The information in this Operator’s Manual was written to give the owner/operator assistance in preparing, adjust-
ing, maintaining and servicing of the Telehandler. More important, this manual provides an operating plan for safe
and proper use of the machine. Major points of safe operation are detailed in the SAFETY chapter of this manu-
al.
The Mustang Manufacturing Company asks that you read and understand the contents of this
manual COMPLETELY and become familiar with the machine, before operating it.
This Telehandler is primarily intended for use as a material handler. However, it may be equipped with an option-
al system: the Work Platform Safety (WPS) System, which is intended for use when lifting personnel. When there
is no other practical option available, this machine, when equipped with the WPS System, is approved for use to
lift personnel, but only
with an approved work platform, with the WPS System activated, and in full compliance
with the “Mandatory Work Platform Safety Rules” (see SAFETY chapter).
The use of this Telehandler is subject to certain hazards that cannot be eliminated by mechanical means, but only
by the exercise of intelligence, care and common sense. It is therefore essential to have competent and careful oper-
ators, who are not physically or mentally impaired, and who are thoroughly trained in the safe operation of the
equipment and the handling of the loads.
Throughout this manual information is provided that is set in italic type and introduced by the word IMPORTANT
or NOTE. Be sure to read carefully and comply with the message or directive given. Following this information
will improve operating or maintenance efficiency, help to avoid breakdowns or damage, and extend the machine’s
life. A chart of standard hardware torques is located in the back of this manual.
A storage pocket on the back of the seat is provided for storing the Operator’s Manual. After using the manual,
please return it to the pocket and keep it with the unit at all times! If this machine is resold, Mustang Manufacturing
Company recommends that this manual be given to the new owner.
If this machine was purchased “used,” or if the owner’s addrress has changed, please provide your Mustang deal-
er or Mustang Manufacturing Company Service Department with the owner’s name and current address, along
with the machine model and serial number. This will allow the registered owner information to be updated, so that
the owner can be notified directly in case of an important product issue, such as a safety update program.
“Right” and “left” are determined from a position sitting on the seat and facing forward.
Our wide dealership network stands ready to provide any assistance required, including providing genuine
Mustang service parts. All parts should be obtained from or ordered through your Mustang dealer. Give complete
