Operation
Load Handling
Death or serious injury by electrocution
will result from contact with or inadequate
clearance with energized power lines or
apparatus.
Danger
Keep the Telehandler, attachments, and
loads a safe distance from electrical power
lines.
•
Remain at least 10 feet (3 meters), plus an additional
0.4 inches (10 millimeters) for each 1,000 Volts over
50,000 Volts, from active power lines and other power
sources.
•
Work site operating directives and/or local or state
codes might require a greater distance.
•
Know the maximum height and reach of this Telehan-
dler.
Warning
Failure to follow proper safety procedures
when lifting, lowering, and traveling with
a load could cause death, serious injury, or
property damage.
DO NOT exceed Telehandler capacity of 6,000 pounds
(2,721.5 kilograms). The total rated capacity of the forks be-
ing used must equal to, or exceed, the Telehandler capacity.
Forks can bend or break causing loss of load and could re-
sult in death or serious injury.
DO NOT exceed the manufacturer’s rated load
for any auxiliary attachment. Any attempt to
lift or carry loads in excess of the manufac-
turer’s rated load may cause Telehandler tip
over, loss of load, or structural damage which
could result in death, serious injury, or property damage.
Warning
•
Review the rated load capacity of each auxiliary attach-
ment 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 nonstan-
dard 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.
•
Take extreme caution when operating the Telehandler
in an area where active overhead power lines, overhead
or underground cables, or other power sources exist.
•
Contact the appropriate power or utility company to de-
energize power lines or take other suitable precautions.
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.
