o) When moving the boom, forks must be maintained in the transport position while the
vehicle is moving. The transport position being the lowest height that provides
adequate ground clearance and allows the operator a clear view of the rear right side
through the mirror. When at a standstill or parked the boom should be lowered to the
ground. When raising the boom the vehicle should be stationary or only very slowly
moving into position for charging or discharging the load.
p) Always watch the boom height especially when entering buildings or when in the
vicinity of overhead cables.
q) Teleporter drivers must ensure all Teleporter activity & any defects to either the
Teleporter or any attachments are recorded in the Teleporter Operations Log Book
and reported to the tractor co-
ordinator for action. A ‘Do Not Use’ label must be
securely attached to the Teleporter steering wheel and if relevant to the attachment
as well. Endorsement of the logbook in the appropriate space will enable drivers to
confirm the defect has been rectified. Labels can be found on the shelf in the
hydraulics pump house.
This list is not exhaustive. To view all safety reminders, refer to the Operators
Handbook stored in the barn container on bookshelf.

e) Gear selection will be easier if the engine is at minimum revs. Move the forward/reverse lever
into neutral before changing gear. NEVER change gear while on the move.
f) Use two wheel drive whenever possible.
g) Four-wheel drive should be used when operating in slippery or muddy conditions to improve
traction. It should be disengaged as soon as possible when conditions deem it is not necessary.
Always leave the four wheel drive disengaged when leaving the Teleporter and check it is has
been disengaged before starting. The lever is the rear of the two levers to the right side of the
drivers seat.
