Using The Capacity Chart
The capacity chart is located on the right side wall of the
operator’s compartment. The chart is provided to assist
the operator in determining how far in front, how high
and at what angle a specific load weight can be safely
handled with this vehicle.
This vehicle is equipped with two major indicators that
will assist the operator in determining how to accurately
use the capacity chart. These components are the
boom extend figures and the boom angle indicator.
As the boom is extended, boom extend figures will
appear on the left side of the boom visible to the opera-
tor. The figures are graduated in 4 foot increments.
These figures indicate the point of boom extension and
correspond to the capacity chart. For example, when
the letter "A" first appears, the boom is at the point of
boom extension corresponding to the arc of line "A" on
the capacity chart (Figure 17,18A or 18B).
The boom angle indicator, located on the left side of the
boom, indicates the angle of the boom as shown on the
capacity chart.
To accurately use the capacity chart, the operator must
first determine the following three things:
1. Weight of the load being lifted.
2. Height of the structure where load is to be placed.
3. Distance where the load will ultimately be placed
in front of the vehicle.
Warning
DO NOT exceed rated capacities. Any attempt to
lift or carry loads in excess of those shown on the
capacity chart may cause vehicle tipover, loss of
load or structural damage which could result in
death or serious injury.
Reading the chart —
EXAMPLE:
1. The operator has placed the load onto the forks,
fully retracted the boom, positioned the vehicle
perpendicular to the structure and leveled the
vehicle.
