Operation:
• Raise or lower boom to appropriate height for loading material from
stockpile.
• Align handler with face of stockpile and drive slowly and smoothly into
pile to load bucket. Do not corner-load bucket.
• Tilt bucket up far enough to retain load and back away from pile.
• Lower bucket to carry position 1.2m (4 feet) or less above ground and
travel carefully to unloading point. Turn bucket down to dump load.
Mast (1.8m [6'] with 1.2m [4’] or 1.8m [6’] carriage)
Capacity:
Maximum lift capacity (indicated on attachment serial number plate) applies
only to certain areas within boom extension/elevation pattern of handler/
mast combination. A separate capacity chart must be used for handlers
equipped with mast. Study and understand this chart before attempting to
handle a load with mast attachment.
Attachment Tilt Controls:
Figure 13-3
The carriage tilt cylinder is used to tilt the
mast and the carriage tilt lever controls
mast tilt. The auxiliary control lever is used
to raise and lower the forks in the mast.
Pull lever back to raise forks; push lever
forward to lower forks.
Installation Procedure:
1. Remove carriage/fork combination or other attachment from boom head.
See page 13.1.
2. Install mast on boom head.
3. Connect auxiliary hydraulic hoses to mast cylinder.
Operation:
• Always level handler before raising the boom or the forks, with or without
a load.
• To travel with a load, lower forks fully in mast and lower boom to position
load 1.2m (4 feet) or less above ground, allowing for best visibility.
• Use mast as required to increase vertical reach of handler.
• Use a signal man to assist in positioning the load if necessary.
Swing Forks
Capacity:
Maximum lift capacity for swing forks is shown on the attachment capacity
chart. However, maximum lift capacity applies only to certain areas within
boom extension/elevation pattern of handler/swing forks combination. A
separate capacity chart must be used for handlers equipped with swing
forks. Study and understand this chart before attempting to handle a load
with swing forks attachment.
WARNING !
PRECAUTIONS
• Read additional capacity
information under “Capacity”
heading.
• Because the mast increases
lift height, it is especially
important to level the
handler before lifting a
load more than 1.2m (four
feet) above ground. See
page 11.0.
WARNING !
Do not handle a load with Mast
attachment until you study and
understand the “Mast Capacity
Chart.” If your handler does not
have a “Mast Capacity Chart,”
ask your supervisor to get one
before using the attachment.
WARNING !
Do not handle a load with Swing
Forks attachment until you study
and understand the “Swing Forks
Capacity Chart.” If your handler
does not have a “Swing Forks
Capacity Chart,” ask your
supervisor to get one before
using the attachment.
