Installation:
Step 1
:
Mount the plow on your forklift.
(A) Remove the locking pins from the tine lock brackets: First pull out the hitch pins and then remove the lock
pins as shown in diagram A. Adjust the positions of the tines of your lift truck to match the locations of the fork
pockets; then slowly drive the truck forward until the forks extend all the way through the fork pockets. The
heels of the forks should contact the ends of the fork pockets so that the tine lock brackets project behind the
heel of each fork).
(B) Secure the plow to the forks by reinstalling the tine lock pins and hitch pins (see frame B below).
NOTE: It might not be possible to lock the tines in the tine locks until step 2 on the following page has been
completed.
(C) When properly adjusted, the cross bar of the mid-frame will rest against the mast of your forklift.
Step 2: Adjust the position of the mid-frame.
When properly adjusted, the cross bar of the mid-frame weldment (MFW) will rest against the mast of your
forklift. Four bolt fasten the fork pocket weldment (FPW) fastens to the MFW. To adjust the position of the mid-
frame, unfasten and remove all 4 bolts. Complete
now (reinstall tine lock pins) if you were unable to do
so in step 1. Adjust the position of the mid-frame to bring the cross bar into solid contact with the mast of your
forklift. Align the bolt holes in the cross channels of the FPW and the MFW. Then, reinstall and fasten the bolts.
Tighten the connections. The cross bar MUST solidly contact the forklift mast otherwise the vertical frame
elements might be damaged while using the plow.
