Safety Practices

Model 10054

Rev. 11/03

DO NOT exceed the rated lift capacity of the vehicle as structural
damage and unstable conditions will result.

To ensure that the vehicle is positioned in the most stable condition
before operating an attachment, use the frame sway control (frame tilt)
to level the vehicle. The vehicle is level when the frame level indicator
gauge reaches (0°) zero degrees.

If the vehicle cannot be leveled using the frame sway control, reposition
the vehicle.

Frame swaying left or right with the boom raised above horizontal is
dangerous. Always use the frame sway control to level the vehicle
before raising the boom above horizontal, with or without a load. If the
vehicle cannot be leveled using frame sway control, reposition the
vehicle.

Lowering outriggers over holes or on soft terrain can compromise the
stability of the vehicle which could result in vehicle tipover. For optimum
stability, lower the outriggers just far enough until the front of the vehicle
starts to raise and maintains a firm footing.

NEVER attempt to move the vehicle after the outriggers have been
lowered.
