Fork Positioner
Capacity:
Maximum load capacity for fork positioner carriage is the same as standard
carriage without fork positioner.
Refer to Attachment Capacity Chart.
Capacity varies with boom extension and elevation positions.
Controls:
Figure 14-1
The auxiliary control lever is used to adjust
fork position. Pull lever back to close forks,
push lever forward to open forks.
Installation Procedure:
1. Remove standard carriage/fork combination or other attachment from boom
head.
See “Attachment Installation” Page 14.1
2. Install carriage/fork combination with positioner.
3. Connect auxiliary hydraulic hoses to positioner cylinders.
Light Material Bucket
Capacity:
Maximum capacity of light material bucket is shown on the attachment serial
number plate and may be used in areas where it does not exceed capacities
shown on standard carriage/fork capacity chart. Capacity must be reduced for
areas where maximum bucket capacity would exceed standard carriage/fork
capacity chart.
Attachment Tilt Controls:
Figure 14-2
Because the carriage tilt cylinder is used to tilt the bucket, the carriage tilt
lever is used to control the bucket. Pull lever back to raise bucket lip, push
lever forward to lower bucket lip.
Installation Procedure:
1. Remove carriage/fork combination or other attachment from boom head.
See Page 14.1
2. Install light material bucket on boom head.

PRECAUTIONS
• Always adjust fork position
before engaging load.
• As with all other attachments,
handler must be level before
handling a load more than four
feet above ground level.
See
“Leveling The Handler”
Page 12.0
WARNING
!

WARNING
!
PRECAUTIONS
• Handler must be level before
handling a load more than four
feet above ground level.
See Page 12.0
• Retract boom fully before
loading bucket. Loading bucket
with boom extended could
damage structural members or
extension chains.
• Avoid shock loads; drive into
stockpile smoothly to load
bucket.
• Do not use bucket as a lever to
pry heavy material. Excessive
prying forces could damage the
bucket.
• Do not use bucket for “back
dragging”. This could cause
severe damage to Quick Switch
fittings.

!
Observe all precautions and load
capacity limits (listed previously)
when handling loads with light
material bucket.
