NOTE!
During any service work on the telescopic forks, the forklift truck
must be switched off, the battery disconnected and the ignition key
removed.
During maintenance, the pressure should be released from the hy-
draulic system.
If the telescopic forks are being disconnected , the couplings of the
forks should be sealed to prevent dirt getting into the hydraulic sys-
tem.

1. Level the forks to hip height, tilt the mast to its forward posi-
tion and remove the ignition key from the contact The battery
plug must also be removed.
2. Take the outer fork off by removing the special M10 bolt from
the piston rod on the underside of the fork nose.
3. Unscrew the couplings on top of the back of the fork, so the
piston rods will not create a vacuum while disassembling.

the vertical plate. Apply Loctite 542 to the special M10 bolt and
then insert it first through the second washer, then the vertical
plate and then the first washer. Then screw the bolt tight on
the piston rod. Put the washers either side of the plate on the
outer fork and do not attempt to eliminate any clearance that
remains once the bolt is fastened. The remaining clearance
