Adjusting the fork arms
In order to prevent the fork armss from slipping or sliding sideways, the safety
pins of the fork arms must be correctly locked in the notches on the fork frame.
☞Before using the pallet forks, check whether both locking levers (a) on the
fork arms are folded down and engaged in the fork frame!
☞Check whether securing screws D on either side on the upper slide rail of
the fork frame are not damaged and whether they are firmly screwed on the
slide rail
When the fork arms are moved under the load, they must have the biggest possible
spacing between them, or be introduced at the positions or in the fixtures provided for to
this effect. The fork arms must always be evenly aligned with the fork frame.
To achieve this, the spacing of the fork arms can be adjusted as follows:
☞Set the locking lever to the vertical position A
➥The fork arms can be moved on the fork frame
☞Slide the fork arms to the required distance until the safety pin engages in a slot on the
fork frame
☞Fold down the locking lever again, position B
➥The upper edge of the locking lever must be flush with the edge C.
