Question: During a rough terrain operation, the telehandler's load management indicator starts to flash and alarm, indicating an approaching tip-over threshold. What action should the operator take immediately?
Answer options:
- Quickly lower the boom to ground level, then retract. ✅ Retract the boom slowly, then lower the load slightly.
- Extend the boom fully to distribute weight more broadly.
- Stop all operations and wait for the alarm to clear.
Correct answer: Retract the boom slowly, then lower the load slightly.
Explanation: When a tip-over alarm sounds, the safest action is to retract the boom slowly to bring the load closer to the machine's centre of gravity, and then lower the boom slightly, which increases stability by reducing the load moment. Quickly lowering to ground level might exacerbate the issue if it's a forward tip-over. Extending the boom works against stability.
