ground. Provide ample clearance
for personnel to guide the load
safely.
SLINGING LOADS is
acceptable only when the load
is appropriately attached to
the lifting hook, a jib boom or
the heel of a tilted fork, and the
precautions outlined in Section
5.14 are followed.
KEEP OTHERS AWAY at all
times during operation.
CHECK lights for proper function

properly tightened.
IT IS PERMITTED to install
and utilize a platform for elevating
personnel provided the conditions
mentioned in Section 5.16 are
met.
DO NOT alter or disable safety devices.
DO NOT burn or drill holes in forks. Modifying any
part of telehandler or attachment affects its capacity

DO NOT try to start the telehandler by pushing or
towing. Such operation may cause severe damage to
the transmission (refer to Section 5 – Operation).
IF DRIVING ON ROADS OPEN TO PUBLIC
TRAFFIC respect the local regulations.
THE OPERATOR’S CAB provides a falling object
protection structure (FOPS) and a rollover protection
structure (ROPS). Do not make any modication to
this structure. If damaged, the cab cannot be repaired.
It must be replaced.
STUNT driving and horseplay are prohibited.
ALWAYS USE FRONT steering when traveling at
high speeds; i.e. on highways and public roads.
DO NOT change steering mode while the telehandler
is traveling. Change the steering mode only when
telehandler is stopped.
ALWAYS look in the direction of travel. Reduce
speed and be especially careful when traveling in
reverse and/or turning. Bring the telehandler to a
complete stop before changing the direction of travel.
STAY CLEAR of pinch points and rotating parts on
the material handler. Getting caught in a pinch point
or a moving part can cause serious injury or death.
Before performing any maintenance on telehandler,
follow the shutdown procedure on Section 5.10.
DO NOT position the telehandler against another
object to steady the load.
DO NOT operate on slippery surfaces not capable of
providing adequate traction to stop, drive or steer the
telehandler.
SHUT DOWN by positioning the telehandler in a
safe location. Lower boom to ground, apply the park
brake, move all controls to neutral and allow engine
to idle for 3 to 5 minutes. Stop engine and remove
ignition key to prevent unauthorized use.
