PLANNED MAINTENANCE
2-7
Check Primary Lift Chain
This adjustment procedure is for both Triplex and
Quad mast assemblies:
1. Park the forklift on a flat, level surface, with the
parking brake engaged.
2. Set the mast in the center of the forklift, facing
straight ahead, lowered to the floor and empty
(unloaded). Check the fork level gauge on either side
of the mast See Figure 2-8.
3. Set the key switch to “OFF” and remove the key.
4. Measure the distance from the floor to the bottom
heel of each fork tine. See Figure 2-9. This
measurement must be 1/8” (3.175 mm) minimum to
1/4” (6.35 mm) maximum.
5. If it is not within 1/8” to 1/4” (3.175 mm to 6.35 mm),
adjust the primary lift chain accordingly.

Inspect Tires

WARNING
1. Inspect the tires for chunking (or chipping),
embedded foreign material (wire, rocks, glass, metal,
etc.), cuts, gouges, undercutting or uneven wear.
2. Remove any object that will cause damage. See
Figure 2-10 on page 2-7.
3. Check for loose or missing hardware.
4. Remove any wire strapping or other material that is
wrapped around the axle.
5. Make sure drive wheel nuts are tight. Tighten the
wheel nuts in a cross pattern to a correct torque
value of 225 ft.-lbs (300 Nm).
6. Squeaking or friction noises coming from the tires
during operation may be caused by separation of the
tire layers.
7. Separation is sometimes visible as a crack around
the sidewall of the tire.
8. Both tires must be replaced.
9. Excessive wear may be an operator problem. Too
much throttle when starting a sharp turn causes the
inside tire to spin quicker, producing abnormal wear.
More careful driving habits can add additional miles
to tire life.
• The forklift is equipped with tires of a size and
hardness that provide the necessary traction
and still maintain a proper shape to minimize
tipping.
• To maintain stability and maximum reliability,
you must always replace tires with the type
originally supplied, consult your Landoll
dealer for ordering information.
• It is also recommended to replace worn tires
in pairs. Treaded drive tires must be replaced
when the tread depth is less than 0.0625”
(1.6mm) at the deepest point.
• Check all wheel lug nuts after 2 to 5 hours of
operation: when new forklifts begin operation
and on all forklifts when the drive wheels
have been removed and installed. Tighten the
nuts in a cross pattern to the correct torque
value shown on page 1-17. When the nuts
stay tight for eight hours, the interval for
checking the torque can be extended to 300
hours.
