Distance between the fork arms
Set the distance between the fork arms in such a way that the load can be lifted safely.
To do so, space the fork arms equally from the middle of the vehicle and lock them in
position. Adjust the distance between the fork arms as far as possible in order to grip
the load as far from its center as possible with the fork arms.
