Â
Place the load in a horizontal position and set it
down on the stack by lowering and retracting the
boom (1) (2) to position the load correctly (fig.
P8).
Â
If possible, release the fork by alternately retract-
ing and raising the boom (1) (fig. P9). Then return
the forks to transport position.
Â
If this is not possible, reverse the telescopic han-
dler (1) very slowly and carefully to release the
forks (fig. P10). Then return the forks to transport
position.
Q - SUSPENDED LOADS
The handling of suspended loads by means of the truss
boom or other similar device can introduce dynamic
forces affecting the stability of the machine that are not
considered in the stability criteria of industry test stan-
dards. Grades, sudden starts, stops and turns can cause
the load to swing and create a hazard.
DO NOT exceed the Telescopic Handler capacity for
handling suspended loads. Only lift the load vertically;
NEVER drag it horizontally. Use tag lines to restrain
load swing whenever possible.
GUIDELINES FOR “FREE RIGGING/SUS-
PENDED LOADS”
1. The rigging equipment must be in good condition
and comply with the applicable U.S. OSHA regu-
lation, 1910.184, “Slings,” or 1926.251, “Rigging
equipment for material handling.”
2. The rigging equipment must be secured to the
forks such that it cannot slip or slide either side-
ways or fore and aft.
3. The capacity of the fork(s) and the machine
(whichever is less) must not be exceeded.
4. The load center must remain at 24” (610 mm) or
less.
5. No lifting of material may be done when anyone is
on the load, rigging or forks.
6. Multiple pickup points on the load are preferred to
prevent the load from rotating, but a single pickup
point may be used if one or more tag lines are uti-
lized. And, of course, the load must never be posi-
tioned over personnel at any time.
