14. The rod and rod end threads must be absolutely clean. Spray threads with loctite primer #7471
and allow to dry for 5 minutes. Coat threads liberally with loctite #242. Thread rod end cap unto
rod and tighten using strap wrench to hold rod.
15. Push rod back into cylinder for re-assembly.
16. Reconnect hydraulic line.
17. Remove nuts from tie rod ends and set the cylinder mounting plate in place. Secure the mounting
plate with fasteners.
18. Install tie rod nuts ush with tie rod ends and torque each nut the exact number of turns used to
remove it.
19. Re-install the retaining ring.
20. Using a suitable lifting device, raise the lift to its normal vertical position.
21. Bleed air from the cylinder by cycling the mast to full extension several times. The cylinder is self
bleeding; air will be forced out of the cylinder during the lowering cycle.
22. If necessary, remove pinch shield and check the alignment of the cylinder within the mast as-
sembly by looking down the mast with a ashlight. The cylinder may be moved left or right by
tightening one or the other of the tie rod nuts.
If the cylinder is not centred, the mast may
“hang” when lowering.
Keep hands clear of the mast assembly when the pinch shield is
removed for inspection purposes; pinching injury to hands may result.
Never operate a machine with the pinch shield removed except for in-
spection.
ORIFICE VALVE CLEANING
Using a suitable lifting device, lower the work platform into a horizontal position (refer to Figure 3-5).
If possible, place the machine on a sturdy work table using a forklift.
Never attempt to lower lift into a horizontal position without the
use of a suitable lifting device as this can lead to bodily injury
or damage to the machine .
1. Remove the cylinder mounting plate fasteners and retaining ring.
2. Remove tie rod nuts and count the number of turns required to bring the nut ush with the tie
rod end and record for reference during installation. The tension on the tie rods maintain the left/
right positioning of the cylinder within the mast assembly. Re-installing the nuts with the proper
tension will speed up adjustment later.
3. Remove the cylinder mounting plate. Be careful not to allow the tie rods to suck back into the
mast assembly. Replace the nuts on the tie rod ends temporarily to prevent this.
4. Remove the hydraulic line from the cylinder tting and cap the cylinder tting to prevent contami-
nants from entering the cylinder.
