PRECAUTIONS AND PREPARATION

Precautions
With Mechanical System
• For lift piping, fully tilt the masts forward, operate the control lever
several times forward, and turn key switch OFF. Operate the
control lever several times backward, and release the residual
pressure from piping.
• For lift piping, place the fork at the lowest position, and operate
the lift lever several times downward.

With Joystick System


• For tilt piping, first place the fork horizontal (tipped slightly forward)
and turn the key switch off. Next, loosen the piping and let set
while the remaining pressure escapes.
• For lift piping, place the fork at the lowest position, turn the key
switch off, loosen the shut-off valve and let the remaining pressure
escape.
• For attachment piping (3rd and 4th)
• Union connector
Place the attachment in neutral, turn the key switch off, loosen
the piping, and let set while the remaining pressure escapes.
• Coupling
Installing and removing the cup may be difficult if the remaining
pressure inside the piping is high. If this is the case, turn the key
switch ON and while idling tip the lever (3rd and 4th) backwards
or forwards, and one of the cups will come off. Then tip the lever
in the other direction and remove the other cup.

! CAUTION
• Before removing hydraulic lines or piping, the oil pressure
remaining in hydraulic lines is completely bled off.
• To prevent foreign matter from entering, always maintain a
clean workplace.
• When disconnecting pipes, cover the surrounding area with
rag and ensure oil does not contaminate other parts.
• Never allow foreign matter to enter pipes when connecting.
• Put disassembled parts on clean paper or rag and use care
not to contaminate, scratch or dent them.
• Always assign lifting operations to qualified operators
trained in slinging or hoisting procedures.
• When handling heavy parts, two people should perform the
work.

NOTE:
• For the removal, installation and service of pump motor, refer to
MM section.
• For the removal of instrument inner cover, floor mat and floor
panel, refer to BF section.
• For removal and installation of mast, refer to LM section.

OIL PUMP (GEAR PUMP)

Assembly
1. Wash each part.
2. Secure the cast surface of mounting bracket in a vise with the
mounting surface facing downward.

3. Securely insert seal plate and backup into the groove of


mounting bracket so as not to protrude from outer surface. Be
careful about the insertion direction of backup.
4. Install dowel pin to mounting bracket, and then install pump
body to mounting bracket while aligning it with dowel position.
At this time, dowel pin is the positioning pin. If it is hard to insert
dowel, tap and insert it using a plastic hammer.

5. Insert side plate into the bottom of pump body with the copper
alloy side facing up. Be careful about the intake side/exhaust
side of side plate.
When the side plate cannot be moved because it tilted, hold the
drive shaft end of drive gear and slightly push the higher side of
side plate to insert it easily.
6. Insert the drive gear and driven gear while aligning the matching
marks with it put on shaft end surface. Be careful about the drive
gear and driven gear.
After inserting gear, apply clean hydraulic fluid of 2 to 3 m (0.07
to 0.10 US fl oz, 0.07 to 0.11 Imp fl oz) to the tooth groove.
7. Insert side plate into the pump body with the copper alloy side
facing down. Be careful about the intake side/exhaust side.
8. Securely insert seal plate and backup into the groove of cover so
that they do not protrude from outer surface.
9. Install dowel pin to pump body, and then install cover while
aligning it with dowel position.
Be careful to prevent the seal plate and backup from dropping or
protruding. If the cover protrudes approximately 2 to 3 mm (0.08
to 0.12 in) between the pump body and cover after installing, the
cover might not be installed correctly in step 8. Check again.
10. Insert and temporarily tighten flanged bolt to the tightening
torque of 2.0 to 4.9 Nm (0.2 to 0.5 kgf-m, 2 to 3 ft-lb). The
thread should be in the wet condition.

• If the tightening torque is outside the specified torque,
it may cause damage to the bolt and the hydraulic fluid
spouting from pump matching surface, which may cause
accident.

13. Remove the pump from the vise, and then rotate the shaft end
of drive gear using a tool. If it rotates lightly, there are no foreign
materials and no seal getting caught. (If any seal gets caught,
the shaft cannot rotate manually. Perform disassembly and
assembly again.)

14. Install oil seal to mounting bracket. Apply a thin film of clean
lithium grease to lip of oil seal.
When pressing in the oil seal, be careful not to damage the lip
and do not press in the oil seal obliquely. Wrap the front drive

Assembly
To assemble, reverse the order of disassembly. Pay attention to the
following points.
• Before assembling, lubricate each part with new hydraulic oil.
• Clean packings in petroleum-base hydraulic oil.
• During assembly, never allow foreign matter such as dust to enter
parts.
Cylinder head:
2W, 3F, 3V mast : 197 - 245 Nm
(20 - 25 kg-m, 145 - 180 ft-lb)
2F mast : 197 - 225 Nm
(20 - 23 kg-m, 145 - 166 ft-lb)

Adjustment
Bleeding Air
1. Add hydraulic oil up to the upper limit of level gauge.
2. Raise and lower mast slowly.
3. Lower mast fully and check the hydraulic oil capacity in tank.
If hydraulic oil level is reduced, fill up to the upper limit of level
gauge.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until the hydraulic oil capacity is not
reduced.
5. Check that cylinder moves smoothly up and down.

Adjusting Of Cylinder Height


To prevent mast from being twisted and deformed, adjust the
cylinder height. Be sure to adjust, especially when replacing only one
cylinder.
1. Check that forklift is placed horizontally.
2. Remove lock nuts/fixing bolts at the upper ends of right and left
lift (mast) cylinders.
3. Fully and slowly raise mast without load, then check whether
right and left cylinders reach upper ends simultaneously.

4. If one cylinder is delayed, adjust delayed cylinder by inserting


shims.
Thickness of shim: 1.00 mm (0.039 in) (only one type)
5. Repeat the adjustment above until there is no difference between
the right and left cylinders.

6. For 2W mast, tighten the lock nut until it reaches the incomplete
thread of the stud bolt. At this time, the difference between the
upper beam and the lock nut is 1 mm (0.0394 in) or more.

Removal
! CAUTION
• Be sure to keep hands and feet out of danger.

Preparation
1. Remove from mast carriage assembly with fork.
2. Jack up the front of vehicle to keep about 120 mm (4.72 in)
of clearance from lower end of outer mast to floor (refer to GI
section).
3. After setting mast vertical and lower full-free cylinder at the lower
end, turn key switch OFF and disconnect the battery cable.

! CAUTION
• Be sure to lower full-free cylinder fully to discharge
remaining pressure in pipes.

Procedures
1. Disconnect the hydraulic piping from the full-free cylinder.

! CAUTION
• Oil tends to spill if hoses are disconnected, so be sure to
block the end with stoppers.

2. Lift up the full-free cylinder using a nylon sling or a lifting wire.


3. Remove the full-free cylinder mounting bolt. Lift up the full-free
cylinder, and remove it.

Disassembly
1. Loosen the cylinder head, and remove the cylinder head from the
cylinder tube.
2. Disassemble the cylinder head.
• Push the wiper ring out by hitting with a screwdriver.

! CAUTION
• Replace a removed wiper ring with a new one. (Because the
outer diameter of the removed wiper ring has been reduced,
it cannot be reused.)

• Remove the U-ring by prying with a screwdriver.

! CAUTION

• Replace removed U-rings with new ones.

3. Remove the piston rod assembly from the cylinder tube.

! CAUTION
• Do not disassemble the piston rod assembly.

Inspection
Cylinder Head
Measure the cylinder head inner diameter and piston rod outer
diameter, and calculate the clearance. When the clearance exceeds
the limit value, replace the cylinder head.
Standard: 0.05 - 0.15 mm (0.0020 - 0.0059 in)
Limit: 0.2 mm (0.008 in)

Piston Rod
• Check the piston rod for bending. When excessive bend is found,
replace the piston rod.
• Check the sliding face for damage. In case of minor damage,
repair with oil stone. In case of severe damage, replace the piston
rod.
• When the hard chromium plating is peeled off, plate again, or
replace the piston rod.

Cylinder Tube
When the inner face is damaged, replace the cylinder tube.

Wiper Ring, U-Ring, Backup Ring, O-Ring And Wear


Ring
Do not reuse. Always replace with new ones.

Assembly
Assemble in the reverse order of disassembly. Pay attention to the
following:
• Before assembling, moisten the parts with hydraulic oil.
• Clean the packing with a petroleum hydraulic fluid.
• Prevent foreign objects from entering into the inside during
assembly.
• Tighten the cylinder head to the specified torque.
Cylinder head:
2F, 3F mast : 300 - 370 Nm
(31 - 37 kg-m, 202 - 272 ft-lb)
3V mast : 246 - 274 Nm
(25 - 28 kg-m, 181 - 202 ft-lb)

• 3V MAST:
Mounting bracket of full free cylinder to be inserted into the
notch of inner mast 2nd-beam. After surface A of 2nd-beam
touches surface B of mounting bracket, bolt is to be tightened.
(3V mast)
: 44 - 54 Nm (4.4 - 5.6 kg-m, 32 - 40 ft-lb)

• Seal the taper threads of the piping with seal tape securely.
Prevent chips of the seal tape or other foreign object from entering
into the hydraulic piping.
• O-rings are used at the connectors which connect the hydraulic
units. When assembling, insert the connector with a guide on the
threads so that the O-ring is not damaged.
• Screw in the connector by hand. When the connector is
positioned, tighten the lock nut to the specified torque. (For the
tightening torque, refer to “Mast Piping”.)

Adjustment
Bleeding Air
1. Add hydraulic fluid to the upper limit of the level gauge.
2. Lift the mast slowly, then lower it slowly.
3. Lower the mast fully, and check the hydraulic fluid amount in the
tank. When the hydraulic fluid amount is low, add to the upper
limit of the level gauge.
4. Perform the operations mentioned in steps 2 and 3 above
repeatedly until the hydraulic fluid amount does not decrease.
