Adjusting the forks
Forks shall be spaced to suit the load going to be
handled. For this purpose:
•
Lift the clamping lever of the forks.
•
Slide the forks to the desired position, then re-lock
the lever.
In the case of floating forks:
•
Loosen the nut of the locking screws.
•
Raise the forks and slide them on the pivot until
correct spacing.
•
Lock the screws re-tightening the nut.
DANGER
•
The centre of gravity of the load must always
be halfway between the forks.
•
Ensure you exactly know the weight of the load
before handling it.
•
When extending the boom, do not exceed the
payload limit.
•
Refer to the payload limits given in the load
chart applied on the cab windscreen or in the
quick user’s guide.
•
Space the forks as wide as possible to suit the
load being handled.
