Placing a Load
Before placing any load be sure that:
• The landing point can safely support the weight of the load.
• The landing point is level; front to back and side to side.
• Use the capacity chart to determine safe boom extension range. See “Use of the
Capacity Chart” on page 5-4.
• Align forks at the level load is to be placed, then extend boom slowly until load is
just above area where it is to be placed.
• Lower the boom until the load rests in position and the forks are free to retract.
Disengaging a Load
Once the load has been placed safely at the landing point, proceed as follows:
1. With the forks free from the weight of the load, the boom can be retracted
and/or the telehandler can be backed away from under the load if surface will
not change level condition of telehandler.
2. Lower the carriage.
3. The telehandler can now be driven from the landing location to continue work.
