Sideshifter Inspection
After servicing, test sideshifter through 5 complete cy-
cles, first empty, then with a load to ensure proper op-
eration.
Safe and efficient truck operation is dependent on pe-
riodic inspections. When making a routine inspection of
the sideshifter, check for the following:
1. Check sideshifter for loose or missing bolts, dam-
aged hoses, hydraulic leaks and worn or missing 
fork stops.
2. Carefully inspect lower hooks for signs of wear and 
for proper clearance. Adjust if necessary (see 
Sideshifter Installation). Tighten lower hook cap 
screws to 165 Nm (1460 in lb).
3. Tighten backrest cap screws to 195 Nm 
(1726inlb).
4. Apply general-purpose lithium-based chassis 
grease to sideshifter upper and lower bearings to 
ensure sufficient movement.
5. Inspect upper and lower bearings for signs of wear. 
Replace the entire bearing set if any bearing is less 
than 2.5 mm (0.098 in) in thickness due to wear.
6. Inspect forks for damage.
