2. Tire Engagement to Forks, Fig. 11, Fig.12, Fig.13:
a.) Column fork should be centered on tire so
approximately same space on both sides.
b.) Off-center loading can cause excess loading on
sliders between Column and Carriage.
c.) Roll Column fully into column so tire vertical surface
within ½" of fork face.
d.) Parking Brake should be off before lifting. This will
allow tire to rotate and vehicle to settle into forks.
