• Use guide ropes or tag lines by qualified
personnel to help control the load and prevent it
from swinging.
• Do not attempt to use the telehandler frameleveling to compensate for a swinging load.
• Never drag the load.
• Do not try to move fixed or obstructed loads.
• Only lift a load vertically; do not pull a load
horizontally as it could cause excessive swinging
of the load.
• When visibility is or could be obstructed, the
operator shall use alternative/additional means
to safely transport the load.
• Use of additional personnel to direct the operator
in his movements as well as surrounding ground
traffic.
• Speed shall be limited by any conditions that
could cause any unexpected movement of the
load, or jeopardize the safe transport of the load.
• The boom shall be fully retracted during travel.
• Only travel on solid surfaces.
• Start, travel, turn and stop slowly to prevent the
load from becoming unstable or swing.
• Do not exceed walking speed.

HOIST GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This attachment is used to handle payloads which
are suspended by a rope system.
It mainly consists of a steel truss beams welded
structure which is provided with two lateral flanges
having mechanical slots (on the upper area) and
holes (in the lower area) to be coupled with the GTH
telehandlers standard interface. These two lateral
flanges are connected together (by welding) through
a central steel plate which is then welded to the truss
beams structure.
The truss beam welded structure is shaped to have,
in its lower end, four supporting feet sustaining the
attachment when it is on the ground and not linked
to the telehandler.
The hydraulic hoist is installed on the front surface
of the central steel plate. The hoist is hydraulically
powered through the auxiliary line provided at the
end of the telescopic boom. The hydraulic connection
between this line and the hoist is provided through
two hydraulic quick coupling adapters. This hoist
is equipped with a mechanical drum where a steel
rope is winded.
The end of the steel rope is linked directly or through
a steel pulley (depending on the model of the
attachment) to a certified hook, capable to lift the
payload.
The hook is certified to handle the payload defined
for this attachment (its structural strength meets
or exceeds the maximum payload defined for the
complete attachment).
A special hydraulic switch is installed close to the
hook area with the aim to signal when the hook is
completely lifted up.
When the hook is completely lifted up no hydraulic
pressure is provided to the hoist so avoiding any not
necessary overload on the jib structural components.

STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM
First Edition - First Printing
All the telehandlers are equipped with an automatic
stability control system which warns the operator
of the variation of stability of the machine and
blocks any manoeuvre before the same reaches a
critical condition. A display inside the cabin shows
the stability status of the machine and the relative
equipment.
LLMI/ LLMC HAZARDS
The LLMI/LLMC will only function to the design
specification:
• when the truck is static;
• when the truck is on consolidated, stable and
level ground;
• when the truck is performing loading or placing
functions;
• when the LLMI/LLMC is activated (not
overridden);
The LLMI will only warn the operator in the event of
inadequate stability in the longitudinal plane in the
forward direction.
The LLMI/LLMC is not intended for warning of the
risk of overturning in the case of:
• a sudden overload;
• travelling with the load in the elevated position;
• travelling on rough terrain or on grounds with
obstacles and holes;
• travelling across a slope or turning on a slope;
• driving in bends too fast or too sharp;
Adjustments affecting the setting of the LLMI/LLMC
shall be performed only by authorised personnel.
The system changes according with the telehandler
and can easly be recognized depending on the
display fitted into the cabin:

USING THE LOAD CHARTS
The load charts 1 indicates the maximum permissible
load in relation to the boom extension and the type of
attachment used. To operate under safe conditions,
always refer to these charts.
The extension level of the boom can be checked
with the help of the letters (A, B, C, D, E) painted
on the same boom (pos.3), while the actual degrees
of inclination of the boom are shown by the angle
indicator 2.
All the load charts are placed into a dedicated holder
installed in the cabin.
The tag 4 located at the top of each load chart,
indicates the type of attachment used.
The load charts applied on the cab refer to a
stationary machine standing on a solid and level
ground.
Raise the load some centimetres and check its
stability before raising it completely.
A suspended load has a dynamic, and therefore
an unpredictable effect on machine stability,
operate with caution.

SLINGING LOAD
First Edition - First Printing
EVALUATING THE LOAD
The operator should take all practicable steps to
establish the weight and the position of its centre of
gravity of any load. A drawing may be available giving
the weight or it may be calculable within reasonable
limits of accuracy. The following gives guidance as
to the various ways of obtaining this information.
WARNING
Verify that the load to be lifted respects the max
payload of the equipment and of the telehandler.
Refer to the relative Load Chart.
WEIGHT
1. Look to see if the weight is marked on the load.
If it is, check to ensure that it is the weight of all
parts of the load;
2. Check the weight stated on any documentation.
3. Look at the drawing of the load. If the weight
is marked, check as in (1) above to ensure it
includes all parts of the load.
4. Estimate the weight of the load by using tables
of material weights, as, for example, the ones
shown in the "Tables of Material" section.
CENTRE OF GRAVITY
The “centre of gravity” (CoG) is a point which, if the
load could be suspended from the hook, the load
would be in perfect balance.
The hook needs to be directly over the centre of
gravity, for the load to be stable, as shown in fi g.A.
Lifting a load with the centre of gravity offset will
cause the load to shift until a balance is restored.
If there is the slightest doubt of the stability of a load,
it should be slowly lifted just clear of the ground. If
the load tilts, the sling should be refixed in a more
stable position.
LOAD SECURITY
Before lifting it is essential to ensure that, when
clear of the ground, the load will adopt the intended
attitude and remain securely attached to the lifting
appliance without overloading any of the lifting gear.
This means that the load must be both balanced and
stable.
BALANCE
In the majority of lifts it will be intended that the
load will remain level when clear of the ground. To
achieve this it is first necessary to position the hook
of the lifting appliance vertically above the centre of
gravity of the load.
The legs of the sling(s) should be distributed as
evenly as is practicable according to the lifting points
available. The angle which the individual leg makes
with the vertical, affects the proportion of the load
which will be imposed upon it and all legs should
therefore be, so far as is practicable, at a similar
angle to provide equal loading.
If the load tilts on lifting, the load in the sling legs will
become unequal. This effect is especially significant
at small included angles between sling legs.
With rigid loads when three or more legs are
employed, consideration should be given to how
many of the legs will bear the weight as it may be
found that only two or three will take the majority
with the remaining legs providing a relatively small
‘balancing force’ only. If this is the case, larger capacity
tackle will be required.
34 HOOK - JIB - HOIST Part No. 57.0303.5159
Fig.A
STABILITY
In this context, stability means ‘resistance to toppling’.
An object with a narrow base and a high centre of
gravity will need less force to topple it than one with
a wide base and a low centre of gravity.
As the height of the centre of gravity increases relative
Page 35
First Edition - First PrintingOperator’s Manual
Operating Instructions
to the width of the base, a point will be reached where
the object will fall over unless it is supported by external
means. At this point the object is regarded as being
unstable and the greater the support required the
more unstable it is.
A similar situation exists with a suspended load.
Forces which try to topple the load will inevitably
be present (e.g. wind, acceleration, braking). It is
essential, therefore, when slinging a load, to ensure
that it is sufficiently stable to resist these toppling
forces.
A load will be inherently stable if the lifting tackle is
attached ABOVE the centre of gravity and properly
positioned around it.
HARNESSING ACCESSORIES
A good packing between sling and load is fondamental.
Operate as follow:
• Check the load: dimensions, weight and units
• Select the right sling for each job using the
manufacturers' tables
• Inspect each item of lifting equipment before
and after lifts
• Protect slings from damage by sharp edges with
corner saddles, padding, or wooden blocks
• When lifting long loads, particularly in confined
spaces, slingers should attach a rope or ‘tag line’
to one or both ends of the load so that rotational
movement may be controlled.
• Hook unused sling legs to the sling ring.
• Avoid impact loading: do not jerk the load
when lifting or lowering the sling. This
increases the actual stress on the sling.
• Do not exceed the capacities of slings
• Do not twist or tie knots in slings or use bolts,
nails or pieces of wire to shorten slings.
• Do not splice together broken slings.
• Do not carry a load by inserting the point of
the hook into a link of the chain.
• Do not leave unused slings, accessories, or
blocking lying on the floor. Hang on racks or
store in a proper place.
• Do not use a sling to drag a load.
• Do not shorten a chain with knots or by
twisting other than by means of an integral
chain clutch.
• Do not use homemade chains or strings.
• Do not heat treat or weld chain links: the
lifting capacity will be reduced drastically.
• Do not expose chain links to chemicals
without the manufacturers approval.
WARNING
Hooks are designed to support the load in the
bowl A. Users should ensure that the hook of a
sling engages freely in the lifting point so that
the weight of the load is supported in the bowl
of the hook.
Wedging or forcing the hook tip B into the
lifting points results in the hook being
stressed in a manner for which it was not
designed which may easily lead to hook
deformation and premature failure.
WARNING
• Protect your hands and fingers: when slack
is being taken out of a sling, keep them from
between the sling and load so they will not
be trapped and crushed. Step away before
the lift is made.

WARNING
TRANSPORTING A SUSPENDED LOAD
Once the load is attached, operate as follow:
• raise the load and check if it is correctly
suspended: the wire shall be tightened and
shall not be in slack-condition when the load
movement begins;
• completly retract the boom;
• raise it again to the transport height of 300-500mm
from the ground;
• make sure a load is high enough to clear all
objects before starting to move;
• identify any risks present on the route to be
travelled;
• avoid excessively undulating ground when
travelling;
• consider that when transporting load permissible
gradients are 10% downhill, 15% uphill, 5% side;
• consider effects of the wind on load: wind speed
should not exceed 10m/s or number 5 of the
Beaufort Scale, as explain in the "Beaufort Wind Scale" section;
• initiate movements of the load with the lowest
available speed;
• travel at walking speed (1,5 km/h).
LOAD LANDING
Before a load is lifted, a place should be prepared
where it is to be put down. The nature of the load
will determine the type of preparation necessary but
most loads should be lowered onto timber battens.
The sling may then be easily withdrawn. The load
should never be landed directly on to the chain.
DANGER
• Do not allow suspended loads to oscillate.
• Do not drag loads when they are hooked up.
• Do not ride on hooks or loads.
• Do not allow workers to walk or work under
a load.
• Do not leave suspended loads unattended
• Warn all people out of the load area before
starting the lift.
When visibility is or could be obstructed, the
operator shall use alternative/additional means
to safely transport the load: use of additional
personnel to direct the operator in his movements
as well as surrounding ground traffic.

CHECKING THE SAFETY DEVICES
Checking the MOMENT LIMITING SYSTEM of
the TELEHANDLER
(at every use)
At the telehandler start-up, the moment limiting
system runs an automatic check. In the case of
troubles, the red led will come on and the buzzer will
sound to warn of the error. The telehandler will enter
the alarm mode and no operation will be allowed.
To check the system manually, proceed as follows:
• Set the telehandler on wheels.
• Load a weight of 1000 kg.
• Raise the boom about 30 cm above the ground.
• Extend the telescope and check if the system
enters the alarm mode once reached the distance
indicated in the load charts for the attachment
fitted to the machine.
• If the system does not enter the alarm mode,
contact the TEREXLIFT Technical Service.

GREASING
CAUTION
Before injecting grease into the greasers,
thoroughly clean them to avoid that mud, dust
or other matters can mix with the lubricant and
reduce or annihilate the lubrication effect.
Remove any old grease with a degreaser from
the telescopes before smearing them with new
grease.
Regularly grease the machine to grant it efficient
conditions and a long life. By means of a pump,
inject grease into the special greasers. As the fresh
grease comes out, stop the operation.
For the rope lubrication, use the assistance of a
second operator to stop the machine in an emergency;
smear the rope with grease while unwinding it at the
minimum permitted speed.
