PALLET FORKS
6.4.3 USING THE FORKS
6.4.3.1
PREPARING THE PALLET FORKS FOR USE
DANGER
•
Before working with the forks, the operator must evaluate
the increased dimensions of the machine and learn how
to use the fork controls.
•
The forks protrude beyond the bucket outline and there-
fore it is necessary to be very careful when manoeuvring
the machine, especially in reduced spaces.
•
After forking the material, before suspending the load,
move the forks in such a way as to lift their prongs and
therefore prevent the load from slipping.

DANGER
•
When the forks are overturned for use or storage, be care-
ful to the grasping points, since hands and feet may be in-
jured and even cut.
Is advisable, this operation should be carried out by two
persons.
•
Use the lifting, oscillation and shifting controls slowly and
smoothly, in order to avoid vibrations that may cause the
load to move.
•
Maintain the greatest possible distance between the
forks.
•
The forks must always rest on the blade and be positioned
between two teeth, in order to avoid any sideward slip-
ping.

1 - Overturn the forks toward the front part of the machine.
2 - Raise the bucket and operate the control lever in such a way
as to swing it forward until releasing the forks from the bucket
teeth.
3 - Move the forks (1) sidewards to widen or narrow the distance
between them according to the width of the load to be han-
dled.
4 - Fold the bucket and manoeuvre the lifting arm until the forks
are in horizontal position.
5 - Lubricate the fork rotation pins (See “4.5.2 LUBRICATION DI-
AGRAM”).
