Model 9600/9700 Swing-Reach ® Lift Truck

7.Measure the distance from the top of the tensioning nut to the bottom shoulder of the chain anchor.

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.

Section 7.Component Procedures

14.Adjust the lift chains. Refer to “Fork Height and Lift Chain Adjustment” on page7-114 .

Compression

NOTE: Make sure the compression spring washers are in the correct orientation so that they function correctly. See Figure7-112. 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.

Main Mast Lateral Bearing Adjustment (9600) Adjustment

1.Loosen set screw lock nut. See Figure7-113

2.Center the telescopic left to right within the main frame with the forks centered straight ahead. Turn the key switch OFF and disconnect the battery connector.

3.Tighten set screws equally to finish centering telescopic. If no adjustment remains, stop here. Replace the pucks. See “Telescopic Removal and Mast Puck/Bearing Replacement (9600)” on page7-100.

4.Loosen set screw at top of mast, 1/4turn on either side.

5.While holding set screw, tighten lock nut, both sides.

6.Apply thread-locking compound (P/N1013829) to screw.

7.Tighten set screws at bottom of telescopic, then loosen 1/4 turn (both sides).

8.Tighten lock nut on either side after adjustment is done.

Main Mast Lateral Bearing Adjustment (9700) Adjustment

1.On both sides of the mast, measure the dimension between the inside of the main frame uprights and the outside of the inner telescopic.

2.Compare the dimensions to determine which way the telescopic needs adjustment.

Section 7.Component Procedures

Main Mast Lateral Bearing Adjustment (9700) locating pin in the mast engages one of several adjustment holes. See Figure7-115.

3.Elevate the operator platform as required to gain access to the lateral thrust bearings on the main frame. Block and clamp the platform between the platform and baseleg (not the floor).

4.Turn the key switch OFF and disconnect the battery connector.

5.The lateral bearings are mounted on an eccentric. The bearing is positioned so a

6.Loosen or remove the bearing retaining bolt and remove the bearing.

7.Pry the carriage to the correct position.

8.Reposition the bearing on the locating pin offering the smallest clearance between bearing and main frame.

9.If the carriage is tight but not centered, loosen the bearings on one side before adjusting the bearings on the other side.

10.Torque all lateral bearing retaining bolts to 75 ft. lb. (102 Nm) with thread-locking compound P/N 1013829.

11.Remove blocking and clamps.

12.Reconnect the battery connector and turn the key switch ON.

13.When the bearings are adjusted correctly, only one upper and one lower bearing make contact with the main frame at a time.

14.Fully elevate the platform and check for binding between the main frame and telescopic. If both upper bearings or both lower bearings are making contact with the telescopic, the bear ings are too tight. Loosen one bearing by one adjustment hole.
