8. Check fork markings (N) for legibility. Renew
markings as required to retain legibility.
9. a. Lift the mast and operate the control lever,
until the top surface of the forks is parallel
with the floor. Place two straight bars that are
the same width as the carriage, across the
forks as shown.
b. Measure the distance from the bottom of
each end of the two bars to the floor. The
forks must be parallel within 3 mm (.12 in) for
Tapered and Polished (FTP) forks, all other
forks 6.4 mm (.25 in), for their completed
length.
c. Put one fork, one third from the tip, under a
fixture that will not move. Then operate the tilt
control with caution until the rear of the truck
lifts just off the floor. Follow the same proce-
dure with the second fork. Repeat Step a.
