BEFORE STARTING THE MACHINE FOR THE FIRST TIME, THE OPERA-
TOR MUST CAREFULLY READ THIS MANUAL TO ENSURE HE OR SHE
FULLY UNDERSTANDS HOW THE TELEHANDLER WORKS AND TO
ENSURE HE OR SHE IS ADEQUATELY PREPARED TO USE IT.
ANY USE OTHER THAN THOSE DESCRIBED IN THIS MANUAL IS

STRICTLY FORBIDDEN AND DIECI SHALL NOT BE HELD LIABLE FOR
ANY DAMAGE TO PEOPLE, OBJECTS OR ANIMALS.
WHILE USING THE MACHINE, STRICTLY OBSERVE THE RESPECTIVE

DIAGRAMS OF THE ASSEMBLED ATTACHMENT.
A/2
INTRODUCTION
The aim of this manual is to provide the operator with instructions

for efficient and safe use and maintenance of the telehandler.
Following these instructions carefully will allow you to obtain

full efficiency and a long working life from your machine, and
will help to make your work considerably easier.
Furthermore, this Use and Maintenance manual is supplied

to you directly by the Dealer upon delivery of the machi- LEFT SIDE
ne, to ensure you understand all the instructions correctly.
However, should you have trouble understanding any part
of this manual, do not hesitate to contact your nearest De-
aler for clarification, as it is of utmost importance that the
operation and maintenance guidelines are fully understood
and carefully observed. Routine maintenance should be car-
ried out regularly. Keep a record of machine working hours.
When spare parts are required, always use original spare

parts. These can be supplied by your local Dealer who can
also provide advice and instructions for their installation and
use. The use of non-original spare parts may cause damage
to other parts of the machine; we therefore advise our cu-
stomers to purchase any spare parts required only from an
authorised Agent or Dealer.
Should the machine be destined for use in particularly se- RIGHT SIDE
vere conditions (for example in very dusty environments or e
sites, or on very clayey or muddy terrain), we advise consul-

ting your nearest dealer for specific instructions. Failure to
observe these instructions may void the machine guarantee.
This manual has been published for worldwide distribution

and the availability of certain equipment referred to from
time to time as being essential or available on request may
vary according to where the machine is being used. You can
obtain all necessary details about the equipment available in
your area from your nearest Distributor or Dealer.
Due to manufacturing demands, machines from the

standard production range may differ slightly from tho-
se mentioned in this manual. The company reserves the
right to make modifications without notice. FRONT VIEW
Because we continually introduce technical improve-

ments and bearing in mind updating and publication
times, the data in this manual may be changed at any
time and therefore should not be considered binding.
In some of the illustrations, panels or guards have been

removed in order to provide a clearer view. Never use
the machine without these panels or guards.
The left and right sides of the machine as referred to in

this manual are to be considered looking at the truck
from the back towards the front, or from the position of
the operator in the driver's seat.

Emergency call
The good result of an emergency intervention also depends

on how quickly 118 (Italian emergency medical support) ma-

This is why the first-aider in charge of calling the emergency
must precisely indicate;
- the address of where the accident or illness took place;
- the number of injured or ill parties;
- the possible cause of the event;
- the state of the vital functions of the injured party, speci-
fying whether the same is conscious or not and if brea-
thing normally or not.
It is always opportune to also give:

- own details, a telephone number where to be contacted;
- await the aiders in an easily visible place.
Traumas
Distortion, dislocations and fractures treatment:

it is necessary to block the articulation in the position it is in
after the trauma, using bandages or other, supporting the
analgesic position of the injured party, without attempting dan-
gerous manoeuvres. Apply ice (with ice bag or other means).
Contusions, crushing:
in case of contusions and/or crushing to upper and lower
limbs (fingers, hand, feet, etc.) immediately place the limb
under cold running water and place ice on it, also checking
for wounds and/or cuts. If so, disinfect the affected area.

ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE
- If supplementary equipment is installed by the client, the

user must verify if the installation causes any type of in-
terference with vehicle’s instruments.
If this is the case, the user must eliminate this interference.
It is important to pay careful attention to mobile attachments

such as radio communications (telephones) which must be
installed by specialised technicians and used with externally
mounted antennas.
In general, all additional electrical equipment installed must

comply with EMC Directive EC/2004/108 and must carry the
"CE" marking.
VIBRATIONS
Take into consideration the following precautions to reduce

the operator’s exposure to vibrations:

- Always use equipment that is appropriate for the type of
work being performed.
- The driver's seat must be properly adjusted.. In-

spect and, if necessary, repair seat suspensions and
adjustment mechanisms.
- Make sure that the vehicle is kept in good condition, fol-

low vehicle maintenance schedule as described in this
manual.
- Steer, accelerate, brake, change gears, move attach-

ments slowly.
- While driving, adjust vehicle speed to minimise the vi-

bration level. Reduce speed to prevent risk of jolting.
Transport the vehicle if the distance between work sites
is significant.
- Keep the work site in good condition, remove rocks and

obstacles, fill-in depressions or holes, etc.
- To avoid back problems, use the vehicle only if in good

health conditions. The operator should take periodic
breaks to reduce the amount of time spent seated in
the same position. Never jump down from the cab or the
vehicle. Avoid repeatedly handling and lifting loads.
B/18
NOISE
The machine has been designed and realised to reduce the

sound emission level at the origin.
The detected acoustic power data is equal to 104 dB LwA
with reference to Outdoor Noise Directive EC/2000/14
Sources emissions in the environment of equipment and
machines working outdoors.
- ATTENTION -
THE GIVEN NOISE VALUES ARE EMISSION LEVELS
AND DO NOT NECESSARILY REPRESENT SAFE
OPERATIONAL LEVELS.
The factors determining the level of exposure to which the

work force is subjected, include the duration of exposure,
the work areas and other eventual sources of noise (diffe-
rent manufacturing and equipment, background noise, etc.);
furthermore, the admitted levels of exposure can vary from
country to country.
During manufacturing, the users must use suitable Individual

Protection Devices as indicated in the dedicated paragraph.
B/19
PERFORMING MAINTENANCE WORK SAFELY
- Do not leave tools or other instruments laying around in

a disorderly fashion at the work site. Clean traces of gre-
ase, oil and other substances that could cause slipping.
Always keep the work site clean and organised in order
to guarantee safe operation of the vehicle. .
- Always deposit cloths soaked with grease and/or inflam-
mable materials in a safe container to ensure safety at
the work site.
- Only use attachments that are appropriate for the job
and ensure their proper use. The use of damaged, de-
fective, unsuitable and poor quality equipment may cau-
se serious injury.
- Do not hit the vehicle or its parts with a hammer or any
other instrument, as projected fragments could cause
injury.
- If inspection or maintenance is carried out on vehicles
which are still covered with mud, oil, etc., operators risk
sliding or falling and the analysis of components is made
more difficult. Carefully clean the vehicle before repair or
maintenance work is carried out.
Before performing maintenance work on your vehicle, do

the following:
Park the vehicle on flat, even ground.

Lower and completely retract the boom.
Keep the boom raised and mount the safety rod if main-
tenance work must be carried out with the boom raised.
Run the engine at a minimum for 60 seconds to cool it
down.
Switch off the key in the ignition switch.
Remove the key from the ignition.
Release any residual pressure from the hydraulic sy-
stem, by repeatedly moving the hydraulic distribution
levers with the engine switched off.
Hang up a sign that indicates maintenance work is un-
derway. This sign can be hung on the manipulators or
the cab door.
Set up barriers and spacers to prevent unauthorised per-
sonnel from approaching the vehicle.
Disconnect the battery isolator switch.
Allow the engine to cool down.
- Ensure you are familiar with maintenance procedures

before starting work.
- Keep the work zone clean and dry.
- Do not lubricate parts or carry out maintenance work
when the vehicle is in motion.

components with cloths that may leave deposits.
3. The capacity of the fuel storage tank must ensure that

the intervals between one refuelling and the next are not
too long. A capacity of 3,000 litres is sufficient for an ave-
rage sized company.
4. The storage tank (see the figure below) must be covered

and placed on a support high enough to exploit the force
of gravity when refuelling the machine. A tank to collect
any spillage must be located below. It should also be
equipped with a manhole to allow access for cleaning.
7. If the barrels are kept in the open, the cap must be tightly
closed to prevent water seepage.
8. After refilling the fuel tank or barrels, it is advisable to

leave the fuel to stand for at least two hours so that any
water or impurities can deposit before the fuel is used.
5. The delivery tap must be larger at the bottom to trap any

deposits; it should also be equipped with a removable fil-

CHECKING THE WIND SPEED
- Variations in wind speed can cause several inconvenien-

ces such as loss of machine stability, load oscillation, and
a reduction in visibility due to blowing dust, leaves, etc.
- Other unfavourable factors affecting machine use include:

Site location; the aerodynamic effect of buildings, trees
and other structures increase the wind speed.
The height of the extended boom; the higher the boom,
the higher the wind speed.
Load dimensions; the larger the area occupied by the
load, the more it is affected by the force of the wind.
- ATTENTION -
DIECI telehandlers can be used in wind speeds up to
45 Km/h equal to 12.5 m/s (no. 6 of the Beaufort scale)
measured at ground level.
- ATTENTION -
At a temperature of 10°C, in winds with a speed of 32
Km/h, the sensation of exposed body parts is a tempe-
rature of 0°C; the higher you are the higher the wind
speed and the colder you will feel.
- ATTENTION -
If there is a fresh breeze (fig. 1/B n. 5 in the Beaufort
Scale), never raise loads with a surface area greater
than one square metre.
Below is a graph of the Beaufort scale (fig.1/B) to give an in-

dication of the wind speed at which you can work and when
to suspend work if certain values are exceeded.

B/41
LOAD TABLES
- ATTENTION -
CHECK THE LOAD TABLES FOR YOUR VEHICLE IN CHAPTER "H”, TECHNICAL SHEETS
The Safe Working Load (SWL) of these vehicles depends on the extension and angle of the boom.
This vehicle is equipped with an anti-tipping device.
For further information on the safe load indicator see the relevant paragraph (in chapter "C" Getting to Know Your Vehicle,
"anti-tipping device").
The load table located inside the cab illustrates the safe working loads in relation to the various positions of the boom.
The boom extension is marked by letters: "A" "B" "C" "D".
The load table illustrates the maximum height and extension achievable without exceeding the safe load.
The telehandler is also equipped with its own load table. The load table shows the admissible load with standard forks.
When certain attachments are fitted on the vehicle the relevant diagram is supplied.
The load table indicated is for reference purposes only.

Before lifting or positioning loads, consult the loading tables. Before lifting or positioning loads, consult the load tables located in
the handbook located on the right of the central dashboard or consult chapter "H" (vehicle technical sheets) in this manual.
- ATTENTION -
The limits given in the load Tables refer to the vehicle at a halt. Do not lift or extend the boom when the vehicle is in motion.
Retract the boom completely and lower it as far as possible before moving the vehicle with a load.
Check which boom attachment has been mounted on the vehicle and then consult the relevant load table.

USING THE LOAD TABLES AND BOOM INDICATORS
- ATTENTION -
For your safety and the safety of the vehicle, follow the instructions provided below.
The load tables relating to your vehicle can be found inside the note pad in the driver’s cab.
- ATTENTION -
The restrictions indicated in the load tables refer to the stopped vehicle on wheels or stabilizers in a level position.
Do not lift or extend the boom when the vehicle is in motion.
Retract the boom completely and lower it as far as possible before moving the vehicle with a load.
Check which boom attachment has been mounted on the vehicle and then consult the relevant load table.
Before proceeding to lift or put down a load, it is essential that you know how much it weighs.
Make sure the centre of gravity of the load does not exceed 600mm measured from the heels of the forks.
- ATTENTION -
The centre of gravity of the load may not necessarily be at the centre, you have to therefore work out its position.
B/43
When the weight of the load is known, consult the load table (chapter ”H“ vehicle technical sheets ) and identify the section indi-
cating the weight immediately above.
Example:
in the load table given as an example (fig.19/C), the weight of the load is 6000 kg; go to the section, 6200 tons. (Fig.19/C Pos.“A“).
The left-hand border (fig.19/C Pos.“B“) and the upper border (fig.19/C Pos.“C“) of this segment indicate the stability limits of
the vehicle relative to the considered load. Do not slant or extend the boom beyond the indicated limits. (fig.19/C Pos.“B-C“).
After insertion of forks from under the load and before lifting them, check indicator values of boom angle and extension.

(fig.19/B)
As seen on the table, the lines start from the graduated scale for the angling and extension of the boom and cross the section
of the table. Check where the relevant lines for the parameters considered cross. If the crosspoint is within the maximum load
section or to the right (known load weight), the load is within the safety limits.
If the lines cross above or to the left of the section, do not make any attempt to lift the load. Retract the boom.
If, even with the boom completely retracted, the angular and extension values of the boom intersect outside of the maximum
load section, do not attempt to lift the load.
When the load is on the forks, retract the boom before lifting or lowering it. This will reduce the risk of the vehicle becoming unstable.
When the load is raised (for example, on a scaffolding) it should be let go (raise it) before retracting the boom completely.
Before depositing a load, check the load table to determine the maximum distance of the vehicle from the point of unloading.
It should be possible to deposit the load without intersecting the limits indicated to the left or above the maximum load section.

LOAD HANDLING
Picking a load up from the ground
1. Slowly approach the load to be lifted with the boom com-

pletely retracted and the forks horizontally positioned at
the height of the lifting position.
Keep forks raised just enough to avoid contact with the
ground.
2. Bring forks under load to be lifted until contact is made

with the fork holding plate. Engage the parking brake
and move the gear selector to neutral.
3. Slightly lift up the load and tilt the fork holding plate back-
wards, bringing it to the transport position.
- ATTENTION -
Always respect the load's centre of gravity, slant the
forks just enough to ensure stability and prevent
load loss during braking.
- ATTENTION -
Never transport a load with the boom
raised and/or extended
B/46
Lifting loads from high up
1. Ensure the forks can be easily inserted under the load.
2. Slowly and cautiously drive the machine perpendicularly

towards the load with horizontal forks.
3. Always remember to maintain the distance necessary to in-

sert the forks under the load between the pile and the ma-
chine. Extend the boom over the shortest possible length.
4. After inserting the forks under the load so that contact is

made with the fork holder plate, engage the parking bra-
ke and shift the gear selector to neutral.
5. Raise the load slightly and tilt the fork holder plate back-
wards into the carrying position.
6. If possible, lower the load without moving the machine.

Raise the boom to distance the load, then retract the
extensions and position the load in the carrying position.
7. If it is not possible to reverse the machine very slowly

and with the utmost care, after adequately distancing the
load, retract the extensions and lower the boom to posi-
tion the load in the carrying position.
- ATTENTION -
Always comply with the centre of gravity of the load,
tilt the forks enough to ensure stability and to avoid
dropping the load when braking.
- PROHIBITION -
IT IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN TO PICK UP A LOAD IF
THE MACHINE IS NOT LEVEL.
- ATTENTION -
Never carry loads while the boom is raised and/or
extended.
B/47
Placing loads in high places
1. Place the load in the carrying position in front of the pile.
2. Raise and extend the boom until the load is above the
pile. If necessary, advance the machine towards the pile
very slowly and with the utmost care.
3. Engage the parking brake and shift the gear selector to neutral,
4. Position the load horizontally and place on top of the pile, lo-
wer and retract the extensions to position the load correctly.
5. Release the forks by alternately retracting the extensions

and raising the boom; if possible reverse the machine
very slowly and with the utmost care.
- ATTENTION -
Always comply with the centre of gravity of the load,
tilt the forks enough to ensure stability and to avoid
dropping the load when braking.

the boom is raised and/or extended.
B/48
Picking up round-shaped loads
- Tilt the forks forward and detract the telescopic boom. At

the same time, place the forks under the load, and turn
the fork holding plate backwards in order to slide the
load. If necessary, secure the load with wedges.
- ATTENTION -
Always respect the load's centre of gravity, slant the
forks just enough to ensure stability and prevent
load loss during braking.
- ATTENTION -
Never transport a load with the boom
raised and/or extended

- Engine oil pressure pilot light
Other pilot lights may remain on depending on which
functions have been activated.
Should any pilot lights remain switched on signalling mal-

functions, do not switch on the vehicle, consult the “mainte-
nance” chapter of this manual and contact a DIECI author-
ized service centre.
The first acoustic warning signal indicates dashboard start-

up with its related function” “check””. A second acoustic sig-
nal indicates load control panel start-up. Ensure that on the
central dashboard LCD display that the letter “N”, for neutral
gear, appears. Ensure that the parking brake is engaged (fig.22/C)
by checking that its pilot light is switched on. If it is not en-
gaged, engage it before starting the vehicle.
Start-up
- Turn the key to position “1” (fig.22/C) to power the instruments.

- Wait for dashboard pilot lights to switch off
- Turn the key to position “2” (fig.22/C) and keep it there
for a few seconds in order to carry out start-up.
- Once the engine has started, release the key.
In the event that start-up cannot be carried out in a period of

5 seconds, try again at regular intervals of 15 seconds to not
overload the starting motor.
If the engine will not start, consult the “maintenance” chapter
of this manual and contact a DIECI service centre.
C/20
- ATTENTION
The automatically engaging service brake will disengage
with the engine started up. Before starting up the vehicle,
always verify that the parking brake has been manually en-
gaged via its switch.
- ATTENTION
To release the parking brake with the engine stopped, refer
to the paragraph, “towing the vehicle” .
When the brake is engaged, the hydrostatic transmission

remains locked and the vehicle cannot move.
When the engine has started up, the pilot lights signalling
faults/malfunctions should go off and only those regarding
active functions should remain on. If the engine will not start,
consult the “maintenance” chapter of this manual and con-
tact a DIECI service centre.
During the first few minutes of use, keep transfer and load
lifting speed low in order to heat up the engine and hydraulic
oil. Before using the vehicle when it is fully loaded, wait for
the engine water to heat up.
- ATTENTION
Bring the engine to a high number of RPMs before high tem-
perature and pressure can cause any serious damge to the
engine or the hydraulic system.
Always maintain control over RPMs and engine speed.

Once 2350rmp has been reached the dashboard will
indicate that the engine is revving via a continuous
acoustic signal and the “general alarm” pilot light on
the central dashboard will switch on.

C/46
CATALYTIC PURIFIER (optional)
(fig.103/C Pos.”1”)
Duration
As the catalyst is not actively involved in the chemical reac-
2
tion it provokes, its life is theoretically unlimited. However, due
to certain conditions such as: engines not perfectly tuned,
vehicle vibrations and the abrasive effect of fumes on the 1
support, the life of the catalyst may be shortened. In reality,
the life of the catalytic purifier is about 10,000 working hours.
Maintenance
The catalyst is activated by the high temperature of the
fumes which also prevents any particles from depositing on
the honeycomb; less maintenance is, consequently, needed.
We recommend cleaning the purifier every 500 working
hours. To clean the catalytic purifier, contact an authorized
DIECI service center.
(fig.103/C)
WATER PURIFIER (optional)

(fig.103/C Pos.”2”)
The water driven purifier is manufactured entirely in stain-

less steel with titanium and is resistant to high temperatures
and to corrosive sulphurous compounds which are present
in the exhaust fumes.
It consists of a horizontal cylindrical body (sized accord-
ing to engine power) which makes up the water tank, two
mounting brackets and a cylindrical tower located on the up-
per part of the water tank that contains the separator.
The gases are directed through an entry tube into the inte-
rior part of the purifier and are passed through the water in
fine bubbles. The carbonaceous particles become heavier
upon contact with the water and fall to the bottom of the
water tank. The gases are then directed towards the sepa-
rator which recovers the carbonaceous particles that have
not fused with the water. The white smoke emitted from the
exhaust is simply water vapor.
Maintenance
Maintenance of the water driven purifier is EXTREMELY IM-
PORTANT and the water must be changed every 8 work-
ing hours . The tank must be emptied using the spherical
drain valve and clean water must be added through the
loading and level cock.
The purifier’s efficiency is demonstrated by the black sludge
that can be seen when the water is changed. The purifier
should be cleaned every 300 working hours: drain the wa-
ter and clean the inside for a few minutes with a pressurised
jet. DIECI also provides the additive TAM which, if added to
the water at every change, helps to keep the purifier clean.
TAM also improves the performance of the purifier: it neu-
tralises sulphuric and sulphurous acids.

GENERAL ALARM PILOT LIGHT
The general emergency/alarm is triggered when:
- there is an engine error
- one of the pilot lights in the table below lights up
- the engine is over-revved
Engine errors
The engine is equipped with an electronic control unit, which communicates directly with the instrument cluster.
Malfunctions are signalled by the general alarm pilot light accompanied by an acoustic alarm that lasts for 1.5 seconds and the
error code is displayed on the LCD.
Instrument cluster pilot lights
Several pilot lights that are particularly important for the life of the machine and safe machine use are connected to the general

Engine errors
Engine errors are signalled by the general alarm pilot light accompanied by an acoustic alarm (buzzer) that lasts for 1.5
seconds and an error code is displayed on the LCD (fig.205/C Pos.“3”). The error is displayed until the operator presses but-
ton “1” (fig.205/C) or “2” (fig.205/C) for 3 seconds. The “general alarm” pilot light will stay on until the error has been removed.
By pressing button “1” (fig.205/C) or “2” (fig.205/C) for 3 seconds, the error is no longer displayed but it is stored in the memory.
One second will lapse before a second error is displayed, the error will be signalled by the buzzer for 1.5 seconds and the new
error will be displayed. The same procedure will apply to every subsequent error.

TRANSDUCERS ANGLE, EXTENSION AND PRESSURE ALARM
The used transducers give a variable voltage at output proportional to the measured physical size value.
The program converts the input voltage and with adequate procedures, gives the measured size typically in:
• Metres per distance measurements
• Degrees per angle measurements
• Kg * 1000 for weight measurements
• Bar for pressure measurements
Four levels of alarm are envisioned:

1. Reading of the not converted signal below to 0.25 v
2. Reading of the not converted signal above 4.75v
3. Value of the converted signal below minimum
4. Value of the converted signal above maximum
In particular, alarms 1 and 2 allow firstly highlighting any calibration errors.

Supposing a machine which minimum extension is 5 m and maximum is 15 m, alarm 3 intervenes if the measured extension is
below 4.7 m, whereas alarm 4 if the same is above 15.3 m.
The tolerances for the intervention of these alarms is 0.3 m for extensions and 4 degrees for the angles.
A delay of about 1 second is envisioned on the activation of each individual alarm.
No connection of the positive signal

Alarm Cursor not connected
Level 1 Short-circuit of the screen with cursor

Level 2 Faulty transducer

Level 3

Alarm

Level 4
Faulty transducer
With regard to the alarms relating to the pressure transducers; in case of the lifting cylinder, only the alarm on the minimum
value is present as it may happen that when lifting a heavy load, the pressure reaches the transducer limit.
The system is in safe conditions in that an overload of the limit device intervenes.
The possible causes may be:

• Break of the connection cable
• Short-circuit on the connection cable
• Break of the pressure transducer
• Fault on the board
What to do:
• If the alarm appears when the boom moves, check the cable that almost certainly interrupts, or a section subject to move-
ment goes in short-circuit.
• Attempt loosening the connector and check the contacts are not oxidised. It may happen that, following incorrect fixing,
water has entered the connector.
• Measure the power supply on the connect and, if required, verify the continuity of the connections.
Pay attention to the screen shield; it may happen that a small scratch places a signal in short-circuit.
• Eventually replace the transducer.
• More rarely, a fault of the board is possible. In any case, before replacing the board verify functioning of the input channel
by trying to invert the transducers.
C/78
TRANSDUCERS CONGRUENCY ALARM
For safety reasons, extensions, angles and pressures are read by 2 different transducers, and the values are compared.
Alarms are envisioned if the difference between the values of the 2 transducers is above:
• 0.3 m in case of extension

• 4 degrees in case of angles
• 10 Bar in case of pressure
The alarm is generated when the 2 signals are different for at least 1 second.
Causes:
• Transducer or connections fault

• Transducers not aligned
What to do:
• In presence of faults, the checks are the same as for verifying the transducers
• Eventually calibrate the transducers

- ATTENTION - 1
1
These operations must be carried out when the engine is cold.
Radiator grill cleaning
The radiator grill (fig. 20/D Pos. “1”) must be kept as clean
as possible in order to facilitate a better heat exchange be-
tween this and the air circulating within it. To remove impuri-
ties, use a low pressure air jet from the outside towards the
inside of the radiator, that is, from the air outlet towards the
engine. Then pass the air jet over the dirty, internal parts of
the engine compartment. If the dirt is particularly compact,
soften it with a low pressure water jet before using air. (fig.20/D)
Keep the engine bonnet grills clean to facilitate air circulation with-
in the engine compartment (fig. 21/D Pos. “1”) and the vents (fig.
21/D Pos. “2”), following the same instructions as for the radiator.
- ATTENTION:
Consult the engine operation and maintenance handbook
before using jets of air or water.
1 1
1
- ATTENTION:
Heat exchange flaps are very delicate. Do not use rags or brush-
es to clean. Jets of water and air must be directed horizontally.
Check cooling liquid level
During normal vehicle use, the water level should be

kept at 3 cm under the radiator cap (fig.21/D Pos.”1”).
Verification of a correct level of cooling liquid must be carri- 2
ed out as follows:
(fig.21/D) 2
3. Slowly turn the radiator cap (fig.22/D Pos.”1”) counter-
clockwise until reaching the safety pin.
4. Discharge pressure and steam.
5. Turn the cap counter clockwise and remove it.
6. Check the coolant level. If necessary, top up with a mix of 2
water and antifreeze. The level is correct when the tank is
completely full (3cm below the radiator) (fig. 22/D Pos. “2”).
7. To reinsert the cap carry out the operations in the oppo-
site order.
- ATTENTION:
If frequent top ups are necessary in normal working condi-
tions, verify that there are no cooling system leaks. Contact
a DIECI service centre if problems arise.
- ATTENTION:
Use demineralised water to fill the cooling system. Calcareous wa- 1
ter may cause incrustations and premature aging of the system.
(fig.22/D)
Replacing cooling liquid
For correct replacement of cooling liquid:
1. Stop the vehicle on a flat surface.
3. Open and lock the bonnet.
4. Remove engine compartment cinch (fig. 24/D Pos “1”)
unscrewing the screw (fig. 24/D).
5. Place a container under the radiator to collect any cool-
ing liquid which may come out during replacement.
7. Remove the sleeve (fig. 23/D Pos. “1”) to drain the water
in the radiator; unscrew the top up cap (fig. 22/D Pos.
“1”) to accelerate draining.
8. Allow the cooling circuit to drain completely.
9. Check the conditions of the sleeves and their fastenings.
Replace if necessary.
10. Wash the radiator with clean water, pouring it into the
top up cap (fig.22/D Pos.”1”) and draining it through the
sleeve inlet (fig.23/D Pos.”1”). If necessary, add a deter-
gent product to the clean water.
11. Once clean, close the drain inlet replacing the sleeve
(fig.23/D Pos.”1”).
12. Fill up the cooling system with the cap (fig.22/D Pos.”2”)
up to level (3 cm below the radiator cap) with the previ-
ously prepared cooling liquid. 1
13. Close the cap (fig.22/D Pos.”1”) and switch on the en-
gine and allow it run at minimum for a few minutes.
14. Make sure that there are no leaks, check the level and, if
necessary, add more liquid.
15. Once operations have been completed reinsert the cap
and close the engine bonnet.
(fig.23/D)
- ATTENTION -
Use demineralized water to fill the cooling system.
Calcareous water may cause incrustations
and premature aging of the system.
- ATTENTION:
Always wear suitable protective clothing during these operations.
- ATTENTION:
Waste coolant is potentially harmful to the environment and
must be disposed of appropriately.
- ATTENTION -
The radiator must always be filled with a solution
made of distilled water and antifreeze to prevent
the rusting and freezing of system water.
Mixing percentages can
be found on antifreeze containers.

Air filter
(Fig.27/D Pos.”1”)
Cartridge Cleaning / Replacement

1
An air filter in poor conditions can cause a reduction in pow-
er, excessive fuel consumption and shorten engine life.
Filter clogging is signalled by the corresponding pilot light
found on the central dashboard. It is possible to continue
operation for a maximum of 10 hours after clogging has
been signalled. Maintenance must however be carried out
as often as described.
Filter cleaning should be carried out with compressed air at
2
maximum of 3 Bar and at a distance not less than 150mm,
(fig.27/D)
taking due caution to not damage components.
Use a wet cloth which will not leave residue to clean the box
and cover.
For correct cleaning:
3. Open and lock the bonnet.
4. Pull the locking levers (fig.28/D Pos.”1”), located on the four 1
corners of the filter cover (fig.27/D Pos.”2”), towards you.
5. Remove the cover (fig.27/D Pos.”2”).
6. Push the inside handle (fig.29/D Pos.”1”) towards the en-
gine (as indicated by the arrows) and pull it towards you
to extract the secondary filter.
7. Slide the paper filter (fig.30/D Pos.”1”) from the support,
(fig.28/D)
overturning downward the part equipped with a gasket. Keep
one hand under it to prevent it from falling and being ruined.
8. Remove the primary filter (fig.31/D Pos.”1”), pulling the
extraction flap toward the (fig.31/D Pos.”2”) side or the
central plastic (fig.31/D Pos.”3”).
9. Clean and replace filters and remount them following the 1
same instructions in the opposite order.
- ATTENTION:
We recommend cleaning filters only when the pilot light sig-
nals clogging or at scheduled maintenance intervals. Unnec-
essary and too frequent cleaning exposes components to (fig.29/D)
handling damage which can allow dust and dirt to pass into
the filtering phases, causing damage to the engine.
- ATTENTION:
Filtration components which come into contact with any type
of liquid will have to be replaced.
Regularly check the suction sleeves and replace them imme-

diately if worn or damaged. Regularly check that bolts and
clamps are properly tightened. No air should be allowed to 1
enter the engine without having first passed through the filter. (fig.30/D)
During filter cartridge replacement, clean the primary suction
duct and the filter holding plate.
Follow the operations listed below:

2
1. Remove the front filter bolt (fig.34/D Pos.”1”) and remove 3
the air input inlet (fig.34/D Pos.”2”).
2. Use a wet cloth that will not leave residue. Clean every
air input inlet. (fig.31/D) 1
3. Repeat the same operations in the opposite order to re-
mount all components.
2
- ATTENTION:
In the event the gasket is worn, replace it.
- ATTENTION: 1
Do not operate with an improperly assembled or damaged filter.
- ATTENTION:
To ensure maximum filter efficiency, we recommend oper-
ating with a complete filter on both parts and components. (fig.34/D)
All worn parts should be replaced as quickly as possible.
- PROHIBITED -
Operating the vehicle without an engine air filter is
ABSOLUTELY PROHIBITED
The engine constantly sucks up air during use;

the dust present causes severe system damage.
CYLINDER BLOCK VALVES
Cylinder block valves hinder uncontrolled movement of the cylin-

der pistons in case of lacking hydraulic or bursting pressure of a
flexible pipe. The valves are directly mounted on the cylinders.
Cylinder non return valves check
- ATTENTION:
Whenever these checks take place do not allow anybody
near the vehicle.
- ATTENTION:
One movement at a time should be checked during verifications.
- ATTENTION:
In the event of malfunction, do not use the vehicle until it has
been repaired.

movement stop the engine. The boom must slow down
and stop as the engine slows down and stops.
If the boom keeps on moving after the engine is switched

off, the block valve is faulty. Repair the defect as quickly as
possible, contact a DIECI service centre.
C) Forks swivelling cylinder (swivelling): (fig.44/D)
1. Start up the engine; pick up a load using the forks

(example a load bricks or hay bales).
Tilt the forks completely backwards.
2. Engage the parking brake and put the transmission in neutral.
3. Shift the boom away from the ground as much as need-
ed to allow the forks forward inclination.
4. When the engine is running at 1400 RPMs, engage the (Fig.46/D) (Outer swivel plate cylinder block valve)
control lever to tilt the forks forward. During the fork move-
ment stop the engine. Swivelling movement must slow
down and then stop as the engine slows down and stops.

HOW TO COMPLETE THE SERVICE REGISTER

The “SERVICE REGISTER” must be completed in compliance with the Essential Safety Requirement 4.4.2.b of Enclosure I of Ma-
chine Directive EC/98/37, to prove that all machine inspection and service activities concerning safety have been carried out correctly.
Together with every activity concerning the life and use of the machine (replacement of parts, services, malfunctions, etc.)
the Service Register must also include information regarding all the quarterly and yearly inspections provided for by law, in-
cluding those indicated in the “Maintenance” section and “Attachments” chapter of this Manual.
The name of the service engineer and the date the job was carried must also be clearly indicated.
You are recommended to complete, up-date and keep this Service Register with care throughout the entire life of the machine.
The following pages have been left free to ease creation of your own Service Register.
OBLIGATIONS AND HOW TO FORWARD STATEMENTS TO I.S.P.E.S.L. (SUPREME INSTITUTE FOR

ACCIDENT PREVENTION AND SAFETY IN THE WORKPLACE)
The Italian Ministerial Decree dated 12/09/1959, under Title II – Article 7, states that the employers and users of engine-driven
lifting equipment having capacities greater than 200 kg and personnel platforms, are obliged to inform the competent au-
thority (currently I.S.P.E.S.L. - the Supreme Institute For Accident Prevention And Safety In The Workplace in Italy) when the
machine is commissioned, specifying the place of installation of the machine so that this authority may make an initial inspection.
This fulfilment is confirmed by Article 11 – section 3 of Italian Presidential Decree 459 dated 24/07/1996, a national law that
transposes Machine Directive EC/98/37.
The statement to the Supreme Institute for Accident Prevention and Safety in the Workplace is made by enclosing a copy
of the EC Statement of Conformity of the machine, with reference to Enclosure IIA of Italian PRESIDENTIAL DECREE
459/96 – Machine Directive EC/98/37.
The original statements (EC Statement of Conformity – Enclosure IIA or Manufacturer’s Statement –Enclosure IIB) must be kept by the client.
The statement shall be forwarded to the Supreme Institute for Accident Prevention and Safety in the Workplace by registered
post with advice of receipt.
The Supreme Institute For Accident Prevention And Safety In The Workplace will then inform the local surveillance authority
(A.S.L. in Italy) that the machine is in use; this authority is then in charge of the subsequent yearly inspections.
SCHEDULED INSPECTIONS AND REGISTRATION METHOD

The employer or user of the machine must ensure the machine is inspected regularly pursuant to the law
(Italian Presidential Decree 547 dated 27/4/55; Italian Ministerial Decree 12/9/59 and Italian Decree Law 626 dated 19/9/94).
He or she must also comply with the maintenance and inspection schedule described in this Use and Maintenance Manual.
Inspections and scheduled tests, together with maintenance work must be carried out by especially employed experts, or by
a workshop authorised by the manufacturer, DIECI S.r.l.
The employer/user of the machine must record the results of the tests and inspections in the Service Register, or ask specifi-
cally trained personnel to record them.
The scheduled tests and inspections that must be recorded in the “Service Register” are:
a) Quarterly inspections that involve the operation and/or efficiency of ropes/chains according to Article 179 of Italian
Presidential Decree 547 dated 27/4/55.
b) Yearly inspections that involve the operation and the preservation of the machine in terms of safety (yearly tests,
corrosion inspections, calibration tests, etc.) according to Article 194 of Italian Presidential Decree 547 dated 27/4/55.
The law foresees administrative fines for those who fail to carry out quarterly and yearly inspections.
The Service Register, in which the inspections are recorded, must be shown on request to the inspectors in charge of ensu-
ring that the current laws are observed.
After the yearly inspection has been carried out, the A.S.L. inspector issues an acceptance report or prescribes the ac-
tion necessary to fulfil legal requirements. The user is obliged to store the inspection report with the Service Register.
If the local surveillance authority (A.S.L. in Italy) should fail to make the yearly inspection, you are in any event recom-
mended to have the yearly inspection carried out by a qualified engineer and record the results in the Service Register.
The evaluations of the inspections must be registered in the reserved pages below, indicating the outcome of the inspection,
the date, the signature and any comments by the inspector.
If not enough pages have been reserved within this manual to contain all the notes concerning the life of the machine, use
additional sheets of paper, remembering to complete them in the same manner.
