INTRODUCTION
- Your lift truck must be used with interchangeable equipment. These items are called: ATTACHMENTS.
- A wide range of attachments, specially designed and per fectly suitable for your lift truck is available and guaranteed by
MANITOU.
- The attachments are delivered with a load char t concerning your lift truck. The operator’s manual and the load char t should be
kept in the places provided in the lift truck. For standard attachments, their use is governed by the instructions contained on this
notice.
- Some par ticular uses require the adaptation of the attachment which is not provided in the price-listed options. Optional solutions
exist, consult your dealer.
Suspended loads MUST be handled with a lift truck designed for that purpose (see: 1 - OPERATING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS: LOAD HANDLING
INSTRUCTIONS: H - TAKING-UP AND SETTING-DOWN A SUSPENDED LOAD).
Only attachments approved by MANITOU are to be used on our lift trucks (see: 4 - ADAPTABLE ATTACHMENTS IN OPTION ON THE RANGE: TECHNICAL
SPECIFICATIONS OF ATTACHMENTS). The manufacturer’s liability will be denied in case of modification or of attachment adaptation carried out without
his knowing it.
Depending on their size, certain attachments may, when the boom is lowered and retracted, come into contact with the front tyres and cause damage
to them, if reverse tilt is activated in the forward tilt direction. TO REMOVE THIS RISK, EXTEND THE TELESCOPE TO A SUFFICIENT EXTENT FOR THE
PARTICULAR LIFT TRUCK AND ATTACHMENT SO THAT THIS CONTACT IS NOT POSSIBLE.
Maximum loads are defined by the capacity of a lift truck taking account of the attachment’s mass and centre of gravity. In the event of the attachment
having less capacity than the lift truck, never exceed this limit.
