SECTION 1 NAMEPLATE LOCATION NOTICE When you receive your attachment, locate the Long Reach nameplate (upper left corner on the body). Record the information from the nameplate, along with the date received, at the bottom of this page. If the nameplate is missing, look for the serial number stamped directly into the metal at the nameplate location and consult the factory for details.
SECTION 2 MODEL NUMBER DESCRIPTION Each attachment is identified by a model number and a serial number located on the nameplate attached to the unit prior to shipment. Long Reach’s model numbers are designed to describe how an attachment is equipped. The guide below gives a sample of information represented in a multi-digit model number.
SECTION 3 SAFETY SUMMARY 3.1 Safety Information Safety is Everyone’s Responsibility Whether you are new on the job or a seasoned veteran, these safety tips may prevent injury to you, to others, or to the materials you are handling. Always be alert, watch out for others, and follow these suggestions: Attachments handle material, not people.
CAUTION Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury, or equipment damage or void the machine warranty. Carefully read the message that follows to prevent minor or moderate injury. NOTICE Describes information that is useful but not safety related. WARNING Multiple hazards.
3.6 Personnel Safety • When removing or installing dismountable attachments always keep hands and feet free from dangerous positions or pinch points. Never leave a dismounted attachment in a dangerous position. • Keep hands, feet, long hair and clothing away from power-driven parts. Do not wear loose fitting clothing or jewelry while performing maintenance and lubrication in these areas.
3.7 Pre-start Checks • Check your equipment before you operate it. If anything looks wrong, unusual or different, report it before using the attachment. • Do not operate this machine if you know of malfunctions, missing parts, and/or mis-adjustments. These situations can cause or contribute to an accident or damage to the machine.
3.10 Electrical Hazards WARNING Electrocution hazard. Contact with energized equipment may result in injury or death and will damage equipment. Remain at least 25 feet from high voltage electrical wires. • All electrical cables and connectors must be in good condition (free of corrosion, damage, etc).
• Use extreme caution when using compressed air to blow parts dry. The pressure should not exceed 30 psi (208 kPa) at the nozzle. Never use compressed air on yourself. Air pressure penetrating your skin can be fatal. WARNING Suffocation hazard. Engine exhaust fumes can cause death.
• Do not use an attachment to open or close boxcar doors. Doing so can severely damage the attachment and cause loss of warranty. Damage to clamp arms may result in product damage. • Do not carry loose items or unsupported loads on top of a clamped load. •...
• Limit lift truck movement to a minimum when high stacking. Limit sideshift movement to a minimum when high stacking. • Always be observant when high stacking. Look for poorly stacked loads, overhead obstacles, broken cartons, or damaged products in the stack. •...
Equipment damage hazard. Injury or equipment damage may result if the attachment does NOT operate smoothly. Do not take malfunctioning equipment on the job. Check with your supervisor about needed repairs. 3.15 Industry Standards ANSI/ITSDF B56.1-2016 is the published sequence and direction standard for lever- and hand-type controls.

Operate the attachment continuously for several minutes to determine that all hydraulic connections are secure with no leaks, and to remove any air in the hydraulic system. NOTICE Equipment damage and loss of performance could result if air is trapped in the hydraulic system. Activate the hydraulic functions several times after hydraulic service has been performed, to bleed trapped air out of the system before returning attachment to service.
