Operation Section
damage to surrounding structures and materials could
result.
Extremely cold temperatures could cause a load to be
frozen to the ground. Free the load before you attempt
to raise the load. Failure to comply could affect the
stability of the machine when a lift is attempted.
Use tag lines to assist in the control of loads that
require accurate placement.
When a load is lifted and the boom is extended and
raised, the boom will deflect under the load. This has
the effect of moving the load away from the machine as
the load is raised. Make an allowance for this
deflection.
Maneuver the load into position by operating the boom
functions. Do not use the quick coupler to position the
load when the boom extension is installed.
The operator must remain at the controls of the
machine when a load is suspended from the boom
extension.
Lifting Hook

Before you raise the load, position the lifting point on the
lifting hook directly above the lifting point on the load.
Failure to follow this procedure could cause the load to
swing when the load is lifted. Personal injury or damage
to surrounding structures and materials could result.
Material Handling Arm

Reference the correct load chart and do not exceed the
machine capacities.
Use only approved lifting equipment with a current
certificate of serviceability when you attach a load to a
material handling arm. Short slings will prevent
excessive load swing.
Before you raise the load, position the lifting point on the
material handling arm directly above the lifting point on
the load. Failure to follow this procedure could cause
the load to swing when the load is lifted. Personal injury
or damage to surrounding structures and materials
could result.
