Demount the lower hooks (2).

Mount the attachment on the fork carriage of the lift truck.

Check that the attachment is correctly seated in the centre lock (3).

Mount the lower hooks (2), tightening the screws (4) with a torque of 190 Nm.

Use pipes or hoses to connect the hydraulic ports (5) to the hydraulic ports of the lift truck.

Trucks equipped with attachments which hold the load by power (e.g. paper clamp) shall
feature control(s) with a secondary action to prevent unintentional release of the load. Also
take note in this respect of the operating instruction of the lift truck.

Before initial operation, check the functions and the identification of the attachment with the
movement directions of the operating elements (operating lever, joystick, etc.).

Mount the residual carrying capacity notice and identification of the operating elements (if
not already present) of the combination of lift truck/attached equipment on the lift truck.
4.1.2 Installation / Uninstallation screw-on forks

When installating or uninstalling the screw-on forks torque the scews as specified in
Chapter 6.1 General.
4.2 Checking out
KAUP-attachments are delivered pre-lubricated. If the attachment has been in storage
for a longer period, we recommend that it be lubricated again before being placed in
service. See 6. Maintenance and onwards.
Failure of the safety devices (e.g. the pressure relief valve and the non-return
valve) and incorrect connection of the controls to the actuators can cause
malfunctioning of the attachment and damage to it.
After mounting and before initial operation, check the functions and the
identification of the attached equipment with the movement directions of the
operating elements (operating lever, joystick, etc.).

4.2.1 Bleeding the hydraulic system

Start the lift truck.

Move the sideshifter repeatedly in both directions to maximum extent.

Repeatedly cycle the clamp / fork positioner from the fully open to the fully closed
position.

Inspect the hydraulic connections for leakage.
4.2.2 Adjustment after putting into service
The hydraulic system is under pressure. During work on hydraulic components
oil spurting out can cause injuries. Unload the system in accordance with the
operating instructions of the lift truck manufacturer. In the case of injuries
caused by high pressure oil, inform the works physician and seek out a
specialist immediately.
Synchronising the arms
The synchronization of arms is adjusted ex-factory. This can alter for different friction
conditions (wear), temperatures and volumes conveyed. Perform a readjustment. The
recommended working temperature of the hydraulic fluid is approx. 35 °C.
The synchronization is adjustable by means of two throttles on the bottom of the cylinders.
Setting the clamping pressure with a pressure limiting valve
Attachments are adjusted ex-factory to a pressure of 160 bar.

A change in pressure is necessary only, if the load
slips or
is damaged.
Make the settings in the numerical sequence and in the direction of the arrows.
The pressure indication on the manometer gauge drops after clamping.
This is not a malfunction of the attachment, being caused by the installation of a
transmission
5. Operation
5.1 General
At least once per working shift, the machine and equipment must be inspected for
visible damage and defects.
Repeat faults to your superior and have them rectified without delay..
Be aware of persons present in the area where you are working or driving and ensure
that they are not endangered.
Do not transport any load exceeding that specified on the residual load plate for the
particular combination of lift truck and attachment.
Note the load-bearing capacity of the attachment as stated on the rating plate. This
figure always represents the load carried by two or more fork arms.
The nominal capacity of the forks must exceed the load.

Operating Manual

Original Operating Manual
5.2 Load handling
Set the forks as wide apart as possible for the load to be carried.
Position the mast vertically and take up the load parallel to the floor.
Always transport pallets, boxes and containers using both forks.
Drive the attachment up to the load to maximum extent.
Raise the load about 300 mm and tilt the mast backwards.
Centre the load to the middle of the lift truck during take-up and transport.
5.3 Driving
Ensure that pallets, boxes, containers and packaging are in good condition.
Do not drive with the mast tilted forward.
Take care when driving that neither the attachment nor the load comes into contact
with the ground.
Ensure that multiple items stacked on top of one another are securely fastened.
6. Maintenance and servicing
6.1 General
Regular maintenance is essential to ensure reliable operation and long service life of the KAUP
attachment.
Ensure that maintenance and servicing are performed by qualified and authorised
