Description and Operation
General
This section has the description and the service procedures for the mast. The parts of the mast include the
forks, carriages, lift cylinders, and the mast weldments.
Description and Operation
GENERAL
The vertical frames of a mast are called channel
weldments. See Figure 1. All of the masts have tele-
scopic weldments. The outer weldment is mounted
on support pins in the frame to let the mast tilt
forward and backward. The tilt cylinders connect
the outer weldment of the mast to the frame.
Hydraulic lift cylinders are installed vertically at
each side of the outer channel weldments. The lift
cylinders and lift chains raise and lower the inner
weldment and the carriage. The base of each lift
cylinder fits into a mount near the bottom of the
outer weldment. The top of each lift cylinder (cylin-
der rod) fits into a guide at the top of the inner
weldment. Operation of the lift cylinders extends
and retracts the inner weldment.
Two lift chains control the movement of the carriage.
The chains fasten to mounts near the top of the
outer weldment.
The chains go up and over the
chain sheaves and then connect to the carriage. The
chain sheaves are installed near the top of the inner
weldment. When the lift cylinders extend, the lift
chains transfer the force from the lift cylinders to
the carriage.
When the telescopic weldments and the carriage
lift a load, forces are put on the mast assembly. To
decrease the friction caused by these forces, load
rollers and side blocks are installed between the
moving parts. The load rollers and side blocks travel
along the channels within the weldments.

Safety Procedures When Working Near Mast
4000 SRM 1160
LIFTING
Oil from the main control valve enters the lift cylin-
ders at the lowering control valves. Because of the
heavy load on the mast, pressure in the base of the
lift cylinders is higher when there is a load. There
is no oil in the top of the lift cylinders, but there is a
drain line attached on top of the lift cylinders which
connects to the hydraulic tank.
LOWERING
During lowering, the oil from the lift cylinders flows
through the lowering control valves to the main con-
trol valve. See the section Diagrams 8000 SRM 1153
for the E117 lift trucks and Diagrams 8000 SRM
1236 for the F117 lift trucks. The lowering control
valves permit easy entry of hydraulic oil into the lift
cylinders, but give a restriction when the lift cylin-
ders are lowered. This restriction controls the speed
that a load can be lowered.
Safety Procedures When Working Near Mast
The following procedures must be used when inspect-
ing or working near the mast. Additional precautions
and procedures can be required when repairing or re-
moving the mast. See the correct Service Manual sec-
tion for the specific mast being repaired.
WARNING
Mast parts are heavy and can move. Distances
between parts are small.
Serious injury or
death can result if part of the body is hit by
parts of the mast or the carriage.
• Never put any part of the body into or under
the mast or carriage unless all parts are com-
pletely lowered or a safety chain is installed.
Also make sure that the power is OFF and the
key is removed. Put a DO NOT OPERATE tag
in the operator’s compartment.
• Be careful of the forks.
When the mast is
raised, the forks can be at a height to cause
an injury.
• Do NOT climb on the mast or lift truck at any
time. Use a ladder or personnel lift to work
on the mast.
• Do NOT use blocks to support the mast weld-
ments nor to restrain their movement.
• Mast repairs can require disassembly and re-
moval of parts and can require removal of the
mast or carriage. Follow the repair proce-
dures in the correct Service Manual for the
mast.
WHEN WORKING NEAR THE MAST ALWAYS:
1.
Lower the mast and carriage completely. Push
the lift/lower control lever forward and verify
there is no movement in the mast. Verify that all
parts of the mast that move are fully lowered.
OR
2.
If parts of the mast must be in raised position,
install a safety chain to restrain the moving parts
of the mast. Connect moving parts to a part that
does not move. Follow these procedures:
a. Put the mast in a vertical position.
b. Raise the mast to align the bottom cross-
member of the inner weldment with a cross-
member on the outer weldment.
c.
Use a safety chain, which can hold a mini-
mum of 20,000 kg (44,093 lb), with a hook
to fasten the crossmembers together so that
the movable member cannot lower. Put the
hook on the back side of the mast. Verify the
hook is completely engaged with a link in the
chain. Verify the safety chain does not touch
lift chains or chain sheaves, tubes, hoses, fit-
tings, or other parts on the mast. See Fig-
ure 2.
d. Lower the mast until there is tension in the
safety chain. If running, stop the engine. Ap-
ply the parking brake. Install a DO NOT
REMOVE tag on the safety chain(s).
e.
Install another safety chain (1/2 inch mini-
mum) between the top or bottom crossmem-
ber of the carriage and a crossmember on the
outer weldment.
3.
Apply the parking brake. After lowering or re-
straining the mast, shut off the power and re-
move the key. Put a DO NOT OPERATE tag
in the operator’s compartment.

WARNING
DO NOT weld on any part of the mast assembly
including the weldments, forks, or carriage.
Get information from your Hyster lift truck
dealer before welding on the mast.
1.
Inspect the sheaves and load rollers. Replace any
parts that are worn or damaged. DO NOT use
steam to clean the lift chains, sheaves, or load
rollers.
2.
Clean the lift chains with solvent. Inspect the lift
chains for wear or damage. See Figure 10. A lift
chain becomes longer when it is worn. If a chain
is 3% longer than a new lift chain, the lift chain
must be replaced. Use a chain scale to measure
the chains. If a chain scale is not available, check
the lift chains with the measurements given in
Figure 11. Lubricate the chains with SAE 30
engine oil. The best procedure is to remove the
chains from the lift truck and soak them in oil.

CLEAN AND INSPECT
Clean all the parts of the lift cylinder in solvent. In-
spect the bore and rod for scratches or grooves.
ASSEMBLE
1.
Install the lowering control valve, check valve,
and fittings in the base of the cylinder. See Fig-
ure 14.
NOTE: The seal can be installed on the piston with
the use of a cone. Make a cone (wood) that is approx-
imately 250 mm (10 in.) long. Make the small end of
the cone approximately 6 mm (0.25 in.) smaller than
the inside diameter of the seal. Make the large end of
the cone approximately 6 mm (0.25 in.) larger than
the piston. Fasten the cone to the piston by using the
hole in the bottom of the piston. Put the seal on the
cone. Use a wood or plastic drift to push the seal onto
the cone and piston.
2.
Install the seal on the piston as follows:
a. Install part of the seal in the groove of the
piston. Have a helper hold the seal in the
groove.
b. Use two bars [at least 460 mm (18 in.) long
and approximately 10 mm (0.38 in.) in diam-
eter] that have a tapered end. Verify the bars
are smooth so the seal is not damaged.
c.
With the tapered end of the bars toward the
piston, use the bars to pull the seal into the
groove. It will take several minutes for the
seal to increase in size to fit over the piston.
After installation, it will take several min-
utes for the seal to decrease to its original
size.
d. Install the backup rings on both sides of the
piston seal.
e.
Install the wear ring on the piston.
3.
Install the O-ring, backup ring, nylon plug, rod
seal, and rod wiper in the retainer. Install the
retainer. It is necessary to make a special tool
to tighten the retainer. See Figure 15 for the
dimensions of the retainer. Tighten the retainer
to 1065 N•m (785 lbf ft).

Header Hoses Replacement
The header hoses are the hydraulic lines that con-
nect the attachment cylinders to the hydraulic
system of the lift truck.
The header hoses move
on hose sheaves that are installed at the top of the
outer weldment.
When removing or installing the header hoses, verify
they are connected to the correct fittings as shown
in Figure 16. To install the hoses, use the following
procedure:
1.
Connect the hoses to the fittings on the lift truck.
2.
Use clamps and fasten the hoses to the mast. Do
not tighten the clamps for the hoses at the top of
the lift cylinder.
3.
Put the hoses over the sheaves. Put tension on
the hoses by pulling on them with 16 kg (35 lb)
of force and then tighten the clamps at the top of
the lift cylinder.
4.
Install the hose with the wiring harness as de-
scribed in Step 2 and Step 3 above. After tight-
ening the clamps for the hose, verify the wiring
harness moves freely inside the hose.
