must be no more than a 0.10" (2,5 mm) gap
between the frame and axle. Secure the pin in
place with a capscrew and locknut. Tighten
locknut until snug against collar, then an
additional 1/4 turn.
3. Secure the frame tilt cylinder rod end to the
frame mounting blocks, Fig. 5.7, with a pin and
two retaining rings. The pin must pass easily
through both mounting blocks. If not, shim the
blocks as required. Lubricate the pin using the
grease fitting on the cylinder rod.

end yoke. Be sure retaining rings are securely
