Non-Suspended Load

DO NOT drive with boom raised.

Suspended Load

• Tether suspended loads to restrict movement.

DO NOT raise the load more than 11.8 in (300 mm) above ground surface or the

boom more than 45°.

• Weight of all rigging (slings, etc.) must be included as part of load.

• Start, travel, turn and stop slowly to prevent load from swinging.

• When driving with the boom raised, DO NOT exceed walking speed.

• Beware of wind. Wind can cause a suspended load to swing and cause

dangerous side loads - even with tag lines.

DO NOT attempt to use telehandler frame-leveling to compensate for load swing.

• Keep heavy part of load closest to attachment.

• Never drag the load; lift vertically.
