1. Using suitable lift equipment, hook into the lift
eyes. Adjust the length of the slings or chains to lift
the telescopic handler level.
IMPORTANT: As needed, use a spreader bar to
prevent the slings or chains from rubbing the
sides of the boom.
2. Center the hoist over the Telescopic Handler. To
prevent shock loading of the equipment and exces-
sive swinging of the load, slowly lift the
Telescopic Handler off the ground. Perform all
movements slowly and gradually. As needed, use a
tag line to help position the Telescopic Handler.
TOWING THE TELESCOPIC HANDLER
If the machine becomes disabled, it can be towed for a
short distance. To tow the Telescopic Handler, the high
pressure limiters on the hydrostatic transmission must
be unlocked and the SAHR parking brake must be
released.
Hydrostatic Transmission Unlocking
Procedure
1. Remove the plastic caps on the high pressure lim-
iters.
WARNING
Do not tow the Telescopic Handler at more
than 3 mph (5 km/h), and only for short dis-
tances (less than 100 yards).
2. Loosen the jam nut on a high pressure limiter.
3. While holding the jam nut, use an Allen wrench to
turn the center release screw in until it bottoms.
4. Tighten the jam nut.
5. Repeat steps 2-4 for the other high pressure limiter.
SAHR Parking Brake Releasing Procedure
1. There are unlocking screws on the front and rear
sides of the axle. Locate and loosen both unlocking
screws (1) and remove the stop washers (3).
