WARNING

Safety

Working with unfamiliar equipment can lead to careless injuries. Read and understand this manual and
the manual for your vehicle before assembling, installing, operating, maintaining, removing, or moving
this Danuser Pallet Fork. If there is anything in this manual you do not understand, contact your dealer
or Danuser LLC. The safe use of this attachment is strictly up to you, the operator. If this attachment
is used, loaned, or rented by any other person, it is the owner's responsibility to make certain that the
operator prior to operating:

• Reads and understands the Operator's Manuals

• Is instructed in safe and proper use

• The pallet fork is designed to be operated from the vehicle seat. Keep bystanders away from the
work area. Do not operate with another person near or in contact with any part of the pallet fork.

• All operators of this attachment must read and understand this entire manual, paying particular
attention to safety messages and operation instructions, prior to assembling, installing, operating,
maintaining, removing, or moving the pallet fork.

• Please remember it is also important that you read, understand, and follow the safety signs on the
attachment. Clean or replace all safety signs if they cannot be clearly read and understood. They are
there for your safety as well as the safety of others. Danuser LLC will furnish new safety signs upon
request at no charge.

• All things with moving parts are potentially hazardous. There is no substitute for a cautious, safe­ minded operator who recognizes potential hazards and follows reasonable safety practices.

• Personal protection equipment including hard hat, safety glasses, safety shoes, and gloves are
recommended during assembly, installation, operation, maintenance, removal, or movement of the
attachment.

• Always use two people to handle heavy, unwieldy components during assembly, installation,
maintenance, removal, or movement of the pallet fork.

• Never place any part of your body where it would be in danger if movement should occur during
assembly, installation, operation, maintenance, removal, or movement of the pallet fork.

• Only properly trained people should operate this equipment. Do not allow anyone who has not read
this entire manual and understood the safety rules, safety signs, and operation instructions to use this
attachment.

• Never allow children to operate or be around the pallet fork.

• Do not use the pallet fork as a work platform. Do not stand or climb on the pallet fork.

• Do not allow riders on the equipment at any time. There is no safe place for any riders.

• Never use alcoholic beverages or drugs which can hinder alertness or coordination while operating
this equipment. Consult your doctor about operating this equipment while taking prescription
medications.

4

• Before you operate the attachment, check over pins and connections to be sure all are securely in
place. Make sure the pallet fork is securely latched to the vehicle.

• Keep hands, feet, hair, jewelry, and clothing away from all moving parts.

• Never place yourself between the vehicle and the attachment.

• Never allow anyone under the attachment at any time.

Safety

• Never place your hands or fingers between the frame and the fork tine, especially when adjusting
tines.

(continued)

• 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.

Safety is a primary concern in the design, manufacture, sale, and use of pallet forks. Danuser confirms to
you, our customer, our concern for safety.
