LOADING AND SECURING FOR TRANSPORT

1. Level the telehandler prior to loading.

2. Using a spotter, load the telehandler with boom as low as possible.

3. Once loaded, apply parking brake and lower boom until boom or attachment is

resting on deck. Move all controls to “Neutral,” stop engine and remove ignition
key.

4. Secure machine to deck by passing chains through the designated tie down

points as shown in the figure.

5. Do not tie down front of boom.

Note: The user assumes all responsibility for choosing the proper method of
transportation and tie-down devices, making sure the equipment used is capable of
supporting the weight of the vehicle being transported and that all manufacturer’s
instructions and warnings, regulations and safety rules of their employer, and all
local and federal/provincial laws are followed.

WARNING

TELEHANDLER SLIDE HAZARD. Before loading telehandler for transport,
make sure deck, ramps and telehandler wheels are free of mud, snow and ice.
Failure to do so could cause telehandler to slide, resulting in an accident causing
serious injury or death.
