Fork Positioner
Capacity:
Maximum load capacity for fork positioner carriage is the same as standard
carriage without fork positioner. Refer to Attachment Capacity Chart.
Capacity varies with boom extension and elevation positions.
Controls:
Figure 13-1
The auxiliary control lever is used to adjust
fork position. Pull lever back to close forks,
push lever forward to open forks.
Installation Procedure:
1. Remove standard carriage/fork combination or other attachment from
boom head. See “Attachment Installation” page 13.1.
2. Install carriage/fork combination with positioner.
3. Connect auxiliary hydraulic hoses to positioner cylinders.
Operation:
• Always adjust fork position before engaging load. Moving forks after
engaging load could cause load to fall from forks.
Light Material Bucket
Capacity:
Maximum capacity of light material bucket is shown on the attachment serial
number plate and may be used in areas where it does not exceed capacities
shown on standard carriage/fork capacity chart. Capacity must be reduced
for areas where maximum bucket capacity would exceed standard carriage/
fork capacity chart.
Attachment Tilt Controls:
Figure 13-2
Because the carriage tilt cylinder is used to tilt the bucket, the carriage tilt
lever is used to control the bucket. Pull lever back to raise bucket lip push
lever forward to lower bucket lip.
Installation Procedure:
1. Remove carriage/fork combination or other attachment from boom head.
See page 13.1.
2. Install light material bucket on boom head.
3. Retract boom fully and tilt bucket up or down as required to position
bottom of bucket parallel with ground.

• As with all other attachments,
handler must be level
before handling a load more
than 1.2m (four feet) above
ground level. See “Leveling
The Handler,” page 11.0.
WARNING !
Observe all precautions and load
capacity limits (listed previously)
when handling loads with
carriage/fork positioner.
WARNING !
PRECAUTIONS
• Handler must be level before
handling a load more than
1.2m (four feet) above ground
level. See page 11.0.
• Retract boom fully before
loading bucket. Loading
bucket with boom extended
could damage structural
members or extension chains/
cables.
• Avoid shock loads; drive into
stockpile smoothly to load
bucket.
• Do not use bucket as a lever
to pry heavy material.
Excessive prying forces could
damage the bucket.
• Do not use bucket for “back
dragging.” This could cause
severe damage to Quick
Switch fittings.
WARNING !
Observe all precautions and load
capacity limits (listed previously)
when handling loads with light
material bucket.
