When ramps MUST be utilized in transporting loads
with the machine, the following shall be minimum
widths for safe travel:
Compacted dirt, gravel, etc. - 12 ft. (3.6 m)
Woodboard, concrete, etc.
- 10 ft. (3.0 m)
Permanent aisles, roadways or passageways, floors and
ramps shall be defined in some fashion or marked.
Permanent or temporary protrusion of loads, equip-
ment, material and construction facilities into the usual
operating area shall be guarded, clearly and distinc-
tively marked, or clearly visible.
Maintain a safe distance from the edge of ramps, plat-
forms or other similar working surfaces.
Controlled lighting of adequate intensity should be
provided in operating areas. Where operating condi-
tions indicate, the operator/user shall be responsible for
having the machine equipped with lights.
Provision shall be made to prevent trucks, semi-trailers
and railroad cars from being moved during loading and
unloading.
Wheel stops, hand brakes, or other recognized positive
means shall be used to prevent movement during load-
ing and unloading.
DO NOT move railroad cars or trailers with the
machine.
DO NOT use the boom and attachment for leverage to
push the machine out of mud.
IMPORTANT:
DO NOT lower boom at high
engine RPM when attachment tool is at maximum
rearward tilt. Damage to slave cylinders may
result.
GENERAL LOAD HANDLING
NEVER attempt to work controls except from the
operator’s seat. NEVER jerk or use fast movements.
Avoid sudden stops, starts or changes in direction.
Operation of the hydraulic system depends on engine
speed and the distance the controls are moved. When
operating these controls it is important to develop a
technique called “feathering”. Feathering the control
means you start the desired motion by moving the con-
trol away from neutral a small amount. After move-
ment has started, the control can be eased to full power.
Use the same technique to stop the motion.
4. DO NOT travel across a side hill that exceeds 18%
(10
o
) grade. Regardless of the terrain or position of the
wheels, the
FRAME MUST BE LEVEL
as indicated
by the level indicator on the ROPS cross member. The
attachment tool MUST be maintained at the “carry”
position with the boom fully retracted, and attachment
tool at minimum ground clearance.
When ascending or descending grades in excess of 5%
or (3
o
), the machine shall be driven with the load
upgrade. Unloaded machine should be operated on all
forward grades with the load handling attachment tool
downgrade, tilted back if applicable, and raised only as
far as necessary to clear the road surface.
Avoid turning if possible and use extreme caution on
grades, ramps or inclines. Normally travel straight up
and down.
Traffic Flow Patterns
Know and understand the traffic flow patterns of your
jobsite and also know all Telescopic Handler hand sig-
nals for safety. Utilize signalmen and make sure you
can see the signalmen and acknowledge the signals
given.
The backup alarm automatically sounds with the trav-
el selector in reverse. Care should be taken when down
shifting or reversing as damage to the transmission can
occur if shifting is forced or attempted while traveling.
