Model 10054 Rev 3/02
Operation
Reading The Capacity Chart
Example:
1. The operator has placed the load onto the forks, fully retracted the
boom, positioned the vehicle perpendicular to the structure and
leveled the vehicle with the outriggers up.
2. The operator then determines that:
• The load weight is 4000 pounds (1814 kg).
• The height of the structure the load is to be placed upon is 27
feet (8,2 meters) from ground level.
• The distance where the load will ultimately be placed in front of
the vehicle is 17 feet (5,2 meters) from the front of the front tires.
3. After applying the height of the structure and the distance of load
placement away from the vehicle to the capacity chart (Figure 54),
the operator knows that it will be safe to place the load if the boom
extend letter “D” has appeared and the boom angle indicator
reading does not go below approximately 40°. This condition is
however, a maximum limit for this weight, height and distance away
from the vehicle. The operator could simply lower the outriggers
ontofirmterrainormovethevehicleclosertothestructureto
assure that the vehicle will not exceed the maximum limits for plac-
ing the load.
IMPORTANT! As an added measure of safety, ALWAYS remember to shift
the Travel Select Lever into (N) NEUTRAL, move the neutral lock lever to
NEUTRAL LOCK position and engage the parking brake when outriggers
are lowered.
