Travel Hazard
4-Wheel SteerPivot Steer
• Steering characteristics differ between 4-Wheel Steer & Pivot Steer telehandlers
as shown above. Identify the telehandler you are operating & others on the
jobsite.
• Ensure that adequate clearance is provided between both rear tail swing and
front fork swing.
• Unlike a conventional 4-wheel steer telehandler the rear wheels of a pivot steer
telehandler turn a wider circle than the front wheels.
• Look out for and avoid other personnel, machinery and vehicles in the area. Use
a spotter if you DO NOT have a clear view.
• Before moving be sure of a clear path and sound horn.
• When driving, retract boom and keep boom/attachment as low as possible while
maintaining visibility of mirrors and maximum visibility of path of travel.
• Always look in the direction of travel.
• Always check boom clearances carefully before driving underneath overhead
obstructions. Position attachment/load to clear obstacles.

Driving Hazards on Slopes
OW0200
To maintain sufficient traction and braking capabilities, travel on slopes as follows:
• When unloaded, the rear of the machine is the “heavy end.” Drive with forks
pointed downhill.
• When loaded, the front of the machine is the “heavy end.” Drive with the forks
pointed uphill.
• To avoid overspeeding the engine and drivetrain when driving down 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.
• Avoid excessively steep slopes or unstable surfaces. To avoid tip over DO NOT
drive across excessively steep slopes under any circumstances.
• Avoid turning on a slope. Never engage “inching” or shift to “Neutral” when going
downhill.
• DO NOT park on a slope.
