Mast Skewing Adjustment
1.
Extend the mast to full lift height (see Figure 47).
* If the mast bends to the right at full extension,
a shim(s) needs to be removed from the left
main lift cylinder rod.
* If the mast bends to the lift at full extension,
a shim(s) needs to be installed on the left
main lift cylinder rod.
2.
Place a 4 X 4 X 20 in. (10 X 10 X 50 cm) wood block
between the outer intermediate and outer upright
crossmembers (see Figure 46). Lower the Mast
uprights onto the block.
3.
Remove the snap ring from the left-hand cylinder rod.
Open the truck valve to allow the cylinder rod to retract.
Tap the cylinder rod down past the outer intermediate’s
top crossmember. Install or remove shim(s) on the
cylinder rod, below the crossmember (see Figure 46).
