- Look where you are going and always make sure you have good visibility along the route�
- Use the rear-view mirrors frequently�
- Drive round obstacles�
- Never drive on the edge of a ditch or steep slope�
- It is dangerous to use two telehandlers simultaneously to handle heavy or bulky loads, since this operation requires
particular precautions to be taken� It must only be used exceptionally and after risk analysis�
- The ignition contactor has an emergency stop mechanism in case of an operating anomaly occurring in the case of
telehandlers not fitted with a punch-operated cut-out�
INSTRUCTIONS
- Always drive the telehandler with the forks or attachment to the transport position, i�e� at 300 mm (11�8 in) from the
ground, the boom retracted and the carriage sloping backwards�
- For telehandlers with gearboxes, use the recommended gear (
e 2 - DESCRIPTION: INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS)�
- Select the steering mode appropriate for the use and/or working conditions (e 2 - DESCRIPTION: CONTROL AND
COMMAND INSTRUMENTS) (according to model of telehandler)�
- Release the hand brake�
- Shift the forward/reverse selector to the selected direction of travel and accelerate gradually until the telehandler moves off�
p
Starting and driving a telehandler on a slope can present a very real danger.
The telehandler being parked or stopped, scrupulously follow the following instructions for moving o:
- Press the service brake pedal.
- Engage 1st or 2nd gear and select forward or reverse.
- Check that there is nothing and no-one obstructing the telehandler's path.
- Release the service brake pedal and increase the engine revs.
Using the telehandler when loaded or with a trailer increases the risk. Extreme care is required in this case.
G - STOPPING THE TELEHANDLER
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
- Never leave the ignition key in the telehandler during the operator's absence�
- When the telehandler is stationary, or if the operator has to leave his cab (even for a moment), place the forks or attachment
on the ground, apply the parking brake and place the forward/reverse selector in neutral�
- Make sure that the telehandler is not stopped in any position that will interfere with the traffic flow and at less than one
meter from the track of a railway�
- In the event of prolonged parking on a site, protect the telehandler from bad weather, particularly from frost (check the
level of antifreeze), close and lock all the telehandler accesses (doors, windows, cowls, etc�)�
INSTRUCTIONS
- Park the telehandler on flat ground or on an incline lower than 15 %�
- Set the forward/reverse selector to neutral�
- Engage the parking brake�
- For telehandlers with gearboxes, place the gear lever in neutral�
- Fully retract the boom�
- Lower the forks or attachment to rest on the ground�
- When using an attachment with a grab or jaws, or a bucket with hydraulic opening, close the attachment fully�
- Before stopping the telehandler after a long working period, leave the engine idling for a few moments, to allow the
coolant liquid and oil to lower the temperature of the engine and transmission� Do not forget this precaution, in the
event of frequent stops or warm stalling of the engine, or else the temperature of certain parts will rise significantly due
to the stopping of the cooling system, with the risk of badly damaging such parts�
- Stop the engine with the ignition contactor�
- Remove the ignition key�
- Lock all access to the telehandler (doors, windows, cowls etc)�
