cracks or unusual wear.

check that the casters and wheels roll
smoothly, free of hesitation and binding.

Inspect the Mast Assembly
for Wear
Detection of excessive or unusual wear in the
mast assembly is essential for safe machine
operation. An unsafe working condition exists if
the mast assembly has excessive wear and/or
does not operate smoothly, free of hesitation and
binding.
1 Attach an overhead crane or similar lifting
device to the lifting bracket on the mast.
2 Lift the machine slightly and then guide it over
onto the ground, so that the machine is laying
on the loading wheels.

3 Visually inspect the top of each column for
clearance between the roller wheel and the
adjacent column surface.
Result: There should be a maximum gap of
0.062 inches (1.57 mm) between the roller
wheel and the column.
