Load Safety
Warning
Failure to follow proper safety procedures
when lifting, lowering, and traveling with a
load could result in death, serious injury, or
property damage.
DO NOT exceed Telehandler capacity of 11,000
lbs. The total rated capacity of the forks being used must
equal or exceed Telehandler capacity. Forks can break caus-
ing loss of load and possible death or serious injury.
Failure to keep personnel clear of the load
area while the load is being raised or lowered
could result in death or serious injury. DO NOT
lift, swing, or move a load over anyone or over
a Telehandler cab.
•
Review the rated load capacity of each auxiliary
attachment before performing any operation.
•
Use the correct load chart and NEVER exceed specified
weights and load centers.
•
DO NOT exceed the manufacturer’s recommended load
capacity.
•
DO NOT operate the Telehandler with an unsafe load
distribution.
•
Adjust the load as necessary, especially for nonstandard
loads.
•
Use caution when handling loose material that can fall
into the cab.
•
Remove overhanging load materials, when possible,
and watch for sliding material.
•
DO NOT reach a load over posts or other objects that
can enter the cab, if tipped.
•
Avoid sudden stops, starts, or turns.
•
Avoid carrying a swinging load. If necessary, secure the
load by attaching it to the Telehandler tie-downs and/
or have another person assist with safely steadying the
load.
DO NOT exceed the manufacturer’s rated
load for any auxiliary attachment. Any
attempt to lift or carry loads in excess of
the manufacturer’s rated load may cause
Telehandler tip over, loss of load, or structural
damage which could result in death or serious injury.
Telehandler with “Do Not Operate” tags, and have a qualified
mechanic service or repair the Telehandler BEFORE placing
it into service again. Ignoring warning indicators can result
in death, serious injury, or property damage.
Contact with hot surfaces and the exhaust
pipe after the Telehandler has been operated
could result in serious personal injury.
Check warning indicators and gauges on
the dash panel frequently during operation.
If a warning indicator is illuminated or a
gauge shows abnormal readings, stop the
Telehandler, follow proper shut down tag the
Caution
Release the key immediately once the motor starts. If the
motor does not start, DO NOT crank the starter motor con-
tinuously for more than 15 seconds. Failure to release the
key after the motor has started or continuous cranking can
damage the starter motor.
The Telehandler includes a Frame Sway
Override switch. Improper use of the Frame
Sway Override switch could result in death,
serious injury, or property damage.
Make sure the Telehandler frame is level before raising and
extending the boom. Frame swaying left or right with the
boom raised is extremely dangerous and can result in death
or serious injury.
•
Use the frame sway control to level the Telehandler
before raising the boom.
•
Reposition the Telehandler if it cannot be leveled using
the frame sway control.
•
DO NOT enter or exit a tilted cab.
•
Remain seated with the seat belt securely fastened
while the cab is tilted.
•
Keep personnel at least 30 feet from a tilted Telehandler.

Use caution when operating the Telehan-
dler during storms or strong winds.
