1. Raise forks to an easy accessible working height (approx. 4 to 6 feet).
2. Decide where you want to mount it to the forklift carriage – left, right, or center. (Center being the most common.) Note: Be sure to leave room to access the battery compartment that way the battery can be replaced without having to remove the unit.
3. Hook the bottom of the Tine-Guide™ housing to bottom of the carriage and push the top up flush against the carriage. [See Figure 1 & 2]
4. Using a “9/16 socket wrench”, tighten the bolts securely down against the groove on the back side of the carriage lip. [See Figure 2] (Note: be sure the unit is plumb.)
5. Tighten jam nuts snugly against top of unit. [See Figure 2]
6. Remove the battery cover and place the battery in the battery compartment.
7. Secure the connector on the battery to the connector found in the battery compartment.
8. The laser may not be level internally. The laser head located on the bottom of the unit [See Figure 3] allows adjustments to be made to both the vertical height and horizontal level of the laser.
- Calibrating: Lay the Tine-Guide™ box across the end of the forks to visually see the location of the line
- Calibrating: Remove the faceplate using a 3/32″ Allen wrench. [See Figure 3]
- Calibrating: You can now see the laser lens housing (Brass). [See Figure 3] Insert a small thin flat-head screwdriver into the slot in the laser face being careful not to touch the laser’s lens. Now turn the laser left or right to level the laser line.
Note: (You should only have to move the laser a small amount. It may also be hard to turn, but be careful not to slip and damage the laser.)
- Height Adjustment: To adjust laser level, take the 5/64″ Allen wrench and turn the set screw on the bottom of the unit clockwise or counter clockwise until the laser is aligned with the tine tips. [See Figure 3] (Note: You can now adjust the laser level a little above, below or right on the tines, your choice.)
9. Remove the cover from the battery compartment in the Tine-Guide™ housing.
10. Unplug the battery from the unit.
11. Plug the charger in to a110VAC outlet. The LED on the charger will flash red and green indicating that the charger is ready.
12. Plug the battery into the connector on the charger and the LED will turn red indicating that the unit is charging.
13. The charger will shut off automatically when the battery is fully charged and the indicator LED will turn green. (Note: Charging time is approximately 8 hours.)
14. Disconnect the battery from the charging unit.
15. Reconnect the battery to the battery cable in the Tine-Guide unit and insert the battery into the battery compartment and replace the battery cover.
