Danger
Warning
Operators must be properly trained and
qualified to operate this specific telehandler.
Know the location, learn the specific purpose,
and demonstrate safe and proper use of all
controls, instruments, indicator lights, and
safety and instruction labels. Safety is your responsibility.
Failure to follow these guidelines could result in death or
serious injury.
To prevent death or serious injury, the
operator must be seated with seat belt
fastened, the travel select lever set to
NEUTRAL, the Parking Brake switch ON
(engaged), the service brake applied, and the
area free of people and obstructions BEFORE starting the
telehandler.
Operation Safety
• Never operate the telehandler in an area
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.
Keep the telehandler, attachments, and loads
a safe distance from electrical power lines.
• Remain at least 10 feet, plus an additional
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.
• 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.
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 prop-
erty damage, the operator must be seated
with seat belt fastened, arms, legs, and head
completely inside the Rollover Protection
Structure/Falling Object Protection Structure
(ROPS/FOPS), the travel select lever in NEUTRAL, the Park-
ing Brake switch ON (engaged), and the service brakes ap-
plied 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:
