- Travelling on a longitudinal slope:
• Drive and brake gently�
• Moving without load: Forks or attachment facing downhill�
• Moving with load: Forks or attachment facing uphill�
- Take into account the telehandler’s dimensions and its load before trying to negotiate a narrow or low passageway�
- Never climb up onto a loading platform without first checking the following:
• It has been properly installed and secured�
• The unit to which it is connected (wagon, lorry, etc�) can not shift�
• This platform is prescribed for the total weight of the telehandler to be loaded�
• This platform is prescribed for the size of the telehandler�
- Never climb up onto a foot bridge, floor or freight lift, without being certain that they are prescribed for the weight and
size of the telehandler to be loaded and without having checked that they are in sound working order�
- Be careful in the area of loading bays, trenches, scaffolding, soft ground and manholes�
- Make sure the ground is stable and firm under the wheels and/or stabilizers before lifting or removing the load� If necessary,
add sufficient wedging under the stabilizers�
- Make sure that the scaffolding, loading platform, pilings or ground is capable of bearing the load�
- Never stack loads on uneven ground, they may tip over�
p
If the load or the attachment must remain above a structure for a long time, there is the risk that it will rest on the
structure because of the boom descending owing to the oil in the cylinders cooling down.
To eliminate this risk:
- Regularly check the distance between the load or the attachment and the structure and readjust this if necessary.
- If possible, use the telehandler with the oil temperature as close as possible to ambient temperature.
- When working near aerial lines, ensure that the safety distance is sufficient between the working area of the telehandler
and the aerial line�
p
You must consult your local electrical agency.
You could be electrocuted or seriously injured if you operate or park the telehandler too close to power cables.
In the event of high winds, do not carry out handling work that jeopardises the stability of the telehandler and its load,
particularly if the load catches the wind badly.
- Prevent fire risks associated with use in dusty and flammable conditions (e�g� straw, flour, sawdust, organic waste, etc�)�
D - VISIBILITY
- The safety of people within the telehandler's working area, as well as that of the telehandler itself and the operator are
depend on good operator visibility of the telehandler's immediate vicinity in all situations and at all times�
- This telehandler has been designed to allow good operator visibility (direct or indirect by means of rear-view mirrors)
of the immediate vicinity of the telehandler while travelling with no load and with the boom in the transport position�
- Special precautions must be taken if the size of the load restricts visibility towards the front:
• moving in reverse,
• site layout,
• assisted by a person directing the manoeuvre (while standing outside the telehandler's area of travel), making sure
to keep this person clearly in view at all times,
• in any case, avoid reversing over long distances�
- Certain special attachments may require the telehandler to travel with the boom in the raised position� In such cases,
visibility on the right hand side is restricted, and special precautions must be taken:
• site layout,
• assisted by a person directing the manoeuvre (while standing outside the telehandler's area of travel)�
• replacement of a suspended load by a load on a pallet�
- If visibility of your road is inadequate, ask someone to assist by directing the manoeuvre (while standing outside the
telehandler's area of travel), making sure to keep this person clearly in view at all times�
- Keep all components affecting visibility in a clean, properly adjusted state and in good working order (e�g� windscreens,
windows, windscreen wipers, windscreen washers, driving and work lights, rear-view mirrors)�
