Most lift trucks have limited slip drive differential so when you turn one side it will try and turn the other side so you may feel some resistance in the carrier assy inside the differential, but outside of that you should feel a slight drag if the shoes are adjusted correctly. Once you get the wheels off the ground you can release the park brake and turn the wheels and see if there is much drag on them if any. Second- tilt mast forward till both wheels are off the ground (hardwood blocks work best because they dont crush as easily) :o)įirst- get the wheels off the ground, best way is to find some blocks of wood ( 2x4 or 4x4 ) and put them underneath the front under the mast channel on the most outside channel under the front edge. Well first off forgive me for not explaining in more detail, sometimes i forget that i may not be dealing with a lifttruck tech. I am hoping that once I get the service brakes adjusted proper then I will be able to adjust the brake pedal correctly and have it be a little bit more stable.any ideas? Thanks! So I backed down the pedal stop bolt to add the appropriate amount of play again (thinking that maybe the master cylinder just needed to be "broken in"), then shortly after that there was waaaaaaaaay too much play in the brake pedal, like 2-3 inches. You could put the truck in gear without pushing on the pedal and the truck would not move. However, shortly after use, the brake "play" was completely gone.you could push the brake pedal and it was already completely engaged. I adjusted the pedal stopping bolt so that you only had to push the brake maybe an inch before they would engage, then adjusted the governor/inching adjustment accordingly. Question, the reason I am adjusting the brakes is because something funny is happening so I am going to try and do a complete brake/inching adjustment and then see if I cant make the idle work.I was leaking brake fluid somewhere, then someone snapped the master cylinder rod so I replaced the master cylinder. I've been turning wrenches for maybe 20 years, but this is my first lift truck, and I just yesterday got the service manual for this Yale GLP050 I am working on. You answered all of those with your very descriptive post. I pretty much had already read everything that you had stated in the service manual and seen it in YouTube videos, but both of those left more questions to be answered before I could really start this job. Very informative lesson, THANK YOU crown619.
