WARNING
Lower the lift mechanism completely. Never allow any
person under a raised carriage. DO NOT put any part of
your body in or through the lift mechanism unless all
parts of the mast are completely lowered and the
engine is STOPPED.
DO NOT try to correct the alignment of the fork tips by
bending the forks or adding shims. If either fork is
damaged, replace the forks as a set.
Never repair damaged forks by heating or welding.
Forks are made of special steel using special proce-
dures. If either fork is damaged, replace the forks as a
set.
DO NOT operate fork lift without lateral fork stops in
place. Forks may disengage from fork carriage.
1. Inspect the welds on the mast, cylinders, and carriage
for cracks. Make sure that the capscrews and nuts are
tight.
2. Inspect the carriage to be sure fork stops are in place.
Fork stops prevent forks from laterally disengaging from the
carriage.

ers travel. Inspect the rollers for wear or damage.
4. Inspect the load backrest extension for cracks and dam-
age.
5. If the lift truck is equipped with a sideshift carriage or
