NOTE
To perform these service procedures, it is recommended
that you first:
Park truck on a hard, level, and solid
surface, such as a concrete floor with no
gaps or breaks.
Put upright in vertical position and fully
lower the forks or attachment.
Put all controls in neutral. Turn key switch
OFF.
Apply the parking brake.
Raising Drive Wheels Off Floor
This procedure uses the upright as a lever to lift the drive
wheels off the floor and prevent accidents due to
inadvertent powering of the drive wheels.
1. Park truck safely.
2. Be sure upright trunnion bolts are tight.
3. Start the engine. Tilt the upright fully back. Adjust
upright height as necessary to put blocking
underneath.
4. Put a solid 4x4 inch hardwood block under the
front section of each upright rail. Put a .125-.250
inch thickness steel plate on top of each block.
5. Tilt upright fully forward. This action should
raise the drive wheels off the floor. Release the
tilt control lever and turn engine OFF.
6. Check for safe clearance between drive wheels
and floor and blocks.
7. Check for stable condition of the truck. Be
sure that the blocks are located securely under
the upright rails before operating the drive or
working on truck.
8. Lower the drive wheels to the floor and remove
the blocks by reversing the above procedure.
Blocking The Upright In Raised Position
This procedure is used to safely provide clearance for
access from the front of truck to components on or near
the drive axle.
