Frame Leveling
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.
With the Sway Emable button depressed, the joystick controls
the frame sway (right and left) when moved right or left ac-
cordingly.
Warning
The Telehandler includes a Frame Sway Over-
ride switch. Improper use of the Frame Sway
Override switch could cause death, serious
injury, or property damage.
The frame sway feature becomes locked and will not operate
when the boom is raised 40° or more. Applying service brake,
parking brake, and placing travel select lever in NEUTRAL,
then pressing the Frame Sway Override switch (the trigger on
the Front Control handle) will override the lockout feature and
allow frame sway.

The Sway Enable button on the joystick is used to enable
the machine frame sway before lifting any loads. This button
needs to be depressed at all times while the joystick is moved
sideways for frame sway purposes.
A frame level indicator is mounted on the inside upper right
corner of the operator’s cab. The frame level indicator allows
the operator to view if the Telehandler has been positioned in
a level condition. Always frame sway the Telehandler right or
left until the indicator shows 0° (level).
