Safety Rules
Safety Precautions (Continued)
Know and understand all safety precautions before going on to the next section.
• DRIVE
UPHILL
LOADED
.
When holding
a load, driving uphill
decreases potential for
load to slip out.
• ALWAYS LEVEL FRAME
before elevating the boom
• WHEN
T R A N S P O R T I N G
LOADS
fully retract the
boom, keep the load low
to the ground and forks
tilted back slightly. This is
the most stable position
possible for the vehicle.
• KEEP
forks close to the
ground when in motion
to increase telehandler
stability and decrease
potential for injury to
others.
When
fully
stopped,
lower
forks
completely to the ground.
• TILT
forks backwards
slightly when traveling to
decrease potential of load
slipping off.
• SECURE
loose
loads
with chains or straps to
decrease
potential
of
spills or injury to others.
• TETHER LOADS
that
may
swing,
keeping
them close to the ground.
Provide ample clearance
for personnel to guide the
load safely.
•
SLINGING LOADS
is
acceptable only when
the load is appropriately
attached to a jib boom
or the throat of a tilted
fork, and the precautions
outlined in
Section 2.12
are followed.
• BE
AWARE
of
the
telehandler’s
travel
envelope, especially when
turning. Keep sufficient
clearance at all times
between the telehandler
and any obstacles or
people.
• KEEP OTHERS AWAY
at
all times during operation.
• CHECK
lights
(if
equipped)
for
proper
function before operating.
• ENSURE ALL
tires are
in good condition and
lug nuts are properly
tightened.
