A- GENERAL SAFETY
• Transport the load as low as possible.
Attach the suspended loads to restrict
movement.
• Comply with the capacity charts displayed in the
cab.
• The weight of all riggings (slings, etc…) must be
included as part of theload weight.
• Start, travel, turn and stop slowly to prevent the
load from tipping over.
• Beware of the wind. The wind can cause a
suspended load to tip over and generate
destabilising side forces (even withtag lines).
Do not try to use the telehandler's dumping function to return the load to horizontal position.
• Keep the heaviest part of the load closest to the
attachment.
• Never drag the load. Lift it vertically.
• Maintain proper tire pressure at all times.
Otherwise, the machine could tip over.
Do not ballast the tires.

3.2 - ELECTRICAL HAZARDS
• Always check for power lines before raising the boom.
• Always wear the seat belt.
Do not hang your head, your arms, your hands, your legs or any other parts of your body out of the cab.
If the telehandler starts to tip over:
• Stay in the machine.
• Keep your seat belt fastened.
• Hold on tightly.
• Lean away from the point of impact.
Trying to escape from a tipping machine could result in death or serious injury.
• This machine is not insulated and does not
offer any protection in the event of proximity to
or contact with electrical current.
Never operate the handler in an area where overhead power lines, overhead or underground cables or
other power sources may exist without ensuring that the appropriate utility company has de-energized
the lines.

3.3 - TRAVEL HAZARDS
• The turning radii change according to the
steering mode selected (2 or 4 steer wheels).
• Ensure that adequate clearance is provided for
pivoting the rear tail and the front fork.
The rear offset is larger in "4 steer wheels" mode.
Look out for and avoid other personnel, machinery and vehicles in the area. Use a spotter in the event
of bad visibility.
• Before moving the machine, ensure that the
path is clear and sound the horn.
• When driving, retract the boom and keep the
boom and the attachment as low as possible.
• Maintain visibility of the mirrors and optimal
visibility of the path of travel.

3.4 - LOAD FALLING HAZARDS
The forks must be centred under the load and on the fork carriage and spaced apart as far as
possible.
3.5 - MECHANICAL ATTACHMENT LOCKING DEVICES
• Ensure that the person-lifting platform is securely fastened to the accessory locking device. Follow
the installation procedure set out in Section E.
• Ensure that the machine is placed on a firm and level surface.
• Activate the parking brake. Blocking the wheels is also recommended.
• Level the handler both sideways (chassis swaying) and lengthways (accessory tilt).
• Ensure that there is no-one under the accessory.
• Do not lift or transport anyone in the bucket or on the forks..
Never suspend loads from the forks or from any other parts of the fork carriage.
Do not drill holes in the fork(s).
Do not heat or solder the forks.
Never tilt the platform forward, rearward or sway the machine when the platform is occupied. Serious
injury or death could result.
Always ensure that the fork carriage or the attachment is correctly positioned on the boom and is
secured by a lock pin and a retainer pin. Incorrect installation could result in the fork carriage /
attachment / load disengaging, causing death or serious injury.

3.6 - DRIVING HAZARDS ON SLOPES
• Avoid excessively steep slopes or unstable surfaces. To avoid tipping over, do not drive across
excessively steep slopes under any circumstances.
• Avoid turning on a slope. Never engage "inching" or shift to "Neutral" when going downhill.
To maintain sufficient traction and braking
capabilities, travel on slopes as follows:
• When the machine is unloaded, the rear of the
machine is the "heavy end". Drive with the forks
pointed downhill.
• When it is loaded, the front of the machine is
the "heavy end". Drive with the forks pointed
uphill.
• To avoid the machine racing on slopes,
downshift to a lower gear and use the service
brake as necessary to maintain a slow speed.
Do not shift to neutral to avoid coasting downhill.
Do not park on a slope without having blocked the machine wheels.
