DEFINITION OF SAFETY TERMS AND SYMBOLS
Throughout this manual, the terms DANGER,WARNING, and CAUTION are used to indicate the degree of
hazard to personnel if proper safety procedures are not followed. These words will be used in conjunction with the Safety
Alert Symbol: a dark triangle containing a white exclamation mark.
The Safety Alert Symbol means:
ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!
DANGER Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
WILL result in death or serious injury.
WARNING Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
may result in minor or moderate injury;
OR
mayalso be used to alert against unsafe practices that may result in personal injury.
ACCIDENTS CAN BE PREVENTED WITH
YOUR HELP !
No accident prevention program can be successful
without the wholehearted cooperation of the person who
is directly responsible for the operation of the equipment.
To read equipment accident reports from all over the
country is to be convinced that a large number of
accidents can be prevented only by operators who
consistently anticipate the results of their actions and
thus prevent accidents from ever occurring. No power-
driven equipment, whether it is on the highway, in a farm
field, or in an industrial plant, can be any safer than is
allowed by the person who is at the controls.
If accidents are to be prevented (and accidents can be
prevented), that prevention will come from equipment
operators who accept their complete responsibility.
The designer, the manufacturer, and the safety engineer
all help create a safe product, but the operator of that
product can wipe out their combined efforts with a single
careless act.
The best safety device is a careful operator. FFC and
your dealer ask that YOU be that careful, responsible
equipment operator.
YOU ARE THE KEY TO SAFETY BECAUSE:
YOU are responsible for the SAFE operation and
maintenance of YOUR Pallet Fork.
YOU are responsible to familiarize yourself, and anyone
else who will assemble, operate, maintain, or work
around this product, with the SAFETY information
contained in this manual.
YOU are responsible to read ALL information contained
in this manual to any operators or maintenance person-
nel who are not fully able to read the written English
language. Whether YOU read the manual as written or
translate it into another language, YOU must make cer-
tain that all operators and maintenance personnel have
a complete understanding of the full and exact contents
of this manual. Translations of this manual into other
languages are available by submitting an order to FFC.
YOU can reduce the risk of injury or death by following
all safety precautions and by using good safety
practices.

PALLET FORK MOUNTING
SAFETY FIRST!! READ AND UNDERSTAND THE SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS (pages 2-5 of this manual) BEFORE BEGINNING ANY
PALLET FORK MOUNTING
1. Place this product on a firm, level surface that is large enough to safely accommodate this product, your power unit
and all workers involved in the mounting process.
2. Refer to the operator’s manual(s) for your power unit, loader, and quick-attach and follow the mounting instructions
contained therein.
3. Carefully raise the loader and cycle the tilt cylinders to check clearances and to verify that all mounting procedures
have been successfully completed.

PALLET FORK OPERATION
SAFETY FIRST!! READ AND UNDERSTAND THE SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS (pages 2-5 of this manual) BEFORE BEGINNING ANY
PALLET FORK OPERATION
ADJUSTING THE FORK TEETH
The fork teeth should be adjusted to provide both:
xthe maximum width allowable and
xthe optimum stability of the load.
The fork teeth should be adjusted by:
1. Park your power unit on a level surface with this product properly attached.
2. Place your power unit’s transmission in “Park” and engage the parking brake.
3. Completely lower the loader arms and fully roll the dump cylinders back toward the operator.
(NOTE: If the fork teeth are still in contact with the level surface after completing step 3, then raise the loader
arms just enough to eliminate that contact.)
4. Shut off your power unit’s engine, remove the starter key, and wait for all moving parts to come to a stop.
CAUTION
Failure to obey the following procedures may result in personal injury.
xNever place your hands or fingers between the main back plate and a fork tooth, especially
when repositioning a fork tooth.
5. From the right side of your pallet fork, adjust the position of the right fork tooth.
xFlip the latch on the top of the fork tooth so that the latch stays in the vertical position, then slide the fork tooth to
the desired position by pushing or pulling high and low on the vertical portion of the fork tooth. Restore the latch
to the horizontal position and make sure that the latch has been set in a notch.
6. Move to the left side of your pallet fork and repeat the adjustment process for the left fork tooth. Make sure that the
left fork tooth is the same distance from the center of the main back plate as is the right fork tooth.
Maximum Load Permitted
The maximum loads lifted by these products shall never exceed the ALLOWABLE LOAD values. These ALLOWABLE
LOAD values are the same as the “Lift Capacity of Power Unit’s loader” values listed on page 6. The center of gravity
of the ALLOWABLE LOADS must be applied within the first 24” of the fork teeth when measured from the front face of the
vertical section of the fork teeth out toward the tip of the horizontal section of the fork teeth.
IMPORTANT Lifting a load heavier than the ALLOWABLE LOAD
or centered farther than 24” out on the fork teeth
CAN result in damage to this product and
WILL
void all FFC warranties.

PALLET FORK OPERATION (Continued)
SAFETY FIRST!! READ AND UNDERSTAND THE SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS (pages 2-5 of this manual) BEFORE BEGINNING ANY
PALLET FORK OPERATION
WARNING
Failure to obey the following procedures could result in death or serious injury.
xLift only objects that have solid bases that will rest securely on the forks. Objects with uneven,
irregular, or rounded bases (especially round bales of forage) can easily tip off or roll off the
forks on to the operator or others.
xDo not lift any object that is tall enough to extend above the top surface of the guard portion of
the main back plate.
xDo not lift any unsecured or unbanded items that are small enough to fit through any of the
openings in the guard portion of the main back plate.
xKeep the lifting surface of the forks level at all times while lifting any object.
xDo not roll back this product so far that the load falls off toward or on the operator.
IMPORTANT Using a fork tooth or teeth to pry on any object
CAN result in damage to this product and
WILL
void all FFC warranties.
POSITIONING THE LOAD
1. Approach the load so that the weight will be centered between the fork teeth. If the load has a heavy side, then that
side should be closest to the main back plate rather than near the tips of the fork teeth.
2. Make certain that the fork teeth are completely under the load and are level.
3. Lift the load slightly and make sure that the load is secure. If the load appears to be unstable, lower the load,
reposition the load to achieve full stability, and repeat steps 2 and 3 until full stability is achieved.
TRANSPORTING THE LOAD
1. Raise the load to the minimum height required for the terrain that must be crossed with the load.
2. Operate the power unit so that:
xthe load always remains level,
xaccelerating, turning, and braking are done very gradually,
xand any obstacles, bumps, or holes in your intended path are avoided.
3. Frequently check the load to make sure that the load has not become unstable.
PALLET FORK MAINTENANCE
SAFETY FIRST!! READ AND UNDERSTAND THE SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS (pages 2-5 of this manual) BEFORE BEGINNING ANY
PALLET FORK MAINTENANCE
BEFORE EACH USE
xMake sure that all nuts and bolts are in place and properly tightened.
xMake sure that all other fasteners are in place and are performing their specified function.
xMake sure that all safety signs are in place, are clean, and are legible.
(SEE THE SAFETY SIGN SECTION ON PAGE 5.)
xReplace any damaged parts and excessively worn parts.
