boom more than 45°.
• The combination of frame leveling and load could cause the telehandler to tip

or hand) and be in visual contact with the operator at all times.
• Never place the guide persons between the suspended load and the telehandler.
• Only transport the load at walking speed, 0.4 m/s (0.9 mph), or less.
