Quick Attach System
This forklift 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 forklift,
which could result in death or serious injury.
• Make sure attachment locking devices are always in
place.
• DO NOT operate the forklift until you have positive
indication that the carriage attachment is fully engaged.

4. Raise the boom until pivot pins (A) have seated fully in
attachment hooks (B).
To move the forks outward, press the top button (1) on the
front control handle, or move the auxiliary handle (3) to the
left. To move the forks inward, press the lower button (2) on
the front control handle, or move the auxiliary handle (3) to
the right (gure 69).
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 forklift 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.
