6. Instructions for use
Telescopic forks offer the possibility to load and unload a lorry from one side, to stack goods at
warehouses double-deep, to pick up two pallets at a time, and they may be used as extension forks
when operating with pallets of various dimensions.
The telescopic forks are easy to mount and to demount. The telescopic forks must be tuned to the
fork-lift truck for the purpose that they are intended for. The final capacity must be defined by an
authorised fork-lift truck dealer. On the type plate of the fork-lift truck the capacity must be adapted to
the new combination of fork-lift truck and telescopic forks. It is advisable that the fork-lift truck driver is
professionally trained in the use of telescopic forks.

Attention!:
The contact of the telescopic forks with the ground, during driving and
during pick-up of a load, must be avoided as far as possible. This
prevents wear at the bottom of the outer forks. To prevent this wear
wear-resistant pads can be welded to the underside of the outer
forks.
Attention!:
When moving in reverse take care that the telescopic forks do not
drag over the ground. This can result in damage to outer fork as well
as to piston rods.
Attention!:
Telescopic forks of the type REE are extension forks. This type of
telescopic forks is not intended to be extended and retracted when
loaded. Retract or extend the telescopic forks to the required length
before picking up a load.
