PROPER LOAD CHART USE
WARNING
NEVER raise a load and drive to position it. This can cause the machine to turnover. When placing a load, always move a loaded machine with the boom angle indicator (B) at 0 degrees
or less. When the machine is as close as possible to where theB load needs to be placed, set the parking brake, raise the load,
then place the load into position.
The load chart shows the operating limits of a properly maintained and operated machine. To use the load chart the operator must know the weight of the load and how far "out" and "up" it is to be placed. If the load is heavier than stated on the load chart, three options can be used:
1.Move the machine closer to the load so that the weight of the load will fall within the load chart specifications.
2.Divide the load into smaller pieces so that each piece falls into load chart specifications.
3.Get a larger machine capable of handling the load within specifications.
