Working with attachments
Assembling attachments
If attachments are assembled at the place of
use, the specifications in the operating instruc-
tions for the attachment must be followed.
Prior to being put into service for the first time,
proper operation of the attachment and visibil-
ity from the driver’s position with and without
a load must be checked by a specialist (see
⇒ Chapter "Definition of terms used for re-
sponsible persons", P. 20). If the visibility is
deemed insufficient, visual aids such as mir-
rors, a camera/monitor system etc. must be
used.
If an attachment is not delivered together with
the forklift truck, the specifications and oper-
ating instructions of the attachment manufac-
turer must be followed.
CAUTION
Attachments must be CE-certified. If there is no
attachment-specific residual lifting capacity plate
mounted on the forklift truck, the CE conformity is
void.
– Order the residual lifting capacity plate (see
⇒ Chapter "Taking up a load using attach-
ments", P. 5-121) promptly from your service
centre.
WARNING
There is a risk of accident from a falling load!
– If attaching a clamp with an integral sideshift,
make sure that the clamp does not open when
operating the sideshift.
– Contact your service centre prior to installation.
Hydraulic connection
– Prior to assembling attachments, the
plug-in couplings must be depressurised.
Fastening attachments
The fastening of an attachment and the con-
necting of the energy supply for power-driven
attachments must be performed only by com-
petent persons according to the specifications
of the manufacturer and the supplier of the
