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 10,000
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
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.
Attachments
Warning
Improper connection of an auxiliary attachment could
result in death or serious injury. Attachments not locked
into place can become unstable and fall on the operator or
other personnel near the telehandler.
•
Make sure attachment locking devices are always in
place.
•
DO NOT operate the telehandler until you have positive
indication that the coupler pin and lever are fully
engaged.
•
Hydraulic attachments have a maximum hydraulic
pressure rating. Failure to make sure the attachment is
equipped with a pressure reducing valve, or is rated to
be equal or greater than 3,500 psi, which is the maximum
pressure of the telehandler auxiliary hydraulic system
at the quick-disconnect couplers, could result in death
or serious injury.
•
Make sure all hydraulic connections are tight (if
equipped).
Shut Down Procedure
Warning
To prevent death or serious injury, follow these procedures
before leaving the telehandler cab:
•
Park telehandler on a firm, level surface.
•
Move travel select lever to NEUTRAL (N).
•
Actuate (engage) the parking brake.
•
Lower forks and attachments to the ground.
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.
