Tilt Cylinder Alignment

If the tilt cylinders are out of alignment, extra stress-

es 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.

Tilt Cylinder Length Check

1. Tilt the mast to full forward position. Measure the

extended length of the cylinder rods from the cylin-

der housing to the mast. The difference of length

between the two cylinder rods must be within 3.18

mm (.125 in) of each other.

Tilt Cylinders With Tilt Back Limiting Group

Tilt Cylinder Adjustment

(1) Pivot eye. (2) Bolt. (3) Rod. (4) Shims. (5) Spacer.

(6) Head.

1. With the mast at full forward tilt, loosen bolt (2).

2. Slide spacer (5) back so rod (3) can be turned into

or out of pivot eye (1) to obtain the correct length

or angle.
