Data Privacy
Manitou connected machines are equipped with boxes that collect technical data concern-

It is strictly forbidden to access all or part of this database or to use this data (whether or not
intentional) without Manitou’s express authorization . In the event that Manitou authorizes an
individual to access all or part of this database, Manitou, as producer of this database, only
grants the user a personal, non-exclusive, and non-transferrable right to use the database, and
only via access to a computer platform hosted on a server owned or controlled by Manitou .
In any case, the following activities are strictly prohibited:
- any extraction, reproduction, representation, reuse by making available to the public, diffu-

any form whatsoever, of all or a qualitatively or quantitatively substantial part of the contents
of the database,
- any extraction, reproduction, representation, reuse by making available to the public,
diffusion, transfer, or repeated and systematic extraction of qualitatively or quantitatively
insubstantial parts of the contents of the database when these operations clearly exceed the
conditions of normal use of the database by the user of the machine for his or her own needs,
- any use of a means of circumventing technical measures for the protection of databases or
the source code of the software embedded in the boxes, in accordance with Article L .331-5 of
the Intellectual Property Code .
In the event that the above measures are absolutely essential to enable the use of the software,

Direct and/or Indirect Visibility
Tested in accordance with ISO 5006: 2017.
The machine has been subjected to a static visibility assessment with the
lift structure in a carry position or 200 mm (7-7/8 in.) above the ground. The test
simulates operator visibility from the operator’s position:
• The line of sight between theoperator’s eye position and a pointon the
ground at a 12 m (472 in.)radius.
• On a rectangular boundary 1 m (39in.) from the machine, 12 m (47 in.)
above the ground.
• Masking was recorded as shown
(Fig. 6), and is within the allowablelimits in accordance with ISO 5006:
2017.
• The standard/test does not accountfor head movement or rotation,which
can improve visibility andmitigate masking.
