2.2 Torque Converter
The torque converter is mainly composed of the pump impeller connected onto the input shaft, the
turbine connected onto the output shaft, and the guide wheel mounted on the torque converter housing.
The pump impeller is driven by input shaft, and the oil flows onto the blade of turbine along the blade of
pump impeller at high RPM (mechanical energy transformed into kinetic energy) under the action of
centrifugal force, for torque to be transmitted to output shaft. The oil leaving turbine changes direction
under the effect of guide wheel, thus one part of oil begins to reduce according to the change in angle of
liquid flow, while the torque of output shaft is reduced. Finally, the liquid flows into the blades of guide
pulley in a reverse direction, for the original reactive torque to act reversely. On this account, the torque
of output shaft is smaller than that of the input shaft. To prevent such situation, the overrunning clutch
mounted inside the guide pulley allows the guide pulley to be able for free rotation, when reactive torque
acts reversely.
When input torque and output torque are equivalent to each other, it is only able to ensure a high-speed
stable operation of the forklift truck. As the torque of transmission case is converted in mechanical way,
the torque converter in this form is called the 2-phase type.
The part of the torque converter for the transmission device is connected with the flywheel of engine
through elastic plate, and turns along with the rotation of engine, with oil for torque converter to be
filled up inside the torque converter. The driving gear is connected with pump impeller using spline, to
actuate charging pump, to feed the oil to the torque converter and the hydraulic shifting transmission
case. The turbine is connected onto the turbine shaft using spline, and the power is transmitted to power
gear-shift transmission case through turbine shaft.

2.3 Hydraulic Clutch Unit

The wet multiple disc hydraulic clutch achieves forward/backward gear shift, through forward and

backward clutches. Each unit of clutch contains 6 friction plates and 6 steel plates alternately assembled,

as well as one piston and one end plate. Both inner and outer rings of piston are fitted with seal rings, to

ensure the seal of piston during work. One test ball is also available on the piston to prevent self

movement.

The surface of clutch and the bushing of gear shall be frequently lubricated, to prevent them from being

blocked. When any friction plate is replaced, the mated steel plate shall also be replaced along with.

2.4 Control Valve

The control valve is mainly comprised of reversing valve, adjusting valve, energy accumulator, and

inching valve. The energy accumulator connected with reversing valve moves under the action of

reversing valve lever.

The oil pumped out from the gear oil pump flows into the control valve, and its pressure is adjusted to

the specified pressure (12~15kg/cm2) , while the flow is adjusted by pore plate.

When reversing lever is pushed forward or backward, the adjusted pressure oil is sent to forward or

backward clutch under the action of reversing valve, and at this point, the energy accumulator moves

pushed by part of the oil, thus the vibration aroused by clutch engagement is relieved.

4-5t Internal Combustion Counterbalance Forklift Truck
Operation & Maintenance Manual
2.5 Hydraulic Oil Circuit

After engine is started, the pump driving gear mounted on pump impeller hub drives the oil pump, and

the charging pump sucks out oil from oil tank (namely the transmission oil pan) through oil filter, to

flow through the main adjusting valve and the control valve under the action of pressure. The oil

required for operation of hydraulic clutch may be adjusted to proper pressure through main adjusting

valve.

The flow of oil flowing to control valve is controlled by pore plate, and the oil can be adjusted to proper

pressure through main adjusting valve.

When gear-shift lever is pushed forward or backward, one channel of oil from the control valve flows to

the supercharging cavity of forward/backward clutch through reversing valve, while another channel of

oil from the control valve flows into the energy accumulator, to ensure that a stable pressure will be

formed for oil pressure of clutch.

The pressure of oil flowing to the main adjusting valve is adjusted to 5~7kg/cm2 by internal overflow

valve, and the oil flows to the torque converter. The oil flowing out through external overflow valve

flows to oil cooler, to be cooled down before it returns to oil tank.

When forward or backward clutch is acting, the other clutch keeps racing between the friction plate and

the spacer, and is lubricated by the oil from the oil cooler.

When inching pedal is pushed down, most oil flows to clutch from inching valve, and then enters into

the transmission oil pan.

2.6 Charging Pump
Gear charging pump is installed inside the torque converter housing, and it is responsible for supplying
oil to torque converter, hydraulic clutch, and transmission case, for them to be lubricated. The charging
pump mainly consists of driving gear, driven gear, pump body, and pressure plate.

Fig 2.6 Charging pump


2.7 Differential
The differential is mounted on the differential case using bearing seat through ball bearings on both ends,
and the differential case can be connected with axle housing.
The case support for differential is in a left-right symmetrical type, fitted with two half shaft gears and
four planetary gears, and thrust washer is mounted between the case body of differential and the gear,
with clearances retained between respective gears.
The planetary gear is supported with gear shaft, and the gear shaft is fixed onto the differential case
using cylindrical pin, while the gear ring is fastened onto the differential case using hinged bolt.
Power passes through transmission case, for differential to generate differential speed, and the driving
half shaft enables wheels to turn.
2.8 Maintenance of Differential
The procedure for reassembling differential is contrary to that for disassembly, but attention must be
paid to the several points as follows:
(1) Adjust the clearance between half-shaft gear and planetary gear to 0.23~0.33mm, and the clearance
can be adjusted by replacing the washer on the side face of half-shaft gear. Washers of the same
thickness shall be used on both sides during replacement. Washer thicknesses: 1.8, 1.9, 2.0, 2.2, and
2.6mm.

3.2 Axle Housing
The axle housing is an integrated cast structure, fixed on truck frame with differential and half shaft,
through bushing cap.
3.3 Front Wheel Hub
Power is passed through the differential, for half shaft to transmit to the front wheel hub, and the wheel
hub drives the tyre to run. The brake drum and the wheel hub are fixed on the front wheel hub using
bolts and nuts for wheel hub. The wheel hub is connected with the axle housing through two tapered
roller bearings, while the brake is fixed on the axle housing, and embedded inside the brake drum.
The wheel hub and the axle housing bear the weight of front axle for the forklift truck, thus, the half
shaft only bears torque while not subject to torque conversion, called full-floating type.
Inner and outer oil seals are available inside the wheel hub, to prevent oil leak.

4.3 Wheel Brake Drum (Fig 4.2)
The wheel bake drum is of internal expanding and hydraulic type, and it is composed of brake shoe,
spring, wheel cylinder, regulator, and bottom plate, with two brakes respectively located on the two ends
of the front axle. One end of the brake shoe is connected with the support pin, and the other end is
connected with clearance regulator, borne down on the bottom plate by spring and pressure spring rod.
Handbrake rod is mounted on the primary brake shoe, while the adjusting rod for automatic clearance
regulators is installed on the secondary brake shoe.
The action of forward brake is indicated as in Fig 4.3, and through operating brake wheel cylinder, the
primary brake shoe and the secondary brake shoe are respectively effected by two forces of the same
degree but in reverse directions, for friction plate and brake drum to get into touch with each other. The
primary shoe bears down on the regulator by virtue of frictional force between friction plate and brake
drum, and thereby the clearance regulator generates a larger force than that when the wheel cylinder is
originally operated to push the secondary brake shoe, to force the upper end of the secondary brake shoe
to bear down on the support pin with a strong force, thus to get relatively large braking force. The action
of reversing brake is shown as in Fig 4.4. The braking action during backward movement is taken in a
reverse direction, but the braking force is the same as that for forward movement.

4.4 Parking Brake

The parking brake includes parking brake handle and brake cable, as indicated in Fig 4-5, and it shares

the brake shoe and the brake drum with foot brake. The brake handle is of elbow type, thus for regulator

to facilitate the adjustment of braking force at the top of handle.

Fig 4.5 Parking Brake

4.5 Clearance Automatic Regulator

The clearance automatic regulator enables the clearance between friction plate and brake drum to be

automatically maintained between 0.4~0.6 mm, but this regulator will only act during reverse brake.

During backward movement, the brake shoe will disengaged once the brake pedal is pushed down, and

thereby the secondary brake shoe and the primary brake shoe get into contact with brake drum and turn

together, until the upper end of primary brake shoe begins getting into contact with the support pin.

Meanwhile, when secondary brake shoe leaves the support pin, the Part A of adjusting lever is relatively

pulled, thus for the adjusting lever to rotate around the Part B, so as to drop the Part C. The Part D of the

regulator takes left-hand rotation, to achieve the purpose for automatic adjustment. When brake shoe is

further pushed down, the pressure applied to the both ends of regulator will turn to be higher, thus to

increase the resistance to thread rotation, so that the force of adjusting lever is unable for Part D to

rotate.

4.6 Brake Valve

The power brake valve includes brake valve, brake master cylinder, and bypass valve. The function of

control valve is to transform the pedal pressure into hydraulic pressure, as indicated in Fig 4.6, and then

the power brake is fulfilled by hydraulic oil.

When brake pedal is pushed down, the stroke of pedal is transmitted to the input piston of control valve

by push rod, and then the place “A” turns to be narrow and the oil pressure in the place “B” rises, to

push the piston to move leftwards. At the same time when the place “A” is opened and the oil pressure

in the place “B” stops going up, the input piston will stop movement as well.

The moving brake master cylinder piston of input piston allows hydraulic oil to flow into the brake

wheel cylinder, to fulfill the braking function.

The pressure in the place “B” gives piston a reactive force, and thus the driver can feel a feedback force.

5.1Overview
The steering system main consists of steering wheel, full hydraulic steering unit, adjusting valve,
cross-setting cyliner steering axle, steering axle cylinder, and pipeline, etc. The steering wheel can be
adjusted forward and backward according to different drivers. When steering wheel turns, the movement
is transmitted to full hydraulic steering unit, and the full hydraulic steering unit is able transmit the
pressure oil from bypass valve in a measuring way according to the size of angle for rotation of steering
wheel to the steering cylinder through pipeline. When engine is flamed out, oil pump cannot supply oil,
while manual steering is still achievable, but it is relatively tiresome.
The steering cylinder is of a double-action through type. The two ends of piston rod are connected with
steering knuckle through connecting rod, and the pressure oil from the full hydraulic steering unit
enables the leftward/rightward movement of the piston rod, thus to achieve the left-hand/right-hand
turning.
5.2 Cross-setting Cyliner Steering Axle
The cross-setting cyliner steering axle is in a box section welded structure, in which one steering
cylinder is installed, as indicated in Fig 5-1. The steering cylinder is embedded inside the axle housing,
able to effectively prevent injury aroused by ground barriers. The steering axle is mounted on the truck
frame through shaft sleeve and shaft cover used for king pin, able to swing around the center pin.

5.3 Steering Device

The structure of steering device is indicated as in Fig 5.2. The full hydraulic steering unit is located on

the lower end of the steering wheel assembly, and the center of the steering wheel is the horn button. The

steering shaft passes through a universal joint and is connected onto the driving shaft of the full

hydraulic steering unit, and the steering wheel can be adjusted forward or backward according to the

demands of drivers.

Fig 5.2 Steering Device


5.4 Full Hydraulic Steering Unit
BZZ-model cycloid full-hydraulic steering unit is an open-center irresponsive full hydraulic steering
device, as indicated in Fig 5.3. The rotor and the stator are a pair of cycloidal internal meshing pin gears,
connected in series between bypass valve and steering cylinder through servo valve (playing the
function of measuring motor) during normal work (power steering). As oil both incoming and outgoing
through the steering cylinder must pass through the measuring motor, the turning angle and the flow and
the flow incoming and outgoing through steering cylinder are directly proportional. The steering wheel
is connected with valve core through Link Block 1, then to actuate Valve Sleeve 6 through Fixed Spring
4. The Valve Sleeve 6 is connected with Rotor 9 through Pin Shaft 5 and Connector 8. Rotor 9 remains
motionless, as oil circuit is obstructed. When steering wheel is turned, it is relatively turned between one
pair of rotary valves (valve core and valve sleeve) used for oil distribution. Such turning puts through
the oil circuit, for the oil from the pump to pass through oil motor to steering cylinder to perform
steering. When steering steel remains unturned, the valve core and the valve sleeve are located at center
position under the action of Fixed Spring 4, for oil circuit to be closed.
Under the condition when oil pump does not supply oil, the Safety Valve 14 is turned on under the effect
of vacuum, to form a loop inside the valve. At this point motor is equivalent to a hand pump, to press the
oil from one cavity of the steering cylinder into the other cavity, so as to achieve manual steering.

a. At the time when steering wheel remains unturned

When steering wheel remains unturned, the oil from oil pump flows through Oil Circuit (1) into Groove

(2). The valve sleeve has 24 Holes (3), with Hole (4) standing upright inside the slide valve. The oil

flows into the Groove (2), passes through the Holes (3) and Hole (4), flows into the gap between slide

valve and transmission shaft, and afterwards flows through the Slide Valve Groove (6) and Valve Sleeve

(7), and returns into oil tank.

Though the Cylinder Joints (20) and (21) are mutually through to the Oil Holes (18) and (17) inside the

valve sleeve, but they are not mutually through to the Grooves (16) and (19) inside the slide valve, and

the oil in the cylinder will not flow to any place.

The Oil Hole (14) inside the valve sleeve behind Channel (15) is mutually through, able to be used as

the oil inlet port for the hydraulic motor, but it does not lead to the Grooves (13) and (16) inside the slide

valve, thus the cylinder will remain still.

b. At the time when the steering wheel is rotating in counterclockwise direction

When steering wheel rotates in counterclockwise direction, the groove inside the slide valve will move

leftwards, to maintain consistent to the hole and the groove inside the valve sleeve, and then the Hole (4)

and the Hole (3) of the valve sleeve will be staggered. The oil will flow into Groove (2), flow into Hole

(12), flow through Groove (23) and Hole (13) inside the slide valve, Hole (14) of the valve sleeve, and

the Oil Circuit (15) inside the housing, and flow out from the steering unit.

When the steering unit runs in counterclockwise direction, the oil drained from the steering unit flows

through the Oil Hole (14) of the valve sleeve, the Groove (16) of the slide valve, and the Oil Hole (18)

of the valve sleeve, into the “L” tray in the cylinder, for steering cylinder to work.

The return oil from the steering cylinder, flows through the Point “R” of the cylinder, the Groove (11) of

the valve housing, the Oil Hole (17) inside the valve sleeve, the Groove (19) inside the slide valve, the

Oil Hole (22) inside the valve sleeve, and the Groove (8) inside the valve housing, and returns to the oil

tank.

c. At the time when steering wheel rotates in clockwise direction

When steering wheel rotates in clockwise direction, the groove inside the slide valve moves rightward,

to be through to the oil hole and the groove inside the valve sleeve, and then the Oil Hole (4) inside the

slide valve and the Oil Hole (8) inside the valve sleeve are staggered. The oil flows into Groove (2), the

Oil Hole (14) inside the valve sleeve, and the oil inside the valve sleeve flows out from the steering unit

through (15). The steering unit runs in clockwise direction, and the oil drained therefrom flows through

the Oil Hole (14) inside the valve sleeve, the Groove (16) inside the slide valve, and the Oil Hole (17)

inside the valve sleeve, into the Point “R” of cylinder, for the steering cylinder to work.

The oil returning from the steering cylinder, flows through the Point “L” of the cylinder, the Groove (10)

inside the housing, the Oil Hole (18) inside the valve sleeve, the Groove (19) inside the slide valve, the

Oil Hole (22) inside the valve sleeve, and the Groove (9) inside the housing, and returns to the oil tank.

(2) Relationship between Steering Wheel Running Speed and Operating Force

In principle, the force required for operating the full hydraulic steering unit is only a force to push the

reversing valve, and the force of compression center spring is 0.3kgm. In addition, though there is no

touch between steering wheel and tyre, the force of compression spring is really needed, for steering

force to be still maintained when rotating speed is increased. The displacement of steering unit is

280ml/r.

(1) Neutral Feedback of Full Hydraulic Steering Unit

The neutral feedback of full hydraulic steering unit is formed with oil circuit closed by the reactive force

of the fixed spring (when steering wheel stops turning, or when engine is flamed out, and the steering

wheel is released, the steering wheel returns to the initial position), while the steering wheel can rotate

only after the neutral feedback is formed, and otherwise, the operator is unable to turn the steering

wheel.

(4) When oil pump is unable to feed oil, the full hydraulic steering unit will serve as a manual pump,

able to achieve manual steering.

This machine uses dual-pump double-circuit hydraulic system (as in Fig 6.1), and the front and rear gear

pumps are driven by transmission case for the operating oil pump. One circuit of pressure oil enters into

brake valve through bypass valve, to meet the brake requirement, and at the same time is distributed to

the full hydraulic gear by brake valve, while the other circuit interflows into the multi-way valve. The

steering unit sends the pressure oil into the steering cylinder through oil pipe according to steering work

condition, and the milti-way valve controls the lifting cylinder and the tilting cylinder.

Fig 6.2 Bypass Valve

6.3 Multi-way Valve

This machine adopts CBD-F20D-model milti-way valve, and this valve is of a unit combination type,

able to be added with control valve block as per requirements. Its function is to distribute the HP oil

from oil pump to respective operating cylinders of the forklift truck, and for oil to flow back to the oil

tank. The flow direction is changed through control handle. The milti-way valve is indicated as in Fig

6.3.

This multi-way valve is in the cut type, and it is composed of three main parts including oil inlet port, oil

outlet port, and slide valve, with these three parts sub-assembled together using three bolts. A cylinder

main safety valve is available on the top of oil inlet port, used to adjust oil pressure in oil circuit.

The slide valve is used to control the lifting and tilting cylinders. It achieves the purpose for controlling

cylinders through control over lifting and tilting valve levers to change the oil flow.

Tilt auto-lock valve is mounted on the tilt slide valve, and the return oil from the cylinder returns to oil

tank through this valve. Each valve plate is sealed using R-ring, and at the same time, one one-way

valve is fitted in the oil circuit at the high pressure side.

(1) Operation of Multi-way Valve

a. Neutral Position (Fig 6.4)

The oil drained from the main pump returns to oil

tank through the neutral passage. At this point,

both Port A and Port B are in the closed status.

Fig 6.4

b. Push-in Slide Valve (Fig 6.5)

When slide valve is pushed in, the neutral passage is

in the close status, and the oil from the oil port

pushes open the one-way valve, and flows into

cylinder Port B, while the oil drained from cylinder

Port A returns to oil tank through LP oil passage. It is

able for slide valve to return to neutral position, by

virtue of return spring. Fig 6.5

Operation & Maintenance Manual
c. Pull-out Slide Valve (Fig 6.6)

When slide valve is pulled out, the neutral passage

is also under the closed status, and the oil

incoming from the oil inlet port pushes open the

one-way valve, and flows into the cylinder Port A,

while the return oil drained from the cylinder Port

B returns to oil tank through LP passage. It is able

for slide valve to return to neutral position, by virtue of return spring.


Fig 6.6

(2) Work of Main Safety Valve

a. The main safety valve is mounted between the HP

joint HP and the LP passage LP. The oil flowing

through the Valve Core C acts on the Valve Cores A

and B of different diameters, thus the Valve Core K

of one-way valve and the Valve Core D of the main

safety valve are both firmly fallen into the valve seat,

as indicated in Fig 6.7. Fig 6.7

b. When oil pressure in HP passage exceeds the

pressure adjusted by priority valve core and spring

force, the Priority Valve Core E is opened. The oil

passes through the holes around the valve core, and

then flows into the LP passage LP, as indicated in Fig

6.8.

Fig 6.8

c. When Priority Valve Core E is opened, the pressure

after the Valve Core D drops, and therefore the Valve

Core D moves rightwards, thus the oil circuit after

the Valve Core D is cut off, and thereby its internal

pressure drops, as indicated in Fig 6.9.

Fig 6.9

- - 47
4-5t Internal Combustion Counterbalance Forklift Truck
Operation & Maintenance Manual

d. When oil pressure of HP oil passage HP is lower


than the oil pressure of LP oil passage, as the area
difference of the two valve cores opens the Valve
Core D, thus the HP passage is directly through to
the LP passage, and oil can directly flow into the LP
oil passage LP, as indicted in Fig 6.10.
Fig 6.10

(3) Work of Tilt Auto-locking Valve


Tilt auto-locking valve is used to prevent the shake of
mast caused by possibly generated negative pressure
inside tilting cylinder, and at the same time it has
avoided the danger of mast tilt due to misoperation
when engine is flamed out, as indicated in Fig 6.11.
a. When slide valve is pulled out, oil flow status is
indicated as in Fig 6.5.
Fig 6.11
b. At the time when slide valve is pushed in
The oil from the main pump enters into tilting
cylinder through Oil Port B, and the return oil after
passing through Oil Port A, as indicated in Fig 6.12,
returns ultimately to the oil tank after entering into
the LP oil circuit through Holes A and B on the slide
valve.
Fig 6.12
c. Slide valve pushed in when engine is flamed out
When engine is flamed out, there is no output of
pressure oil, as oil pump is not working. So
pressure cannot be generated on the Section P, and
valve core does not act, there is no oil flow at Port
B, and return oil cannot return to oil tank through
Port A, thus the tilting cylinder is locked, as
indicated in Fig 6.13. Fig 6.13

6.4 Lifting Cylinder

Two single-acting lifting cylinders are fixed on the rear sides of the channel beams for the outer mast,

and the bottom of cylinder is fixed onto the bracket for lifting cylinder of outer mast using pins and bolts,

while the top of the cylinder (namely the top of the piston rod) is connected with the upper crossbeam of

inner mast.

The lifting cylinder assembly mainly consists of cylinder body, piston, piston rod, cylinder head, and

piston head. One pipe burst safety valve is mounted on the right side of cylinder body. The HP oil inlet

port is located in the lower part, while return oil port connected with return oil pipe is located in the

upper part of the cylinder, as indicated in Fig 6.14.

The piston is pushed by the piston rod with lock ring, and one support ring and one seal ring are

available on the surface of piston. This piston slides along the inner surface of cylinder body under the

action of HP oil.

Shaft sleeve and dustproof ring are fitted in the inner hole of cylinder head, and this shaft sleeve

supports the piston rod and the dustproof ring, able for the cylinder body to resist dust. The left and right

piston rods are connected on the upper end of inner mast on their top, and fastened with bolts. The

sprocket wheel is installed on the two ends in the upper part of inner mast.

When slide valve of multi-way valve is pulled backward, the HP oil enters through the bottom of lifting

cylinder, to push the piston and the piston rod, for cargo fork and inner mast to rise by virtue of lifting

chain. When lifting slide valve is pushed forward, the piston falls under the action of piston rod, carriage,

cargo fork, and cargo weight, so that the oil under the piston flows out from the bottom of cylinder. The

oil drained from the lifting cylinder is controlled by throttle vale, and returns to oil tank through

multi-way valve. Hydraulic oil in the oil tank is sucked into the upper part of the cylinder, to lubricate

the piston rod.

One pipe burst safety valve is available at the bottom of lifting cylinder, to prevent abrupt drop of cargo,

when HP rubber hose is suddenly cracked. The oil from the lifting cylinder allows a pressure difference

to be generated for the two cavities through the oil holes around the slide valve of pipe burst safety valve,

and the slide valve remains still when is pressure difference is smaller than the spring force. If HP rubber

hose is cracked, a huge pressure difference is formed, for the slide valve to move and block up the oil

holes around it, while only a small quantity of oil is allowed to flow though the pores in the end part of

slide valve, for cargo fork to fall slowly.

6.5 Cut-off Valve

The limiting valve is mounted in the place of HP oil port at the bottom of lifting cylinder, to limit the

lowering speed when cargo fork is loaded with weight, and at the same time when the rubber hose

between the multi-way reversing vale and the lifting cylinder is cracked, the limiting valve can serve as

a safety device.

Its action is shown as in Fig 6.15. When slide valve of multi-way valve is at the “Falling” position, the

oil returning from the lifting cylinder flows into the Cavity C, then into the Cavity B, through oil holes

F.E.D.C, and further then pass through the Valve Core (7) and the Cavity A, into the lifting cylinder.

The Valve Core (7) moves rightwards under the push of oil in oil hole of Valve Core (7), for the Hole C

to turn narrow, so that the oil volume through the Hole C is reduced, thus to achieve the control over the

lowering speed of cargo fork. When slide valve of multi-way valve is at “Rising” position, the HP oil

from the multi-way valve passes through Cavity A and enters into Cavity B, and then flows through oil

holes C.D.E.F.G, into the listing cylinder.

6.6 Tilting Cylinder (Figure 6.16)

The tilting cylinder is of double-action type, mounted on the two sides of mast. Its piston rod end is

connected with mast, and the bottom of tilting cylinder is connected with truck frame using pins.

The tilting cylinder assembly mainly consists of cylinder body, cylinder head, piston, and piston rod.

Piston and piston rod are in welded structure, and one support ring and two seal rings are fitted on the

outer edge of piston, to move along the inner surface of the cylinder body under the action of hydraulic

oil.

Shaft sleeve is pressed and fitted in the inner hole of guide sleeve, with real ring and dustproof ring

loaded, able to prevent oil leak and dust. The shaft sleeve supports the piston rod, and is screwed onto

the cylinder body together with O-ring.

When tilt slide valve is pushed forward, the high pressure oil enters from the front end of cylinder body,

to push backward the piston, until the mast tips back by 12°.
