Transporting a Suspended Load
• Travel in accordance with the requirements set forth in Section 1 - General
Safety Practices and Section 5 - Attachments.
• For additional requirements, refer to the appropriate capacity chart in the
operator cab.
Important things to remember:
• Ensure the boom is fully retracted.
• Never raise the load more than 11.8 in (300 mm) above ground surface or the
boom more than 45°.
• The combination of frame leveling and load could cause the telehandler to tip
over.
• The guide men and operator must remain in constant communication (verbal or
hand) and be in visual contact with the operator at all times.
• Never place the guide men between the suspended load and the telehandler.
• Only transport the load at walking speed, 0.9 mph (0.4 m/s), or less.
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 so load is no more than 11.8 in (300 mm) above ground surface
and boom/or boom is raised no more than 45°.
4. Observe level indicator to determine whether machine must be leveled prior to
lifting load. Level machine with frame level joystick (see page 3-9 or page 3-11)
or if equipped, outrigger joysticks (see page 3-10).
The telehandler is designed to permit leveling the main frame 8° to left or right to
compensate for uneven ground conditions.
