For the following procedures refer to Figure 7, Fig-
ure 8, and Figure 9.

WARNING
There are pinch points on the reach car-
riage that can cause an injury.
Use clamps
and blocks to prevent the scissor arms from
moving. Install the clamps and blocks at the
channels of the rear frame to make sure the
load bearings cannot move in the channel. See
Figure 7.
NOTE:
Use safety chains on the rear frame and mast
weldments to keep the reach assembly and mast
weldments from moving. Install the safety chains as
described in Safety Procedures When Working Near
Mast in this section.
NOTE:
Make sure that the reach assembly is in the
fully extended position. The outer frame should be
removed with the forks removed.
1.
Remove the forks as described in Fork Replace-
ment.
2.
Remove the sideshift cylinder as described in

3.
Extend the reach fully and install blocks and
clamps inside the channels of the rear frame to
make sure the load bearings cannot move in the
channel. See Figure 7.
4.
Tag and disconnect the hydraulic lines at the bot-
tom of the rear frame. Cap or plug the hydraulic
lines and valve ports to prevent dirt from enter-
ing the system. Make note of the location of all
cable ties for replacement during installation.

Tag and disconnect the wire at the bottom of the
rear frame. Remove the hose and wire guide.
6.
Connect an overhead lifting device (crane) to the

to allow the inner scissor arm rollers to come
out of the bottom of the outer frame channels.
Move the outer frame away from the lift truck
and place it face down on the floor.
