Adjusting the Chains
1. Park the forklift on a level ground and fully lower the mast and apply the parking brake.
Switch off the forklift, take off the key and press down the emergency disconnect switch.
2. Unscrew the adjusting nut (1) and (2), and adjust the length of the chains by adjusting
the adjusting screw (2) on the retaining pin.
3. Tighten the adjusting screws (1) and (2) (torque: 81.9~103 ft-lbs).
4. Raise the forks by 11.8 in and check the tensions on the left and right chains. If the
tensions are not the same, repeat the above three procedures to readjust.
After the adjustment, inspections on the chains should be conducted: use ergometer to pull
the chain when it is 39.4 in above the ground. When the ergometer reads about 11 lb , the chain
should have moved down by less than 0.79 in, and then use the same procedures to measure and
adjust the other chain.
After adjusting the chains, make sure that when the stroke of cylinders stays at 0 in the forks
gets to touch the floor. The middle mast channel is 0~0.39 in higher than inner mast channel.
