Before Use:
Make sure the operator is well qualied to operate the
specic telehandler model to be used, has read and
understands this manual and has reviewed the telehandler
operator’s manual for any additional requirements,
limitations, restrictions, or additional safety procedures
prescribed by the telehandler manufacturer when using
this type of attachment. The telehandler operator must
also be properly certied under OSHA requirements to
operate the telehandler to be used.
Inspect the Truss Boom to make sure it is in good condition.
There must not be any broken welds, deformation of the
steel tube or other component, nor any cracks in the steel.
Inspect the pintle-hitch to make sure it is complete, and in
good condition. Make sure the Truss Boom quick-tach is
fully compatible with the specic telehandler being used.
Make sure the quick-tach retaining pin(s) or attachment is
properly engaged. Check that all decals are in place and
legible. The following decals are required: “Product Label”,
“Empty Weight”, and “Rated Lift Capacity”. Replacement
decals are available from a Star dealer. If any defects or
damage are found discontinue use until corrections or a
safety assessment can be made by qualied personnel.
Make sure personnel involved understand any hand
signals that will be required and all involved personnel
understand what will be required of them.
Make sure the travel path is clear of obstructions and that
adequate clearance will be maintained from all power
lines.
Rated Capacities:
The rated capacity as shown in specications also appears
on the Truss Boom decal. Be aware that this capacity is
for the Truss Boom itself and does not in any way reect
the capacity of the telehandler. Refer to the telehandler’s
load chart for a respective length Truss Boom and the
telehandler’s operator’s manual for any limitations and/or
restrictions when using this type of attachment.
Never exceed the rated capacities of the truss boom except
for the purpose of a test and then do not exceed 125% of
its rated capacity. Also make sure that the load rating for
slings, chains, or straps used with the Truss Boom are
equal to or exceed the rating of both the telehandler and
Truss Boom, if not; always limit the load to the lowest rated
part of the lifting system.

Use:
When using the Truss Boom it must remain level or tilted
slightly upward. The Truss Boom is designed for vertical
lift only and must not be used to pull a load. When lifting a
load, the area below the lift should be clear of personnel.
All personnel must maintain a safe distance away from
danger area should a failure occur.
Caution:
1. Risks are high for serious injury or death when
working around suspended loads. The operator must
avoid carrying the load over people and it is best to
have a 10 foot clear radius. This requires that no one
is allowed to be within 10 feet of the area in which the
load would fall if a failure occurred.
2. Do not allow anyone to ride on the truss boom nor on
the load being carried.
3. Do not make any repairs or modications to the
Truss Boom without written authorization from the
manufacturer. Replacement of pintle-hitch and decals
does not require authorization.
Safety Precautions:
1. Before elevating the load, make sure the telehandler
boom is level - not leaning to the right or left. Do not
use the Truss Boom when operating on a side slope.
2. Before the load is raised make sure slings, chains,
or straps are properly secured and are not twisted
around each other or entangled.
3. The load must be picked up so that it is equally
balanced and hangs level.
4. When lifting a load, guard against shock loading by
taking up the slack in slings or straps slowly. Prevent
jerking at the beginning of the lift, and accelerate or
decelerate slowly.
5. Do not use the Truss Boom to drag or pull a load.
6. Do not leave suspended loads unattended.
7. Take care that the load does not swing or come in
contact with an obstruction.
8. Keep all personnel clear while the load is being raised,
moved, or lowered. Telehandler operator should be
watchful of the load at all times, especially when it is
in motion.
9. Never allow more than one person to give signals to
the telehandler operator except to warn of a hazardous
situation.
10. Never raise or carry the load higher than necessary.
11. Never allow anyone to work under a suspended load
12. Never exceed rated capacity of any part of the lifting
system.
13. Never allow anyone to ride on Truss Boom or on the
load being carried.
14.Telehandler operator must be properly trained
and have required certications.
15.Before using the Truss Boom check to see that it is
properly secured to the telehandler as described
in the installation section.
16.Determine that the loads to be handled are within
the capabilities of the forklift. Keep in mind that
rated capacities will likely decrease when the
boom is in a raised position, or when the boom is
extended.
17.When using the Truss Boom it should be level or
tipped upward (never down below level).
18.Do not pull loads – it is designed for vertical lift
only.
19.The load should always be carried low and kept
from swinging using tag lines as necessary. Any
time a load is raised, extreme caution should be
exercised as the telehandler is far more vulnerable
to tipping with a raised load.
20.Any time the load is raised make sure the
telehandler is on level, rm footing.
21.Refer to the telehandler operator’s manual for
more information on handling elevated loads as
well as information for safe and proper telehandler
operation.
22.Always comply with all local, state, and federal
Safety regulations.
