10.6.3 Forks check
NOTICE
For the forks verification frequency refer to the "Control log".
CAUTION
During maintenance and control, it is mandatory to use the appropriate Personal Protective Equipment.
WARNING
It is absolutely forbidden to carry out maintenance on the forks (e.g. welding, drilling,
engraving, etc ...).
In the event of damage or deformation immediately replace the forks.
Check the forks thickness.
Themaximumwearallowedis10%(fig.1505201).
For example for a fork 70 mm thick,the thickness must not be
lessthan63mm.(7010%=63)
Foraquickcheckofthethicknessoftheforks,itisnecessaryto
measure the thickness in the vertical part of the fork“1” (fig.
1505202);thiswillbethedimensiontowhichreferforthefork
thickness measurements “2” (fig. 1505202). Make at least three
measurementsatseveralpoints.

Verify the deformation of the forks
Verifythatthetwoforksareparallelbetweenthemandthatthe
distancefromthegroundisthesameforboth,orwithdifference
oflessthan3%ofthelengthofthefork(fig.1505203).
Forexample,forafork1800mmlong,thedifferencebetweenthe
maximumpermissibledeformationoftheforktipswilltherefore
beof54mm(1800x3/100=54).
