holes allow the remaining cladding thickness
to be determined. The surface of the back of
the fork (4) is also clad with the same material.
There must be no cracks or deformations visi-
ble on the fork arms in the area around the
fork bend (3). The coating does not extend to
the area around the fork bends so that it is
possible to check for cracks.
The Miretti job number is stamped into the fork
arm heads (5). If this number does not match
the data on the nameplate of the truck, the
fork arms must not be used until clearance
has been given by the authorised service cen-
tre.
– Perform a visual inspection of the fork arms
(1).
– Check the cladding (2, 4) for wear.
It must satisfy the minimum thickness of
1 mm.
– Check the fork bends (3) for cracks.
– Compare the Miretti job number on the fork
arm heads (5) with the data on the name-
plate of the truck.
– Ensure that only fork arms that comply with
explosion-protection regulations are fitted.
