Using these Mini Skid Steer Hydraulic Adjustable Pallet Forks is easy. First, attach the forks to your mini skid steer properly. Make sure the hoses and couplers are well - connected. When you need to adjust the fork width, use the hydraulic control to change it between 8 inches and 40 inches on center according to the size of your pallet. Always check the load capacity. Don't try to lift loads over 4000 pounds. For maintenance, regularly inspect the hoses for any signs of wear or damage. Keep the forks clean after each use to prevent rust and ensure smooth operation. If you notice any issues, stop using the forks and have them checked by a professional.
