ADJUSTING/MOVING FORKS
Carriages may have different locations where forks can be positioned. Two different
methods can be used for repositioning, depending upon the carriage structure.
Note: Apply a light coating of appropriate lubricant to ease sliding of forks or fork bar.
To slide forks:
1. Ensure attachment is properly installed. See "Attachment Installation" on page 5-9 or
"Universal Quick Attach (UQC)" on page 5-12.
2. If equipped, loosen fork locking bolt.
3. Elevate attachment to approximately 5 ft (1,5 m) and tilt carriage forward until fork
heel is free from attachment.
4. Stand at the side of the carriage. To slide fork toward the center of the carriage, push
the fork near the fork eye. To slide fork toward the edge of the carriage, pull the fork
near the fork eye. To avoid pinching, do not place fingers or thumb between the fork
and carriage structure.
5. If equipped, tighten fork locking bolt.
If removing fork bar is necessary:
1. Rest forks on ground.
2. If equipped, loosen fork locking bolt.
3. Remove fork bar.
4. Reposition forks.
5. Reinstall the fork bar and fork bar retaining mechanism(s).
6. If equipped, tighten fork locking bolt.
