The machine is designed and intended for use only with Manitou attachments or Man-
itou-approved attachments. To avoid possible personal injury, equipment damage and/
or performance problems, use only approved attachments that are within the operating
capacity of the machine. Contact your dealer or Manitou Americas for information
about attachment approval and compatibility with specific machine models. Manitou
Americas cannot be responsible if the machine is used with non-approved attach-
ments.
•
Read the operator’s manual provided with each attachment before using it.
•
Optional kits are available through your dealer. Because Manitou cannot anticipate,
identify and test all of the attachments owners may want to install on their machines,
please contact Manitou Americas, Inc. for information on approval of attachments,
and their compatibility with optional kits.
•
Remove all trash and debris from the machine each day, especially from within the
engine compartment, to minimize the risk of fire.

Keep the operator’s area, steps and hand-holds free of oil, dirt, ice and unsecured
objects.

machine and look for damage, loose or missing parts, leaks, etc. Repair as required
before using the machine.
