2.9-2 Driving the Telehandler
NOTE
Be aware of blind spots when operating the •
telehandler.
Ensure that there are no personnel or obstructions
•
in the path of travel, including blind spots.
When traveling at high rate of speed, use front
•
wheel steering mode.
Slow the telehandler prior to turning.
•
Always look at the direction of travel. •
Travel in reverse only at slow rate of speed. •
Drive only as fast as condition allows.
Keep attachment or load low (18 - 24 inches) to
•
the ground which gives the best visibility and
stability.
Ensure outriggers (if equipped) are fully raised
•
before driving.
The telehandler is equipped with a power-shift
transmission. The transmission has forward and reverse
gears with speed ranges available in both directions.
1. Depress service brake pedal and move transmission
control lever to the desired direction of travel.
2. Release parking brake.
3. Begin selecting first gear and slowly release
service brake pedal.
4. Depress accelerator pedal slowly to increase
speed. Twist the transmission hand grip to select
higher gear until the desired speed is reached.
5. Select appropriate gear for the task being
performed. Select lower gear when transporting
load, traveling through deep mud, rough terrain,
or slopes. Select higher gears only when traveling
long distances on smooth terrain without a load.
6. Always bring the telehandler to a complete stop
before changing the direction of travel.
2.9-3 Driving on Slopes
DANGER
Driving on slopes or inclines can be
dangerous and result in forklift tipover
or loss of load.
wARNiNG
Avoid excessively steep slopes or unstable •
surfaces. Do not drive across excessively steep
slopes under any circumstances.
Avoid turning on slopes, if at all possible.
•
1. Keep load low and proceed with caution.
2. Reduce travel speed and downshift to a lower gear
before reaching a slope.
3. Ascend and descend slopes with the “heavy end”
or the telehandler pointing up the slope.
NOTE
When the telehandler has no load , the rear
is considered the “heavy end.” Travel with
the attachment pointed downhill .
When the telehandler is carrying a load ,
the front is considered the “heavy end.”
Travel with the
attachment pointed uphill .
4. When driving across a slope, keep frame level.
