The operator is responsible for the safe operation of
this equipment. The operator must be properly trained.
Operators should be familiar with the power unit, loader
and loader attachment, and all safety practices before
starting operation. Read the safety rules and safety signs
on pages 3-11.
NOTE: Loose items such as logs can slide sideways,
thus putting all their weight on one fork. This can
bend forks.
WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER
BENT FORKS.
INSTRUCTIONS
TRACTOR AND LOADER/SKID
STEER REQUIREMENTS AND
PREPARATION
——————————————————
The required size of the tractor and front loader or skid
steer will be determined by the weight of the load to be
handled.
Always use a tractor and front loader or skid steer large
enough to safely handle the load.
Check your tractor and front loader or skid steer to
make sure they are in good working condition. Check all
frame mounting bolts to make sure they are tight.
Loaders that attach to the tractor frame rails should
have a cross-tie installed for stability.
Check the hydraulic system. Be sure the hydraulic oil
and filter have been serviced according to the manufac-
turer’s recommendations.
Be sure tires and rims are in good condition. Inflate
tires to the proper recommended air pressure.
When lifting loads with a tractor front loader, it is always
best to have a heavy implement or weight box connected
to the rear 3 pt. hitch.
The load rating of all pallet forks is figured with the load
20” in front of the fork lift frame and evenly distributed
between the two fork tines.
NEVER
put load at the ends of the fork tines – the lift
capacity at the ends of the forks is only about 1/3 of the
total lift capacity.
■
■
Power unit must be equipped with ROPS or ROPS
cab and seat belt. Keep seat belt securely fastened.
Falling off power unit can result in death from being
run over or crushed. Keep foldable ROPS systems in
“locked up” position at all times.
■
■
A heavy load can cause instability in driving a
power unit. Make sure the rear of the tractor is
properly counter-balanced with weights. Always
drive slowly – especially around turns. An unstable
unit could steer badly and possibly tip over, causing
injury or death.
■
■
Do not exceed the maximum recommended
weight listed for the pallet fork. Damage to the equip-
ment or serious personal injury could result.
WARNING
All above units have Class I rail mounted forks. The
load rating on both the 36” and 42” pallet forks is figured
with the load about 20” in front of the fork lift frame and
evenly distributed between the two fork tines.
PALLET FORK LOAD RATING
Always be careful when tipping a load back when
the loader is fully raised. The load could fall back on
the operator or the power unit, causing injury or
death.

ATTACHMENT TO PRIME MOVER
——————————————————
3. Enter the prime mover. Fasten seatbelt, start engine.
Disengage the parking brake.
4. Follow the attaching procedure in the prime mover
owner's manual. Align the attachment mechanism
with the mounting on the pallet fork, attach to the
prime mover on loader.
5. Engage the parking brake and shut down the prime
mover. Be sure to relieve pressure to the auxiliary
hydraulic lines.
6. Unfasten safety restraints and exit the prime mover.
7. Engage the latching mechanism to secure attachment
to loader. The lockpins must be completely extended
and secured into the retaining slots.
8. Re-enter the prime mover. Fasten seatbelt and re-
start engine.
9.
Carefully raise the loader and cycle the rollback/tilt
cylinders to check clearances and to ensure that the
attachment is securely mounted.
1. Position the attachment on a level surface.
2. The quick attach coupler handles should be in the
unlocked position with lock pins retracted, Figure 2.
Improper attachment of the Pallet Fork could result
in injury or death. Do not operate this product until
you have positive indication that the attachment is
securely mounted.
Attachment coupler handles must always be
rotated to LOCK POSITION to prevent coupler latch
from disengaging and attachment from falling off.

REMOVING THE PALLET FORK
1.
If possible, find a level solid location to place the
attachment. This makes it easier to disconnect and
re-connect later on.
2.
Lower the attachment to the ground.
3.
Engage the parking brake and shut down the prime
mover. Be sure to relieve pressure to the auxiliary
hydraulic lines.
4.
Unfasten safety restraints and exit prime mover.
5.
Disengage attachment-locking mechanism (mechan-
ical type).
6.
Enter prime mover, fasten safety restraints and start
the prime mover.
7.
Disengage attachment-locking mechanism (hydraulic
type).
8.
Disengage the parking brake, and back away from
the attachment.
WARNING
WARNING
The Pallet Fork Models SSPF-1236 and SSPF-2000
should not be installed on larger loaders because the
possibility of overloading is greatly increased.
Overloading can result in damage and failure of the
pallet fork which could cause personal injury.
CAUTION
