WARNING
Before working on or near the mast, see Safety
Procedures When Working Near Mast in this
section.
This section contains the removal, installation, and
adjustment procedures for the two-stage, zero free-
lift mast. The description and operation of the mast
is outlined in the section Mast Description 4000
SRM 1045.
The repair procedures for the W20ZA and W25ZA
masts are outlined in this section.
The main components of the mast include:
• Mast Weldments
• Lift Cylinders
• Carriage
• Lift Chains
• Hydraulic Tubing
The mast assembly has wear strips and shims that
prevent wear to the mast weldments and allow for
limited adjustment. The wear strips are replaceable
components where friction points cannot be avoided,
such as the outside edge of the channel flange. Load
rollers sustain the forward and backward forces on
the mast and carriage while reducing friction on the
mast weldments. Wear strips must be shimmed peri-
odically, however, no adjustment is necessary for load
rollers. Both may be replaced when necessary. Refer
to Mast Repair, Remove.
WARNING
The mast and carriage assemblies and their
components are heavy. To help prevent dam-
age or injury, a lifting device must be used
during all service procedures.
The mast assemblies must have the mast weldments
parallel with equal clearance on each side between
all weldments. Correct operation depends on peri-
odic cleaning, lubrication, shimming the wear strips,
and adjustment of the lift chains.
NOTE: For the proper maintenance and inspection
procedures for the mast, hydraulic cylinders, forks,
chains, and carriages for your truck, see Periodic
Maintenance 8000 SRM 1048.
NOTE: The carriage can be removed from the mast
assembly with the load backrest and forks installed.
Likewise, the mast can be removed from the truck
without removing the carriage. Perform only the pro-
cedures necessary for repair.

Safety Procedures When Working Near Mast
The following procedures MUST be used when in-
specting or working near the mast. Additional pre-
cautions and procedures can be required when re-
pairing or removing the mast.
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 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 require disassembly and re-
moval of parts and can require removal of
the mast or carriage. Follow the repair pro-
cedures in the correct Service Manual for
the mast.
WHEN WORKING NEAR THE MAST ALWAYS:
• Lower the mast and carriage completely.
Push the LOWER button and make sure
there is no movement in the mast. Make
sure all parts of the mast that move are fully
lowered.
OR
• If parts of the mast must be in a raised po-
sition, 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:
1. Put the mast in a vertical position.
2. Raise the mast to align the bottom crossmember
of the inner weldment with the top of the outer
weldment. See Figure 1.
3. Use a 9.5 mm (3/8 in.) minimum safety chain
with a hook to fasten the weldments together so
the inner weldment cannot lower. Put the hook
on the back side of the mast. Make sure the hook
is completely engaged with a link in the chain.
Make sure the safety chain does not touch lift
chains or chain sheaves, tubes, hoses, fittings, or
other parts on the mast.
4. Lower the mast until there is tension in the
safety chain and the lift cylinder is completely
retracted. If running, stop the engine. Apply the
parking brake. Install a DO NOT REMOVE
tag on the safety chain(s).
NOTE: After lowering or restraining the mast, shut
off the power and remove the key. Put a DO NOT
OPERATE tag in the operator’s compartment.
