The following procedure is performed on attachments with
standard (shimmed) design for contact pad and stabilizer.
This procedure can be performed with the arms in place
and the attachment mounted on the truck. A Cascade
4-Point Force Distribution Tester can also be used to verify
the clamp force over the contact pad surface.
1
Extend the arms to frame width. Lower the contact
pads so that they just touch the floor.
2
Without Tester –
Measure the distance between the
pads in two places: at the bottom center (in-line with the
pivot pins) and 73 cm above the pad bottom centers as
shown. The difference between the two measurements
is the pad camber.
With Tester –
First, perform Steps 1–5 on the following
page. Then, continue to Step 4 in this procedure.
3
Determine the camber required for the product being
handled. Refer to the Pad Camber Chart found in the
Load Troubleshooting section (page 13).
4
Loosen the contact pad capscrews and nuts.
NOTE:
It is not necessary to remove the capscrews
and nuts to insert the shims.
5
Install shims as required.
• Installing shims at the bottom and middle of the pad
to provide positive camber (increase clamp force).
• Installing shims at the top and middle of the pad to
provide negative camber (decrease clamp force).
CAUTION:
Use an equal number of shims on each
contact pad. Pad camber must be the same on both
sides of the attachment for proper load handling.
IMPORTANT:
If equipped with "U" shims, refer to the
adjustment procedure, Step 7, on the following page.
