or towing. Such operation may cause severe
damage to the transmission - Refer to Section 2.
• 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 or public roads.

telehandler is traveling. Change the steering
mode only when telehandler is stopped, and
wheels aligned straight ahead.

speed and be careful especially when traveling in
reverse and/or turning. Bring the telehandler to a
complete stop before changing the direction of

• 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
