SECTION 4 INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
4.1 Truck Requirements
Long Reach attachments have been designed to oper-
ate within specific limits. Operating pressures above the
recommended maximum may cause damage to the at-
tachment and may void the warranty. Operating pressure
specifications for your attachment can be found on the
attachment nameplate. (Section 1)
Hydraulic flow less than the recommended rates, or the use
of small I.D. hoses may reduce operating speed. Higher flow
can result in excessive heat buildup, erratic operation and
damage to the truck/attachment hydraulic system. Hydraulic
flow specifications for your attachment can be found on
the attachment nameplate. (Section 1)
The dealer and/or the user must provide
and install the valving required to meet
the recommended hydraulic pressures
and flow, or must arrange installation of
the required valving at the truck factory.
The attachment model description, found
on your shipped invoice, will state the
following truck requirements: flow (gpm),
psi, and minimum truck carriage width.
1. The truck carriage must conform to the American
National Standard (ANSI) dimensions shown in ANSI/
ITSDF B56.11.4-2013.
2. Make sure the truck carriage is clean, conforms to
ANSI recommendations, and the notches are not
damaged.
3. The truck hydraulic system must supply the attach-
ment hydraulic oil that meets the specifications
required to operate the attachment properly.
3. The truck hydraulic system must supply to the attach-
ment with hydraulic oil that meets the specifications
required to operate the attachment properly. Find
specifications for your attachment on the attachment
nameplate. (Section 1)
4.2 Attachment Installation
1. Prior to connecting the truck hydraulic system to the
attachment, the system
must
be purged through the fil-
tration system. This will eliminate any contamination that
might exist in the auxiliary hydraulic system of the truck.
WARNING
Equipment overload hazard.
Overloading the truck may cause equipment
damage.
Consult truck nameplate to determine
the capacity of the truck and attachment
combination, as it may be less than the
capacity shown on the attachment alone.
2. Purging can be accomplished by installing a jumper
line and operating each hydraulic function (clamp,
rotate and side shift if equipped) in each direc-
tion for a minimum of 30 seconds. (Figure 4-1)
Hoses should be 2300 psi working pressure rated for
all attachment functions.
