Section 5—Attachments

Installation Procedure:
• Ensure carriage is properly installed. Refer to “Attachment Installation” on page 5-9.
• Secure the fork mounted bucket to the forks by sliding the fork mounted bucket onto
the parent forks and install the retaining pin behind the vertical shank of the fork.
Operation:
• Raise or lower boom to appropriate height for loading material from stockpile.
• Align telehandler with face of stockpile and drive slowly and smoothly into pile to load
bucket.
• Tilt bucket up far enough to retain load and back away from pile.
• Travel in accordance with requirements set forth in Section 1—General Safety
Practices.
• Tilt bucket down to dump load.
• Fork mounted bucket weight must be included as part of total load being lifted.
• Do not use with mast carriage attachment.
• Do not use fork mounted bucket with attachments capable of rotating (i.e. side tilt
and swing carriages) without disabling the rotation feature(s).
Equipment Damage Precautions
• Except for lifting or dumping a load, the boom must be fully retracted for all bucket
operations.
• Do not corner-load bucket. Distribute material evenly within the bucket. Capacity
charts are for evenly distributed loads only.
• Do not use bucket as a lever to pry material. Excessive prying forces could damage
bucket or machine structure.
• Do not attempt to load material which is hard or frozen. This could cause severe
damage to coupler or machine structure.
• Do not use bucket for "back dragging." This could cause severe damage to coupler and
retraction cables/chains.
