Controlled lighting of adequate intensity should be
provided in operating areas. Where operating condi-
tions indicate, the operator/user is responsible for hav-
ing the machine equipped with lights.
Provision should be made to prevent trucks, semi-trail-
ers and railroad cars from being moved during loading
and unloading. Wheel stops, parking brakes, or other
positive means should be used to prevent movement
during loading and unloading.
DO NOT move railroad cars or trailers with the
Telescopic Handler.
DO NOT use the boom and attachment for leverage to
push the machine out of mud.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT lower boom at high
engine speed when attachment tool is at maxi-
mum rearward tilt. Damage to slave cylinders may
result.
GENERAL LOAD HANDLING
NEVER attempt to work controls except from the
operator’s seat. NEVER jerk or use fast movements.
Avoid sudden stops, starts and changes in direction.
Operation of the hydraulic system depends on engine
speed and the distance the controls are moved. When
operating these controls it is important to develop a
technique called “feathering.” Feathering the control
means starting the desired motion by moving the con-
trol a small amount away from neutral. Then, after
movement has started, the control can be eased to full
movement. Use the same feathering technique to stop
the motion.
WARNING
Excessive speed can be hazardous. ALWAYS
exercise caution and good judgement while
operating the machine.
The Mandatory Work Platform Safety Rules
must be adhered to at all times while elevating
personnel.
ALWAYS maintain a safe distance from elec-
tric power lines and avoid contact with any
electrically charged conductor and 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 and
load at least 10 ft. (3 m) from all power lines.
Accidental contact or rupture can result in
