tilt lever controls fork tilt.
The auxiliary control lever is used to swing
the forks to the left and right. Pull lever

Installation Procedure:
1. Remove carriage/fork combination or other attachment from boom head.
See page 13.1.
2. Install swing forks attachment on boom head.
3. Connect auxiliary hydraulic hoses to swing forks attachment.
Operation:
• Always position forks straight ahead before engaging load.
• To travel with load, keep forks in straight ahead position and lower load
to 1.2m (4 feet) or less above ground allowing for best visibility.
• Inspect supporting surface at delivery point and have it leveled if necessary.
• Use a signal man to assist in positioning the load if necessary.
Slope Piler Carriage
Capacity:
Maximum lift capacity for the slope piler carriage is shown on the attachment
serial number plate. However, maximum lift capacity applies only to certain
areas within boom extension/elevation pattern of handler/slope piler carriage
combination. A separate capacity chart must be used for handlers equipped
with slope piler carriage. Study and understand this chart before attempting
to handle a load with slope piler carriage.

WARNING !
PRECAUTIONS
• Read and understand
additional capacity information
under “Capacity” heading.
• Always level forks
(horizontally) before swinging
load to side. Swinging
unlevel forks could result
in load slipping from forks.
• Because the swing forks can
swing the load to the side, it is
especially important that the
handler be level when
handling a load more than
1.2m (four feet) above
ground. See page 11.0.
WARNING !
PRECAUTIONS
• Level handler before tilting
carriage to engage load.
• Always level handler before
lifting a load more than
1.2m (four feet) above
ground. See page 11.0.
WARNING !
Do not handle a load with Slope
Piler Carriage attachment until
you study and understand the
“Slope Piler Carriage Capacity
Chart.” If your handler does not
have a “Slope Piler Carriage
Capacity Chart,” ask your
supervisor to get one before
using the attachment.
