All movements of the load must be accomplished
gradually and at the slowest practical speed to
prevent the load from swinging.
Keep the heavy part of the load closest to the
attachment.
Never drag or pull a load sideways.
Only lift a load vertically; do not pull a load
horizontally as it could cause excessive swinging
of the load.
The weight of all rigging (slings, shackles etc.)
must be included as part of the load.
Identify the proper lifting points of the load, taking
into consideration the center of gravity and load
stability.
Do not attempt to use the telehandler
frame-leveling to compensate for a swinging load
or to adjust the load after it has been raised.
Do not try to move fixed or obstructed loads.
Do not leave the telehandler unattended with a
suspended load.
Keep the boom and load as low as practical while
maintaining visibility in the direction of travel.
Do not exceed walking speed (2 mph / 3.2 km/h)
with a suspended load.
Start, travel, turn and stop slowly to prevent the
load from becoming unstable or swinging.
Do not use any controls to re-position the load
when traveling. Come to a gradual and complete
stop before attempting to re-position the load.
Do not attempt to cross inclines as the load center
will move towards the tipping line, thereby reducing
stability.
Only climb or descend inclines with extreme care
as the load center will move towards the tipping
line, thereby reducing stability
Do not park on a slope.
Fall Hazards
Do not lift or suspend personnel.
