Prior to installing the att achme nt ve rify it is ap proved an d th e teleh andle r is eq uippe d
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 ma ximum l oad ce nter ( 3). Total attachme nt cap acity 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 “Approved
Attachments” 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 f orks , 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.

5.4 USE OF THE CAPACITY CHART

To properly use the capacity chart (see page 5-4), the operator must first determine
and/or have the following:

1. An approved attachment. See “Approved Attachments” on page5-1.

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 teleha ndler 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.

5.7 ADJUSTING/MOVING FORKS

Carriages may have di fferent locations where forks can be positioned. Two different
methods can be used for repositioning, depending upon the carriage structure.

Note: Apply a light coating of appropriate lubricant to ease sliding of forks or fork
bar.

To slide forks:

1. Ensure attachment is properly installed. See “Attachment Installation” on
page 5-7.

2. Elevate attachment to approximately 5 ft (1,5 m) and tilt carriage forward until
fork heel is free from attachment.

3. Stand at the side of the carriage. To slide fork toward the center of the carriage,
push the fork near the fork eye. To slide fork toward the edge of the carriage,
pull the fork near the fork eye. To avoid pinching, do not place fingers or thumb
between the fork and carriage structure.

If removing fork bar is necessary:

1. Rest forks on ground.

2. Remove fork bar.

3. Reposition forks.

4. Reinstall the fork bar and fork bar retaining mechanism(s).
