Operation

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

The maximum load capacity for this vehicle is 9,000 pounds (4.082 Kg). The
matched pair or set of forks used on this vehicle should have total load ratings which
equal or exceed 9,000 pounds (4.082 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 Rating

WARNING:

DO NOT exceed the total rated capacity of the spe-

cific 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.
