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 pres-
sure 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 opera-
tion and damage to the truck/attachment hydraulic system.
Hydraulic flow specifications for your attachment can be
found on the attachment nameplate. (Section 1)
Notice
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) dimensions 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 to the attach-
ment 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
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.
1. Remove the lower bolt-on hooks and, if applicable, make
a note of any factory installed shims. Shims are used
to create clearance between the hook and carriage.
If the attachment is equipped with quick hooks, simply
depress the button on the back of the hooks, allowing
the slide plate to drop. Removal of the quick hooks is
NOT recommended. (Figure 4-1)

2. Center the truck behind the attachment and drive
toward the attachment with the mast tilted forward
approximately 4 degrees.
3. Line up the locking lug (under the hanger plate, if
applicable) with the appropriate notch on the truck’s
carriage. Check that the bronze sideshifting wear
strips are in the proper place, if applicable. Make sure
roller assembly is in place making contact with lower
carriage bar.
