(1) Mark caps 5 to ensure the caps are reinstalled
in original positions during reassembly.
(2) Remove cap mounting bolts. Dismount the
mast assembly from vehicle in the suspended
condition. With the lift bracket side facing up,
place the mast assembly horizontally on
wooden blocks on the level ground.

1. Mast
(1) Check each roller for wear, binding or other
defects.
(2) Check each roller on rolling surface for pitting
or other defects.
(3) Check the mast member and the welded joints
of cross members, shafts and supports for
cracks.
(4) Check the mast support bushings for wear or 207090
other defects.
2. Lift bracket
(1) Check the main rollers and side rollers for
smooth rotation. Inspect each roller for wear
and cracks.
(2) Check the welded portions of the bracket for
cracks.
(3) Check the finger bar for bend or distortion.

any clearance between the outer mast and cylinder.
Reduce the clearance, if any, to zero by shimming.

3. Adjusting method
(1) Raise the inner mast, place blocks under the
left and right sides of the inner mast, and
lower the mast until its rests on the blocks.
(2) Remove the set bolt at the top of lift cylinder
which stopped first, retract the piston rod, and
insert shims at the top of piston rod end.
(3) Extend the piston rod, and tighten the cylinder
set bolt. Remove the blocks from under the
inner mast.
(4) Slowly lower the inner mast to the bottom to 202983
ensure the piston rods move smoothly and that
the left and right lift cylinders come to the end
of stroke simultaneously.
