PALLET FORKS 6.4 PALLET FORKS (For the characteristics, see “6.1 AUTHORIZED OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT”). 6.4.1 DESCRIPTION 6.4.2 SAFETY DEVICES For this application two safety pins (3) are provided that keep the forks in overturned position for the circulation on roads. 6.4.3 USING THE FORKS 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.
RWA34540 3 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. 221 They are usually applied to the 4in1 bucket and when they are not used they must be overturned towards the back of the machine and secured with the safety pins provided. The pallet forks (1) make it possible to use the machine as a normal lift truck and the controls for the lifting and oscillation are the same used to control the standard bucket (See “3.3.6 pos. 4 FRONT LOADER CONTROL LE- VER”).
The distance between the pallet forks can be varied to adapt them to the load to be handled; to do this, make them slide on the coupling bar (2). 2 1 2 1 RWA34530
