Safety
in serious injury. The Telehandler is designed for the safety
of the operator only.
NEVER use crab or four wheel (4W) steering for
traveling at high speeds. Use only two wheel
(2W) steering for higher speed travel and slow
the Telehandler before turning. Rapid turning
while using crab or four wheel steering can
cause tip over which could result in death or serious injury.
DO NOT travel with an elevated boom.
Retract the boom fully. Lower the boom as
low as practical for proper visibility. Maintain
enough ground clearance for conditions.
Traveling with an elevated boom can cause
tip over, which could result in death or serious injury.
Allow for adequate clearance between the
attachment and other objects when turning.
The attachment extends beyond the front of
the Telehandler. The operator must be aware
of the maximum sweep of any attachment
being used to avoid hitting personnel and other objects in
the area and to prevent death, serious injury, or property
damage.
To prevent death, serious injury, or property
damage, make sure the Telehandler comes
to a complete stop before moving the travel
select lever. A sudden change in direction of
travel, while carrying a load, could reduce sta-
bility and/or cause the load to shift or fall.
DO NOT shift through multiple gears with a
single turn of the gear select lever. Allow the
engine speed to slow down before shifting to
the next lower gear. Improper use of the gear
select lever could cause transmission damage
or Telehandler tip over/roll over and result in death or seri-
ous injury.
Operate the Telehandler for maximum
stability. Unstable Telehandlers can tip over,
resulting in death, serious injury, or property
damage.
following these and other appropriate
guidelines:
•
Adjust speed for terrain and conditions.
•
Avoid obstacles by driving around them rather than
over them, when possible.
•
Start, stop, travel, steer, and brake smoothly.
