Page 10: Know The Work Area
Do not move the attachment, or anything held in the jaws, over people, equipment or buildings. Do not throw or drop the contents. Operate the controls smoothly and gradually. Genesis GHG 16 - GHG 50 Handling Grapple © 2022 Genesis Attachments, LLC... -
Page 11: Safely Operate Equipment
3 A heavy load can cause equipment instability. Use extreme care during travel. Slow down on turns and watch out for bumps. The equipment may need additional counterweights to counterbalance the weight of the attachment. © 2022 Genesis Attachments, LLC Genesis GHG 16 - GHG 50 Handling Grapple 11... -
Page 12: Transporting The Attachment
Current in high voltage lines may arc some distance from the wire to a nearby ground. Keep all parts of the machine at least 50 feet (16m) away from power lines. Genesis GHG 16 - GHG 50 Handling Grapple © 2022 Genesis Attachments, LLC... -
Page 13: Use Care With Hydraulic Fluid Pressure
Allow hydraulic components to cool before working on them. Use appropriate protective clothing and safety equipment. If burned, seek immediate medical attention. © 2022 Genesis Attachments, LLC Genesis GHG 16 - GHG 50 Handling Grapple 13... -
Page 14: Prioritized Oil Flow
It is recommended to use dust suppression (such as water) or dust collection (such as a vacuum) along with personal protective equipment if necessary during the operation of any attachment that may cause high levels of silica dust.

Page 17: Maintenance Safety
Prior to maintenance, make sure the attachment is properly blocked to prevent accidental rotation. Do not rely on the rotation motor or other rotation components to inhibit movement during maintenance or servicing. Always perform appropriate Lockout/Tagout procedures. © 2022 Genesis Attachments, LLC Genesis GHG 16 - GHG 50 Handling Grapple 17... - Page 18 Never substitute pins or bolts. Use factory supplied pins. Replace all bolts with the same size and grade. Failure to do so may cause serious injury or death.
