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

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
lever are fully engaged.
o
Hydraulic attachments 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 tight
(if equipped).
