SECTION 4 - ATTACHMENTS
4.1 APPROVED ATTACHMENTS
To determine if an attachment is approved for use on the hydraulic excavator you are
using, perform the following prior to installation.
• Use only Gradall approved attachments.
• Before selecting specific attachments for specific models, consult the load chart
on the model literature and consult either an authorized Gradall distributor or
Gradall.
If any of the above conditions are not met, do not use the attachment.
4.2 UNAPPROVED ATTACHMENTS
Use only approved attachments. Attachments which
have not been approved for use with your excavator
could cause machine damage or an accident resulting
in death or serious injury.
Do not use unapproved 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 excavator can tip over with little or no warning
and cause death or serious injury to the operator and/or those working nearby.
• Gradall cannot assure the ability of a non-approved attachment to perform its
intended function safely.
4.3 ATTACHMENT OPERATION
• Capacities and range limits for the excavator change depending on the
attachment being used.
• Separate attachment instructions (if applicable) must be kept in Manual Holder in
cab with this Operator & Safety Manual. An additional copy must be kept with the
attachment if it is equipped with a manual holder.
• Window guards must be in place when using powered attachments such as
hammers, augers or mowers capable of producing flying debris.
