Step 2: Remove the locking pins from the tine lock brackets and adjust the positions of the forks of your lift truck to

match the locations of the fork tubes. Slowly drive the truck forward until the forks extend all the way through the fork

pockets and the heels of the forks contact the ends of the fork tubes (the tine lock brackets should project behind the

heels of the forks). Reinstall the locking pins; then reinstall the hitch pin clips.

NOTE: The forks of your lift truck should be AT LEAST as long as the fork tubes.
