PLACING A LOAD

WARNINGB

Do not sway the machine with the boom angle indicator arrow

(B) at more than 0 degrees. By doing so you could cause a roll over hazard which may result in injury or death.

DANGER

Always apply the parking brake (C) before lifting and/or placing a load. Failure to do so could allow the machine to roll over which may result in injury or death.

CAUTION

Always bring the machine to a complete stop before applying the parking brake (C). Failure to do so will damage the parking brake disc packs, which may void the axle warranty.

Before placing a load, the frame should be leveled. This can be done by the use of the switch labeled sway control (D) located on the lower right hand side of the dash panel in front of the operator.
