7.3 Tilt cylinder
Two tilt cylinders of double acting type are provided at each side of the frame. The
front end of the piston rod is installed on the mast and the cylinder tail is on the frame
with pins. The tilt cylinder assembly consists primarily of a cylinder body, cylinder cap,
piston and piston rod. The structure of the tilt cylinder is shown as Fig7.3.
When the tilt lever in the driver’s room is tilted forward, high pressure oil enters
from the cylinder tail to shift the piston forward, tilting the mast forward 6°. With the tilt
lever tilted, high pressure oil enters from the cylinder cap side. This shifts the piston to
the rear, causing the mast to tilt backward 12°.
