Model 6042

Origin 5/02

All approved forks for this vehicle are marked with a maximum load capacity
rating. This rating (Figure 57, 1) is stamped on the left edge of the fork (2)
just below the fork pivot shaft (3). The rating is listed in U.S. pounds and
based upon a 24" (610 mm) load center. This rating specifies the maximum
load capacity that the individual fork can safely carry at a maximum load
center (4) of 24" (610 mm).

Since forks are always used in multiples, the total rating of any combination
of forks will be the sum of their rated capacity. Other than block forks, all
forks should be used in matched pairs. Block forks should be used in
matched sets.

Figure 57

The maximum load capacity for this vehicle is 6,000 pounds (2.721 Kg). The
matched pair or set of forks used on this vehicle should have total load
ratings which equal or exceed 6,000 pounds (2.721 Kg). When the load
rating of the vehicle differs from the load capacity of the forks, the lower
value becomes the overall load capacity.

Fork Ratings

WARNING:

DO NOT exceed the total rated capacity of the

specific pair of forks being used. Forks can break causing loss of
load and possible death or serious personal injury to the operator
or personnel in the area. If the total rated capacity of the forks
exceeds the capacity of the vehicle, the vehicle capacity should
not be exceeded.
