INSTALLATION

CONTRX Fork Lift Truck Attachments shall be assembled and installed in accordance with the

manufacturer's instructions, unless other specific arrangements have been approved in writing by

manufacturer.

Adjust width of forks to match fork pockets of forklift jib attachment. Be sure truck forks extend

through full length of fork tubes/pockets. Anchor forklift attachment by securing safety chain to the

truck’s frame.

OSHA 1910.178(a)(5) indicates “If the truck is equipped with front-end attachments other than factory

installed attachments, the user shall request that the truck be marked to identify the attachments and

show the approximate weight of the truck and attachment combination at a maximum elevation with

load laterally centered.” CONTRX provides the information required to enable the user to contact the lift

truck manufacturer directly to meet this OSHA requirement. This information can be found on the

CONTRX Technical Data tag affixed to the attachment.

OPERATOR TRAINING

Fork lift attachments shall be operated in accordance with manufacturer's operating instructions, and by

personnel who have received instructions described in the "Operating Practices" section of these

guidelines.

Training shall also include instruction regarding:

1. Details of the operating cycle.

2. Application of the attachment to the load including (according to the manufacturer's instructions)

adjustments to the attachment, if any, to adapt it to various sizes and kinds of loads.

3. Instruction in any special operations or precautions that may be required.

4. Recognition of proper load configuration. For example, preferred operation requires an orderly

pattern of stacking.

5. Before assuming responsibility for using the attachment, an operator shall demonstrate his

understanding of the lifting procedure to the instructor.

The instructor should record, for your personnel evaluation, notes of operator's demonstrated ability.
