Approach the load squarely and slowly with the
machine straight and level. Adjust the space between
forks, if necessary. Engage the load equally on the
forks until the load touches the carriage backrest. Tilt
the forks back to position the load for travel.
Carrying the Load
If the load obstructs the view, have a helper direct the
operator. Maintain ground speed consistent with
ground conditions and which permit stopping in a safe
manner.
Load Elevation and Placement
For ground level load placement, be sure the area
under the load and around the machine is clear of
equipment and personnel. Lower the load to the
ground, tilt the forks to the horizontal position, and
then carefully back away to disengage forks from the
load.
For elevated or overhead placement, bring the machine
as close as possible to the landing point, and then:
1. Level the machine BEFORE raising the load. Use
extreme caution for high placement. Be sure per-
sonnel are clear of the area where the load or the
machine could tip or fall.
2. Set the parking brake, hold the service brake
pedal in fully applied position and slowly raise
the load, maintaining a slight rearward tilt to cra-
dle the load.
3. As the load approaches the desired height, feath-
er the boom control at minimum speed until the
load is slightly higher than the landing point.
4. Continue the feathering technique and lower the
load into place.
5. Free the forks from the load by alternately retract-
ing and raising the boom. If this process is not
possible, very slowly and carefully reverse the
telescopic handler to free the forks from the load.
6. Lower the forks to travel height.
Installing a Personnel Work Platform
(PWP)
1. Center the forks on the carriage, spaced apart to
match the distance required to engage the PWP.
2. After the forks are fully engaged in the PWP,
secure the PWP to the forks. This can be accom-
plished by means of a retaining pin behind the
heel of the forks as shown.
WARNING
Operating conditions such as slopes or soft
ground can reduce the machine’s safe operat-
ing capacity. Exceeding the capacity when
raising or extending the boom will cause the
machine to tip forward.
WARNING
NEVER travel with the boom above the carry
position (attachment tool should be at mini-
mum ground clearance). Boom should be fully
retracted.
Use lower gears when traveling down an
incline. NEVER coast with the transmission in
neutral. Travel up and down grades slowly.
DO NOT operate the machine on a slope or
grade that exceeds 22% or 12
o
.
WARNING
The machine must not be used to lift or carry
personnel or be fitted with any form of per-
sonnel work platform unless fitted with the
optional PWP System.
If fitted with the PWP System, the Mandatory
Work Platform Safety Rules (p. 13) must be fol-
lowed at all times while lifting personnel.
