Operation Manual

Operator Cab
NOTE: Two (2) boom functions can be performed at the
same time by moving the handle into the corner between (2)
functions. For example, moving the handle to the forward, left
corner will lower and retract the boom at the same time.
The Boom Control joystick has variable motions from the
center position that control boom and tilt functions.
The Boom Control joystick is used to raise, lower, extend,
retract the boom, tilt the carriage (or attachment), and
control auxiliary functions (when equipped with a carriage or
attachment with additional functions).
NOTE: The Boom Control joystick is a variable speed control.
Function speed is proportional to handle movement. The
more the handle is moved in the appropriate direction, the
faster the corresponding function will occur.
NOTE: Increasing engine speed can increase boom lift and
extend speed.

Warning
DO NOT change steering modes until the telehandler
slows or comes to a complete stop. Align all four (4) wheels
perpendicular to the axle, before changing steering mode.
Changing steering modes at higher travel speeds can make
the telehandler unstable, and cause a loss of control, which
could result in death, serious injury, or property damage.
