• Never place your hands or fingers between the frame and the fork tine, especially when adjusting
tines.
• Do not exceed the vehicle’s rated operating load. Use sufficient counterweights. Move the vehicle
slowly when the attachment is raised.
• Do not exceed the pallet fork tine’s rated capacity. Always use proper length forks.
• The pallet fork is designed to vertically lift stable objects. Only lift objects that have solid bases that
rest securely on the forks.
• Do not lift any objects that exceed the height of the brick guard.
• Do not lift any objects that are not secured or banded which may be small enough to fit through the
openings in the brick guard.
• Balance the load on both forks, and always keep the load level.
• Carry the load low. A heavy load can cause instability of the vehicle. Use extreme care during
travel. Slow down on turns and watch out for bumps. Use all safety devices, including a seat belt, as
recommended in the vehicle operator’s manual.
• For operator safety, always keep load in front of vehicle. Never position load over operator.
• Do not operate the pallet fork on steep hillsides. When operating the pallet fork on uneven or hilly
terrain, position the vehicle with the attachment uphill. With the attachment downhill, the vehicle
could tip when attempting to raise the pallet fork. Consult your vehicle operator’s manual for
maximum incline allowable.
• Stay away from power lines when raising the attachment. Serious injury or death can result if
contact is made.
• Always shut off the vehicle engine, remove the key, lower vehicle arms, and relieve all hydraulic
pressure before dismounting the vehicle. Never leave equipment unattended with the vehicle
running.
• Always use care when operating the pallet fork. Most accidents occur because of neglect or
carelessness.
