100K-THC-E-16858 Ensure both arms move to the right when the sideshift right function is selected. Note: Do not sideshift arms until the cylinders bottom out. Conduct function test with arms approximately in the mid position. Ensure both arms move to the left when the sideshift left function is selected. Note: Do not sideshift arms until the cylinders bottom out.
100K-THC-E-16858 6.7 OPERATING RESTRICTIONS DANGER – failure to obey the following may result in death, serious injury, instability or equipment damage. This section should be placed in truck cabin & made visible to the operator at all times. NEVER handle tyre’s filled with ballast. If load limits NEVER transport tyre in vertical position.
Operations must be suspended until the work area is cleared. 6.8 OPERATOR TRAINING The Cascade Tyre Clamp is designed for operator simplicity. Prior to operating this unit, the operator must become thoroughly familiar with control functions, operating procedures, and safety precautions.

100K-THC-E-16858 WARNING Apply clamp load only when arms are horizontal or near horizontal. Do not re-clamp load when arms are vertical. WARNING When Tyre stops are not in use they should be positioned facing backwards. If positioned forward, they may damage the cylinder guards. Tyre stop rotated backwards for storage.
100K-THC-E-16858 Fig 3 6.11 TYRE HANDLER OPERATING RESTRICTIONS The Tyre handler is intended to be a tyre lifting and positioning unit. There are possible misapplications of this machine that can cause serious damage. Use of a single arm for lifting or carrying a load will void the tyre handler warranty. Use of one arm of the tyre handler for bead breaking will void the warranty.
100K-THC-E-16858 7 MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES 7.1 IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION WARNING Before servicing any hydraulic component, relieve pressure in the system. Turn the truck off and open the truck auxiliary control valves several times in both directions. After completing any service procedure, always test the function through five complete cycles. First test the attachment empty to bleed air trapped in the system to the truck system.

100K-THC-E-16858 8 TROUBLESHOOTING IMPORTANT: It is important that you gather all the facts regarding the problem before you begin service procedures. The best way of doing this is to talk with the fork truck operator. 8.1 GUIDELINES The following guidelines will help you decide where to begin your troubleshooting procedures: Clamp drops load after it has been picked up.
100K-THC-E-16858 8.2 CHART Trouble Shooting Chart Problem Possible Cause Possible Solution Vibration and jerking Lock of oil in reservoir. Add hydraulic oil when first operating Low temperature of oil. Manoeuvre with no load to warm oil. unit Lack of oil in reservoir. Add hydraulic oil Vibrations with every function when oil is hot.
100K-THC-E-16858 Trouble Shooting Chart Main arm travel is Flow divider is faulty. Clean or replace uneven Main body doesn’t Rotate relief valve faulty. Test and replace if required rotate. Unit will not sideshift Pressure trapped in clamp Remove plug from equaliser port. after clamping a load.
Page 25
100K-THC-E-16858 If Clamp will not sideshift or sideshifts slowly, adjust SS relief clockwise (CW) until Clamp sideshifts. Then adjust counter-clockwise (CCW) 1/4-turn increments until sideshift speed slows (relief opening). Finish by adjusting cartridge clockwise (CW)1/4-turn. If Clamp will not sideshift after attempted relief adjustment, go to Step 3. 3.
100K-THC-E-16858 9 CONTROL VALVE ASSEMBLY SERVICE 9.1 REVOLVING CONNECTION FEATURES All the main hydraulic valves and cartridges for the operation of the tyre handler are contained in the revolving connection. This valve also contains 3 test points for checking the hydraulic pressure of the sideshift, clamp and tilt functions.
100K-THC-E-16858 9.3 REVOLVING CONNECTION SEALS AND CARTRIDGES. 9.3.1 Disassemble. To service the revolving connection, the valve support must be removed, all feed tubes removed and the unit moved to the rear of the tyre handler. Clean the revolving connection before disassembling. Carefully remove the main shaft from the valve body after checking for any burrs on the shaft.
100K-THC-E-16858 10 CYLINDER SERVICE. 10.1 REMOVING AND INSTALLING THE CLAMP CYLINDERS. The cylinders can be removed whilst the unit is mounted on the truck. Do not remove the hydraulic supply till the cylinder rod has been disconnected from the arm. Note that the cylinders are heavy and a crane will be required to lift then from the unit.
100K-THC-E-16858 10.3 CYLINDER INSPECTION. Inspect the rod, piston and retainer for any nicks or burrs. Minor imperfections can be removed with 400-grit emery cloth. Inspect the cylinder bore and remove any minor nicks with a butterfly hone. Inspect the outside of the barrel of any dents, etc. Inspect the feed tubes for any damage.
100K-THC-E-16858 Removal of the cylinder cover is required to remove the feed hoses. Check all welds at the attachment location for the bearing housings. Refer to the assembly drawing for assembly torques and replacement part numbers. 10.6 ROTATE CYLINDER The rotate cylinder is mounted on the upper area of the base and the rod is attached to the carraige or base plate.

100K-THC-E-16858 10.6.2 Cylinder inspection The disassembly and reassembly process is similar to the clamp cylinder. Each end of the cylinder has a spherical bearing with can be replaced after removing a circlip. The cylinder is fitted with 2 counterbalance valves. Do not adjust these valves as they are factory-preset.
100K-THC-E-16858 11 MAIN SLEW BEARING The tyre handler rotates on a large diameter slew bearing with a large number of bolts to attach the bearing to the carriage and to the base weldment. The bearing is not adjustable for wear. The unit has a drain hole or drain slot at the bottom of the bearing to allow any water trapped inside the rotator to escape.
100K-THC-E-16858 12 SHIMMING CLAMP ARMS. 12.1 SHIM SLIDE ARM The sliding clamp arms are guided by a number of plastic bearings retained in the main body by bronze plugs. Under the upper and front bearings are steel shims used to adjust the arm clearance.
