GENERAL MACHINE OPERATION
Take time to check the Telescopic Handler to be sure
all systems are in good operating condition. Perform
the following steps before starting the machine for the
first time each day:
1. Check the engine oil and coolant, transmission oil
and hydraulic oil levels.
2. Be sure weekly lubrication has been done.
3. Visually inspect for leaks, broken or malfunction-
ing parts. Be sure all caps, covers and safety
shields are in place.
4. Check tires for cuts, bulges, nails, correct pressure,
loose wheel nuts, etc.
5. Inspect the work area. Be sure you know where
you will make load pickups, lifts, and turns. Look
over the terrain of the jobsite for holes, obstacles,
slippery surfaces, soft or deep mud.
6. Check clearances of ramps, doorways and
passage-ways. Check overhead clearances if you
will travel and place loads near power or telephone
lines.
If the machine is found to be in need of repair or in any
way unsafe, or contributes to an unsafe condition, the
matter shall be reported immediately to the user’s des-
ignated authority. The machine must NOT be operated
until it has been restored to a safe operating condition.
WARNING
Exhaust fumes can kill. Ensure proper ventila-
tion when starting indoors or in enclosed
areas.
Use proper hand holds, NOT the steering
wheel or control levers when mounting and
dismounting.
NEVER operate the machine with safety
guards or covers removed.
Over-inflated tires can explode and cause
injury or death. Tire repairs MUST be made
only by authorized personnel using proper
tools and equipment.
