Connect the hydraulic circuit; making sure that the operating pressure of the pipes is higher than or equal to that indicated on the identification label (Picture 1 and Tab 1 pag.
3 INSTALLATION 3.2 Fork installation on attachment 3.2.1 Fork installation – TYPE “STANDARD” Apply the forks after unscrew the fork blocks from fork holders TIPO “STANDARD” (Picture 9), according to the width of the forks, use the most appropriate fork stops (lateral or placed on the front part of the sliders). Picture 9 2.
3 INSTALLATION 3.2.2 Fork installation – TYPE “FB” TYPE “BOLTED 1. Relieve the pressure of the hydraulic system and disconnect the FORKS” pipes. 2. Apply the forks on fork holder, tightening the relative screws that lock them (Picture 11). Picture 11 3.
3 INSTALLATION 3.2.3 Fork installation – TYPE “FS” TYPE “WELDED 1. Relieve the pressure of the hydraulic system. FORKS” 2. Insert the forks, with the relative forks welded on them, and by the appropriate nut, fasten them to the cylinders (Picture 13). Picture 13 Check the correct locking of the forks (Picture 14).

5 USE RULES 5 USE RULES Before using the equipment, check the tightness of the pipes and the correctness of assembly and connection by performing about ten preliminary operations. When using the equipment, it is necessary to follow the instructions listed below: 1.
Page 23
5 USE RULES In this occasion, we suggest to control the chart Picture 18, where, according to the increase of the centre of gravity (x-axis) there is a load reduction multiplying factor (y-axis). The multiplying factor, obtained based on desired load centre position, will be multiplied with nominal capacity of the equipment.
Page 24
5 USE RULES The condition of the soil, the quickness of the movement of the load and the lifting height can affect the hold of the load and must be taken into consideration as regards specific occasions. Side shifting movement is forbidden in movement. Side shifting movement in condition of lifted mast is permitted only to bring back the load at the center of the mast.
5 USE RULES 5.1 Integral side shift It is one most frequently used in the WIDE OPENING FORK POSITIONER TYPE 883 and uses the same cylinders that translate the forks. The stroke depends on the opening and will be equal to zero in maximum opening and minimum closing.
6 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE 6 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE Failure to adhere to the norms and established times for maintenance operations, will be detrimental to the good functioning of the equipment and will annul the guarantee conditions. All maintenance operations must be carried out with the forklift motionless and the hydraulic circuit not activated, perimeter the entire maintenance area, using the necessary protective devices and, if it is necessary to disassemble the cylinders, always using a tray or container to recover the oil still present in the cylinder itself.
6 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE 6.3 Maintenance every 1000 hours 1. Check the condition of upper and lower sliding devices if an excessively worn component is found, it is recommended to replace the entire assembly of the component in question. 2. Check the state of the sliding axis, making sure it is not scratched or deformed in any way 3.
7 DISASSEMBLY PROCEDURE 7 DISASSEMBLY PROCEDURE 7.1 Disassembly attachments from forklift 1. Relieve the pressure of the hydraulic system. 2. Remove the forks, following the operations indicated in the fork’s installation phase and attachment installation in reverse. 3.
