WARNING
When adjusting the fork spread, be careful not to
pinch your hand between forks and the carriage
slot.
For load stability, always adjust the forks as wide as
possible. Position the load evenly on both forks.
Typical Example of Shaft type Fork
Typical Example of Hook-on type Fork
1. Move up the hook pin(1) in each fork to slide the
fork(2) on the carriage bar.
2. Adjust the forks in the position most appropriate
for the load and as wide as possible for load
stability.
3. When adjusting the forks, make sure that the
weight of the load is centered on the truck.
4. After adjustment, set the hook pins to keep the
forks in place.
WARNING
Make sure the forks are locked before carrying a
load.
If the fork/locking pin is not fully engaged, the
fork could become unintentionally disengaged.
