OPERATION
1. Approach the load in such a fashion that the weight will be centered between the
fork tines. The heaviest side should be closest to the fork frame and not near
the tips of the fork tines.
2. Before lifting, make certain the fork tines are completely under the load and level.
3. Lift the load slightly to make sure the load is stable. If the load appears unstable,
lower and reposition the tines to achieve full stability.
4. Raise the loader to the MINIMUM height required for the terrain.
5. During material handling: keep the fork tines level, stop and start the machine
gradually, slow down before turning and avoid obstacles, bumps or holes.
Check load frequently to ensure stability.
Adjusting The Fork Tines
With the machine arms lowered and completely rolled back, shut down the machine, set
the parking brake and remove the key. (If the tines are still in contact with the ground the
arms may need to be raised just enough to eliminate contact.)
From the right side of your pallet fork, adjust the position of the right fork tine by lifting
the lever to the unlock position and sliding the fork tine to the desired location. Lower the
lever back to lock the fork tine in place. Make sure that the latch has been set into a notch
and therefore securing the tine to the frame.
Move to the left side of the pallet fork frame and repeat the adjustment procedure to the
left fork tine. Make sure that the left tine is the same distance from the center of the frame
as the right tine.
WARNING: Never exceed the recommended lifting capacity of any approved fork
tines or the loader.
