Assembly
Attach the handle to the fork carrier:
1. Slide the handle over the threaded shaft and align the handle peg with the desired
peg hole; then
2. Apply the compression spring; and
3. Secure the handle and spring in place with two square nuts. Tighten the bottom nut
firmly against the spring and then tighten the upper nut against the bottom nut.
4. Wind the end of the star knob into the welded nut on top of the fork carrier. Only wind
the knob until the end is flush with the top of the fork carrier. The knob should not
project into the space of the fork carrier.

Operation
Raise the forks of your lift truck sufficiently for the fork carrier to slide over the fork. Slide
the fork carrier all the way to the heel of the fork; then tighten the star knob firmly against
the fork to prevent it from sliding. Pivot the handle forward to raise the handle peg out of the
peg hole and then rotate the handle to align the peg with one of the peg holes along the
sides of the carrier (1, 2, 4, or 5).
Maintenance: Always inspect the fork caddy before using it.
1. Check the soundness of the fastener connections (square nuts, hex nuts, star knob).
2. Inspect the casters to confirm normal motion and state of wear. If either caster is
excessively worn, immediately tag the unit “OUT OF SERVICE” and replace the caster
before returning the unit to service.
3. Inspect the threaded shaft, spring, and handle and confirm that each part is undamaged
(for example, not bent or cracked) and in normal condition.
