ADJUSTMENT
If after inspecting all mast lock components and making any necessary repairs the gap between
the mast lock and latch bars on the pivot joint is still incorrect, then an adjustment will need to
be made. Please complete the following steps:
1. Retract the telescopic jib until the cylinder completely bottoms out (fully retracted).
2.
Inspect the gap between the mast lock latch and the latch bar on the pivot joint. Look for
a clearance of approximately 1/4" (if not proceed to steps 3-5).
3. Loosen the jam nut on the adjustment bolt.
4. Turn the adjustment bolt; counter-clockwise to increase the gap or clockwise to decrease
the gap.
5. Once the 1/4" clearance is achieved, then tighten the jam nut. Make sure to hold the
adjustment bolt from turning when tightening the jam nut.
Please contact your SwapLoader Distributor or SwapLoader USA should you have any
questions regarding this procedure.
