When ramps must be used in transporting loads with
the machine, the following shall be the minimum
widths for safe travel:
Compacted dirt, gravel, etc. 12 ft. (3.6 m)
Woodboard, concrete, etc. 10 ft. (3.0 m)
Permanent aisles, roadways, passageways, floors and
ramps should be marked or defined in some fashion.
Permanent or temporary protrusion of loads, equip-
ment, material and construction facilities into the usual
operating area should be guarded, clearly and distinc-
tively marked, or clearly visible.
Maintain a safe distance from the edge of ramps, plat-
forms and other similar working surfaces.
4. DO NOT travel across a side hill that exceeds 18%
or 10° grade. Regardless of the terrain or position
of the wheels, the FRAME MUST BE LEVEL,
as indicated by the frame angle indicator on the
ROPS/FOPS crossmember. The attachment tool
MUST be maintained at the “carry” position with
the boom fully retracted, and attachment tool at
minimum ground clearance.
When ascending or descending grades in excess of 5%
or 3°, the machine should be driven with the load
upgrade. An unloaded machine should be operated on
all forward grades with the load handling attachment
tool downgrade, tilted back if applicable, and raised
only as far as necessary to clear the road surface.
On grades, ramps and inclines, use extreme caution
and avoid turning if possible. Normally travel straight
up and down the slope.
Traffic Flow Patterns
Know and understand the traffic flow patterns of your
jobsite. Know all Telescopic Handler hand signals for
safety. Utilize signal persons and be sure you can see
the signal person and acknowledge the signals given.
WARNING
DO NOT level the frame with the boom raised
or extended. Only level the frame while
stopped, and with the boom fully retracted,
and the attachment tool raised just enough to
clear the ground.
