Product Information
Full details
The KM Elite Ultimate Shavings Fork is an expertly engineered tool designed specifically for younger stable hands and users requiring a more maneuverable, lightweight design. Its primary benefit is the combination of a high-strength aluminum shaft with a specialized 31cm head, allowing for effortless cleaning of standard bedding and pellet bedding alike. While it excels in stability and ease of use, its shorter 95cm total length is optimized for youth, meaning taller adults may find the handle length insufficient for their reach.

FAQs
Is this fork suitable for adults?
While durable enough for any user, the 95cm length is specifically designed for younger users; tall adults may find the handle too short.
Can I use this for deep litter bedding?
Yes, it is effective, but it is best suited for daily maintenance rather than heavy-duty deep litter clearing.
Does it work with hemp or paper bedding?
The head design is versatile enough to handle most bedding types, including hemp and paper, with high efficiency.
How do I store it properly?
Store hanging by the handle or lying flat in a shed, away from direct sunlight and freezing temperatures.
What is the weight of the fork?
Thanks to the aluminum shaft, it is exceptionally lightweight, making it easy to carry around the yard.
Troubleshooting
Tines becoming misshapen
Gently apply pressure to guide them back into alignment; avoid forcing them if the plastic is cold, as it may be brittle.
Accumulation of debris on shaft
Wipe down with a damp cloth after each use to prevent buildup and corrosion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This fork comes fully assembled and ready for immediate use. To ensure the longevity of your KM Elite fork, avoid using the tool to pry up heavy frozen bedding or large rocks, as this can place unnecessary stress on the flexible tines. After each use, rinse the head with water to remove acidic manure or damp bedding residue. Store the fork in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent premature oxidation or structural degradation. If the fork is used in a yard with concrete floors, avoid dragging the tine tips across the abrasive surface to preserve the integrity of the plastic head.
