Safety
Death or serious injury by electrocution will
result from contact with or inadequate clear-
ance with energized power lines or apparatus.

where active overhead power lines, overhead
or underground cables, or other power sources exist.
•
Contact the appropriate power or utility company
to de-energize power lines or take other suitable
precautions.
Danger
Operation Safety
Keep the Telehandler, attachments, and loads
a safe distance from electrical power lines.
• Remain at least 10 feet, plus an addition-
al 0.4 inches for each 1,000 volts over 50,000
volts, from active power lines and other power
sources.
•
Work site operating directives and/or local or state
codes might require a greater distance.
•
Know the maximum height and reach of this Telehan-
dler.
Warning
Use of the frame sway control with the boom
raised above horizontal could cause tip over
resulting in death or injury. Always use the
frame sway control to level the Telehandler
BEFORE raising the boom above horizontal.
If the Telehandler cannot be leveled using the frame sway
control, do not attempt to raise or place load. Reposition
Telehandler or have the surface leveled.
Warning
To prevent death, serious injury, or property
damage, the operator must be seated with seat
belt fastened, arms, legs, and head completely
inside the Rollover Protection Structure/Fall-
ing Object Protection Structure (ROPS/FOPS),
the travel select lever in NEUTRAL, the Parking
Brake switch ON (engaged), and the service brakes applied
BEFORE starting the Telehandler.
•
The seat belt MUST be worn while operating the
Telehandler. Failure to wear the seat belt could result
in death or serious injury.
DO NOT adjust the seat or seat belt while the
Telehandler is moving. Keep both hands on
the wheel while the Telehandler is moving
to prevent loss of Telehandler control which
could result in death or serious injury.
Never try to escape the Telehandler if it be-
comes unstable. Learn and practice these
safety procedures to protect yourself from a
roll over or tip over incident:
• Remain securely fastened in the seat belt.
•
Keep your head, body, and limbs within the ROPS/FOPS
structure.
•
Brace yourself and hold on firmly.
•
Lean away from the point of impact.
•
Stay on the Telehandler and ride out the roll over or tip
over.
DO NOT use the Telehandler as a work plat-
form or personnel carrier. Falling of attach-
ments could result in death or serious injury.
Warning
Warning
It is unlawful to tamper with or remove any component of
the aftertreatment system. It is also unlawful to use Diesel
Exhaust Fluid (DEF) that does not meet the specifications
provided or to operate the machine with no DEF.
Warning
Diesel Exhaust Fluid contains urea. DO NOT get the sub-
stance in your eyes. In case of contact, immediately flush
eyes with large amounts of water for a minimum of 15 min-
utes. DO NOT swallow internally. In the event the DEF is in-
gested, contact a physician immediately. Refer to the Mate-
rial Data Safety Sheet (MSDS) for additional information.
Caution
Never attempt to create Diesel Exhaust Fluid by mixing agri-
cultural grade urea with water. Agricultural grade urea does
not met the specifications required and the aftertreatment
system may be damaged.
DO NOT use attachments that are corroded
excessively.
