LIFTING ATTACHMENT TOOL
APPLICATIONS
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. Consider the additional
weight of any attachment tool as part of the picking
load capacity of the 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 that 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 the 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 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. 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 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.
Installation of 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 on the next page.
WARNING
Operating conditions can reduce the
machine’s safe operating 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 gear 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
NEVER exceed the rated operating capacity of
the Telescopic Handler as shown on the load
zone charts.
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. 12) must be
adhered to at all times while elevating person-
nel.
