Transporting a 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 5 - Attachments.
• Boom ride control mode (see page 3-15) is recommended for transport of a load
over longer distances. When activated, the boom ride control system acts to
cushion boom movement.
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. Observe level indicator to determine whether machine must be leveled prior to
lifting load. Level machine with frame level joystick (see page 3-12) or outrigger
joysticks (see page 3-14).
4. Move boom/attachment to 4 ft (1,2 m) off ground.
(AUS - Move boom so forks are no more than 11.8 in (300 mm) above ground
surface.)
Important things to remember:
• Never raise the boom/attachment more than 4 ft (1,2 m) above ground unless
telehandler is level.
(AUS - Never raise the forks more than 11.8 in (300 mm) above ground surface
unless telehandler is level.)
• The combination of frame leveling and load could cause the telehandler to tip
over.
