GENERAL SAFETY
PROPER LOAD CHART USE
2 - 9
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 the
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.
