Operation
Boom Lift Point
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.
The telehandler is equipped with 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.

Warning
Suspended Loads
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 Telehandler's load capacity (as shown on
the load chart).
2. Only lift the load vertically, and never drag it horizontally.
3. Transport the load with the bottom of the load and the
boom as low as possible.
4. With the load elevated, move the Telehandler slowly and
cautiously. Only move the Telehandler to the extent needed
to raise, transport, and place the load.
5. Use guy lines to restrain load swing if possible.
Pick Up A Load
1. Use correct load chart to review the rated load capacity of
the carriage or auxiliary attachment being used. NEVER ex-
ceed specified weights and load centers.
2. Approach the load slowly and squarely with the fork tips
straight and level.
3. Adjust the spacing of the forks so they engage the pallet
or load at its maximum width. NEVER use just one fork to lift
a load.
4. Insert forks under the load until the load is against the fork
frame.
5. Tilt the forks back, and raise the boom slightly to secure
the load.
