Travel
Only operate the machine while you are in a seat. The seat belt must be fastened while you operate the machine. Only operate the controls while the engine is running.When you travel on the roadways, operate the machine in two-wheel steer mode only.Before you maneuver the machine, make sure that no personnel are between the machine and the work tools. Use caution when you change direction of travel. Use caution when you operate the boom. Use caution when you are picking up or setting down loads. Travel in the direction of the best visibility. Travel with the boom fully retracted. Also, travel with the boom lowered as far as possible. Maintain adequate ground clearance for conditions. Never travel if a load is raised beyond the travel position. Be careful to avoid any ground condition which could cause the machine to tip. Avoid any conditions that can lead to tipping of the machine. The machine can tip when you work on the following obstacles: Banks, hills and slopes. If the machine is equipped with stabilizers the stabilizers must be fully raised before you move the machine.Lifting Capacities
Maintain control of the machine. Do not overload the machine beyond the machine capacity. Ensure that the correct load chart is referenced. Loads must be within the weight limit of the machine and loads must be within the load center limit for the machine. Lifting capacity decreases as the load is moved further from the machine.Ensure that the tires are serviceable and that the tires are inflated to the correct pressure.If liquid ballast is specified for the tires, ensure that the correct levels are maintained. Failure to maintain the tires with the correct levels can result in a reduction in the machine stability. Machines that are equipped with liquid ballast have an instruction plate that is located on the dash. The load charts are also located on the dash. A decal is located near each wheel that gives the inflation pressure. The decal also indicates that ballast is installed.Always level the frame before you raise the boom or before you lower the stabilizers. Never operate the frame level switch when the boom is raised or when the stabilizers are lowered.Check that the frame is level after you lower the stabilizers. If necessary, adjust the level of the frame. Use the stabilizers in order to make the adjustment.Do not adjust the position of the stabilizers when the boom is raised.If the frame is not level, do not raise the boom.Before you transport a load or before you elevate a load, the load must be adequately secured on the forks or on the work tool. Any loads such as pipe, scaffolding, lumber and beams must be adequately secured.Use lifting slings that are approved and lifting slings that are load tested. Also, all wire ropes or chains must be properly maintained. The wire ropes and chains must meet local regulations. You must know the load carrying capacity of these devices and you must know the correct
