Model 6042
Origin 2/04
All approved forks for this vehicle are marked with a maximum load capacity 
rating. This rating (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.
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.
