Forks
The identification of a fork describes how the fork is con-
nected to the carriage. These lift trucks have hook forks.
See FIGURE 11. and FIGURE 12.
Forks, Adjustment
The forks are connected to the carriage by hooks and one
of two types of lock pins. See FIGURE 12. These lock
pins are installed through the top fork hooks and fit into
slots in the top carriage bar. Adjust the forks as far apart
as possible for maximum support of the load. Hook forks
will slide along the carriage bars to adjust for the load to
be lifted. Raise the lock pin in each fork to slide the fork
on the carriage bar. Make sure the lock pin is engaged in
the carriage bar to lock the fork in position after the width
adjustment is made.
