Gradall 534D-10 (9134-4052) Operation Manual - Manual (Page 32)

Approved Attachments
Although the carriage/fork combination is most frequently used, several other
GRADALL-approved attachments are available for use with your material handler.
Contact your GRADALL Material Handler Distributor for information on approved
attachments designed to solve special material handling problems.
The serial number plate lists attachments approved for use with your handler.
However, there may be additional approved attachments available. Contact
your GRADALL Material Handler Distributor for further information.
Non-Approved Attachments
Do not use non-approved attachments for the following reasons:
• GRADALL cannot establish range and capacity limitations for “will fit,”
homemade, altered, or other non-approved attachments.
• An overextended or overloaded handler can tip over with little or no warning
and cause serious injury or death to the operator and/or those working near
the handler.
• GRADALL cannot assure the ability of a non-approved attachment to perform
its intended function safely.
• Non-approved attachments may cause structural or other damage to the
handler. Such damage could cause dangerous operating conditions resulting
in serious injury or death.
Carriage/Fork Capacities
The standard carriage/fork capacity chart (located on the dashboard) indicates
maximum reach and load capacities for handlers equipped with an approved
carriage/fork combination. These limitations apply to standard, GRADALL-
approved carriage/fork combinations, except as stated on the capacity
chart.
Non-standard carriage/fork combinations (greater or lesser capacity) may be
furnished by GRADALL at customer’s request or may be available for installation
because they were furnished for a different application.
If a carriage/fork combination of lesser capacity is used, the overall machine
capacity is reduced to the capacity stamped on the carriage or forks, whichever
is less.
If a carriage/fork combination of greater capacity is used, the overall machine
capacity may be reduced because of additional attachment weight and/or other
considerations. Contact your local GRADALL Distributor to determine
capacity limitations.
Other Attachment Capacities
A serial number/capacity plate is attached to all GRADALL-furnished
attachments. Do not assume that any GRADALL attachment may be used
on any GRADALL Material Handler.
First, check the listing of approved attachments on handler serial number
plate. If the attachment in question is not included in the list, contact your
local GRADALL Distributor to check whether or not the attachment is approved.
Next, if the attachment is approved for use with your handler, compare
maximum capacity from attachment serial number plate and value stamped
on forks to maximum capacity for that attachment as indicated on material
handler serial number plate. The smallest of these values is correct for
your handler.
ATTACHMENTS 13.0
Attachments which have not been
approved for the use with your
handler could cause machine
damage or an accident resulting in
injury or death.
Never use an attachment without
the appropriate, GRADALL supplied
capacity chart for that particular
attachment installed in the handler.
The capacity of forklift, attachment
and fork combination may be less
than the capacity shown on
attachment. Consult forklift
nameplate and also ensure forks are
of proper size.
Forks rated less than the
attachment capacity decrease
capacity of attachment to that of
forks. Forks rated more than
attachment capacity do not increase
attachment capacity.
