Traveling
Be sure that the path of travel is level and capable
of supporting the telehandler with its load.
Keep the boom, and load, as low as practical while
maintaining visibility in the direction of travel.
Ask a signal person to assist with your travel if
visibility will be obstructed in the direction of travel.
Crush or Collision Hazard. Make sure that the
signal person remains in constant communication
and be in visual contact at all times.
Only make adjustments to the load after bringing
the telehandler to a complete stop.
Start, stop, travel and turn slowly to prevent the
load from becoming unstable or swinging.
Do not travel faster than walking speed (<2 mph /
3.2 km/h).
Placing the Load
Ask a signal person to assist with placing the load
if visibility will be obstructed at the point of
operation.
Make sure that the signal person remains in
constant communication and be in visual contact at
all times.
Come to a complete stop near the landing point.
If equipped with stabilizers: Lower the stabilizers.
Set the parking brake and place the transmission
into neutral.
Slowly, and gradually, place the load over the
landing point and lower the load until it is safely
supported.
Once the load has been landed, continue to lower
the boom until the rigging and tethers can be
removed.
