FORK SPREAD ADJUSTMENT

Take extreme care not to get hands or fingers caught while adjusting the fork spread.
1. Move the lift truck in front of the load, and stop.
2. Position the mast vertically and lift the forks 4 in. (10 cm)
above the ground.
3. Tilt the mast forward.
4. Move up the fork stopper knob to the free position.
(The forks are movable to left and right at this position.)
5. Adjust the fork spread corresponding to the load size so that
the load center of gravity coincides with the center of the lift
truck.
6. Set the mast vertically, lower the knob and insert the fork
stopper to lock the forks. (The forks are fixed.)
