Travel Hazard

• Steering characteristics differ between steer modes. Identify the steer mode

settings of the telehandler being operated.

DO NOT change steer modes while traveling. Steer modes must be changed

while telehandler is stationary.

• Visually verify proper wheel alignment after each steer mode change.

• Ensure that adequate clearance is provided for both rear tail swing and front fork

swing.

• Look out for and avoid other personnel, machinery and vehicles in the area. Use

a spotter if you DO NOT have a clear view.

• Before moving be sure of a clear path and sound horn.

• When driving, retract boom and keep boom/attachment as low as possible while

maintaining visibility of mirrors and maximum visibility of path of travel.

• Always look in the direction of travel.

• Always check boom clearances carefully before driving underneath overhead

obstructions. Position attachment/load to clear obstacles.

• When driving in high speed, use only front wheel steer (if steering modes are

selectable).

• Telehandlers equipped with solid tires should not be used in applications

requiring excessive roading or driving extended distances. In the event an
application requires excessive roading or driving expanded distances, JLG
recommends the use of telehandlers not equipped with solid tires.
