Section 2 – Operator Safety
WARNING
Failure to comply with your required
responsibilities in the use and operation of the
telehandler can result in serious injury or even
death.
A study conducted by St. Paul Travelers showed
that most accidents are caused by the failure of the
operator to follow simple and fundamental safety rules
and precautions.
You, as a careful operator, are the best insurance
against an accident. Therefore, proper usage of this
telehandler is mandatory. The following pages of this
manual should be read and understood completely
before operating the telehandler.
Common sense dictates the use of protective clothing
when working on or near machinery. Use appropriate
safety devices to protect your eyes, ears, hands, feet
and body.
Any modifications from the original design are strictly
forbidden without written permission from Skyjack.

Adhere to all federal/national, state/provincial, or local
safety regulations for your own protection.
