markings as required to retain legibility.

until the top surface of the forks is parallel
with the floor. Place two straight bars that are
the same width as the carriage, accross 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
Full Tapered and Polished (FTP) forks, all
other forks 6.4 mm (.25 in), for their
completer 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
procedure with the second fork. Repeat Step
