Page: 10 / 19

DO NOT make repairs or adjustments unless you
have been properly trained and authorized to do
so. Improper repairs and adjustments can create
dangerous operating conditions. DO NOT operate
a lift truck that needs repairs. Report the need for
repairs to your supervisor immediately. If repair is
necessary, turn the key switch to the OFF posi-
tion, disconnect the battery connector, and attach
a DO NOT OPERATE tag to the control handle.
In some cases a main frame weldment or a fork frame
weldment may be damaged, while the rest of the truck
is still usable. The two frames may be separated from
each other.
The main frame weldment is connected to the fork
frame weldment by the lift cylinder, upper links, and
rocker arms. Disconnect/connect these components
to separate/assemble the frames.
See the section Lifting Mechanism 4000YRM1589.
Refer to Upper Link - Remove/Install, and Rocker Arm
- Remove/Install.
See the section Walkie Hydraulic System
