strain or back injury. Use lifting aids and proper
lifting techniques when installing and removing.
Support forklift frame as described in the Fork Removal
section.
Move fork lock lever to "released" position (Figure 5).
Working at the center of the Pallet Fork frame, engage
the upper fork retainer over upper fork rail.
Place lower fork retainer through the slot in the lower
fork rail.
Slide fork to the desired locking notch, in the upper fork
rail, and move lock lever to "locked" position (Figure 6).
Repeat installation for second fork.

tions in torque chart on page 19.

entering fork assembly slot and falling off during opera-
tion. Remove lockplate only to remove and install fork.
