SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
p
Operators' attention is drawn to the risks involved in using the telehandler, in particular:

ground, the boom retracted and the carriage sloping backwards�
- Only carry loads which are balanced and properly anchored to avoid any risk of a load falling off�
- Ensure that palettes, cases, etc, are in good order and suitable for the load to be lifted�
- Familiarise yourself with the telehandler on the terrain where it will be used�
- Ensure that the service brakes are working properly�
- The loaded telehandler must not travel at speeds in excess of 5 km/h. (3.1mph).
