Forks
Inspect the load forks for cracks,
breaks, bending and wear. The fork
top surfaces should be level and
even with each other. The height
difference between both fork tips
should be no more than 3% of the
fork length.
WARNING
If the fork blade heel is worn
down by more than 10 per
cent, the load capacity is re-
duced and the fork must be
replaced.
Inspect the forks for twists and bends. Put a 2"- thick wood block, at
least 4" wide by 24" long, on the blade of the fork with the 4" surface
against the blade. Put a 24" carpenter's square on the top of the block
and against the shank. Check the fork 20" above the blade to make
sure it is not bent more than 1" maximum.
If the fork blades are obviously bent or damaged, have
them inspected by a trained maintenance person before
operating the truck.
Inspect the fork latches. Be sure they are not damaged or broken and
operate freely and lock correctly. Check the fork stop pins for secure
condition.
