Tilt Cylinder Alignment
If the tilt cylinders are out of alignment, extra
stresses in the mast assembly and the mast hinge
area will result. To prevent damage, the tilt
cylinders must stop evenly at the end of the tilt back
and tilt forward strokes.
Tilt Angle Check
Tilt Angle Check (Typical Example)
The tilt angle of the mast must be checked in the
full tilt back and full tilt forward positions. A tilt
indicator or a protractor can be used to measure the
angle. Both sides of the mast must be checked to
make sure that the mast is not twisted.
The tilt angle is determined by the tilt cylinders used.
See tilt cylinders in specifications to determine the
tilt angle from the cylinder being used.
