Raymond Universal Stance Reach Forklift 7520

Break free, reapply thread-locking compound (P/N 990-544), and re-torque mounting bolts to 170 ft. lb. (230 Nm)

Hydraulic Reservoir and Manifold

If you have not drained the reservoir, elevate the carriage to lower the hydraulic fluid level and minimize hydraulic fluid leakage

Turn the key switch OFF and disconnect the battery connector

NOTE: Select a floor location that is flat and level as possible.

NOTE: A new drive tire, caster tire, and load wheels should be installed and the caster adjusted prior to inspection.

Secure a plumb-bob line to one of the forks.

Raise the forks 12 in. (30.5 cm) off the floor and mark the position (on the floor) at the suspended plumb bob point.

Raise the forks to full elevation (without making contact with the mechanical stops) and mark the new position on the floor at the suspended plumb-bob point.

Measure the distance between the two points in the truck’s fore and aft direction. This is the truck’s back tilt.

Measure the distance between the two points in the side to side direction. This is the truck’s lateral lean.

NOTE: Maximum lean for a particular truck can be determined by the following formula: Maximum Lean (in.) = 0.005 x EH (in.)

Compare the measured lateral lean to the calculated dimension to determine if it is within the acceptable limit.

Warning: This procedure requires trained personnel with PPE!

Turn the key switch OFF and disconnect the battery connector.

Remove the top cover and steering cover.

Remove the snubber adjustment nut and swing the halves of the snubber out of the way.

Disconnect encoder harness connectors JPE1 and JPE2. Cut cable ties as needed.

Remove three bolts holding the steer tiller encoder to the bracket.

Route wiring harness of new encoder through the hole in the bracket. Install encoder to bracket with three bolts.

Route encoder harness and install cable ties where previously removed. Connect harness connectors JPE1 and JPE2.

Assemble the snubber and tighten the jam nut on the eyebolt so that the force required to turn the steering wheel is 5 to 7 in. lb. (0.5 to 0.8 Nm).

Warning: This maintenance check requires trained personnel with PPE!
