6.3.3 Forks
Annually
Inspect the heel of the fork for wear and cracks.
Remove forks from service when wear exceeds 10 % of the thickness of the fork.
As necessary
Bent forks are not safe to operate and their continued use should be prevented.
Straightening of forks may only be performed by the manufacturer of the fork or by
one of his authorised workshops.
You can increase the service life of forks by using forks especially protected
against wear.
