Safety Rules
Section 1 - About Your Telehandler
Safety Precautions (Continued)
Know and understand all safety precautions before going on to the next section.
• BE AWARE
of all obstructions while traveling.
Check for clearance before traveling between
obstacles.
• USE CAUTION
when
boom is fully extended.
The further out the boom
is extended, the less load
telehandler can support.
• USE CAUTION
when
placing loads at high
elevations and on downhill
slopes.
• WALK AROUND
the
telehandler
before
operation
and
check
for any visible signs of
damage or malfunction.
• ALWAYS
maintain three
points of contact when
entering
vehicle.
Use
provided hand-holds and
steps only.
• ALWAYS
wear your seat
belt when operating this
vehicle.
• KNOW
the weight of the
load you are transporting.
Never lift more than
the lifting capacity at
any given extension or
elevation of the boom
as listed on the capacity
charts.
• CHECK
for cracks and
signs of stress.
• TRAVEL SLOWLY
over
rough terrain.
• If
operation
in
areas with holes or
dropoffs is absolutely
necessary
,
ensure that
all 4 wheels or outriggers
(if
equipped)
have
contact with firm surface.
Then level the frame.
Once frame is level the
boom can be elevated. After elevation, the drive
function must not be activated.
• DRIVE
DOWNHILL
UNLOADED
.
Without
a load, the back end
is the heaviest part of
the telehandler. Driving
downhill
decreases
potential for tipover.
