housing.

• If this condition is satisfied, the yellow indicator light comes on and twistlock fast­on can start.

• When all the twistlocks have been correctly fastened, the green light comes on
and lifting can begin.

• Before releasing the twistlocks, the container must be rested on a sturdy and
stable support surface.

• If properly supported, the yellow light comes on to indicate that the twistlocks can
be released.

• To confirm all the twistlocks have been released, the red light comes on.

• In the event of a fault, the electronic control system prevents raising the lifting unit.

Procedure for picking up a stacked container

NOTE: Drive carefully when transporting loads. Avoid sudden braking and changes of

direction.

1. Move slowly up to the stack of containers

2. Position the spreader above the container to be picked up, making sure this is centred
with respect to the container.

3. Lower the spreader so the twistlocks correctly enter the container corner hook-on
housings.

4. If the twistlocks have entered properly, the yellow light comes on and the next
operation can be performed. Otherwise, lift the spreader and repeat operation no. 3.

5. Hook on the twistlocks. If this operation is done correctly, the green light comes on
and the next operation can be performed. Otherwise, release the twistlocks, slowly
raise the spreader and repeat the operations from point 3.

6. Slowly lift the container.

7. Back the truck up slowly without turning the wheels.

8. Lower the spreader, being careful not to collide with obstacles.
