SECTION 4 INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
4.1 Truck Requirements
Long Reach attachments have been designed to operate within specific limits. Operating
pressures above the recommended maximum may cause damage to the attachment
and may void the warranty. Operating pressure specifications for your attachment can
be found on the attachment nameplate. (Section 1)
Hydraulic flow less than the recommended rates, or the use of small I.D. hoses may reduce
operating speed. Higher flow can result in excessive heat buildup, erratic operation and
damage to the truck/attachment hydraulic system. Hydraulic flow specifications for your
attachment can be found on the attachment nameplate. (Section 1)
The dealer and/or the user must provide and install the
valving required to meet the recommended hydraulic
pressures and flow, or must arrange installation of the
required valving at the truck factory.
The attachment model description, found on your shipped
invoice, will state the following truck requirements: flow
(gpm), psi, and minimum truck carriage width.
1. The truck carriage must conform to the American National Standard (ANSI) dimen-
sions shown in ANSI/ITSDF B56.11.4-2013.
2. Make sure the truck carriage is clean, conforms to ANSI recommendations, and
the notches are not damaged.
3. The truck hydraulic system must supply the attachment with hydraulic oil that meets
the specifications required to operate the attachment properly. Find specifications
for your attachment on the attachment nameplate. (Section 1)
4.2 Attachment Installation
1. Prior to connecting the truck hydraulic system to the attachment, the system
must
be purged through the filtration system. This will eliminate any contamination that
might exist in the auxiliary hydraulic system of the truck.
WARNING
Equipment overload hazard.
Overloading the truck may cause equipment damage.
Consult truck nameplate to determine the capacity of the
truck and attachment combination, as it may be less than
the capacity shown on the attachment alone.
