Placing a Suspended Load
Before placing any load be sure that:
• The landing point can safely support the weight of the load.
• The landing point is level; front to back and side to side.
• Use the capacity chart to determine safe boom extension range. “Use of the
Capacity Chart” on page 5-5
• Align load at the level load is to be placed, then position boom slowly until load is
just above area where it is to be placed.
• Ensure that the guide persons and operator remain in constant communication
(verbal or hand) when placing the load.
Disengaging a Suspended Load
• Never place the guide persons between the suspended load and the telehandler.
• Once at load destination, bring telehandler to a complete stop and apply park
brake prior to disengagement of lifting devices and tethers.
