Picking up a Load
1. Shift transmission lever to neutral and apply
parking brake.
2. Check that the telehandler is level using the level

the width of the load. This increases the stability
of the load and the lift.

until the forks are perpendicular to the load.
5. Deploy outriggers for
maximum stability of
telehandler.
6. Extend and lower the
boom to insert the forks
under load and raise it 5 to 10 inches.
7. Tilt forks backwards.
Fully retract the boom
