Carrying Suspended Load
1.
Rigging between the load and attachment should
be as short as possible to reduce boom height.
2.
Do not raise the load more than 12 inches (305
mm) above the ground or raise the boom more
than 45 degrees.
3.
All telehandler movements should be performed
slowly and cautiously to prevent load swing.
Avoid abrupt movement. Do not exceed walking
speed.
4.
Use a signal person anytime the load restricts the
operators view or assistance is required. The sig-
nal person should remain in contact (verbally or
visually) with the operator at all times until the
load is placed.
Ground Level Suspended Load Placement
1.
Be sure the area under the load and around the
telehandler is clear of equipment and personnel.
2.
Lower the load to the ground till load is stationary
and the rigging is loose from the load. Have sig-
nal person disconnect the rigging from the load.
3.
Raise boom enough to clear the rigging from the
load before backing the telehandler away from the
load.
Elevated Suspended Load Placement
1.
Bring the telehandler as close as possible to the
landing point.
2.
Check the frame angle indicator to verify that the
ball is in the safe zone for placing a elevated load.
Use extreme caution for high placement. Be sure
personnel are clear of the load landing area.
3.
Set the parking brake, hold the service brake
pedal fully applied and slowly raise the load.
4.
As the load approaches the landing point, feather
the boom control at minimum speed until the load
is just above the landing point.
5.
With the assistance of a signal person, continue
the feathering technique to lower the load into
place.
6.
Once the load is stationary on the landing point
and the rigging is loose from the load, have the
signal person disconnect the rigging from the
load.
7.
Raise boom enough to clear the rigging from the
load. Slowly and carefully, reverse the telehandler
till the rigging is clear of the load.
8.
Lower the boom to travel height.
ROAD TRAVEL
For short distance highway travel, attach a Slow-
Moving Vehicle (SMV) emblem (purchased locally) to
the rear of the Telescopic Handler. For highway opera-
tion, obtain and install an amber flashing beacon.
NOTE:
ALWAYS follow ALL state and local regu-
lations regarding the operation of equipment on or
across public highways. Whenever there is an
appreciable distance between jobsites, or if
driving on public highway is prohibited, transport
the machine using a vehicle of appropriate size
and capacity.
TRANSPORTING BETWEEN JOB-
SITES
ALWAYS abide by the following recommended proce-
dures and guidelines when using ramps to load the
machine onto (and unload it from) a truck or trailer.
Failure to heed can result in damage to equipment and
serious personal injury or death!
Tie-down points are provided for inserting chains to
secure the machine during transport.
Front Tie Down
Rear Tie Down
WARNING
NEVER place the signal person between the
load and the telehandler or other stationary
objects.
