15.1.3 Removing the mast from the truck
1. Extend the reach carriage fully.
2. Set all hydraulic functions on the mast to the depressurised posi-
tion, fork carriage fully lowered, tilt and side shift in the centre posi-
tion.
DANGER!
Risk of spurting oil.
Some parts of the hydraulic system may still retain residual pressure 
despite the system being depressurised.
Make sure there are no other persons in the vicinity of the truck and 
that you are standing to the side of the coupling you are about to dis
-
connect.
3. Switch off the current and disconnect the battery by withdrawing 
the battery cut out connector.
4. Remove the forks and any load support.
5. Secure the mast using a traverse and lifting device (see the section 
"Tools").
6. Tie it up so that the weight of the mast is taken up by the traverse.
7. Undo the two screws (8 mm allen screws) that hold the protective 
plate over the main valve in the reach carriage, and remove the 
plate. 
8. Remove the hoses for the tilt (A1, B1), main lift (H2, H3) and free lift 
cylinder (H1) from the main valve. Mark them to facilitate assembly.
9. Fit protective plugs on the main valve and hoses. 
10. Disconnect any height indication and side shift cables. 
11. If the truck is fitted with extra hydraulic functions, loosen the hy-
draulic hoses from the valve block on the reach carriage. Fit protec-
tive plugs on hoses and valve block.
