Skid Shoe Blocks
Some trucks are supplied with skid shoe blocks
to provide clearance from the floor to the
bottom of the truck. If your truck is equipped
with skid shoe blocks, they must be inspected
for wear and adjusted to prevent wear of
undercarriage components.
Skid Shoe Adjustment
1. Lower the forks completely.
2. If equipped with the optional keypad,
press the red OFF ( O ) key. Place the Main
ON/OFF Switch in the OFF position.
Disconnect the battery connector from the
truck.
3. Jack and block the truck under the tractor
frame.
4. Adjust the skid blocks to the correct
position on the mounting bolts.
5. Torque the nut to 27 ft. lb. (37 Nm).
