71 Operation Section
15. Raise the boom and extend the boom until the load is directly over the set down position. Do not exceed the maximum angle of the boom and do not exceed the maximum length of the boom. Use the load chart to determine the maximum angle of the boom and the maximum length of the boom. Proceed with caution when you approach the maximum angle and/or extension indicated by the load chart. If you are not sure that the machine is stable, retract the boom. Lower the load to the travel position. Move the machine closer to the load placement location. If the machine cannot be moved closer to the load placement location, the load placement location is outside the capacity of the machine. The load cannot be placed at the intended load placement location.

18. Retract the boom and lower the boom to the travel position before you move the machine or before you raise the stabilizers.
Work Tools General Operating Guidelines
Use of non approved work tools on Telehandler machines could result in injury or death. Illustration 108

16. Tilt the quick coupler forward until the load is level. Lower and set down the load in place.
Before installing a work tool on this machine, ensure that it is approved by Caterpillar and that a Caterpillar load chart covering its use is installed in the machine's cab.
NOTICE When certain work tools are fitted, the work tools can contact the front tires or the front fenders. This situation can occur when the boom is retracted and the work tool is rotated fully forward. Always check for interference when first operating a new work tool.

17. Ensure that the load is correctly placed and stable. Use the joystick control to raise the boom and retract the boom in a way that withdraws the forks cleanly from the load. Do not withdraw the forks by backing up the machine.
Travel with the work tool lowered as far as possible with adequate ground clearance. Travel with the boom fully retracted so that you have good visibility and so that the machine has good stability. Maintain traction by avoiding excessive downward pressure on the work tool. When the machine is operating on a slope, position the heaviest end of the machine uphill.
