WHEEL LOADER RECOMMENDATIONS:
REMOVE YOUR “AUTOMATIC DUMP” FEATURE ON YOUR BUCKET LEVER.
The automatic dump feature was originally intended for loaders moving gravel in buckets and sub-
sequently dumping it into trucks. This is not a desired feature when moving vehicles with SAS
FORKS™. Have this automatic dump mechanism removed if your machine has one.
REMOVE YOUR “LOCK POSITION” AND “DETENT’ CONTROLS
Remove the lock position and detent controls on the up and down levers. These controls, if left
operable on your machine, could cause accidents by raising or lowering the load without the
operator being aware that the lever is engaged.
DIRECT PIN MOUNT TYPE SAS FORKS:
• Park wheel loader on firm level ground, • Set parking brake • Set attachment flat on ground
• Turn off wheel loader engine • Depressurize the wheel loader’s hydraulic system to release any
residual pressure and resulting tension on the wheel loader arms.
Failure to properly release residual hydraulic system
pressure may result in stored energy and undesired or unexpected
movement of wheel loader arms when pins are removed.
 Grease holes using a brush. Do not insert finger into pin hole opening, as there is a risk of a
pinch point and finger being severed.• Align holes on SAS Fork carriage with wheel loader
arm holes. • Grease pins • Insert pins & secure properly.• Start wheel loader and slowly move
attachment, while carefully watching for interference points. If any are found, “stops” may
need to be installed. Contact SAS Forks to discuss.
QUICK COUPLER MOUNT TYPE SAS FORKS:
• Align SAS Forks squarely to coupler & engage locking pins.
Locking pins must be fully engaged and secure prior to use.
Failure to properly secure coupler
locking pins will result in damage to
the forks and the coupler and forks may
fall off the coupler & drop load, risking
damage to the load and injury or death
to anyone in the area.
