PRINTED IN U.S.A. 39 913287/BP0808
Analysis: See “Typical Load Zone Chart” above.
Projecting up from the 15-foot reach mark on the hor-
izontal axis to intersect a line through the 20-foot
height mark on the vertical axis shows that up to a
4000 lb. load can be placed in that zone.
During placement, the operator should observe when
the arc reference number “4” on the boom is visible
and stop. The operator knows the maximum safe
extension distance with the 4000 lb. load has been
reached.
LIFTING ATTACHMENT TOOL
APPLICATIONS
Picking Up the Load
Inspect the load before picking it up. If it appears
unstable, DO NOT attempt to move it. DO NOT
attempt lifting double-tiered loads, or straddling side-
by-side pallets one on each fork. NEVER add extra
unauthorized counterweights to the machine.
Load Capacity and Reach
The machine has flip-charts in the operator’s station
that provide, at a glance, the capacity limits at various
positions of attachment tool extension and elevation. A
set of the load zone charts is reproduced at the end of
this manual for reference.
A typical load zone chart is shown on this page. The
scale on the left indicates height in feet above the
ground level. The scale on the bottom shows the dis-
tance in feet from the front of the machine. The arc
lines noted by the numbers “1” through “5” correspond
with the position extension markers on the operator
side of the intermediate boom section.
The following example illustrates proper use of the
load zone charts for the Telescopic Handler:
Example: The operator, using a standard carriage
attachment tool without outriggers, wants to raise a
3000 lb. load 20 feet high, and can only get to within
15 feet of the load placement point. Can this be done
within the capacity of the machine?
WARNING
NEVER exceed the rated operating capacity of
the Telescopic Handler as shown on the load
zone charts.
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.
Keep all body parts inside the operator’s sta-
tion while operating the machine. BE SURE of
clearance for the attachment tool when turn-
ing, working around buildings, etc.
Turning corners too fast can tip the machine,
or cause a load to tip off the attachment.
Sudden slowing or stopping of the machine
may cause the load to fall off the attachment
tool.
Be certain you can control both speed and
direction before moving. Always place the
machine in neutral and set the parking brake
before raising or extending the boom. NEVER
drive the machine up to someone standing in
front of the load.
NEVER leave the operator’s station without
first lowering the attachment tool to the
ground. Set the parking brake, place controls
in neutral, shut off engine and remove the key.
AVOID parking the machine on a slope, but if
necessary, park across the slope and block
the tires.
