e . Lever Position Setting
Adjustment of Position Control Lever
The position control lever can be adjusted with a little
load applied to the elevating arm.
1. Loosen the position control shaft (3), and lever tight-
ening bolt (4).
2. Using a 13 mm spanner, rotate the position control
shaft (3) counterclockwise until the elevating arm
has stopped to climb by inside hydraulic limit. Be-
cause of safety, the area remained though the el-
evating arm moved to its max. angle while elevating
it, is never contacted with hydraulic limit switch.
3. With elevating the lever up and down two or three
times, check it for operation and make sure it is
located at the same position at the highest.
Draft Control Lever
1. Lower elevating arm, loosen lock nut (1) and push
backward.
2. Disengage lock bolt (2).
3. Adjust the length of the feedback rod.

feedback rod (L) dimension
4. With minimum rpm, lower the position control lever
(6) to stopper (8), and then slowly raise the Draft
control lever (5) toward stopper (7) so that the el-
evating arm might be raised.
5. Until smooth down of elevating arm is obtained, de-
crease and adjust the length (L) of feedback rod
gradually one rotation a time.
6. After a completion of adjustment, tighten nut (1) and
lock bolt (2).
(Ref.)
When raised to max. using the Draft control lever, height
(H) will be higher between 15 and 20 mm (0.59 ~ 0.79 in.)
than the max, using the position control lever.
