Boom Extend Letters
Figure 6.22 – Boom Extend Letters
For example, when letter "A" first appears, the boom
extension corresponds to the arc of line "A" throughout
all the load capacity charts.
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.
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.
XR5919-A
The load is 2,430 pounds (1,102 kg)
2. The operator safely moves the load to a loading
position.
y Places forks under load
y Tilts and raises load safely
• Fully retracts boom
• Positions the telehandler perpendicular to the
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 telehandler where load will
be placed is 7 feet (2.13 meters).
5. Operator reads load capacity chart for the attachment
carriage to learn that it will be safe to place the load
at any boom angle with the boom extend letter "D"
showing.
