Load Safety
A
Failure
to
follow
proper
safety
procedures
when
lifting,
lowering,
and traveling
with
a load can cause
property
damage, injury,
or
death.
DO
NOT
exceed
vehicle
capacity
of
11,000
pounds
(4989.5 Kilograms). The total rated
capacity
of
the
forks
being used
must
equal
or
exceed vehicle capacity. Forks can break caus-
ing
loss
of
load and
possible
injury
or
death.
DO
NOT exceed the
manufacturer's
~
rated load
for
any
auxiliary
attach-
L/
ment.
Any
attempt
to
lift
or
carry
~
loads in excess
of
the
manufacturer's
rated load may cause vehicle
tip
over,
loss
of
load,
or
structural
damage
which
could
result in
injury
or
death.
(!)
Failure
to
keep personnel clear
of
the
load area
while
the
load is being
• raised
or
lowered can result in
injury
or
death.
DO
NOT lift, swing,
or
move
a load
over
anyone
or
over
a vehicle
cab.
o Review
the
rated load capacity
of
each auxil-
iary attachment before performing any opera-
tion.
o Use the
correct
load
chart
and NEVER exceed
specified weights and load centers.
o
DO
NOT exceed the
manufacturer's
recom-
mended load capacity.
o
DO
NOT operate the vehicle with an unsafe
load
distribution.
o
Adjust
the
load
as
necessary, especially
for
nonstandard loads.
o Use caution when handling loose material
that
can fall
into
the cab.
o Remove overhanging load materials, when
possible, and watch
for
sliding
material.
o
DO
NOT reach a load
over
posts
or
other
objects
that
can enter the cab,
if
tipped.
o Avoid sudden stops, starts,
or
turns.
o
Avoid
carrying a sWinging load. If necessary,
secure
the

Safety
Attachments
Improper
connection
of
an auxiliary attachment
can result in
injury
or
death. Attachments
not
locked into place can break free and fall on the
operator
or
other
personnel near
the
vehicle.
o Make sure attachment
locking
devices are
always in place.

DO
NOT operate the vehicle until
you
have
positive
indication
that
the
coupler
pin and

fully
engaged.

have a
maximum
hydraulic pressure rating. Failure
to
make
sure
the
attachment is equal
to
or
slightly
greater than 3,000 psi (206.8 bar),
which
is the
maximum pressure
of
the
vehicle auxiliary
hydraulic
system
at
the
qUick-disconnect
couplers, could result in
injury
or
death.
o Make
sure
all hydraulic
connections
are
