Fork sleeves (optional)

In order to connect the forklift truck and the fork sleeve (3), the forklift truck forks (1) are inserted into the
fork sleeve (3).
The forks (1) are locked either by using the locking screws (2), which are inserted through a hole in the forks
(1), or by using a chain or rope, which must be placed through the eyelet on the fork sleeve (3) and around
the fork carrier ().
This connection must be made, otherwise the fork sleeve may slip off the forklift forks during forklift
handling. DANGER OF ACCIDENT!

Adjustment of the gripping range

By changing the gripping range, the RG-8/40 device can be used to grip goods of different sizes (concrete pipes).
Before a material to be gripped can be lifted and moved, the corresponding gripping range and the height-adjustable
support must be set.
•
The gripping range must never be set on both sides at the same time.
Always set the gripping range first on one side and then on the other.
•
Pull spring bolt (1) upwards and turn by 180°.
•
Move the rectangular tube (2) until the gripping range is approx. 5 cm larger than the material to be
gripped.
•
Pull the spring bolt (1) upwards again and turn it by 180°.
•
Push the rectangular tube (2) back and forth until the spring bolt (1) engages in the corresponding
hole.
•
Gripper range adjustment must generally be symmetrical.
This means that the same adjustment hole must be used for both rectangular tubes.
•
Take care when adjusting the gripping range. Risk of injury to hands!
Use protective gloves.→
