Section 5 - Attachments and Hitches
SECTION 5 - ATTACHMENTS AND HITCHES
5.1APPROVED ATTACHMENTS
To determine if an attachment is approved for use on the specific telehandler you
are using, perform the following prior to installation.
• The attachment type, weight, dimensions and load center must be equal to or
less than the data shown on a capacity chart located in the operator cab.
• The model on the capacity chart must match the model telehandler being used.
• Hydraulically powered attachments must only be used on machines equipped
with auxiliary hydraulics.
• Hydraulically powered attachments that require auxiliary electrics must only be
used on machines equipped with auxiliary hydraulics and electrics.
If any of the above conditions are not met, do not use the attachment. The
telehandler may not be equipped with the proper capacity chart or the attachment
may not be approved for the model telehandler being used. Contact JLG or the local
distributor for further information.
5.2UNAPPROVED ATTACHMENTS
Do not use unapproved attachments for the following reasons:
• Range and capacity limitations for “will fit,” homemade, altered, or other
non-approved attachments cannot be established.
• An overextended or overloaded telehandler can tip over with little or no warning
and cause serious injury or death to the operator and/or those working nearby.
• The ability of a non-approved attachment to perform its intended function safely
cannot be assured.
WARNING
Use only approved attachments. Attachments which have not been approved for
use with your telehandler could cause machine damage or an accident.

5.4TELEHANDLER/ATTACHMENT/FORK CAPACITY
Prior to installing the attachment verify it is approved and the telehandler is equipped
with the proper capacity chart. See “Approved Attachments” on page 5-1.
To determine the maximum capacity of the telehandler and attachment, use the
smallest of the following capacities:
• Capacity stamped on the attachment identification plate (1).
• Fork capacities and load centers are stamped on the side of each fork (2)
(if equipped). This rating specifies the maximum load capacity that the individual
fork can safely carry at the maximum load center (3). Total attachment capacity is
multiplied by the number of forks on the attachment (if equipped), up to the
maximum capacity of the attachment.
• Maximum capacity as indicated on the proper capacity chart. See “ApprovedAttachments” on page 5-1.
• When the load rating of the telehandler differs from the capacity of the forks or
attachment, the lower value becomes the overall load capacity.
Use the proper capacity chart to determine maximum capacity at various machine
configurations. Lifting and placing a load may require use of more than one capacity
chart based on machine configuration.
Other than block forks, all forks should be used in matched pairs, block forks used in
matched sets.
Never use an attachment without the appropriate JLG approved capacity chart
installed on the telehandler.

5.5USE OF THE CAPACITY CHART
To properly use the capacity chart (see page 5-6), the operator must first determine
and/or have the following:
1. An approved attachment. See “Approved Attachments” on page 5-1.
2. The proper Capacity Chart(s).
3. Weight of the load being lifted.
4. Load placement information:
a. HEIGHT where the load is to be placed.
b. DISTANCE from the front tires of the telehandler to where the load is to be
placed.
5. On the capacity chart, find the line for the height and follow it over to the
distance.
6. The number in the load zone where the two cross is the maximum capacity for
this lift. If the two cross at a division between zones, the smaller number must
be used.
The number in the load zone must be equal to or greater than the weight of the load
to be lifted. Determine the limits of the load zone on the capacity chart and keep
within these limits.
