PALLET FORKS

6.3 PALLET FORKS
CAUTION
q
Before using the forks for any operation, the operator must get acquainted with the increased dimen-
sions of the machine and must also practise the use of the swinging movements.
q
After grasping the material with the forks and before lifting the load, swing the equipment in such a way
as to lift the points and prevent the load from slipping.
q
Use the lifting, swing and travel controls slowly and smoothly, in order to avoid jerks that may cause the
load to move.
q
Use the maximum fork width possible.
q
The forks must always be resting on the plate and be secured in their position by means of the safety
pins.
The pallet forks make it possible to use the machine like a normal lift truck and the controls for lifting and swinging
the loads are the same used to control the standard bucket.
See "3.3.5 MACHINE CONTROLS".
The pallet forks may have different width (distance from each other) according to the load to be handled: it is suffi-
cient to make them slide on the upper coupling bar; once the desired position has been found, carry out slight mo-
vements to make sure that the upper lock pin is engaged in its seat.
