Clamp is difficult to attach to forklift arms

Check that the forklift arms are straight and aligned with the clamp's fork opening. Ensure no debris is obstructing the fork channels. Verify the fork opening dimensions are compatible.

Hand screws are stiff or hard to turn

Clean the threads of the hand screws and apply a lubricant suitable for industrial environments. Check for any damage or bending of the screws.
