PLANNED MAINTENANCE
19. Remember, both cylinders must dead-head evenly
and at the same time. Racking will eventually render
the mast assembly and/or the tilt cylinders defective.
Figure 2-14 Tilt Cylinder Adjustment Jam Nut
20. When the adjustment is complete, tighten and torque
both cylinder jam nuts. Torque by tightening the jam
nut an additional 1/10 to 1/8 turn after the nut
contacts cylinder rod.
Tilt Degree Adjustment
1.
Park forklift on a level surface.
2.
To adjust tilt degree
, tilt the mast fully backward.
WARNING
3.
Set the key “OFF” and remove it from the key switch.
4.
Loosen the tilt cylinder jam nut. See Figure 2-14.
5.
Place the tilt gauge against the rear outer mast rail
on the right side of the forklift, about 6” (152 mm)
above the pivot arm. The gauge must read between
3.0° and 3.1° maximum for masts less than 240" (1°
rear tilt for masts with MFH greater than 240").
6.
Adjust each tilt cylinder rod accordingly, using a
1-1/8” open end wrench, by turning clockwise to
shorten the stroke or counterclockwise to increase
the stroke.
7. Turn the rod only a 1/4 turn at a time.
8. You may have to tilt the mast a number of times
(repeating Steps 16 through 20) until the adjustment
is correct. Remember, both cylinders must
dead-head evenly and at the same time or racking
will occur.
9. When the adjustment is complete, tighten and torque
both cylinder jam nuts.
Lubricating the Forklift
1.
Before lubricating the forklift, lower the forks, set the
key switch to the “OFF” position and set the parking
brake.
2.
Certain grease fittings may include protective plastic
caps, remove them before applying grease.
Remember to replace the caps when you are
finished.
3.
In the following illustrations, the location of grease
fittings or surfaces to be greased may be marked by
either a grease-gun or brush icon. See Figure 2-15.
Figure 2-15: Icons
4.
Make sure all grease fittings are wiped clean before
lubricating. If any of the fittings are corroded or
blocked, replace them.
5.
Before brush-applying grease to bearing pad
surfaces, wipe out the channel to remove any foreign
matter that may have accumulated since your last
lubrication.
6.
After high-pressure washing (not recommended),
lubricate all unprotected grease fittings and
metal-to-metal surfaces, located outside the forklift.
7.
Interval frequency can be recorded from the running
hours read on the hour meter in the driver’s
compartment.
8.
See page 1-17 for recommended lubricants.
Tilt Cylinder Ends
WARNING
1.
Start the forklift and tilt the mast straight forward to
the normal carry position.
• For masts less than 294", NEVER exceed 3.0°
to 3.1° rear tilt.
•
NEVER exceed 2° forward or 1°
backward tilt
for masts greater than
294". Exceeding the tilt
limitations will cause damage to the mast, tilt
cylinders and could ultimately cause serious
damage to the forklift
and injury to those
nearby.
• DO NOT service the tilt cylinders while the
key switch is “ON”. If a joystick, steering
wheel or drive pedal is accidentally moved,
you could be caught between the mast and
the forklift, causing serious injury.
• DO NOT service the forklift and/or mast area
while the engine is running.
• If steering wheel or drive pedal is accidentally
moved serious injury could occur.
