MANDATORY SAFETY SHUTDOWN
PROCEDURE
BEFORE cleaning, adjusting, lubricating or
servicing the unit:
1. Stop machine on a level surface. (Avoid
parking on a slope, but if necessary, park
across the slope and block the tires.)
2. Fully retract the boom and lower the
attachment tool to the ground. Idle engine
for gradual cooling.
3. Place controls in neutral and apply parking
brake.
4. Shut off the engine and remove the key.
ONLY when you have taken these precautions
can you be sure it is safe to proceed. Failure
to follow the above procedure could lead to
death or serious bodily injury.
Additional Safety Reminders
 User/operator safety practices, as established by
industry standards, are included in this Operator’s
Manual and intended to promote safe operation of
the machine. These guidelines do not, of course,
preclude the use of good judgment, care and com-
mon sense, as may be indicated by the particular
jobsite work conditions.
 It is essential that operators be physically and men-
tally free of mind-altering drugs and chemicals,
and thoroughly trained in the safe operation of the
machine. Such training should be presented com-
pletely to all new operators and not condensed for
those claiming previous experience. Information
on operator training is available from several
sources, including the manufacturer.
WARNING
U.S. OSHA regulations require employers in
general industry and the construction, ship-
yard and cargo-handling industries (excepting
agricultural operations) to ensure that forklift
operators are competent, as demonstrated by
successful completion of a training course.
The training course must consist of a combi-
nation of formal instruction and practical
training, including both forklift-related and
workplace-related topics, and evaluation of
the operator’s performance in the workplace.
All operator training and evaluation is to be
conducted by persons who have the know-
ledge, training and experience to train and
evaluate operators.
WARNING
The telescopic handler is designed for out-
door use under normal atmospheric condi-
tions, and indoor use in suitably ventilated
premises.
It is prohibited to use the telescopic handler in
areas where there is a risk of fire or potential-
ly explosive materials (e.g., refineries, fuel or
gas depots, stores of flammable products).
For use in these areas, specificly approved
equipment is available. (Ask your dealer for
information.)
WARNING
ALWAYS maintain a safe distance from elec-
tric power lines and avoid contact with any
electrically charged conductor or 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 at
least 10 ft. (3 m) from all power lines.
Accidental contact or rupture can result in
electrocution or an explosion. Contact the
“Call Before You Dig” referral system number
at 8-1-1 in the U.S., or 888-258-0808 in the U.S.
and Canada, to locate any underground utility
lines BEFORE starting to dig.
