This ensures that the exposure of the operator’s body to vibrations complies with the requisites for the protection against vibrations when the machine operates as required by the operational scopes in accordance with the prescriptions of this manual.

The weighted average acceleration value to which the operator’s arms are subjected does not exceed 2.5 m/s2 (8.2 ft/s2).

The weighted average acceleration value to which the operator’s body is subjected does not exceed 0.5 m/s2 (1.64 ft/s2).

These results have been obtained by using an acceleration gauge during the ditches excavation works.

ON JOB SITES Operate all controls progressively so the machine works smoothly.

Modify your driving to suit working conditions.

During travel, adjust your speed and slow down if necessary.

Make sure the machine is working on firm ground, with no holes or obstacles.

INTRODUCTION, SAFETY, PLATES AND DECALS PRECAUTIONS FOR WASTE DISPOSAL Improperly disposing of waste can threaten the environment.

Each country has its own Regulations on this subject. It is therefore advisable to prepare suitable containers to collect and store momentarily all solid and fluid materials that must not be scattered in the environment to avoid pollution.

At preset intervals these products will be delivered to disposal stations legally recognized and present in this Country.

Hereunder are listed some products of the machine requiring disposal: - hydraulic oil;

23

- brake system oil; - coolant mixture, condensation rests and pure antifreeze; - diesel oil; - oil and diesel oil filter elements; - engine and air conditioning air filter elements; - battery.

Also polluting rags, paper, sawdust and gloves must be disposed in compliance with the same procedures.

Do not use food or beverage containers that may mislead someone into drinking from them. Do not pour waste onto the ground, down a drain, or into any water source. Air conditioning refrigerants escaping into the air can damage the Earth’s atmosphere. Government regulations may require a certified air conditioning service centre to recover and recycle used air conditioning refrigerants. Obtain information on the proper way to recycle or dispose of waste from your local environmental or recycling centre, or from your Dealer.

As long as the parking brake is engaged, the forward and reverse functions can only be preselected, but not activated.

The forward (11) or reverse (13) directions are indicated only after the parking brake has been released.

The gears can be shifted only after the parking brake has been released.

With switch (3) you can switch-over from slow speed to work speed and vice versa.

When the low speed is engaged, lamp (12) is on.

When the low speed is active, the machine movement is limited to the maximum speed allowed by this gear. This is important for work requiring low working speeds.

32

When the working speed is active, the low range will shift automatically.

BUCKET CONTROL LEVER With control lever (A) you can carry out following operation.

Controls layout: 0 = Stop 1 = Lifting 2 = Lowering 2a = Floating 3 = Back-tipping 4 = Dumping 33

2-18

CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTS FLOATING POSITION OF BUCKET

S WARNING S Never activate the floating function when the working equipment is in lifted position as the equipment would otherwise sink too fast.

In machines with pipe break protection, the floating position is not operational. The control lever cannot be moved to position 2a.

Position 2a allows the floating at ground level during reversal.

Lower the bucket to the ground. Bring control lever (A) to 2a position and lock it. The bucket now rests on the ground by its own weight and can move freely. After setting back the control lever to position 2, the floating position function is cancelled.

34

Pull the control lever by hand back from position 2a to position 2.

Set to other position the control lever returns automatically to 0.

USING COMBINED FUNCTIONS To combine two functions: 1/4

Lifting and dumping

2/4

Lowering and dumping

2/3

Lowering and back-tipping

If two functions are combined, e.g. 1/4, 2/3 or 2/4, the two movements of the bucket will be performed simultaneously depending on the loading of the hydraulic systems lifting / lowering and back-tipping / dumping.

Thus, it is possible in position 1/4 to raise the lifting frame during dumping; this is above all useful when loading material on vehicles.

35

After emptying the bucket, select combined function 2/3, for lowering and back-tipping at the same time, so that the bucket already has the required digging angle when it reaches the ground.

When two bucket movements are combined, the respective hydraulic systems are connected in series and the movements themselves are executed one after another.

It is possible to pass from the lifting position directly to the back-tipping position without going back to 0 first. The lifting function is then not active. After switching back to lifting, the function is reactivated.

The above-described switching mode (priority switching) facilitates loading of material from the working wall.

2-19

ASSISTED STARTING A high current flows on connection of the ground cable. Sparks occurring at the contact point may ignite gases at the discharged battery.

Connect the ground cable to the frame as far as possible away from the discharged battery.

During assisted starting operations (by means of an external battery), do not lean over the batteries.

Wear goggles.

Never try to start the machine when the batteries are defective or frozen.

Only connect batteries (battery assemblies) with the same voltage.

Only use tested jumper cables with insulated terminal clips and an adequate lead diameter.

Ensure that the bodies of the supplying and receiving machines are not in contact. Otherwise a current flow might result from connecting the positive poles.

Risk of short-circuiting.

When performing assisted starting, never use power supplies creating an overvoltage, such as, for example, two or three batteries in series or devices generating voltages above 12 V. Never use welding generators or welding transformers as power sources.

Position jumper cables in such a way that they cannot be caught by rotating engine components.

3-5

SECTION 3 Check whether the battery of the receiving machine (discharged battery) is in working order: - switch off electrical accessories (lights, fans); - insert the key into the cylinder, the warning lamps for the engine check must turn on; - if warning lamps do not turn on, the battery is faulty (discharged or with a short-circuit inside).

In this case the machine must not be started, as the alternator would then be damaged.

Install a functional battery before jump-starting.

Connect the red jumper cable to the positive clamp of the discharged battery (1) and then to the positive clamp of the booster battery (2).

Connect the black jumper cable first to the negative clamp of the booster battery (3) and then to a brightmetal point on the receiving machine (4), near the negative clamp of the discharged battery.

3-8

OPERATING THE MACHINE TRAVEL SPEED - BRAKING - INCHING Changing travel speeds (from working speed range to low speed range and back) can be done under load. This will happen automatically if in the working range (rabbit range) or you can manually switch ranges using the red kick down button (1) on the control lever (2). During normal travel or working operations, it is best to use the rabbit or working range. However, if low ground speed is desired while maintaining high rpm for the loader attachment, it is best to use low range (turtle) by pressing the kick down button (1). Using the kick down button, the machine can be switched between normal working speed and low speed. Travelling speed is limited in low and it is particularly useful for controlled travel work such as using a hydraulic boom.

The brake / inching pedal (3) fulfils two functions, braking and inching. When the pedal is depressed slightly, the travel pump is swivelled back to low output and reduces travel speed (inching) without reducing the engine rpm. The further the pedal is pressed the slower the ground speed is, until the machine stops because the output from the travel pump stops and the service brake is applied. The braking / inching pedal offers the possibility to perform controlled manoeuvres and to maintain hydraulic speed while reducing travel speed. During inching, the travel needs less power than with normal travel. More power is therefore available to the working attachment.

OPERATING THE MACHINE

OPERATING THE MACHINE WITH COLD WEATHER FUEL Refill the fuel tank after each working day to prevent the formation of condensation and the entry of water into the fuel system.

To prevent the formation of crystals -2 °C (28.4 °F) use a low temperature fuel or mix a protective fluid with your fuel.

LUBRICATING OIL Select oil viscosity (SAE grade) according to ambient temperature before starting engine.

Increase oil change frequency when operating below -10 °C (14 °F).

ENGINE OIL The engine oil must have a viscosity corresponding to the ambient temperature.

COOLANT It must have characteristics corresponding to the ambient temperature.

BATTERY Efficient cold starting requires that battery is wellcharged.

3-13

SECTION 3

OPERATING THE MACHINE WITH HOT WEATHER Air density decreases as altitude or ambient temperature increases. As a result of this, the engine’s maximum output, quality of exhaust gas, temperature level and, in extreme cases, starting behaviour, are impaired. Engine can be used at altitudes up to 1000 metres (3280 ft) and temperatures up to 30 °C (86 °F) for mobile operations. If the engine is to operate under more severe conditions (at higher altitudes or temperatures), it will be necessary to reduce the injected fuel quantity and thus engine power.

15 Observe the following recommendations: - maintain the correct coolant level in the coolant reservoir; - check the condition of the cooler plug before starting. Replace the plug if necessary; - carefully clean the cooler and the engine; - check the condition of the alternator belt and engine fan belt; - use lubricants with the recommended degree of viscosity; - use an appropriate coolant.

OPERATING THE MACHINE

TOWING Towing is delicate job, always performed at user’s risk. The Manufacturer warranty does not cover damages or accidents caused during the towing. As far as possible, carry out the repair on the spot, without towing the machine.

The machine must be towed only at the low speed of approximately 2 km/h (1.24 mph) and over a maximum distance of 0.5 km (0.3 mph).

Otherwise the travel motor would get damaged because of overheat.

After recovery, the machine must be secured against rolling away and inadvertent starting.

Tow the machine with a tow rod or a tow rope only.

The rod or the rope must not be damaged. They must be dimensioned in such a way that their theoretical breaking load is equal to three times the tractive power of the towing machine The towing pin must be dimensioned in compliance with standard ISO 10532; therefore, the pin is able to withstand a load of 9 t (19841 lb).

The towing vehicle must have sufficient tractive power.

Nobody must stay near the towing rod or rope.

Tow away only if the breaks and the steering of the machine are functional and if the machine cannot be transported with other means.

23

3-18

OPERATING THE MACHINE

WORKING ATTACHMENT The machine can be equipped with various working attachments. The components of the attachments are assembled with hydraulic cylinders and connectors. Components can be combined in various ways for optimum adaptation of the working attachment to the specific application.

Operate the machine only with the attachments and component combinations expressly approved by the Manufacturer.

Attachments from other manufacturers may be assembled and put into operation only if in compliance with Machinery Directive 89/392 EEC and only if the Manufacturer’s Declaration of Conformity of the attachment as well as the Manufacturer’s Declaration of Compatibility of the machine are available.

Special equipment such as bucket for light-weight material with a bulk density of less than to 1.4 t/m3 (87.4 lb/ft3), could obstruct the operator’s field of vision. In this case, work must either be carried out with the assistance of a flagman or the working range must be blocked off.

Other aids, for instance monitor with camera, must have been checked for suitability for the specific deployment and approved.

If the machine is equipped with an attachment quick coupler, ensure, before beginning to work, that the coupler is safety locked with the working attachment.

Assembly work may be carried out only by operating or servicing personnel who have the necessary know-how at their disposal.

If such know-how is lacking, a training course must be organized, held by experienced personnel.

Only such persons may start up the machine during assembly work in order to adjust the attachments.

Incorrect operation of the machine or the attachments may cause life threatening situations.

Tools, hoists, slings, trestles and other devices must be in a safe and reliable state of operation.

Metal splinters may cause injury when attachment pins are being driven in or out. A brass or copper mandrel should therefore be used for this purpose, and goggles must be worn.

At the end of work, place the attachment on the ground in such a way that no movements can be made if mechanical or hydraulic connections become detached.

When working in jointed areas, block off the joints.

Remove the blocks on finishing work.

Secure any attachment or component which is to be mounted or disassembled, or whose position is to be changed, with hoists or appropriate slinging/supporting devices to prevent them from moving, slipping or falling inadvertently.

S WARNING S The maximum service pressure at the attachment quick coupler or at the hydraulic ports for the fitted attachments is 230 ± 10 bar (3335 ± 145 psi).

3-19

SECTION 3 ATTACHMENT QUICK COUPLER A universal attachment quick coupler in compliance with SAE J2513 / ISO 24410 is a standard equipment on this machine.

A variety of attachments may be installed, even those from other manufacturers provided they are compatible with the attachment quick coupler. If the attachment is not compatible with the quick coupler or with the machine (too heavy, etc.), the use of it is not allowed.

Damaged attachments represent a real danger for the operator and the persons in the machine vicinity and can cause accidents or serious injuries or even death.

S WARNING S Use exclusively approved attachments, delivered by an authorized Dealer. The non compliance with this instruction can cause accidents with serious injuries or even death.

The attachment quick coupler is activated by means of the switch installed on the cab console at the right of the seat. This switch has two positions, quick coupler open (lamp on) and quick coupler locked (lamp off).

In the locked position, the switch is secured by a mechanical lock against a possible accidental activation. To set the switch to open position, pull slightly the lock towards the operator and by pressing on the symbol, lower the switch.

With activation disconnected, the quick coupler is always locked. If the activation is disconnected with quick coupler open, this locks automatically.

As soon as the activation is enabled, the attachment quick coupler locks open (lamp on) or close (lamp off), according to previous switch setting.

The hydraulic system of the attachment quick coupler is equipped with accumulator, during normal operation the accumulator creates a continuous hydraulic preload of the quick coupler cylinders.

3-20

During operation, the accumulator is loaded and reloaded by the pressure of the working hydraulic line. The oil stored in the accumulator activates also the cylinders during the equipment change.

Also when the accumulator is unloaded, the hydraulic system receives an oil feed sufficient to enable the activation of the attachment quick coupler.

However, when the accumulator is discharged, the cylinder motion is performed obviously more slowly.

During operation the accumulator preload holds the working equipment constantly under load.

If, due to a long term inactivity of the machine, the accumulator is discharged, the safe locking of the attachment quick coupler is always active thanks to the hydraulic locking valves.

It can however happen that the quick coupler hooks get jammed, hindering in this way the releasing of the locking system. In such a case, the accumulator has to be manually charged. This is possible by quickly retracting the working equipment to stroke end (for instance by fully tipping back the bucket), in this way the main relief valve inside the control valve can activate (sound similar to a whistle).

When the accumulator of the quick coupler is completely charged, the coupler gets open without any problem.

OPERATING THE MACHINE ASSEMBLY Rest the bucket on the ground in vertical position.

By moving the machine forward, bring the lifting arm (1) and the bucket (2) to assembly position.

24 Unlock switch (3) from mechanical lock and press the symbol face of switch (lamp on).

25 Move the machine until the upper support (4) of the quick coupler can fit into the bucket housing (5). Lift the bucket and tip it back to enable the support to fit into the housing (5).

SECTION 4 FUEL Use commercially available diesel fuel with less than 0.5% sulphur content. If the sulphur content is higher, oil change intervals should be reduced. The following fuel specifications / standards are approved: - DIN EN 590 - BS 2869 - ASTM D 975-96; 1-D and 2-D - NATO Code F-54 / F-34 / F-44 and XF 63 Exhaust emission values which may be determined in the case of type approval tests always refer to the fuels prescribed by the authorities for the type approval test.

WINTER-GRADE FUEL Waxing may occur at low temperatures, clogging the fuel system and reducing engine efficiency. If the ambient temperature is less than 0 °C (32 °F), winter-grade fuel, suitable down to -15 °C (59 °F), should be used; this fuel is usually available from filling stations well in advance of the cold months. Diesel fuel containing additives (Super diesel) is often on sale as well, for use down to -20 °C (68 °F).

- At temperatures below -15 °C (59 °F) to -20 °C (68 °F), petroleum should be added to the diesel fuel. The relevant percentages are given in the adjacent diagram.

If summer-grade diesel fuel must be used at temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F), up to 60% petroleum can be added (see diagram).

In most cases, adequate resistance to cold can also be obtained by adding a fluidizing additive for winter operation: Legend: I

SUPPLIES AND MAINTENANCE CHART HYDRAULIC OIL For the first refilling the Manufacturer uses AKCELA AW HYDRAULIC FLUID 68 HV oil.

Hydraulic oil is not soluble in water; this can generate condensate water in the hydraulic oil tank.

Therefore drain condensate water periodically, particularly after a long downtime period. Dispose of drained liquid as used oil.

ENVIRONMENTALLY COMPATIBLE HYDRAULIC OIL The hydraulic system of this machine can be filled at with environmentally compatible, synthetic hydraulic fluid too (special equipment). Stickers with corresponding instructions are then attached to the machine. This synthetic hydraulic fluid “AKCELA HYDRAULIC EXCAVATORS FLUID BIO” has been tested by the Manufacturer and approved for application on the machines. A change from mineral hydraulic oil to this synthetic hydraulic fluid can, however, be made also at a later date. Environmentally compatible hydraulic fluid must not be simply poured away as normal waste. It must be disposed of in the same way as any used oil! If hydraulic fluid seeps into the ground, the machine Owner and the Competent Authorities must be informed. The use of AKCELA HYDRAULIC EXCAVATORS FLUID BIO is restricted only to hydraulic systems.

Do not mix this hydraulic oil with oils of other makes; this kind of mixture will decrease the oil biodegradability.

ENGINE OIL Generally, multi-grade oils shall be used. In closed heated rooms at temperatures > 5 °C (41 °F), also single-grade oils can be used. As the viscosity of lube oil is dependent on temperature, the choice of SAE grade should be governed by the ambient temperature prevailing at the engine operating site.

Optimum operating behaviour will be attained if you take the accompanying oil viscosity diagram as a guide.

Should the temperature fall temporarily below the limits of the SAE grade selected, cold starting may be affected but the engine will not be damaged.

The application of a certain oil at higher temperatures than those indicated in the chart, should be as far as possible limited, in order to keep wear to a minimum.

Synthetic lube oils feature an improved temperature and oxidation stability.

SECTION 4 TYRES - PRESSURE CHECK

S CAUTION S A burst tyre can cause serious injury. Regularly check the condition of tyres and always observe the inflation pressures defined in accordance with the type of tyre and ground concerned.

When checking tyre pressures or during an inflation operation, never stay facing the tyre but always facing the tread surface. Always use an inflation cage when the wheel is removed from the machine.

Keep all other persons away from the area.

Before inflating the tyres, check the tyres, rims and rim parts for damage, penetrated foreign objects and proper fitting.

Use inflation equipment with long filling hose, selffixing nozzle and pressure gauge.

Inflate tyres only with normal compressed air.

Never use flammable gas: danger of explosions!

Check pressure only with cold tyres; when tyres are warm, the pressure values detected are higher.

Watch the tyre and the pressure gauge of the inflating equipment permanently during the inflation and never exceed the prescribed tyre pressures.

Always inflate tyres to the prescribed pressure: - excessive tyres pressure means poor handling properties off the road and a risk of bursting tyres; - insufficient pressure means increased wear on the tyres and inadequate stability of the machine.

Never weld near a tyre. It is essential to remove the tyre before any welding operation.

4-20

SUPPLIES AND MAINTENANCE CHART Apply the right tyre pressure for each axle and foreseen application.

Do not keep tyres pressure lower than the values due, so as not to overheat the tyres, because this could cause: - tyre breaks; - tread damage; - inner damage; - uneven wear and short life.

Do not overinflate the tyres, because if bumped they can break easily and under extreme conditions the rim can get deformed and the tyre can burst.

S CAUTION S The tyres inflating pressure varies according to the load applied to axles.

31

INFLATION PROCEDURE Move the machine to a level and firm ground.

Rest the bucket on the ground.

Activate the parking brake.

Stop the engine and remove the starter switch key.

Attach the self-locking nozzle of the inflating equipment to the tyre filling valve (1).

The device is equipped with a pressure gauge (2), that when connected, allows to check the pressure value.

If the pressure results to be lower than expected, proceed to the inflation.

SECTION 4 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM - VOLTAGE AND CONTINUITY CHECK Prior to working on the electrical system, where tools, spare parts etc. may come into contact with electric cables or contacts, disconnect the battery.

Disconnect first the negative terminal (-), then the positive terminal (+).

After work, connect first the positive terminal (+), then the negative one (-).

Use only measuring instrument for voltage and continuity testing: - never use a test lamps; - never “tap against ground”.

This creates a short circuit with consequent damage of the battery or of the electronic system.

At engine start-up, the battery is controlled (preexcited) by an electronic circuit, whose task is to have the battery supply power.

The circuit is an integral part of the electronic unit.

A lamp (1) on the instrument panel, indicates the correct operation of the battery. As soon as the starter switch key is inserted, lamp (1) must turn on and it must turn off as soon as the engine starts.

If this is not the case, there is a fault in the battery electric system or in the instrument cluster.

To prevent further damage, the cause of the fault must be traced and eliminated as quickly as possible.

SECTION 4 ACCUMULATOR - PRESSURE CHECK

S CAUTION S Never do repair work on brakes unless you are qualified to work on brake systems. In case of doubts contact the After-sales service.

Carry out service work only after the machine and the articulated joint have been secured. In the hydraulic system, the accumulators contain nitrogen under very high pressure.

Even if the hydraulic pressure in the system is eliminated, the nitrogen in the accumulator remains under pressure. The accumulators are completely safe in operation. If incorrectly handled, however, there is a risk of explosion.

Therefore: - never perform mechanical work on accumulators, never weld or solder them; - testing and servicing work must be carried out by reliable personnel only; - before carrying out any inspection and maintenance job, relieve pressure from the hydraulic side of the system; - before disassembling an accumulator, wear goggles and gloves; - fill the accumulator with nitrogen only, and never use compressed air or oxygen; - immediately report any defects or damage to the After-sales service.

Move the machine to a level and firm ground.

65

SUPPLIES AND MAINTENANCE CHART Start the engine and wait until the accumulator pressure is reached, the lamp (5) turns off and the acoustic warning signal stops sounding.

Check the braking pressure.

The pressure gauge must indicate a pressure of 150 ± 10 bar (2175 ± 145 psi).

In the event this value is not achieved, please contact our After-sales service.

After the accumulator has reached the charging pressure, stop the engine and leave the starter switch key in position 1.

Depress the brake pedal repeatedly to limit stop and observe the pressure gauge.

66

Each time the brake pedal is pressed, the pressure drops.

When the acoustic warning signal is not heard and the lamp (5) does not turn on, despite a repeated activation of the brake pedal (minimum 3 times), the accumulator pressure is sufficient.

Once check is complete, relieve the brake pressure.

Remove the pressure gauge (4) and tighten the plug (1) again.

SECTION 7

FORKS Always lift the load by using both forks.

Check the prongs by permanent visual inspections and put them out of operation immediately if damage is detected.

Fork prongs are not designed to withstand lateral forces. Avoid driving the prongs diagonally under the load or pushing the load with the side.

Do not let loads fall on the forks, as they could be damaged.

The transport of molten or fused material is forbidden.

Do not transport any person on forks, as it could be dangerous.

Do not lift loads with the tip of the prongs. Risk of overloading.

Have legally prescribed checks performed regularly by qualified personnel or by the After-sales service.

The rules and regulations in force in the country of use must be observed.

Perform regular measurements of fork wear.

Drive with folded forks with no load, as this reduces the risk of accidents. It is not necessary to remove the forks to connect certain types of attachment.

FORK TYPES Standard forks (1).

3 Collapsible forks (2).

7-3

SECTION 7 WORKING WITH LIFTING FORKS Taking up loads To take up loads, drive the loader slowly in front of the load. Hold the lifting forks in horizontal position and raise or lower to the respective height. Drive the lifting forks under the load or into the pallet. Then, lift the load, tilt the forks backwards and bring load up or down to transport height. The transport height is the distance between the ground and the lower edge of the lifting forks. This distance should not be greater than 30 cm (11.81 in).

Load transport During load transport, the lifting forks must always be tilted backwards. Pull lever (A) into position 3 (back-tipping). When driving up and down a hill, the load must always be carried on the uphill side.

8

Depositing loads During unloading operations, the machine must always be in horizontal position. The place of unloading must have no transverse and no longitudinal inclination.

S CAUTION S Do not leave the machine when the load is in raised position.

During interruptions of the work always place the lifting forks on the ground.

During the work always make sure the forks are tilted back. With a load on the forks, approach the point of unloading slowly.

Bring the forks to horizontal position, lower and the load and deposit. After reversing, lower the forks again.

PLATE The machine’s total overturning load depends on its total weight.

The stability factor to be selected is influenced by the working conditions.

Centre-of-gravity distances of more than 500 mm (19.68 in) reduce the payload.

The payload is the load to be lifted with the lifting forks including the packing. Pallets, cases or slings are part of the payload.

ATTACHMENTS FORKS - CHECK Inspections have to be performed regularly. ISO 5057 prescribes an inspection at least every 12 months. Depending on the conditions of use, for instance multi-shift work or severe operating conditions, the inspections are to be performed more frequently. Moreover, the operator is obliged to perform regular visual checks.

The following points must be checked: - wear - cracking in the bent area - cracking in welding seams - deformations and warping - functioning of the arresters - damage of fork hook and fork tip - general condition Cracking test

S CAUTION S Cracking tests must be performed by specially qualified experts.

In the event of positive cracking test results, both prongs must be replaced immediately.

Critical zones are the fork bending point and the welds at the suspensions.

The usual methods of testing applied are the magnetic powder test or the dye penetration test.

Principle of destruction-free testing for cracks by means of the dye penetration method.

1. Clean the zone to be tested thoroughly.

2. Spray red penetrant on the test zone.

3. Remove red penetrant.

4. Spray developer on the test zone.

Cracks are now visible.

10

7-5

SECTION 7 Deformation check

S CAUTION S If the bending angle of the prongs is greater than 91° or less than 88°, both fork prongs must be replaced immediately.

Fork prongs are delivered with a bending angle of 90°.

They are designed in such a way that they can withstand even twice the nominal load without any remaining deformation.

In practice, permanent deformation may, however, occur by overloading, misuse or unilateral loading.

11

Measurement: Make a mark at a distance of 500 mm (19.70 in) both in vertical and in horizontal direction.

Measure the diagonal distance (d).

The diagonal must be between 695 mm (27.36 in) and 713 mm (28.07 in).

If the measured value is lower than 695 mm (27.36 in) or higher than 713 mm (28.07 in), immediately replace both forks.

12 Wear check

S CAUTION S When wear exceeds 10%, immediately replace both forks.

Fork prong wear occurs most often in the outer bending area.

Start measuring wear from the original nominal thickness (n).

With a nominal thickness of 40 mm (1.57 in), the wear limit is 36 mm (1.41 in).

When wear exceeds 10%, immediately replace both forks.
