37、air source. Any repairs required on forks shall be performed only by the original fork manufacturer or a qualified approved source in accordance with the manufacturers recommendations (Positioning locks may be repaired by qualified plant maintenance personnel). 4.2.2 INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS: Forks i
38、n use shall be inspected at intervals of not more than 12 months (for single shift operation) or whenever any defect or permanent deformation is detected. A visual fork inspection shall be performed carefully by trained personnel with the aim of detecting any damage, failure, deformation, etc., whic

40、 Manufacturing Standards Rev: Printed copies are uncontrolled. Page 6 of 10 4.2.3 SURFACE CRACKS: Forks should be thoroughly cleaned and examined visually for cracks, giving special attention to the heel and welds attaching all mounting components to the fork blank. The inspection shall include any
41、special mounting mechanisms of the fork blank to the fork carrier including bolt type mounting and forged upper mounting arrangements for hook or shaft type carriages. Forks shall be removed from service if cracks are found. 4.2.4 STRAIGHTNESS OF BLADE AND SHANK: The straightness of the upper face o
42、f the blade and the front face of the shank should be checked. Any fork with a deviation from straightness that exceeds 0.5 percent of the length of the blade and/or height of the shank shall be removed from service. 4.2.5 FORK ANGLE: The angle between the upper face of the blade and the load (front
43、) face of the shank shall be checked. Any fork with a deviation of more than 3 degrees from the original specification shall be removed from service. 4.2.6 DIFFERENCE IN HEIGHT OF FORK TIPS: The difference in height of one set of forks when mounted on the fork carrier should be checked. The maximum
44、allowable difference in tip heights shall not exceed 3 percent of the length of the blade. Replace one or both forks if the difference on the fork tip height exceeds the maximum allowable difference. 4.2.7 POSITIONING LOCK: The positioning lock should be checked for proper operation. If any defect i
45、s found, the fork shall be removed from service. 4.2.8 WEAR: The fork blade and shank should be checked for wear, giving special attention to the vicinity of the heel. If the thickness is reduced to 90 percent or less of the original thickness, the fork shall be removed from service. (EXAMPLE: A for
46、k with 1-3/4 inch nominal thickness shall be removed from service when the worn thickness is less than 1-9/16 inch.) Fork hooks (when provided) should be checked. The support face of the top hook and the retaining faces of both hooks should be checked for wear, crushing, and other local deformations
47、 IF any defect is found such that the clearance between the fork and the fork carrier becomes excessive, the fork shall be removed from service. 4.3. MAGNETIC PARTICLE INSPECTION: A magnetic particle inspection of forks shall be performed any time it is considered necessary based on visual inspecti
48、on and must be performed at intervals not to exceed 24 months or 4,000 operating hours, whichever occurs first.
