WARNING: After completing any service
procedure, always test the Clamp
through five complete cycles. First test
the Clamp empty, then test with a load to
make sure the Clamp operates correctly
before returning it to the job.
IMPORTANT: E-Series Clamps are prelubed at the factory.
Lubrication is not necessary for installation.
3.1 100-Hour
Maintenance
Every time the lift truck is serviced or every 100 hours of
truck operation, whichever comes first, complete the
following maintenance procedures on the Clamp:
• Check for loose or missing bolts, worn or damaged
supply hoses and hydraulic leaks.
• Inspect the cylinder rod ends and anchor bars for
damage. The rod end anchors operate with a loose
clearance and require no lubrication.
• Check for equal movement of arms.
• Check decals and nameplate for legibility.
3.2 500-Hour
Maintenance
After each 500 hours of truck operation, in addition to the
100-hour maintenance, perform the following procedures:
• Inspect upper and lower bearing surfaces of each
arm for wear or damage. Lubricate with silicone spray or
light grease if required.
• Check the lower mounting hooks engagement clearance
with the truck carriage bar:
Quick-Change Hooks – 3/16 in. (5 mm) max.
Bolt-On Hooks – Tight against lower carriage bar.
If adjustment is necessary, refer to Installation Step 6.
Tighten lower hook capscrews to 165 ft.-lbs. (225 Nm).
3.3 1000-Hour
Maintenance
After each 1000 hours of truck operation, in addition to the
100 and 500-hour maintenance, perform the following
procedures:
• Tighten baseplate capscrews (see Table).
• Tighten cylinder rod anchor bar capscrews (see Table).
• Tighten contact pad mounting bolts to 50 ft.-lbs. (65 Nm).
