Frame Leveling

Use of the frame sway control with the boom
raised above horizontal could cause tip over
resulting in death or injury. Always use the
frame sway control to level the telehandler
BEFORE raising the boom above horizontal.
If the telehandler cannot be leveled using the frame sway
control, do not attempt to raise or place load. Reposition
telehandler or have the surface leveled.
The frame sway control handle has variable motions from the
center that control frame sway (right and left).
