5.9 ADJUSTING/MOVING FORKS
Carriages may have different locations where forks can be positioned. Two different
methods can be used for repositioning, depending upon carriage structure.
Note:
Apply a light coating of appropriate lubricant to ease sliding of forks or fork bar.
To slide forks:
1. Ensure attachment is properly installed. See
15.
2. If equipped, loosen fork locking bolt.
3. Elevate attachment to approximately 5 ft (1,5 m) and tilt carriage forward until fork
heel is free from attachment.
4. Stand at side of carriage. To slide fork toward center of carriage, push fork near fork
eye. To slide fork toward edge of carriage, pull fork near fork eye. To avoid pinching,
do not place fingers or thumb between fork and carriage structure.
5. If equipped, tighten fork locking bolt.
If removing fork bar is necessary:
1. Rest forks on ground.
2. If equipped, loosen fork locking bolt.
3. Remove fork bar.
4. Reposition forks.
5. Reinstall the fork bar and fork bar retaining mechanism(s).
