PRINTED IN U.S.A. 37 50960066/AP0813
Analysis: See “Typical Load Zone Chart” below.
Projecting up from the 5-foot mark on the horizontal
axis to intersect a line through the 10-foot mark on the
vertical axis shows the load can be placed in the 4000
pound zone.
During placement, the operator observes when the
extension reference number “2” on the boom becomes
visible and stops. The maximum safe distance of
extension with this load has been reached.
HANDLING NON-SUSPENDED LOADS
Picking Up the Load
Inspect the load. If it appears unstable, DO NOT
attempt to move it. DO NOT attempt lifting double-
tiered loads, or straddling side-by-side pallets with one
on each fork. NEVER add extra unauthorized counter-
weights to this machine.
Approach the load squarely and slowly with the
machine straight and level. Adjust the space between
forks, if necessary. Engage the load equally on both
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 your view, get someone to direct
you. Maintain ground speeds consistent with ground
conditions and which permit stopping in a safe manner.
Elevating and Placing the Load
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:
WARNING
Operating conditions can reduce the telehan-
dler’s safe operating capacity. Exceeding the
capacity when raising or extending the boom
will cause the telehandler to tip forward.
WARNING
DO NOT raise the boom until you check the
frame angle indicator to verify that the ball is
in a safe zone for raising and placing a high
load.

WARNING
NEVER travel with the boom above the carry
