DAILY PRE-OPERATION INSPECTION
Daily, pre-operation inspection is recommended to help the operator safely use SAS FORKS™. The list below
is a general summary. This is not meant to be an exhaustive list of items to inspect. Refer to the machine
manufacturer’s operator manual for additional items that may need to be inspected prior to machine operation.
It is the responsibility of the Owners and Operators to ensure safe operation of equipment in the field. Any
unsafe items should be professionally repaired prior to operation of machine. This pre-operation inspection
should be done on level ground, with the parking brake on.
1) CHECK YOUR HYDRAULIC FITTINGS AND HOSES.
Inspect each hydraulic fitting & hose to ensure it is not worn, kinked, cracked, swelling, or leaking.
Have any damaged part(s) replaced immediately.
Do not operate the machine if damage is found.
2) GREASE AND INSPECT ALL THE LINKAGE PINS.
Inspect each linkage pin to ensure properly fastened and the condition.
Grease each linkage pin and joint to ensure smooth operation and to reduce wear.
Do not operate machine if linkage pin or retaining plate of bolt is worn, loose or missing.
3) CHECK THE WELDS ATTACHING THE BLADES TO THE CARRIAGE.
There are four welds attaching each blade to the carriage (two on each side of each blade).
Each weld should be smooth with no cracks. Do not operate machine if a weld is showing any signs of
cracking. Refer to this manual for repair instructions.
4) CHECK THE SKID PLATES ON THE BOTTOM OF THE SAS FORKS™ CARRIAGE.
Please see page 4 for details.
Replace if less than 1/8” thick.
Order replacement skid plates by calling: U.S.A. Phone: [phone] or 1-877-SAS-FORK.
5) CHECK ROCKER PANEL BUMPER PADS ON THE SAS CRUSHING FORKS.™
IF SO EQUIPPED.
Replace if severely cracked, torn or missing.
To order replacement pads call SAS Forks @ USA Phone :[phone] or 1-877-SAS-FORKS

SAS FORKS™ SKID PLATE INSPECTION
MAXIMIZE SAS FORKS™ LIFE WITH SKID PLATE MAINTENCE
To get the maximum life from your SAS FORK™ carriage, always keep the skid plates on the
bottom. Periodic inspection of the skid plates is needed. Order factory replacement skid plates
from S.A.S. of Luxemburg, Ltd. when they are worn thin (about 1/8”).
Carriage Skid Plates: Failure to keep skid plates on the carriage will result in structural damage to
the carriage and could result in tearing out one or both blades and necessitating the purchase of a
new carriage. The “carriage” is also referred to as the “shoe”, as shown in the diagram below.
DO NOT MAKE UNAUTHORIZED WELDS TO SAS FORKS™
To prolong the life of the SAS FORK™ assembly, do not weld on the forks except as shown in
this diagram. If you need to make any other repairs on the SAS FORKS™, please contact S.A.S.
of Luxemburg, Ltd. Engineering and discuss the situation with them.

OPERATING GUIDELINES FOR SAS FORKS™
1)ENTRY UNDER A VEHICLE:
Correct: The proper operation of the forks is to put the tapered portion of the fork blade parallel to the
ground and slide the fork blade under the car or truck.
Ground
⇑
[Heel]
When you approach a vehicle in this manner, the heel of the shoe (carriage) will actually be about 3 to 5
inches off the ground. At first this may seem that this is not the proper way to operate the forks,
however, it is correct.
TOO STEEP: Incorrect fork position:
When you put the tips on the ground and the heel (the back
of the fork) is 15 to 20 inches high, the angle of the blade
is so great that the vehicle cannot easily slide up on the
f
o
rk
b
la
de.
TOO FLAT: Incorrect fork position:
If you have the top surface of the blade parallel to the
ground as you go under a vehicle, you will tear up the
bottom of the vehicle being picked up.
CORRECT SAS FORK™ position:
The best possible angle of the forks to slide under a
vehicle is when the tapered surface of the blade is parallel
to the ground. The forks were designed, tested, and use-
proven to give you the fastest and easiest entry possible
using this method.

2) MAXIMUM LIFT HEIGHTS
All machines (loaders / fork lifts / fork trucks / etc.) have height lifting limitations. The identification
plate on your SAS FORKS™ specifies the maximum height a load may be lifted safely with SAS
FORKS™. (Some machine’s maximum lift height is only 8’)
Load Height limitations can usually be found:
•On the SAS FORKS™ identification plate
•In your machine manufacturer’s operator manual
•Identify the most restricted limitation and do not exceed it.
If your loader has an automatic lift detent, remove it or lock it out.
ITEM 3 APPLIES TO ARTICULATING LOADERS:
3) TURNING WHILE CARRYING A LOAD
While carrying a load on the forks, keep it low to the ground. It is not safe to turn (articulate) if the
load is more than 2 feet above the ground. When there is a need to raise a load in excess of 2 feet,
you must be sure that the turn is not in excess of 5°to the right or left. The best way to lift loads at
heights above 2 feet is to “line up” with the truck/trailer/semi/etc. before raising the load. When your
machine is lined up straight on with the truck/trailer/semi/etc. or what ever you are lifting to, you
should then lift the load and place it without turning the machine.
Do not turn (articulate) with a load in excess of 2 feet above the ground.
TIPS FOR BETTER RESULTS USING SAS FORKS™
BE CAREFULL IN RAINY OR SNOWY WEATHER:
a) Vehicles become slippery on the fork blades when wet or when ice or snow is on the blades. Tip the
blades back about 5°so the vehicle doesn’t slip off the end of the forks. Drive very slowly.
b) The road or yard surface can become very slippery because of ice and packed snow. Your machine
is very heavy and is difficult to stop if it begins to slide. You may run into other vehicles, a building,
or people and not be able to stop. Drive very slowly in this type of weather.

SAS FORKS™ OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
1) PEOPLE AND PEDESTRIANS:
At all times you must be aware of the location of all people in the vicinity of your loader and the
vehicle you are transporting. You are responsible to maintain a safe operating distance from them.
A minimum recommended distance that all people must stay clear from an operating loader and
it’s vehicle load is 30 feet. This 30 feet must be maintained all the way around the loader and the
vehicle load. If a person comes within this safety zone, carefully bring the loader to a complete
stop and inform the person that they must stay at least 30 feet away for safety reasons.
2) BACKING SAFETY WARNING:
When backing up (reverse) with the loader/fork lift, a safety beep shall sound to warn all people
that you are backing up. If this safety beep is found inoperable at any time, it must be
immediately fixed prior to further use of the loader.
3) VEHICLES DROPPING, FALLING OR TIPPING OFF THE FORKS:
This could be extremely dangerous and costly event.
A vehicle falling on a person may cause serious injury or even death.
To prevent the vehicle from dropping, falling or tipping off the forks:
Pick up the vehicle on the forks evenly, centering the load on the forks from right to left.
Tip the blades back about 5°. This will prevent the vehicle from sliding off the end of the
forks. Drive the loader at a reasonable speed to prevent bouncing or jarring of the vehicle
on the forks, from bumps in the road.
To prevent injury in the case of a vehicle unexpectedly leaving the forks:
It is imperative that you maintain adequate clearance away from all people and pedestrians
at a minimum of 30 feet from the front, back and all sides of the loader and the vehicle on
the forks. If a person comes within this safety zone, carefully bring the loader to a
complete stop, lower the vehicle carried on the forks to the ground and inform the person
that they must stay at least 30 feet away for safety reasons.

SAS FORKS™ SAFETY INFORMATION
If your loader has an automatic dump feature, or detent raise features --disconnect it immediately.
WARNING: DO NOT ALLOW THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS TO OCCUR. SERIOUS INJURY OR
DEATH COULD RESULT IF THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS ARE ALLOWED.
1) Never raise the forks in excess of the recommended height above the ground. The load may suddenly
dump without any control or warning. The maximum recommended height for lifting loads will vary from 8’
to 11’ depending on the specific machine.
2) Never articulate the loader more than 5 degrees right or left with the load at a height of more than 2 feet
above ground. The loader could tip over.
3) Never pick up a unit weighing more than the rated load-see the load rating plate. The loader may tip over.
See the SAS FORKS™ identification plate for load limitations. Also refer to the machine manufacturer’s
serial plate for load and lift limitations. Adhere to the most restrictive limitation.
4) Never put the tips of the forks on the ground and raise the front wheels of the loader off the ground. Four
things will eventually happen: 1) The tips of your forks will eventually bend upward.
2) The loader may tip over.
3) The blade retaining welds may crack or break.
4) The blades will eventually crack from the bottom up.
5) Never lift a load and let someone walk or work under the forks. Anything could happen and the load may
drop crushing anyone under the load.
6) Never raise the forks to the maximum lifting height and point the
fork blades in the air. You could hit a power line and be electrocuted.
7) Never attempt to grease the fork pins when the machine is running, you could be crushed in the operating
linkage.
8) Never attempt to grease the fork pins when the forks are lifted up off the ground, you could be crushed if
the forks would drop to the ground.
9)Never operate the loader without the correct tire pressure in all tires. One soft tire could cause the loader to
tip over.
10)Never operate your machine with the automatic dump feature engaged or with the detent in the raise
position.
