Tilt the Quick-attach System forward to allow the
attachment tool to roll out, then lower the boom
so the hook ears clear the hookup bar on the
attachment tool.

Start the engine and tilt the Quick-attach System
forward, then slowly back the machine until the
attachment tool is free from the boom nose.

tool level while the boom is being raised.
GENERAL MACHINE OPERATION
Take time to check the Telescopic Handler to be sure
all systems are in good operating condition. Perform
the following steps before starting the machine for the
first time each day:
1.
Check the engine oil, coolant, transmission oil
and hydraulic oil levels.
2.
Be sure weekly lubrication has been done.
3.
Visually inspect for leaks, broken or malfunction-
ing parts. Be sure all caps, covers and safety
shields are in place.
4.
Check tires for cuts, bulges, nails, correct pres-
sure, loose wheel nuts, etc.
5.
Inspect the work area. Be sure you know where
you will make load pickups, placements, lifts, and
turns. Look over the terrain of the jobsite for
holes, obstacles, slippery surfaces, and soft or
deep mud.
6.
Check clearances of ramps, doorways and
passageways. Check overhead clearances if you
will travel and place loads near power or tele-
phone lines.
If the machine is found to be in need of repair or in any
way unsafe, or contributes to an unsafe condition, the
matter must be reported immediately to the user’s des-
ignated authority. The machine must NOT be operated
until it has been restored to a safe operating condition.
Operate the travel controls gradually and smoothly
when starting, stopping, turning and reversing direc-
tion.
Grade and Slope Precautions
The Telescopic Handler complies with industry stabil-
ity test requirements and is stable when properly oper-
ated. However, improper operation, faulty mainte-
nance, and poor housekeeping can contribute to a con-
dition of instability.
WARNING
Exhaust fumes can kill. Ensure proper ventila-
tion when starting indoors or in enclosed
areas.
Use proper handholds, NOT the steering
wheel or control levers when mounting and
dismounting.
NEVER operate the machine with safety
guards or covers removed.
Over-inflated tires can explode and cause
injury or death. Tire repairs MUST be made
only by authorized personnel using proper
tools and equipment.
WARNING
Modifications, alterations to, or use of attach-
ment tools NOT authorized by Manitou
Americas (or the manufacturer) in writing can
void warranty and cause machine damage
and/or serious personal injury or death.
