Operation 3
Chapter 2 - Operation
Job-Site Set-Up
Thoroughly plan the lift before positioning
the vehicle. Consider the following:
1. The vehicle should be positioned in an
area free from overhead obstructions to
eliminate the need for repositioning.
2. Position the vehicle so that it is impossible
for any portion of the equipment to come
within the minimum required safe distance
of any power line. Maintain a clearance
of at least 10 feet between any part of
the hooklift, load line, or load, and any
electrical line or apparatus carrying up to
50,000 volts. One foot additional clear-
ance is required for every additional
30,000 volts or less. Remember to allow
for winds that cause power lines to sway.
It is recommended that a signal person
be used when the vehicle is set-up near
power lines.
3. The vehicle should also be positioned on
a firm and level surface that will provide
adequate support for the body.
4. The parking brake must be removed to
allow the truck to roll under the body
while loading.
CAUTION
1. When loading and unloading,
the jib clinder must be fully
retracted before operating the
lift cylinder to prevent damage
to the latch systems.
2. When the PTO is engaged, do
not run the engine over 1400
RPM.
3. Do not hold the brakes while
performing operations.
