NOTICE! For double lift cylinders, check and adjust in order to prevent the irregular lifting on the right and left sides caused by loads beyond the permitted limits, etc.

NOTICE! Check and adjust where required when replacing any of the following elements: Lift cylinder ASSY, lift cylinder rod SUB-ASSY, lift cylinder SUB-ASSY, mast ASSY, outer mast SUB-ASSY and inner mast SUB-ASSY

NOTICE! Having completed the adjustments, align the SAS system.

Slowly lift the inner mast and check that the right and left cylinder rod stop when the inner mast reaches maximum height.

The right and left rods stop more or less simultaneously with almost no vibrations on the inner mast.

The rods stop at a slightly different time and the upper part of the inner mast vibrates as they stop. To correct the defect, add adjustment rings to the cylinder which stops first.

Warning: This procedure requires trained personnel with PPE!

NOTICE! Adjust the forwards and backwards tilting angle of the mast (to prevent unwanted tilting) when the tilting cylinder and/or mast are replaced or disassembled

NOTICE! After adjustment, calibrate the SAS system.

NOTICE! When adjusting the rod joint by loosening it, make sure that the remaining thread is max. 18 mm long.

Enter the stroke difference between the tilting cylinders

Is the stroke difference not more than 1 mm?

Is the forwards and backwards tilting angle of the mast adjusted?

Is the remaining thread after adjusting the rod joint max. 18 mm long?

CAUTION! Remove the oil plugs with extreme care, as any excessive pressure inside the product could cause them to be expelled violently outwards.

Unscrew the top-up plug (A), the oil level plug (B) and drain plug (C) and let the oil flow out into a sufficiently large recipient (to make drainage easier, we recommend you do so while the oil is warm).

Wait a few minutes until all the oil has drained out, then screw on the drain plug (C).

Pour ATF Dexron III lubricating oil into opening (A) until it comes out of the oil level opening (B).

Screw on the top-up plug (A) and the oil level plug (B).

Work the axle; wait for a few minutes, then check the oil level again.
