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.
All attachments with a suspended load (winch, crane jib, crane jib with winch, hook, etc.) MUST be used with a lift truck equipped with
a hydraulic movement cut-out device. In this case, the movement cut-out must be switched on and the transverse attitude perfectly
horizontal.
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 jib 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.
