Figure 4. Putting Lift Truck on Blocks (W25-30-40ZC)
How to Raise the Load Wheels (W30-40ZA
and W20-30ZR)
WARNING
Never raise the base arms any higher than
necessary to change the load wheels. Always
raise both base arms at the same time. Raising
the base arms too high can make the lift truck tip
over and cause damage or possible injury.
1.
Put blocks on both the front and back sides of
the drive tire to prevent movement of the lift
truck. Refer to Figure 3.
2.
Use an overhead lifting device and web sling
under the base arms at the mast to raise the
load wheels. Another lift truck can also be used
to raise the base arms. Make sure the overhead
lifting device and web sling or other lift truck
has a capacity of at least two-thirds (2/3) the
total weight of the lift truck including the
battery. See the nameplate for the lift truck
weight.
WARNING
DO NOT lift both ends at once.
3.
To raise the fork end of the lift truck, hook a lift
strap through each load wheel opening in the
top of each fork and lift together. See Figure 2.
Raise the outriggers only enough to suspend the
wheels. Install blocks under the outriggers at the
rear of the wheels to support the lift truck. See
Figure 3.
How to Raise the Load Wheels (W25-30-40ZC)
For the following instructions, refer to Figure 4.
1.
Put the mast in the vertical position. Put a
block under each outer upright.
2.
Tilt the mast fully forward until the load
wheels are raised from the floor.
3.
Put blocks under the frame behind the load
wheels.
4.
Put blocks on both sides (front and back) of the
drive tire to prevent movement of the lift truck.
5.
If the hydraulic system will not operate, use a
hydraulic jack under the side of the frame near
the front. Make sure the jack has a capacity
equal to at least two-thirds (2/3) the weight of
the lift truck including the battery. See the
nameplate for the lift truck weight.
