Safety Precautions
SUSPENDED LOAD HAZARDS
•
A suspended load has a dynamic, and therefore
unpredictable, effect on machine stability, so
extreme caution should always be exercised
when operating with suspended loads.
•
Only lift the load when the telehandler is on firm
level ground.
•
Do not operate the machine while people are
under a suspended load.
•
All movements of the load must be accomplished
at lowest possible speed.
•
Do not lift loads when wind speeds exceed 20
mph (32 kmh).
•
Level the telehandler before lifting the load.
•
Use guide ropes or tag lines by qualified
personnel to help control the load and prevent it
from swinging.
•
Do not attempt to use the telehandler frame-
leveling to compensate for a swinging load.
•
Never drag the load.
•
Do not try to move fixed or obstructed loads.
•
Only lift a load vertically; do not pull a load
horizontally as it could cause excessive swinging
of the load.
•
When visibility is or could be obstructed, the
operator shall use alternative/additional means
to safely transport the load.
•
Use of additional personnel to direct the operator
in his movements as well as surrounding ground
traffic.
•
Speed shall be limited by any conditions that
could cause any unexpected movement of the
load, or jeopardize the safe transport of the load.
•
The boom shall be fully retracted during travel.
•
Only travel on solid surfaces.
•
Start, travel, turn and stop slowly to prevent the
load from becoming unstable or swing.
•
Do not exceed walking speed.
•
The load shall be transported as low to the ground
as practical.
•
Do not use any controls for re-positioning the load
when traveling. Come to a gradual and complete
stop before attempting to re-position the load.

LLMI/ LLMC HAZARDS
The LLMI/LLMC will only function to the design
specification:
•
when the truck is static;
•
when the truck is on consolidated, stable and
level ground;
•
when the truck is performing loading or placing
functions;
•
when the LLMI/LLMC is activated (not
overridden);
The LLMI will only warn the operator in the event of
inadequate stability in the longitudinal plane in the
forward direction.
The LLMI/LLMC is not intended for warning of the
risk of overturning in the case of:
•
a sudden overload;
•
travelling with the load in the elevated position;
•
travelling on rough terrain or on grounds with
obstacles and holes;
•
travelling across a slope or turning on a slope;
•
driving in bends too fast or too sharp;
Adjustments affecting the setting of the LLMI/LLMC
shall be performed only by authorised personnel.
