Changing the fork arms
DANGER
Risk of explosion!
Working on a truck within potentially ex-
plosive areas can lead to explosions in
the surrounding atmosphere.
No work must be performed on the truck
in potentially explosive areas!
– Do not perform any work on trucks in
potentially explosive areas.
– Change fork arms only outside of po-
tentially explosive areas.
DANGER
Risk of explosion!
In potentially explosive areas, only fork
arms that comply with explosion-protec-
tion regulations may be used.
These fork arms are specially coated to
prevent sparks forming when coming in-
to contact with the load or floor. The
coating does not extend to the area in-
side the fork bends so that it is possible
to check for cracks.
– Fit only fork arms that correspond to
explosion protection regulations.
– Check that the cladding is complete.
– Do not use fork arms with worn clad-
ding.
DANGER
There is a risk of fatal injury from being run over if
the truck rolls away.
– Do not park the truck on gradients.
– Apply the parking brake.
– Change the fork extension in a cordoned-off, safe
location on a level surface.
