Using the Aardwolf Pivot Forklift Boom PFB1 - 2600 is easy. First, slip it onto the fork blades of your forklift through the fork pockets. Make sure to secure it firmly using the two bolts at the back of each fork pocket and the restraint pins. You can adjust the height and length according to your needs. When using the tilt feature, it'll help you compensate for the hook and sling length. For safety, always check the working load limit. The boom lift capacities depend on your forklift's capacity, so never exceed the limits. As for maintenance, regularly check the bolts and restraint pins to ensure they're tight. Also, keep the boom clean and free from debris. If you notice any signs of wear or damage, get it checked by a professional right away.
