Release trapped pressure before disconnecting, opening or removing any
hydraulic component.
Keep all windows and mirror(s) clean. Adjust mirror(s) as required for maximum
visibility, before and during operation.
Do not increase engine speed with the transmission in forward or
reverse and the service brake pedal depressed in an attempt to get quicker
hydraulic performance. This could cause unexpected machine movement.
After bringing the material handler to a stop using the service brake, place the
directional control lever in neutral, and set the park brake prior to lifting a
load.
Allow the handler to slow down, or use the service brakes prior to down-
shifting. Do not downshift more than one gear at a time.
When traveling on downhill slopes, downshift to a lower gear and use the
service brake as necessary to maintain a slow speed. Do not shift into neutral
and coast downhill.
Never permit diesel engine to run out of fuel. Doing so can cause severe
engine damage.

attachment affects it’s capacity and/or stability of machine.

cab at all times.

power sources with any part of your material handler or load unless all
local, state/provincial and federal regulations have been met and the
appropriate utility company’s hotline has been contacted to de-energize
the lines.
Whenever leaving the cab, perform standard shut-down procedure:
