Travel Hazard
• Steering characteristics differ between steer modes. Identify the steer mode
settings of the telehandler being operated.
• DO NOT change steer modes while traveling. Steer modes must be changed
while telehandler is stationary.
• Visually verify proper wheel alignment after each steer mode change.
• Ensure that adequate clearance is provided for both rear tail swing and front fork
swing.
• Look out for and avoid other personnel, machinery and vehicles in the area. Use
a spotter if you DO NOT have a clear view.
• Before moving be sure of a clear path and sound horn.
• When driving, retract boom and keep boom/attachment as low as possible while
maintaining visibility of mirrors and maximum visibility of path of travel.
• Always look in the direction of travel.
• Always check boom clearances carefully before driving underneath overhead
obstructions. Position attachment/load to clear obstacles.
• When driving in high speed, use only front wheel steer (if steering modes are
selectable).
