Transporting The Load
After engaging the load and resting it against the backrest, tilt the load back to
position it for travel. Travel in accordance with the requirements set forth in Section
1 - General Safety Practices and Section 4 - Attachments.
Leveling Procedure
1. Position machine in best location to lift or place load.
2. Apply parking brake and move transmission control lever to NEUTRAL.
3. Move boom/attachment to 1,2 m (4 ft) off ground.
4. Observe level indicator to determine whether machine must be leveled and level
machine with switch, see page 2-25 for details.
Important things to remember:
• Never raise the boom/attachment more than 1,2 m (4 ft) above ground unless
telehandler is level.
• The combination of side sway and load could cause the telehandler to tip over.
The telehandler is designed to permit swaying the main frame 9° to left or right to
compensate for uneven ground conditions.
