14.2.3 Adjustment of maximum opening point
When any of the proportional valves Q4 or Q5 are replaced, calibration 
and adjustment are required. As in the calibration case, the forks shall 
have a load of >500 kg.
The correct lowering motion shall be 0.53 m/s at an oil temperature of 
20°
 C.
1. Calibrate the valve, see “ Free lowering and main lowering valve 
calibration” on page 13 – 14.
2. Lift the forks >2 m within the desired function’s, free lift/main lift, ac-
tion heights.
3. Use a measuring tape to read the exact fork height.
4. Lower the forks, by the means of fork lift/lower control lever in max-
imum lower position, for 2 seconds.
5. Measure the ending fork height. For 2 seconds of lowering, the 
forks shall be lowered 1.06 m.
6. If the motion differs from 1.06 m, adjustment is necessary:
Release the locking nut by the means of a 10 mm key.
Use a 3 mm hex-Allen key to change the valve setting:
– CW decreases the lowering speed.
– CCW increases the lowering speed.
7. Tighten the locking nut and repeat the procedure until correct mo-
tion is reached.
