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 fall or tip.
2. Set the parking brake, hold the service brake pedal
fully applied and slowly raise the load, maintain-
ing a slight rearward tilt to cradle the load.
3. As the load approaches the desired height, feather
the boom control at minimum speed until the load
is slightly higher than the landing point.
4. Continuing the feathering technique, 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 pos-
sible, very slowly and carefully reverse the tele-
scopic 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.
3. Secure the forks from pivoting upward in case the
PWP is lowered onto an obstruction. This can be
accomplished by using the chain supplied with the
PWP to secure the lower portion of the PWP to the
bottom of the carriage, as shown below.
4. Connect the coiled wire from the remote shutdown
switch to the connector on the end of the boom.
Secure the remote shutdown switch to the PWP
using the strap attached to the switch, as shown
below.
5. Secure the lanyard from the body harness to the
PWP or the boom. Each person in the PWP should
have a body harness with a lanyard attached to the
PWP.

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.
WARNING
The PWP must meet ANSI/ITSDF B56.6-2005,
Section 8.24. (See page 14 in the Safety chap-
ter for PWP design requirements.) If the PWP
being used does not offer means to secure the
PWP to the forks and to secure the forks from
pivoting, as shown in steps 2 and 3, then an
alternate method must be used.
