Installation & Use Instructions: This product is a fork attachment. Therefore, the owner should request that the fork
truck manufacturer (or a professional engineer) determine how its use will affect the capacity, operation and maintenance of
the fork truck. Plates, tags, labels, etc. affixed to the truck should be changed accordingly. The truck should also be marked to
identify the attachment and to display the approximate weight of the truck and attachment combination at maximum elevation
with load laterally centered.
To install the LM-HP:
1) Adjust the positions of the forks to align with the fork receivers (see above); then slide the unit onto the forks. Keep the
forks level and position the LM-HP along the lengths of the forks as necessary.
2) Attach the safety strap to the fork carriage of your lift truck. Wrap the safety strap around the fork carriage. Attach the hook
at the free end of the safety strap to the safety strap. The strap must be wrapped around the carriage a sufficient number of
times so that there is no slack in the strap. When properly attached, the strap should prevent the unit from sliding forward
on the forks.
3) Connect the load to the hook via appropriate rigging. The weight of the load must not exceed the capacity of the hook.
[NOTE: The capacity is cast on the surface of the hook and it is displayed on tag 023 (see “Label placement diagram” on p.
2).] Connect the load to the hook in a manner that will minimize load swing when the load is lifted off of the ground.
Swinging loads might cause injuries and/or damage equipment.
Inspections: Inspect the LM-HP as described to ensure that the unit is and remains in normal, safe operating condition.
Before each use (including the first use) inspect:
1. Handle and pry plate: look for regions of significant wear, cracks, deformation and rot.
2. Wheels and mounting hardware: roll the pry bar to confirm that the wheels and bushings are in normal condition.
Examine the axle, machine bushings and cotter pins. The axle should be straight and undamaged. Bushings should
