Attachment Operation
Operation of the handler equipped with carriage/fork
combination is covered in the Gradall Material
Handler Safety Manual, the FIEI Rough Terrain
Forklift Safety Manual and this manual.
Operation of the handler when equipped with other
approved attachments is covered in this section or in
separate instructions furnished with the attachment.
Such separate instructions must be kept in manual
holder with operator’s manual.
When an attachment is installed on the handler, take
extra care when engaging, securing, manipulating,
transporting and positioning the load.
Operate a handler equipped with an attachment as a
partially loaded handler. Pay special attention to
capacity and range limits for /attachment
combination.
Practice operation of handler and attachment in a
safe, open area, not hazardous to yourself, other
persons, equipment or property. Become thoroughly
familiar with response of handler and attachment to
controls before operating in a work situation.
Always consider terrain between present location of
load and delivery point. Never attempt to transport a
load across terrain which could cause handler to tip
over.
