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
PWP’s, to secure the lower portion of the PWP to
the bottom of the carriage, as shown.
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.
Elevating Personnel
This Telescopic Handler is primarily intended for use
as a material handler. It should only be used to elevate
personnel if it is equipped with the (optional) PWP
System when there is no other practical option. If this
machine is to be used to elevate personnel, then use
only an approved work platform, lift personnel only
with the PWP System activated, and follow the
“Mandatory Work Platform Safety Rules” (p. 12 Safety
chapter).
If this Telescopic Handler is equipped with a PWP
System and is to be used for elevating personnel, the
system must be activated, by the "PWP System" mode
switch, which is located in the instrument and switch
panel. To activate the system, apply and hold the ser-
vice brakes on for three or more seconds, and press the
top of the PWP rocker switch. The system is activated
when the lamp in the PWP rocker switch is on conti-
nously.
NOTE: If the light is flashing, apply the service
brakes until the light stops flashing.
When the PWP System is active:
z transmission is de-clutched into Neutral
z parking brake is applied
z rear axle stabilizer cylinder is locked
z auxiliary hydraulic and carriage tilt and swing
functions are disabled
z machine inclination sensor is activated, with
the result that the Telescopic Handler must be level
laterally (side-to-side) and longitudinally (front-to-
back) to within the factory preset limits before the
boom control joystick will function
z remote shutdown switch is activated, with the
result that the switch must be connected and in the
“on” position for the boom control joystick to
function. Depressing the switch will disengage the
boom control joystick, and stop all platform move-
ment. The remote shutdown switch box is supplied

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

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.
