SECTION 4 - ATTACHMENTS
4.1 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 model/option number on the attachment identification plate must
match the attachment number on a capacity chart located in the operator cab.
• The model on the capacity chart must match the model telehandler being used.
• The load center of the fork (if equipped) must match the load center as indicated
on the capacity chart.
• 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 your
local distributor for further information.
4.2 UNAPPROVED ATTACHMENTS
Do not use unapproved attachments for the following reasons:
• JLG cannot establish range and capacity limitations for “will fit,” homemade,
altered, or other non-approved attachments.
• 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.
• JLG cannot assure the ability of a non-approved attachment to perform its
intended function safely.
WARNING
Use only approved attachments. Attachments which have not been approved for
use with your telehandler could cause machine damage or an accident resulting
in death or serious injury.
