Work Area Safety
Overturning Hazards
Using the load chart, confirm that
the load is within the rated capacity
of the machine. Do not exceed the
rated load.
The load center of the fork (if equipped) must be
equal to or less than the load center indicated on
the load chart.
All loads shown on the load chart are based on
the machine being on firm ground, the frame being
level, the forks being positioned evenly on the
carriage, the load being centered on the forks, the
tires being properly sized and properly inflated, and
the telehandler being in good operating condition.
If using accessories, read, understand and obey the
decals, instructions and manuals with the accessory.
Do not raise the load unless the ground can support
all forces imposed by the machine.
Do not lower a load without retracting the boom first.
Do not operate the machine if the load chart is missing.
Do not exceed the rated capacity for each
configuration.
Do not raise the boom unless the
machine is level. The machine level
indicator should be at zero degrees.
Do not level the machine using the frame sway
control unless the boom angle indicator is at zero
degrees or less.
Do not use the sway control to position
an elevated load.
Do not raise a load and then drive to position it.
When driving, keep the boom at
or below horizontal and keep the
load close to the ground.
Operate the machine at speeds that will keep the
load under control. Start and stop movements
smoothly.
Do not raise a load unless the load
is properly positioned or secured on
the forks or approved attachment.
Do not operate the machine in strong or gusty winds.
Do not increase the surface area of the carriage or
load. Increasing the area exposed to the wind will
decrease machine stability.
Use extreme care and slow speeds while driving the
machine in the travel position across uneven terrain,
debris, unstable or slippery surfaces and near holes
and drop-offs.
Do not alter or disable machine components that in
any way affect safety and stability.
Do not replace items critical to machine stability with
items of different weight or specification.
Do not replace factory-installed tires with tires of
different specification or ply rating.
If using accessories, read, understand and obey the
decals, instructions and manuals with the accessory.
