SECTION 5 - ATTACHMENTS AND HITCHES
5.1 APPROVED ATTACHMENTS
To determine if an attachment is approved for use on the specific telehandler you
are using, perform the following prior to installation.
• The attachment type, weight, dimensions and load center must be equal to or
less than the data shown on a capacity chart located in the operator cab.
• The model on the capacity chart must match the model telehandler being used.
• Hydraulically powered attachments must only be used on machines equipped
with auxiliary hydraulics.
If any of the above conditions are not met, do not use the attachment. The
telehandler may not be equipped with the proper capacity chart or the attachment
may not be approved for the model telehandler being used. Contact JLG or the local
distributor for further information.
5.2 UNAPPROVED ATTACHMENTS
Do not use unapproved attachments for the following reasons:
• Range and capacity limitations for “will fit,” homemade, altered, or other
non-approved attachments cannot be established.
• An overextended or overloaded telehandler can tip over with little or no warning
and cause serious injury or death to the operator and/or those working nearby.
• The ability of a non-approved attachment to perform its intended function safely
cannot be assured.
WARNING
Use only approved attachments. Attachments which have not been approved for
use with your telehandler could cause machine damage or an accident.
