INSTALLATION Adjust Relief Cartridges (continued) Clamp Relief Adjustment – Clamp Force Method (Carton Clamp Attachments only) A Cascade 4-Point Force Distribution Tester is required for this procedure. Extend the arms to the most common load width. Lower the contact pads to just above the floor. Position the tester between the contact pads.
ATTACHMENTS WITHOUT ARMS Attachments without arms are supplied with two arm bases. Special forks can be welded directly to the arm bases or they can be used as a base to fabricate custom built arms. Drive Adapter WARNING: Cascade requires that a qualified or certified welder experienced in this type of fabrication be used for best quality.
CONTACT PAD EXTENSION CARTON CLAMPS Attachments supplied with contact pad extensions are installed as follows: Install pivot block to contact pad. Tighten capscrews to 90 Nm. Loosen lever on pivot block. Position the lever to the front face of the pivot block. Insert the lower lock plate into the pad extension.

ADJUSTING PAD CAMBER – CARTON CLAMPS STANDARD (SHIMMED) DESIGN The following procedure is performed on attachments with standard (shimmed) design for contact pad and stabilizer. This procedure can be performed with the arms in place and the attachment mounted on the truck. A Cascade 4-Point Force Distribution Tester can also be used to verify Position contact the clamp force over the contact pad surface.
ADJUSTING PAD CAMBER – CARTON CLAMPS FLEXIBLE (ADJUSTA-BLOCK) DESIGN The following procedure is performed on attachments with flexible (ADJUSTA-BLOCK) design for contact pad and stabilizer. This procedure can be performed with the arms in place and the attachment mounted on the truck. A Cascade 4-Point Force Distribution Tester is required for this procedure.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE General WARNING: After completing any service procedure, always test the attachment NOTE: Refer to the following pages for periodic through five complete cycles. First test maintenance specific to attachments with external sideshift empty, then test with load to make sure (page 18) and carton clamps attachments (page 18).
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE Attachments with External Sideshift External Sideshifter In addition to (or in place of, where necessary) the periodic maintenance found in the "General" periodic maintenance Socket Capscrew schedule (page 17), perform the following for attachments with external sideshift equipped: 500-Hour Maintenance •...
