Checking the condition and correct op-
eration of the latch
– Check the fork arms (1) for any visible de-
formation. Wear must not amount to more
than 10% of the original thickness.
CAUTION
Risk of component damage!
Always replace worn fork arms in pairs.
– Check that the fork latch (3) is functioning
correctly.
– Make sure that the locking screw (2) is
present and cannot fall out.
Repairing the fork arms
DANGER
Risk of explosion due to improper re-
pair!
Damaged or worn cladding may be only
repaired by the manufacturer or by a
specialist welder.
All straightening work (hot and cold) on
deformed fork arms is forbidden.
– Contact the authorised service centre.
Checking the reversible fork arms
DANGER
Risk of explosion!
If reversible fork arms are used that do
not correspond to the explosion-protec-
tion regulations, this can lead to spark
formation, resulting in explosions in the
surrounding atmosphere.
– Only use reversible fork arms that are
approved for use in potentially explo-
sive areas according to the name-
plate of the truck.
– If the cladding is worn, do
not
operate
the truck in potentially explosive
areas.
– Check the outside of the fork bend (1) for
cracks.
