Also included in this manual are a number of safety instructions to create a safe working environment.
A pallet forks frame allows you to attach attachments or forks with a FEM connection. A pallet forks
frame turns your telehandler/tractor-loader into a multifunctional machine that’s ready for any job.
Check your machine manual to make sure you opt for the right pallet forks frame with the correct load
capacity. Do not use this product for any other purposes.
Please read the manual thoroughly and observe the safety procedures before putting the unit into
operation. The operator and all persons who come into contact with the equipment should read it
carefully and regularly and have access to it at all times.
Keep this manual near the equipment and in a safe place for future reference!
Contact your dealer for any further questions or concerns you may have.
We guarantee a long period of trouble free operation if the unit is operated and maintained correctly.
We hope you will enjoy working with your pallet forks frame.
This pallet forks frame may be unsafe if adequate maintenance is neglected.Therefore,
adequate maintenance facilities, trained personnel and procedures should be provided.
Maintenance and inspection shall be performed conformity to the following practices:
1. A scheduled planned maintenance, lubrication and inspection system should be followed
(see maintenance instructions chapter 7).
2. Only qualified and authorised personnel shall be permitted to maintain, repair, adjust, and
inspect the pallet forks frame.
3. Modifications and additions which affect capacity and safe operation shall not be
performed by the customer or user without the manufacturer’s prior written approval.
Capacity, operation and maintenance plates or decals shall be changed accordingly.
4. If modifications are made without the written approval of the manufacturer, the warranty
will no longer apply.
Any person in charge of putting the machine into operation, the operation itself or the
maintenance of the machine is urged to carefully read and observe the following instructions.
Make sure that the operators of this product are familiar with the safety instructions and follow

• Do not use a pallet forks frame unless you are of age.
• The person responsible for the use of the product must make sure that all of the safety rules
in force in the country of its use are applied, to guarantee that the equipment is used in
conformity with the use for which it is destined and to avoid any dangerous situation for the
user.
• People who come into contact with this equipment and use procedures, working practices
or tools that are not described in this manual are responsible for the safe and proper
operation of the equipment.
• Never allow people to climb on or move under the equipment or load.

12/28
In addition to the safety regulations described in this section, please take not of all the
information provided in the manual of the lifting device onto which the pallet forks frame has
to be mounted.
Failure to comply with the basic safety norms or precautions may lead to accidents during
operation, maintenance or repair of the equipment.
It is often possible to avoid accidents by recognizing potentially dangerous situations before
they occur. The operations must be aware of potential dangers and possess the training,
competence and the equipment necessary to correctly carry out the work.
CAM attachments cannot under any circumstances be held responsible for accidents or
damage resulting from the use of the equipment by inadequately trained personnel or if
inappropriate use has been made of the same, as well as the, even partial, non-observance of
the safety norms and the intervention procedures contained in the present manual and in that
of the lifting device.
CAM attachments cannot envisage each possible circumstance that may result in danger.
Therefore the warnings given in this publication and which appear on the equipment are not
exhaustive.
In the event that equipment, procedures, work methods or working techniques are used that
are not specifically advised by the CAM attachments company, it is necessary to make sure
that there is no danger to the operator or other people.
