• Remain at least 10 feet (3 meters), plus an additional
0.4 inches (10 millimeters) for each 1,000 Volts over
50,000 Volts, from active power lines and other power
sources.
• Work site operating directives and/or local or state
codes might require a greater distance.
• Know the maximum height and reach of this Tele-
handler.
Warning
Failure to follow proper safety procedures when lift-
ing, lowering, and traveling with a load could cause
death, serious injury, or property damage.
DO NOT exceed telehandler capacity of 5,100 pounds
(2,313.3 kilograms). The total rated capacity of the
forks being used must equal to, or exceed, the tele-
handler capacity. Forks can bend or break causing
loss of load and could result in death or serious
injury.
Warning
DO NOT exceed the manufacturer's rated load for
any auxiliary attachment. Any attempt to lift or carry
loads in excess of the manufacturer's rated load may
cause telehandler tip over, loss of load, or structural
damage which could result in death, serious injury,
or property damage.
Failure to keep personnel clear of the load area while
the load is being raised or lowered could result in
death or serious injury. DO NOT lift, swing, or move
a load over anyone.
• Review the rated load capacity of each auxiliary at-
tachment before performing any operation.
• Use the correct load chart and NEVER exceed spec-
ified weights and load centers.
• DO NOT exceed the manufacturer's recommended
load capacity.
• DO NOT operate the telehandler with an unsafe load
distribution.
• Adjust the load as necessary, especially for nonstan-
dard loads.
• Use caution when handling loose material that can
fall into the cab.
• Remove overhanging load materials, when possible,
and watch for sliding material.
• DO NOT reach a load over posts or other objects that
can enter the cab, if tipped.

• Avoid sudden stops, starts, or turns.
• Avoid carrying a swinging load. If necessary, secure
the load by attaching it to the telehandler tie-downs
and/or have another person assist with safely steady-
ing the load.
Boom Lift Point
Warning
DO NOT exceed rated capacities. Any attempt to lift
or carry loads in excess of those shown on the load
capacity charts could cause telehandler tip over, loss
of load, or structural damage which could result in
death, serious injury, or property damage.
There is a boom lift point on the underside of the boom
that may be used to lift and carry loads.
There is a dedicated boom lift point load chart on the
telehandler, which should be referenced when using the
boom lift point. Refer to the suspended loads section of
this manual when handling suspended loads for specific
warnings and instructions unique to this type of operation.

Suspended Loads
Warning
Avoid carrying a suspended load. If necessary,
secure the load by attaching it to the telehandler tie-
downs and/or have another person assist with safely
steadying the load. The handling of suspended loads
can introduce dynamic forces drastically affecting
the stability of the telehandler. Grades and sudden
starts, stops, and turns can cause the load to swing
and create a hazard if not stabilized. Swinging loads
can become unstable, and could cause death, serious
injury, or property damage.
1. Do not exceed the load capacity of the telehandler
(as shown on the load chart).
