IMPORTANT: DO NOT lower boom at high
engine speed when attachment tool is at maxi-
mum rearward tilt, because damage to slave
cylinders may result.
GENERAL LOAD HANDLING
NEVER attempt to work controls except from the
operator’s seat. NEVER jerk or use fast movements.
Avoid sudden stops, starts and changes in direction.
Operation of the hydraulic system depends on engine
speed and the distance the controls are moved. When
operating these controls it is important to develop a
technique called “feathering.” Feathering the control
means starting the desired motion by moving the con-
trol a small amount away from neutral. Then after
movement has started, the control can be eased to full
movement. Use the same feathering technique to stop
the motion.
Load Capacity and Reach
This machine has flip-charts in the operator’s station
that provide the load capacity limits at various posi-
tions of attachment tool extension and elevation. A set
of the load zone charts is reproduced at the end of this
manual for reference.
A typical load zone chart is shown on the next page.
The scale on the left indicates height in feet above the
ground level. The scale on the bottom shows the dis-
tance in feet out from the front of the machine. The arc
lines noted by the numbers “1” through “4” correspond
to the position extension markers on the operator side
of the inner boom section.
The following example illustrates proper use of the
load zone charts for the Telescopic Handler:
Example:
The operator, using a standard carriage attachment
tool, wants to raise a 4000 pound load 10 feet high, and
can only get to within 5 feet of the load placement
point. Can it be done within the capacity of the
machine?
WARNING
NEVER exceed the rated operating capacity of
the Telescopic Handler as shown on the load
zone charts.
WARNING
Excessive speed can be hazardous. ALWAYS
exercise caution and good judgement while
operating the machine.
ALWAYS maintain a safe distance from elec-
tric power lines and avoid contact with any
electrically charged conductor and gas line. It
is not necessary to make direct contact with a
power line for power to ground through the
structure of the machine. Keep the boom and
load at least 10 ft. (3 m) from all power lines.
Accidental contact or rupture can result in
electrocution or an explosion. Contact the
North American One-Call Referral System at
(888) 258-0808 for the local “Digger’s Hotline”
number or proper local authorities for utility
line locations BEFORE starting to dig!
Keep all body parts inside the operator’s sta-
tion while operating the machine. BE SURE of
clearance for the attachment tool when turn-
ing, working around buildings, etc.
Turning corners too fast can tip the machine,
or cause a load to tip off the attachment.
Sudden slowing or stopping of the machine
may cause the load to drop off the attachment
tool.
Be certain you can control both speed and
direction before moving. Always place the
machine in neutral and set the parking brake
before raising or extending the boom. NEVER
drive the machine up to someone standing in
front of the load.
NEVER leave the operator’s station without
first lowering the attachment tool to the
ground. Then set the parking brake, place con-
trols in neutral, shut off engine and remove
the key. AVOID parking the machine on a
slope, but if necessary, park across the slope
and block the tires.
