Ü DO NOT exceed the rated capacity of the tele-
scopic handler as equipped for handling suspend-
ed loads. The weight of the rigging must be
included as part of the load.
Ü During transport, the length of the rigging
between the attachment and load should be as
short as possible to reduce booms height and
movement. DO NOT raise the load more than 12
inches (305 mm) above the ground, or raise the
boom more than 45 degrees.
Ü Only lift the load vertically – NEVER drag it hor-
izontally.
Ü Use multiple pickup points on the load when pos-
sible. Use taglines to restrain the load from
swinging and rotating.
Ü Start, travel, turn and stop SLOWLY to prevent
the load from swinging. DO NOT exceed walking
speed.
Ü Inspect rigging before use. Rigging must be in
good condition and in the U.S. comply with
OSHA regulation §1910.184, “Slings,” or
§1926.251, “Rigging equipment for material han-
dling.”
Ü Rigging equipment attached to the forks must be
secured such that it cannot move either sideways
or fore and aft. The load center must not exceed
24 inches (610 mm).
Ü DO NOT lift the load with anyone on the load,
rigging or lift equipment, and NEVER lift the
load over personnel.
Ü Beware of the wind, which can cause suspended
loads to swing, even with taglines.
Ü DO NOT attempt to use frame-leveling to com-
pensate for load swing.
Servicing Safety Reminders
Ü ALWAYS be aware of and avoid pinch point areas
on the machine, such as wheels-to-frame, cylin-
ders-to-frame, boom and attachment tool-to-
frame.
Ü NEVER attempt to by-pass the keyswitch to start
the engine. ONLY use the jump-starting proce-
dure detailed in the Service and Storage chapter.
Ü NEVER use your hands to search for hydraulic
fluid leaks. Use a piece of paper or cardboard.
Escaping fluid under pressure can be invisible and
can penetrate the skin, causing serious injury. If
any fluid is injected into your skin, see a doctor at
once. Injected fluid MUST be surgically removed
by a doctor familiar with this type of injury or
gangrene may result.
Ü ALWAYS wear safety glasses with side shields
when striking metal against metal. In addition, it
is recommended that a softer (chip-resistant)
material be used to cushion the blow. Failure to
heed could lead to serious injury to the eyes or
other parts of the body.
Ü DO NOT refill the fuel tank when the engine is
hot. Allow engine to cool down before refilling to
prevent hot engine parts from igniting the fuel if
it should spill or splash.
Ü DO NOT smoke while filling the fuel tank, work-
ing on the fuel or hydraulic systems, or working
around the battery.
Ü DO NOT fill the fuel tank completely. Allow
room for expansion. Maintain control of the fuel
filler nozzle when filling the tank. Use the correct
fuel grade for the operating season.
Ü Static electricity can produce dangerous sparks at
the fuel-filling nozzle. Do not wear polyester, or
polyester-blend clothing while fueling. Before
fueling, touch the metal surface of the machine
away from the fuel fill to dissipate any built-up
static electricity. Do not re-enter the machine but
stay near the fuel filling point during refueling to
minimize the build-up of static electricity. Do not
use cell phones while fueling. Make sure the stat-
