GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Rapid Attach System (RAS) is specifically designed to provide safe attachment and retention of a range of accessories used on the machine. The RAS system basically comprises of an attach plate, retaining tongue and hydraulic power take off permanently fixed to the front frame (see Section 6).

The attachments are the machine’s working tools covering a wide range of applications including materials load haul dumping, heavy load handling and personnel elevation.

The operator and maintenance personnel must be trained and authorised to use and maintain the equipment and its attachments.

Attachments are designed to be secured to the RAS attach plate and lock tongue. Once the PTO hoses are disconnected after the lock tongue is engaged they can be used for various functions on the attachments. A second pair of PTO lines is available on the off driver’s side for an additional power take off such as the use of side shift forks or CHT-50 functions where independent control is provided.
