NOTE: STRADDLE LEGS MUST BE ADJUSTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS PROCEDURE
1. PowerStak unit located on flat, clean uniform surface, unloaded, forks raised a minimum of 1” off the floor
2. Determine the desired/required straddle width dimension (2 inches greater than pallet width, 1” on each side of
the pallet or load, up to a maximum of 50 inches inside width)
3. Be sure to fully loosen all bolts before moving stabilizing legs. Adjust one stabilizer leg at a time – using a pry
bar, pinch bar, rubber mallet etc. move the straddle leg out from the base tube to the desired position. Do not
move too far, see picture below, if the ¼” wide painted White Line is visible the leg is pulled out too far; Maxi-

4. Adjust second Straddle Leg – using a pry bar, pinch bar, rubber mallet etc. move the straddle leg out from inside
the base tube to the desired straddle width position.
