Tilt Cylinders - Check, Adjust,
Lubricate
Chassis Pivot Eyebolts
Typical Example
1. Lubricate two fittings for the pivot eyebolts, one on
each tilt cylinder.
2. Check the pivot eye pins for loose retainer bolts and
wear.
Mast Pivot Eyes
Typical Example
1. Lubricate two fittings for the mast pivot eyes, one on
each side of the mast.
2. Check the pivot eye pins for loose retainer bolts and
wear.
Cylinder Rod Extension
NOTE: The following description is for forward tilt. For
cylinder rod back tilt, the collar should be
stationary by the tilt eye. If it is not, the O-ring
inside the collar may need to be replaced. To
adjust back tilt, spacers must be added or
removed.
Typical Example
1. Check to make sure the tilt cylinders extend and
retract evenly.
2. If one cylinder continues to move after the other
cylinder has stopped in full forward or backward tilt,
an adjustment must be made to one cylinder.
Typical Example
3. To adjust the cylinder rod extension, move the
spacer to the rear and loosen the pinch bolt on the
clevis.
4. Turn the cylinder rod in or out of the clevis to obtain
the proper adjustment. Turning the rod into the
clevis shortens the stroke. Turning the rod out of the
clevis lengthens the stroke. When turning for
extending rod, the overlapped length between
clevis’s thread and cylinder rod must be minimum
32 mm
5. Tighten the pinch bolts to a torque of 95 ± 15 N•m
(70 ± 10 lb•ft). Check the cylinder rods again for
even travel.
