Where should the operator's manual be located?

Having the operator's manual inside the operator's cab is crucial for several reasons. First, it ensures that the manual is easily accessible to the operator whenever they are using the telehandler. This accessibility is important because the operator may need to quickly reference safety guidelines, operational procedures, or troubleshooting steps while they are working, especially in situations that may require immediate action.

Moreover, keeping the manual in the cab reduces the risk of it being misplaced or lost, as opposed to being stored in a toolbox, outside the cab, or in a maintenance shed where it may not be readily available. Having the manual on hand contributes to safer and more efficient operation, as operators can confirm specifications or procedures pertinent to their tasks without unnecessary delays.

This practice also promotes compliance with regulatory and safety standards, as operators are more likely to consult the manual regularly, leading to better-informed decision-making on the job.
