Installation Safety Pins
The Swivel Hook Trailer Spotters are very easily installed by inserting your
forklift tines fully into the pockets so the ears extend behind the Forks. Then
install the safety retainer pin behind the fork and insert the security clip. (
As Shown on the diagram) The safety retainer pins are chained to the Jib to
prevent loss of the pins. These must be properly installed and secured before
using the Jib. Note: Swivel Hook Frame, Hook and retainer pins should be
fully inspected before every use.
