 PRESENTATION
The VF 4.63G - VF 4.63G PLUS model is a hydraulic machine. It is made
up of loader parts, a thermal engine, hydraulic systems and a driver cab. When
the driver operates the controls the thermal engine-driven pump sends
hydraulic fluid towards the distributor which, in turn, directs it towards the
various components. A cooler, installed next to the engine water radiator,
keeps the hydraulic fluid at standard operating temperature

Engine exhaust contains products of combustion which may be harmful to your

health. Always start and operate the engine in a well ventilated area and, if in an A
enclosed area, vent the exhaust to the outside.
Do not use aerosol types of starting aids such as ether. Such use could result in
an explosion and personal injury.

Use the following procedure to start the engine.

- move the throttle lever to the low idle position before you start the engine.
- turn the engine start switch to the START position (position )
- when the engine starts, release the engine start switch to the position I

Machine use: basic rules TOWING
Ensure that all machine parts and equipment work properly during machine use.
Remember: the majority of inconveniences and breakdowns that occur during machine Towing pin
use are caused by loosening of machine components and leaks that have not been dealt
with quickly enough.
Since running in produces a general settling of all mechanical components and hydraulic
connections, highly rigorous machine checks ARE ESSENTIAL.
Bear in mind the following regulations:
- During initial machine manoeuvres do not rev the engine too high (1,200 - 1,500
r.p.m.) so that transmission oil (converter, inverter, gears, pinion set, governors) and
hydraulic oil reach operating temperature gradually.

- Move all the levers gently to avoid damaging loads and knocks. Towing is a delicate operation performed at the operator’s risk. The
Manufacturer declines all liability for damage and accident that may occur.
- Do not insist in using the hydraulic cylinders if they are unable to oppose the necessary
resistance: this, in fact, opens the main hydraulic valve and could lead to dangerous oil
overheating. The vehicle must be towed very slowly over flat and horizontal terrain for
short distances only and only when absolutely necessary.
- Periodically check the warning lights and panels: If a warning light comes on or if an
indicator exceeds the allowed limits stop the vehicle immediately and switch off the
diesel engine to carry out the necessary checks. If the cause is not found do not restart Towing must be absolutely performed with the use of the tow bar.

2) limit towing to short distances (1-2 km);
Use the vehicle with the bucket down as much as possible. This position 3) avoid the overheating of the hydraulic motor

 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
BASIC MAINTENANCE INFORMATION
Observe the maintenance schedules carefully: read the hour counter every day. When
doing maintenance work position the vehicle on a solid, obstacle-free stretch of ground
and set the bucket down. Unless specifically stated otherwise, all maintenance work
must be carried out with the engine OFF and the ignition keys removed. It is good
practice to let the engine cool down before starting work.
Before lubricating clean the nipples. Clean the outer edges of plugs and filler holes
before pouring in oil. No dirt or dust must get into parts or circuits.
If maintenance and repair work is not carried out correctly there is high
risk of serious personnel injury. If you have any doubts regarding
maintenance procedures contact your Venieri distributor.
A raised operating arm or driver less machine movement could cause
serious injury. Before carrying out any maintenance work proceed as
follows:
1. Park the vehicle on the flat.
2. Lower the operating arm until it is resting on the ground.
3. Turn off the engine.
4. Chock the wheel to keep the vehicle in place.
Locking bar working Locking bar to recovery
VF 4.63G
Should maintenance work require the bucket to be in raised position, position
the lock bar (which prevents the loader booms to come down) against the
lift cylinder head.
Whenever maintenance work is being done place a sign which says “DO NOT START”
on the dashboard. Never abandon the cab with the engine running.
Never carry out modifications without authorisation. Unauthorised modifications may
cause serious injury.
IMPORTANT: if the machine is used in a particularly tough environment (dusty, corro-
sive etc.) carry out maintenance work more frequently.
IMPORTANT: strictly observe all machine filter change schedules. Engine life depends
on filter cleanliness.
The hour counter lets you know when its is
time to carry out maintenance. With the thermal
engine running the counter works as a clock.
Maintenance schedules are clearly stated in
order to make machine operation safe and
efficient.
Note: Every vehicle is equipped with a special manual providing more detailed
information on the diesel engine maintenance.
