Figure 7-112.Measuring Mast Tilt

3.Place a square on the mast 39.4 in. (1meter) below where the plumb line is attached and measure the distance between the face of the mast and the plumb line.

4.Repeat steps 1 thru 3 using the back of the mast main frame for backward tilt.

5.Adjust the stroke of the tilt cylinders as necessary to achieve the correct mast tilt. Refer to Figure7-112 and Table7-6.

Mast Tilt Position Switch Adjustment (Bottler’s Tilt Only)

Trucks equipped with the Bottler’s Tilt option require mast mounted switches (S11 and S18) for the VM to determine carriage and mast position.

Adjust the Mast Tilt Position Switch (S18) so that it opens when the mast is tilted beyond 3° forward.

1.Attach a plumb line to the mast. See Figure7-112.

2.Place a square on the mast 39.4 in. (1meter) below where the plumb line is attached and tilt the mast forward 3° (2in./52 mm at Dim. A in Figure7-112).

3.Adjust Mast Tilt Position Switch (S18) bracket so that the switch opens when the mast is tilted further forward.

2.Tilt the mast forward completely.
