Section 2 - Operation
Handling Loads
2.14-3 Adjusting Forks
Adjust the location of both forks using the fork positioner
attachment or combination fork positioner/sideshift
attachment (if equipped, refer to
Sections 2.14-1 &
2.14-2
) or position them manually to suit a pallet pocket
spacing as follows:
1.
Raise the boom until fork eye is approximately
shoulder high.
2.
Tilt the attachment forward until the fork pivots on
the bar and no longer resting on the attachment’s
bottom rail (
Figure 2-19
). This prevents binding on
the bar, thus aiding its repositioning.
Figure 2-19 Forks Pivoting on the Bar
3.
Grasping the fork near its eye, push the fork along
the bar until it is in the correct position.
CAUTION
Be careful not to pinch fingers between
the fork and any portion of the attachment.
2.14-4 Changing Forks
The attachment/fork combination is the most frequently
used combination. Different loads may require changing
forks with different ratings.
Figure 2-20 Changing Forks
1.
Lower the boom with fork contacting the ground
until approximately half of the fork float is used up.
2.
Remove inner fork bar collars from fork bar.
3.
Draw the bar out of the fork eye and attachment
side plate, being careful that the fork doesn’t fall
over, causing possible injury (
Figure 2-20
).
4.
Reverse steps 1 through 3 to install the replacement
fork.
2.14-5 Slinging Loads
CAUTION
Sling loads from appropriate attachment
to the jib boom or a tilted fork ONLY.
1.
Slinging of loads must only be performed following
a complete risk assessment by a qualified person
regarding the rigging and guiding of any such load.
2.
The rated capacity of the unit and attachment
at the sling position must not be exceeded. The
sling must be in good repair and restrained from
movement at all times.
