1-10 TORQUE WRENCH USE

Numerous forklift components require that the attaching hardware be torqued to a specific value during
component installation. A torque wrench is required to tighten bolts, nuts, and screws. Listed below are
standard procedures and precautions to observe when using a torque wrench:
• Ensure that the torque wrench has been calibrated.
• Always work with clean fastener threads that are free of corrosion.
• If an installation procedure specifies a thread lubricant, use it.
• Observe the torque sequence instructions provided in installation procedures.
• Pull the torque wrench in a clockwise direction, using a steady, smooth motion. A fast or jerky
tightening motion will result in an improperly torqued fastener.
• Avoid over-tightening a fastener with a conventional wrench or impact wrench before applying
a torque wrench to the fastener.
• Do not use the torque wrench to apply greater amounts of torque than its rated capacity.
• Never use a torque wrench as a hammer or to pry apart parts.
• Never use a torque wrench as a conventional wrench.
• Do not apply a torque wrench to a nut that has been tightened. Back off the nut one turn with a
conventional wrench and retighten it to the correct torque with a torque wrench.
• Do not use the torque wrench to break loose bolts that have been previously tightened.
• Avoid dropping a torque wrench. If a wrench is dropped, check its accuracy on a torque tester.
• When using a torque wrench, do not over-torque the fastener by applying torque past the
release point. Learn the feel of the torque wrench release rather than relying on the sound the
wrench makes.
• When not in use, set the torque wrench to its lowest torque value. But DO NOT set the wrench
to a value below the lowest torque value.
When the torque wrench is in frequent or continuous use, periodically check the wrench's calibration
accuracy.
1-11 CAP SCREW TORQUE VALUES

Refer to Table 1-9 for a listing of recommended assembly torque values for Society of Automotive
Engineers (SAE) Grade 5 and Grade 8 caps crews. The following criteria apply to the determination of
torque values:
• All torque values are based on the use of through-hardened flat washers under the bolt head and
nut or only under the bolt head in a tapped hole application. This provides a uniform, hard, smooth
bearing surface.
• Torque values are calculated at 75% of proof load. This calculation method provides a safety factor.
• All dry torque values are given for the as received condition, such as plated hex head cap screws.
Ensure that damaged cap screws are replaced with SAE grade 8 cap screws from a reputable
manufacturer/vendor. Refer to Figure 1-9 for a diagram depicting the cap screw head markings of a grade
8 cap screw or bolt.

2-5 LOCKOUT/TAGOUT PROCEDURE

Perform the following procedure to lockout and tagout the forklift. This procedure, requiring a lock, danger
tags, and a condition tag is to be used whenever the forklift is unsafe for operation or maintenance.
REMOVING FORKLIFT FROM SERVICE
1. Attach danger tags (Figure 2-1) to steering wheel and ignition key.
2. Pull back on both battery cover T-handles until they release from holders (Figure 1-2).
3. Lower battery cover.
4. Set battery disconnect switch (Figure 2-2) to OFF.
5. Lock battery disconnect switch.
If forklift is unsafe for operation or maintenance, the defect or defects must be

clearly documented and posted in a conspicuous place on the forklift. Failure to
comply may result in death, serious injury, and property damage.
6. Attach condition tag (Figure 2-1) to battery disconnect switch. Condition tag should clearly state why
forklift is unsafe for operation or maintenance.
RETURNING FORKLIFT TO SERVICE

When the forklift has been repaired and made safe for operation and maintenance, perform the following
procedure to return the forklift to service:
1. Remove lock and condition tag from battery disconnect switch.
2. Raise and secure battery cover.
3. Remove danger tags from steering wheel and ignition key.
NOTE:
SAMPLE DANGER TAGS ARE PROVIDED IN THE

Figure 2-1. Danger and Condition Tags

P/N 24933-001
Figure 2-2. Battery Disconnect Switch
2-6 GENERAL MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS
• Do not make adjustments that you do not understand.

• Do not permit loose clothing or long hair near moving parts.
• Use extreme care if emergency repairs must be made in adverse conditions.
• Do not wear clothing which is contaminated by lubricating oil. Do not put material
which is contaminated with oil into the pockets of clothing.
2-7 VITON SEALS

Viton is used by many manufacturers and is a safe material under normal conditions of operation. Some
seals used in the engine and in components fitted to the engine are made of Viton.
If Viton is burned, a product of this burnt material is an acid which is extremely dangerous.
Never allow this burnt material to come into contact with the skin or with the eyes. If it is

P/N 24933-001
necessary to come into contact with components which have been burnt, ensure that the
precautions which follow are used:
• Ensure that the components have cooled.
• Use neoprene gloves and discard the gloves safely after use.
• Wash the area with calcium hydroxide solution and then with clean water.
• Disposal of components and gloves which are contaminated must be in
accordance with local regulations.
If there is contamination of the skin or eyes, wash the affected area with a continuous supply of
clean water or with calcium hydroxide solution for 15-60 minutes. Obtain immediate medical
attention.
2-8 USING COMPRESSED AIR SAFELY
• Always wear goggles, face shield, or other eye protection when using
compressed air to clean equipment.
• Do not allow compressed air to contact your skin. If compressed air enters your
skin, obtain medical help immediately.
• Do not use compressed air to clean dust and dirt from clothing.
• Ensure that the nozzle is equipped with a chip guard.
• Never use compressed air that exceeds 30 psi.
• Hoses should not be strung across floors or aisles where they are liable to
cause a trip hazard. When possible, air supply hoses should be suspended
overhead.
• Hose ends must be secured to prevent whipping if an accidental cut or break
occurs.
• Never point pneumatic tools at a person.
• Do not use compressed air to dry roller bearings. The air can cause the bearing
to rotate at an extremely high speed and disintegrate.
• Turn off the air supply before disconnecting a pneumatic tool (unless equipped
with a quick-disconnect coupling).
2-9 BATTERY HANDLING AND MAINTENANCE
• If contact with battery acid occurs, administer the following first aid treatment to
self or others:
– External contact – Flush with water.

P/N 24933-001
– Eyes – Flush with water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention
immediately.
– Internal contact – Drink large quantities of water. Follow with Milk of
Magnesia, beaten egg, or vegetable oil. Get medical attention immediately.
– IMPORTANT – In case of internal contact, DO NOT give fluids that induce
vomiting.
• Disconnect the battery terminals before a repair is made to the electrical
system.
• Lead-acid batteries produce flammable and potentially explosive gases. To
avoid injury or death when checking, testing, or charging batteries:
– DO NOT use smoking materials near batteries.
– Keep arcs, sparks, and open flames away from batteries.
– Provide ventilation for flammable vapors.
– Wear proper personal protective equipment, including safety glasses.
• Fluid in electric storage batteries contains sulfuric acid which is a poison that
can cause severe chemical burns. Avoid all contact of fluid with eyes, skin, or
clothing. Use protective gear when handling batteries.
• DO NOT tip a battery beyond a 45° angle in any direction.
• Wear eye protection when starting a forklift with jump start cables. Improper
jump start procedures can cause the battery to explode.
• Do not allow sparks or fire near the batteries (especially when the batteries are
on charge) because the gases from the electrolyte are highly flammable. The
battery fluid is dangerous to the skin and especially to the eyes.
• NEVER jump start a frozen battery, as it can explode. Let the battery thaw out
before charging.
• NEVER jump start the forklift directly at the starter solenoid. This could cause
the forklift to lurch forward or backward, resulting in injury or death.
• To avoid injury or death when jump starting with another vehicle, ensure the
two vehicles are not touching.

Use caution when loading grease into the gun to ensure that contaminants are not
introduced into the grease. If using a cartridge, be careful when removing the
metal lid to prevent metal slivers from being introduced into the grease.
1. Load grease gun with extreme pressure, NLGI #2 grease.
Dirt and other contaminants in the grease can cause premature failure of the
bearing. Ensure that grease fitting and grease gun nozzle are clean.
2. Clean dispensing nozzle of grease gun with clean cloth.

3. Pump small amount of grease out of dispensing nozzle to ensure that fresh, clean grease will be
used.
4. Clean grease fitting with clean cloth.
5. Inspect fitting for damage. Replace as necessary. Torque grease fitting to correct value.

P/N 24933-001
6. Attach grease gun dispensing nozzle to grease fitting.
A high-pressure grease gun delivers pressure up to 15,000 psi. The maximum

pressure rating for forklift grease seals is 500 psi. Excessive applied pressure can
damage the seal and lead to early failure.
NOTE: If back pressure is felt immediately when attempting to pump grease into the
grease fitting, the fitting may be defective or the grease port and/or path may blocked.
7. Pump grease in front and rear axle cylinder and outrigger fittings until back-pressure is felt at grease
gun lever, then stop pumping.
8. Start engine and operate forklift system or subsystem for several minutes. Shut-off engine, then re-
grease fittings.

8-2 HYDRAULICS MAINTENANCE SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS
• Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin, causing death
or extremely serious injury. Amputation of hands and arms is often necessary
to prevent death. Relieve hydraulic pressure before removing and installing any
hydraulic system component.
• DO NOT use your hand or any part of your body to check for hydraulic leaks.
When checking for hydraulic leaks, wear safety glasses and gloves to help
provide protection from spraying hydraulic fluid. Use a piece of cardboard or
paper to search for leaks.
• Hot hydraulic fluid can cause severe burns. Wait for hydraulic fluid to cool
before performing maintenance on any hydraulic component.

P/N 24933-001
Hydraulic System
• Spilled hydraulic fluid is a combustible and slip hazard material that requires
immediate containment and cleaning. Failure to identify the spill, alert nearby
personnel, and clean the spilled fluid may result in death or serious personal
injury, and damage to equipment and facilities.
Very minute foreign particles, as small as 10 microns, can adversely affect

operation of the hydraulic systems. (One micron equals one millionth of a meter.)
Use extreme caution to prevent dirt, debris, and other contaminants from entering
the hydraulic system.
8-3 HANDLING HYDRAULIC FLUID

The following general precautions must be observed when handling hydraulic fluid:
• NEVER allow different categories of hydraulic fluids to become mixed. Chemical reactions
may occur; fire resistant fluids may lose their fire resistance; and seals may be damaged.
• NEVER, under any circumstances, service the forklift with a fluid other than Dexron III (AW46
for older units with clear fluid).
• ENSURE that hydraulic fluid and fluid containers are protected from contamination of any kind.
Dirt particles may cause hydraulic components to become inoperative, cause seal damage,
etc. If there is any question regarding the cleanliness of the fluid, DO NOT use it. Containers
for hydraulic fluid must never be left open to air longer than necessary.
• DO NOT expose hydraulic fluid to high temperature or open flames. Mineral-based fluids, such
as Dexron III, are highly flammable.
8-4 MAKING LEAK-FREE CONNECTIONS

Some leakage in a hydraulic system is unavoidable. An example of this type of leakage would be the
slight amount of fluid found on cylinder rods. However, any leakage reduces efficiency and causes power
loss. Factors that contribute to leakage are:
• Hose and tubing installation practices.
• Operating conditions.
• Maintenance practices.
8-4-1 HOSE AND TUBING INSTALLATION PRACTICES

Installing hoses and tubing according to Xtreme Manufacturing maintenance instructions (Figure 8-1) will
promote long life of external seals. Vibration or stresses that result from improper installation can shake
loose connections. Avoid pinching, cocking, or incorrectly installing seals during hydraulic component
installation.
8-4-2 OPERATING CONDITIONS

To ensure correct seal life, the operating conditions of the forklift must be controlled. A shaft seal or
piston-rod seal exposed to moisture, salt, dirt, or any other abrasive contaminant will adversely affect a
seal. Also, operators should always try to keep their loads within the recommended limits to prevent
leakage caused by excessive pressures.

P/N 24933-001
Hydraulic System
8-4-3 MAINTENANCE PRACTICES

Regular filter and hydraulic fluid changes, using high-quality Dexron III hydraulic fluid, adds to seal life.
Using an inferior fluid will cause wear on seals and interfere with desirable hydraulic fluid properties.
Proper maintenance prevents introduction of contaminants that can damage seals. Never use additives
without approval from Xtreme Manufacturing. Manufacturers recommend soaking seals overnight in
hydraulic fluid before installation. Do not install seals dry. Before installation, always coat seals with clean
hydraulic fluid.
Figure 8-1. Making Leak-Free Connections

P/N 24933-001
Hydraulic System
8-5 KEEPING THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM CLEAN

The hydraulic system has been carefully designed to keep the hydraulic fluid free of contaminants. See
Figure 8-2 for a schematic diagram of the hydraulic filtration system. The filtration system is comprised of
the following components:
• Air breather (10 µM absolute).
• Suction strainer (200 µM).
• High-pressure filter (10 µM absolute).
• Return line filter (10 µM absolute).
Note that one micron (1 µM) is equal to one-millionth of a meter. Regardless of how thoroughly the
system filters the fluid, it can easily be defeated by poor maintenance practices. To keep the hydraulic
system free of contamination, it is essential that the following maintenance practices be followed:
• Clean exterior surfaces of dust, dirt, hydraulic fluid, etc. before removing covers.
• Ensure that new parts are clean before installation.
• Keep parts protected prior to assembly or installation.
• Protect system openings. Use covers, tape, plastic wrap, etc. to cover the openings.
• Keep fluid transfer containers, funnels, nozzles, etc. clean.

8-20 MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS FOR FAILED PUMP

If the hydraulic pump should fail, the hydraulic fluid will very likely be contaminated with metal particles
and other types of contaminants. In addition to replacing the pump, the following maintenance actions
should be taken:
• Drain the reservoir.
• Clean or replace the hydraulic reservoir strainer.
• Fill the reservoir with clean, filtered hydraulic fluid.
• Replace the high-pressure filter.
• Replace the return line filter.
• Operate all hydraulic systems through ten cycles of operation.
• If any subsystem fails or has degraded performance, the components of that system should be
removed from the forklift, disassembled, and thoroughly cleaned.
• Remove the return line filter. Inspect the filter and hydraulic fluid for contamination.
If the hydraulic fluid is still contaminated, perform the following maintenance actions:
• Drain the reservoir.
• Clean or replace the hydraulic reservoir strainer.
• Fill the reservoir with clean, filtered hydraulic fluid.
• Replace the high-pressure filter.
• Replace the return line filter.
• Operate all hydraulic systems through ten cycles of operation.
• If any subsystem fails or has degraded performance, the components of that system should be
removed from the forklift, disassembled, and thoroughly cleaned.
• Take a sample of the hydraulic fluid and have it analyzed. Perform additional maintenance per
recommendations provided in the hydraulic fluid analysis report.

9-2 BATTERY SAFETY
• If contact with battery acid occurs, administer the following first aid treatment to
self or others:
– External contact – Flush with water.
– Eyes – Flush with water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention
immediately.
– Internal contact – Drink large quantities of water. Follow with Milk of
Magnesia, beaten egg, or vegetable oil. Get medical attention
immediately.
– IMPORTANT – In case of internal contact, DO NOT give fluids that
induce vomiting.
• Disconnect the battery terminals before a repair is made to the electrical system.

P/N 24933-001
Electrical System
• Lead-acid batteries produce flammable and potentially explosive gases. To avoid

injury or death when checking, testing, or charging batteries:
– DO NOT use smoking materials near batteries.
– Keep arcs, sparks, and open flames away from batteries.
– Provide ventilation for flammable vapors.
– Wear proper personal protective equipment, including safety glasses.
• Fluid in electric storage batteries contains sulfuric acid which is a poison that
can cause severe chemical burns. Avoid all contact of fluid with eyes, skin, or
clothing. Use protective gear when handling batteries.
• DO NOT tip a battery beyond a 45° angle in any direction.
• Wear eye protection when starting a vehicle with jump start cables. Improper
jump start procedures can cause the battery to explode.
• Do not allow sparks or fire near the batteries (especially when the batteries are
on charge) because the gases from the electrolyte are highly flammable. The
battery fluid is dangerous to the skin and especially to the eyes.
• NEVER jump start a frozen battery, as it can explode. Let the battery thaw out
before charging.
• NEVER jump start the forklift directly at the starter solenoid. This could cause
the vehicle to lurch forward or backward, resulting in injury or death.
• To avoid injury or death when jump starting with another vehicle, ensure the two
vehicles are not touching.
• DO NOT allow jump start cable ends to contact each other near the battery.
• Connect charged battery positive (+) to stalled battery positive (+).
• Connect charged battery negative (–) to stalled vehicle ground. Make the
connection to the stalled vehicle ground LAST.
• Connect jump start cable to stalled vehicle ground a safe distance from the
battery to PREVENT sparks near the battery.
• Jump start only with a power source with the same voltage as the stalled forklift.
• Jump start power source must have a negative-ground electrical system.
• Electrolyte is an acid and cause injury if it contacts the skin or eyes.

9-3 BATTERY DESCRIPTION

The forklift's initial source of electricity is the 12-volt battery. The primary function of the battery is to start
the engine. Once the engine is running, the alternator takes over to supply the forklift's electrical
requirements and to charge the battery.
The battery consists of layers of positively and negatively charged lead plates that, together with their
insulated separators, make up each of six, two-volt cells. The cells are filled with an electricity-conducting
liquid (electrolyte). The electrolyte contains approximately two-thirds distilled water and one-third sulfuric
acid. Spaces between the immersed plates provide the most exposure to the electrolyte. The interaction
of the plates and the electrolyte produces chemical energy that becomes electricity when a circuit is
formed between the negative and positive battery terminals.
9-4 BATTERY CABLE DESCRIPTION

The battery cables connect the battery to the starting and charging circuits. Because of the heavy current
flow through the cables, the cables are fabricated from size 1 AWG cable. The red cable is connected to
the positive terminal of the battery and the black lead is connected to the negative terminal.
Because of the cable's close proximity to the battery it is extremely important to periodically inspect and
clean the cables, clamps, and battery posts. Vapors from battery acid causes corrosion to form on the
lead surfaces and copper wiring associated with the battery wires. A loose or corroded connection will
cause a significant voltage drop. This voltage drop will cause the starter motor to turn slowly or not at all.

10-5 INSPECT BOOM CHAINS
OPERATION
Chain failure can be caused by worn pins, cracked links, corrosion, worn link
plates, or chain elongation (stretching). Chain failure can result in:
• Erratic, uncontrolled boom movement and loss of load.
• Vehicle instability and tip over.
• Death, serious injury, and/or property damage.
The comprehensive chain inspection consists of the following tasks:

• A thorough visual inspection.

P/N 24933-001
Boom & Attachments
• Measuring the amount of wear on the edge of a chain link plate.

• Measuring the amount of elongation (stretch) of a 12-inch sample of chain.
NOTE: Because of boom construction, access to the retract chain is very limited. The
chain must be inspected by a mechanic through a small inspection opening in the bottom
of the boom while another mechanic very slowly extends and retracts the boom. Because
of these limitations, it will not be possible to inspect for all the defects listed below. Note
however, that the retract chain is very well protected from the environment and that it
performs much less work than the extend chain.

procedure.
NOTE: Fork calipers are calibrated by first measuring the fork shank thickness. On a
new fork, the shank and the flank are the same thickness. The fork flank is subject to
continuous wear during normal forklift operation. Therefore, comparing the thickness of
the flank to the thickness of the shank is an accurate method for gauging flank wear.
NOTE: In accordance with ASME B56.1, forks must be removed from service if flank
wear is equal to or greater than 10 percent. A 10 percent reduction in flank thickness
reduces load-carrying capacity by 20 percent.
MEASURING FLANK WEAR
1. To calibrate calipers, measure shank (View A) thickness. Set top jaws of caliper by measuring the
thickness of the shank. Ensure that the caliper is held square across the shank for an accurate
reading. The caliper is now set to measure the fork blade.
2. To check flank thickness, position the bottom jaws of the caliper over the flanks of the fork.
3. If inside jaws of caliper hit fork (View B), the fork has less than 10% wear and can remain in service.
4. If inside jaws of caliper pass over the fork arm (View C), fork must be taken out of service.

10-13 FORK INSPECTION
OPERATION
The following information (in italics) is reprinted from ASME/ANSI B56.1-2000, Inspection and Repair of
Forks in Service on Fork Lift Trucks.
6.2.8 INSPECTION AND REPAIR OF FORKS IN SERVICE ON FORK LIFT TRUCKS

(a) Forks in use shall be inspected at intervals of not more than 12 months (for single
shift operations) or whenever any defect or permanent deformation is detected.
Several applications will require more frequent inspection.
(b) Individual and Load Rating of Forks. When forks are used in pairs (the normal
arrangement), the rated capacity of each fork shall be at least half of the
manufacturer’s rated capacity of the truck, and at the rated load center distance
shown on the lift truck nameplate.
6.2.8.1 INSPECTION
Fork inspections shall be carried out carefully by trained personnel with the aim of detecting
any damage, failure, deformation, etc., which might impair safe use. Any fork which shows
such a defect shall be withdrawn from service, and shall not be returned to service unless it
has been satisfactorily repaired in accordance with Para. 6.2.8.2.
(a) Surface Cracks. The fork shall be thoroughly examined visually for cracks and if
considered necessary, subjected to a non-destructive crack detection process,
special attention being paid to the heel and welds attaching all mounting components
to the fork blank. This inspection for cracks must also include any special mounting
mechanisms of the fork blank to the fork carrier including bolt type mountings and
forged upper mounting arrangements for hook or shaft type carriages. The forks shall
not be returned to service if surface cracks are detected.
(b) Straightness of Blade and Shank. The straightness of the upper face of the blade
and the front face of the shank shall be checked. If the deviation from straightness
exceeds 0.5% of the length of the blade and/or the height of the shank, respectively,
the fork shall not be returned to service until it has been repaired in accordance with
Para. 6.2.8.2.
(c) Fork Angle (Upper Face of Blade to Load of the Shank). Any fork that has a
deviation of greater than 3 deg. from the original specification shall not be returned to
service. The rejected fork shall be reset and tested in accordance with Para. 6.2.8.2.
(d) Difference in Height of Fork Tips. The difference in height of one set of forks when
mounted on the fork carrier shall be checked. If the difference in tip heights exceeds
3% of the length of the blade, the set of forks shall not be returned to service until
repaired in accordance with Para. 6.2.8.2
(e) Positioning Lock (Where Originally Provided). It shall be confirmed that the
positioning lock is in good repair and correct working order. If any fault is found, the
fork shall be withdrawn from service until satisfactory repair has been effected.
(f) Wear

P/N 24933-001
Boom & Attachments
(1) Fork Blade and Shank. The fork blade and shank shall be thoroughly checked
for wear, special attention being paid to the vicinity of the heel. If the thickness is
reduced to 90% of the original thickness, the fork shall not be returned to service.
(2) Fork Hooks (Where Originally Provided). The support face of the top hook and
the retaining faces of both hooks shall be checked for wear, crushing, and other
local deformations. If these are apparent to such an extent that the clearance
between the fork and the fork carrier becomes excessive, the fork shall not be
returned to service until repaired in accordance with Para. 6.2.8.2.
(g) Legibility of Marking (When Originally Provided). If the fork marking in
accordance with Para. 7.25.2 is not clearly legible, it shall be renewed. Marking
shall be renewed per instructions from original supplier.
6.2.8.2 REPAIR AND TESTING
(a) Repair. Only the manufacturer of the fork or an expert of equal competence shall
decide if a fork may be repaired for continual use, and the repairs shall only be
carried out by such parties. It is not recommended that surface cracks or wear be
repaired by welding. When repairs necessitating resetting are required, the fork shall
subsequently be subjected to an appropriate heat treatment, as necessary.
10-14 MANUALLY RETRACT AND LOWER BOOM

A hydraulic system or engine malfunction may make retracting and lowering the boom impossible. In this
situation, the boom can be retracted and lowered by opening manual lowering valves located on the
extend cylinder valve block and the left and right boom lift cylinder valve blocks (Figure 10-13). Note that
the boom must be above horizontal to accomplish retraction and lowering. Gravity supplies the power
required to retract and lower the boom.
Perform the following procedure to manually retract and lower the boom:

DO NOT get under a raised boom unless the boom is blocked up.

P/N 24933-001
Boom & Attachments
RETRACT BOOM
1. Remove four screws and washers from boom access panel (Figure 10-13, Sheet 1).
2. Remove boom access panel.
3. Loosen locknut on extend cylinder manual lowering valve (Figure 10-13, Sheet 2).
4. Turn extend cylinder manual lowering valve adjustment screw counter-clockwise (CCW) until boom
starts to retract. Continue turning adjustment screw until a safe retraction speed is achieved.
Failure to turn the manual lowering valve adjustment screw clockwise and
tightening the locknut may cause the boom to bleed out.
5. After boom has retracted, turn extend cylinder manual lowering valve adjustment screw fully clockwise
(CW) and tighten locknut.
6. Attach boom access panel to boom with four screws and washers.
LOWER BOOM
A possible left or right cylinder failure may cause the boom to lower unexpectedly
when the manual lowering valve adjustment screw is turned fully counter-
clockwise.
1. Turn manual lowering valve adjustment screw on left boom lift cylinder fully counterclockwise
(approximately five turns).
2. Turn the manual lowering valve adjustment screw on right boom lift cylinder counterclockwise until
boom starts to lower. The speed at which boom lowers can be controlled by turning adjustment screw
clockwise or counterclockwise.
3. After boom has been lowered, close left and right manual lowering valves by turning adjustment
screws in fully clockwise. (With valves closed, boom will operate normally when original hydraulic
system or engine malfunction has been repaired.)
