wheel rotated clockwise whilst travelling? If the load centre of the load increases beyond that stipulated, what effect does it 19 have on the lifting capacity of the machine? If a load is being lifted whilst the telehandler is on a slope and facing downhill, what 20 effect could this have on the machine? Name SIX possible proximity hazards that may be encountered on site when 21 travelling with a load. Name THREE ways in which an operator can minimise their impact upon the 22 environment whilst using the machine. When working in a confined area or space: a) what danger can be present with 23 regards to the counterweight of the machine, b) when should measures be taken and c) what measures should be implemented? 24 What is the purpose of a risk assessment? a) Apart from the operator, who else may need to use the machine’s Operator’s 25 Manual and b) where should the be kept and why? Operator’s Manual 26 Name FOUR ways that wet weather can affect tele- handler operations. 27 What is the purpose of counterweight(s) on the machine? Before travelling with a physically large load, name FIVE factors that must be taken 29 into account by the operator before moving. 29 What problems and hazards can soft ground cause to a loaded telescopic handler? An operator has been asked to transport a load along the public highway from one 30 site to another, for which The Road Traffic Act applies. What needs to be taken into account regarding the law? 31 Why should a tele-handler be re-fuelled at the end of the day? How is it possible that forklifts can still tip over, even when travelling on gentle 32 gradients, are not overloaded and not being driven at excessive speed? Give THREE reasons why it is important that a tele- handler is not leaning sideways 33 before attempting to lift or place a load. 34 Why are forklift operators generally regarded as ‘safety- critical’ workers? a) What is the main purpose of the Rated Capacity Indicator (RCI) / Load Moment 35 Indicator (LMI) and b) Who determines it?
