Model 9600/9700 Swing-Reach ® Lift Truck Mast, Chain, Hose, Cable
Section 7. Component Procedures Main Lift Chains (9700)
7. Measure the distance from the top of the tensioning nut to the bottom shoulder of the chain anchor.
14. Adjust the lift chains. Refer to “Fork Height and Lift Chain Adjustment” on page 7-114.
8. On the left side, adjust the tensioning nut and jam nut so the distance between the top of the tensioning nut and the bottom shoulder of the chain anchor is 0.50 in. (12.7 mm) less than the distance measured in step 7. 9. At the top of the mast, remove the rope, nut, and washer, and feed the chain anchor through the bore in the mast crosstie. 10. Attach tensioning and jam nuts. Install four compression spring washers between the chain anchor block and the tensioning nut. Then install the slack chain actuating bracket and switch between the tensioning nut and the retaining (jam) nut. Figure 7-112. Compression Spring Orientation Chain Anchor Block Compression Spring Washers
NOTE: Make sure the compression spring washers are in the correct orientation so that they function correctly. See Figure 7-112. The compression spring washers compress fully when the chain is tight. 11. Attach the cotter pin. Leave the same length of exposed thread as you measured in removal step 6. 12. Reconnect the battery connector and turn the key switch ON. 13. Slowly and carefully request main lift until the slack is removed from the lift chains and the platform lifts slightly. Remove the blocking. Slowly and carefully lower the platform completely.
