ROUBLESHOOTING Sideshift Circuit Test 4.4-2 Press the solenoid button (if equipped) and listen for a 'click' at the solenoid valve. If no sound is heard, first check the fuse, wiring and coil (see Section 4.5). Then assure that the valve is not jammed (see Section 5.5). IMPORTANT: Solenoid-operated valves must be plumbed so that the solenoid is not energized during the SIDESHIFT function.
ROUBLESHOOTING Electrical Circuit (Solenoid-equipped Clamps) Use the electrical schematic and diagram shown and follow the steps below: Check the control knob circuit fuse. Replace if necessary. Check for loose electrical connections at the truck ignition switch, control knob button, solenoid coil terminals and diode.
ERVICE Clamp Removal Sideshift Left Open Sideshift Right Clamp Position the Clamp's arms to the width of the frame. WARNING: Before removing hydraulic lines, relieve pressure in the hydraulic system. Turn the truck off and open the truck auxiliary control valves several times in both directions.
ERVICE Arms Arm Assemblies – 5.2-1 Removal and Installation The following procedures can be performed with the Clamp mounted on the truck. Position the arms to frame width. Lower the Clamp to position the contact pads 1/2 in. (13 mm) above the floor. Remove the upper and lower cylinder rod anchor bars on the arm to be removed.

Raise the Clamp so that the Valve is accessible from behind, through the mast. Remove the valve guard (if equipped). WARNING: Before removing hydraulic components, relieve pressure in the hydrau- lic system.
Valve Service 5.3-3 IMPORTANT: Service the Valve in a clean work area. E-Series Clamps use three different types of Valve assem- blies: non-sideshifting, sideshifting, and sideshifting with regeneration. Service procedures are the same for all. Remove the Valve from the Clamp as described in Section 5.3-1.
