Placing a Suspended Load

Before placing any load be sure that:
• The landing point can safely support the weight of the load.
• The landing point is level; front to back and side to side.
• Use the capacity chart to determine safe boom extension range. See "Use of the
Capacity Chart" on page 5-5.
• Align load at the level load is to be placed, then position boom slowly until load is just
above area where it is to be placed.
• Ensure that the guide persons and operator remain in constant communication
(verbal or hand) when placing the load.

Disengaging a Suspended Load

• Never place the guide persons between the suspended load and the telehandler.
• Once at the destination of the load, ensure to bring the telehandler to a complete stop
and apply the park brake prior to disengagement of the lifting devices and tethers.
