WARNING
Using your Genesis attachment in unauthorized applica-
tions may create an unsafe situation and will void the war-
ranty.
Process Material Safely
• Do not pull down structures with your Genesis attachment. Doing so may cause falling debris
or material may break free and exceed the capacities of the carrier, causing a tipping hazard.
• The rotator should only be used for positioning your Genesis attachment. Do not use the rota-
tor to pry or break material.
Lift the Load Safely
• The hydraulic system has been preset and tested by your dealer. Do not alter hydraulic set-
tings without consulting an authorized Genesis dealer or the Genesis Service Department.
Doing so will void the warranty and may cause structural damage, accidents or tipping.
• Make sure the load is held securely in the tines. Do not move a loaded attachment if load is
loose or dangling. Make sure the load is pinched between the tines – never cradle a load.
Place the Load Safely
• Do not move the attachment, or anything held in the tines, over people, equipment or build-
ings. Place the load gently. Do not throw or drop the contents.
• Operate the controls smoothly and gradually. Jerky controls are hazardous and may cause
damage to the carrier.
•
Avoid fire hazards. Keep the area clean. Remove all flammable materials from the area during
any welding or heating process. Have a fire extinguisher nearby and know how to use it.
• Never substitute pins or bolts. Use factory supplied pins. Replace all bolts with the same size
and grade. Failure to do so may cause serious injury or death.
• Use your Genesis attachment only as directed in this manual. Do not use the attachment to lift
and move other objects. Doing so may cause instability and tipping.
