Forward Stability Indicator (Load Monitor)
The digital forward indicator (A) is an important safety device located in the right hand corner console for good visibility. The device informs the operator, audio-visually, about the forward stability of the machine via a sensor on the rear axle.
Different colored LEDs on the monitor indicate the following:
-
Green (1)
= Safe lifting capacity, 50 to 80% of the load is on the front axle meaning the handler is still stable.
-
Amber (2)
= Borderline lifting capacity, 85 to 100% of the load is on the front axle making the handler unstable when driven quickly or under sudden braking. The load monitor buzzer sounds at 1/2 second intervals.
-
Red (3)
= Unsafe lifting capacity, more than 100% of the load is on the front axle, the load monitor buzzer sounds continuously. The boom must be retracted or the load reduced to increase the stability before further action is taken.
 CAUTION:
When transporting with a load, the boom MUST be fully retracted and lowered to keep the handler as stable as possible. See "Operating the Boom" Section for details.
Always test indicator BEFORE work commences. See "Operating the Boom" Section for details.
CAUTION:
Always observe the lift capacity limits listed under "Lift Capacity and Lifting Height" in the "Specifications" Section or written on load chart furnished with the handler (see "Operating the Boom" Section).
