SECTION 5—ATTACHMENTS
5.1 APPROVED ATTACHMENTS
To determine if an attachment is approved for use on specific telehandler you are using,
perform following prior to installation.
• The machine is authorized for use with original equipment manufactured (OEM)
supplied attachments or where explicit written authorization has been provided by
the manufacturer.
• The model on the capacity chart must match the model telehandler being used.
• Hydraulically powered attachments must only be used on machines equipped with
auxiliary hydraulics.
• Hydraulically powered attachments that require auxiliary electrics must only be used
on machines equipped with auxiliary hydraulics and electrics.
If any of the above conditions are not met, do not use attachment. Telehandler may not
be equipped with proper capacity chart or attachment may not be approved for the
model telehandler being used. Contact JLG or a local distributor for further information.
5.2 UNAPPROVED ATTACHMENTS
Do not use unapproved attachments for the following reasons:
• Range and capacity limitations for “will fit,” homemade, altered, or
other non-approved attachments cannot be established.
• 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.
• The ability of a non-approved attachment to perform its intended function safely
cannot be assured.
WARNING
Use only approved attachments. Attachments which have not been approved for use
with your telehandler could cause machine damage or an accident.
