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.
WARNING
Never use an attachment without the appropriate JLG approved capacity chart
installed on the telehandler.
5-33128447
Section 5 - Attachments
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.

Example
A contractor owns a model xxxxx telehandler with a fork carriage. He knows this
attachment may be used with his model since:
• The attachment style, weight, dimensions and load center match the attachment
data on the capacity chart.
• The capacity chart is clearly marked for model xxxxx and corresponds with
machine configuration being used.
Below are examples with various conditions the contractor may encounter and
whether or not the load may be lifted.
