WARNING
There are pinch points on the reach carriage as-
sembly 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 8.
NOTE:
Use safety chains on the rear frame and
mast weldments to keep the reach carriage assem-
bly and mast weldments from moving. Install the
safety chains as described in Safety Procedures
When Working Near Mast in this section.
NOTE:
Make sure the reach carriage assembly is
in the fully-extended position. The front frame
should be removed with the forks removed.
1.
Remove the forks and the load backrest. Refer
to Load Backrest and Forks.
2.
Extend the reach fully and install blocks and
clamps inside the channels of the rear frame to
make sure the load rollers cannot move in the
channel. See Figure 8.
3.
Tag and disconnect the hydraulic lines from the
hose guide at the valve. Cap or plug the hy-
draulic lines and valve ports to prevent dirt
from entering the system. Make note of the lo-
cation of all cable ties for replacement during
installation. Disconnect the sideshift cylinder
hydraulics if equipped. See Sideshift Cylinder,
Repair.

Tag and disconnect the wire connectors from
the hose guide.

come out of the bottom of the front frame chan-
nels. Move the front frame away from the lift
truck and place it face down on the floor.
