Adjusting the fork arms

WARNING!

If the fork arms are not secured to avoid lateral sliding or slipping –Accident risk.

☞ Before using the pallet forks, be sure that both locking levers on the fork arms are folded down. This locks the safety pins of the fork arms in the notches on the fork frame, and prevents the fork arms from slipping or sliding.

When you position the fork arms under the load, make sure that they have the greatest possible space between them.

Always evenly align the fork arms to the fork frame.

If necessary, adjust the spacing of the fork arms as follows:

☞ Set the locking lever to vertical position a.

➥ The fork arms can be moved on the fork frame.

☞ Slide the fork arms to the required distance until the safety pin engages in a slot on the fork frame.

☞ Fold down the locking lever again, to position b

➥ The upper edge of the locking lever must be flush with edge c.

IMPORTANT!

The locking mechanism must be replaced immediately if it is damaged.
