Operation
The boom angle indicator is located on the left side of the
boom and is visible from the operator's seat. Use the boom
angle indicator to determine the boom angle when referring
to load capacity charts.
NOTE: The boom angle indicator is a plumb arrow with
angular graduations from -2.30 to +690.

Reading Load Capacity Charts
To accurately read the load capacity charts, you must
determine three (3) things:
•
Weight of the load being lifted
•
Height of structure where load is to be placed
•
Distance from front tires where load will be placed
For example:
1. The operator determines load weight and makes sure load
does not exceed fork, attachment, or boom capacity.
The load is 3,000 pounds (1,360 kg)
2. The operator safely moves the load to a loading position.
•
places forks under load
•
tilts and raises load safely
•
fully retracts boom
•
drives forklift to position perpendicular to structure
3. The operator determines height of structure where load is
to be placed.
The structure height is 10 feet (3.04 meters) from ground level.
4. The operator determines distance from front tires where
load will be placed.
The distance in front of forklift where load will be placed is 7
feet (2.13 meters).
5. Operator reads load capacity chart for attachment carriage
to learn it will be safe to place the load at any boom angle with
the boom extend letter "D" showing.
