Operation
Quick Attach System
This telehandler includes a quick attach system that allows for
easy attachment changes. Perform attachment connection
and removal procedures on level ground.
Warning
Improper connection of an auxiliary
attachment can result in death or serious
injury. Attachments not locked into place could
become unstable and fall on the operator or
other personnel near the telehandler, which
could result in death or serious injury.
•
Ensure attachment locking devices are always in place.
•
DO NOT operate the telehandler until you have positive
indication that the carriage attachment is fully engaged.

Hydraulic attachments have a
maximum hydraulic pressure
rating. Failure to make sure the
attachment is equipped with
a pressure reducing valve, or
is rated to be equal or greater than 3,500 psi, which is the
maximum pressure of the telehandler auxiliary hydraulic
system at the quick-disconnect couplers, could result in
death or serious injury.
Warning
When the auxiliary attachment
control lever is moved right or
left it activates hydraulic pressure
through the quick attach
couplers (A) and (B) to move the
carriage.
