Seat Belt
Warning
Always check the condition of the seat belt and
mounting hardware before operating the Telehandler.
If the seat belt or mounting hardware is defective, it
may not properly restrain the operator, which could
result in death or serious injury.
• DO NOT operate the Telehandler until the seat belt or
mounting hardware is replaced, if worn or damaged.
• The seat belt MUST be worn while operating the
Telehandler. Failure to wear the seat belt could result
in death or serious injury.
The Telehandler is equipped with a standard two inch
(2”) wide retractable seat belt. A three inch (3”) wide
retractable seat belt is available where required by state
and local laws and regulations.
Warning
DO NOT adjust the seat or seat belt while the Tele-
handler 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.
Before starting the engine, adjust the seat for position and
comfort (refer to the Operator Seat section of this manual)
and then adjust the seat belt as follows:
1. Grasp the free end of the seat belt (located on the
right side of the seat) and make sure the belt webbing
is not twisted or entangled in any portion of the seat
assembly.
2. Pull the retractable seat belt across your lap. Position
the seat belt as low on your body as possible.
3. Insert the latch plate into the buckle (on the right side
of the seat) until a “click” is heard.
4. Make sure seat belt retracts snugly across your lap.
Fire Extinguisher
A fire extinguisher is mounted in the operator cab.
