OPERATION

• Position the forks to the correct distance apart to locate into fork pockets.
• Locate attachment to required position along the blade of the fork.
• Affix the retention chain to the top ring of the beam with the shackle and choke the other end around the bottom rail of the carriage with the hook, ensuring that the chain is tight.
• Lift the attachment to waist height; remove the location pin in each grab and position grabs to suit the diameter of Well Ring to be lifted and reinsert location pin and safety lynch pin.
• Lift the attachment over the Well Ring so that each grab is over the vertical centre of gravity of the Well Ring and ensuring that the mast of the forklift is vertical.
• Lower the attachment onto the walls of the Well Ring until each grab is totally collapsed, which will unlock each grab and then lift at a steady speed until each of the contact pads (4 in total) grip the Well Ring and the Well Ring lifts clear of the ground.
• At this point some back tilt will be required to level out the fork deflection so that the attachment and Well Ring are operating at their Centre of gravity. The well Ring is now ready to be moved/loaded on a wagon.
• Once you have positioned the Well Ring in the area for it to be released, lower the attachment until the Well Ring contacts the ground and then continue to lower until each grab is fully collapsed, the grabs will then lock in the open position allowing the attachment to pull clear.
• You are now ready to repeat the cycle.
