PARTS DISPOSITION
Handle the parts in accordance with your Warranty Bulletin on warranty parts handling.
Rework Procedure
Move the machine to a level surface.
Inspect both the left and right side lift arms at the mounting points shown in Image1.1.1.
The maximum amount of space between the inside of each lift arm and front frame tower should not exceed 1.5mm.
If more than 1.5mm of space exists, follow the directions below in order to install up to four 264-5246 Shims, per machine. To equalize the lift arms, the same number of shims should be installed on both the left and right lift arms, or a maximum of two shims per lift arm.
Refer to KENR7577, Disassembly and Assembly, "Lift Arms - Remove and Install", Steps 9 through 11, for supporting the lift arms and removing the pins on the lift arms.
Once lift arms are secured, remove the pins only far enough to allow for the installation of the 264-5246 Shims.
Reassemble the machine. Inspect the lift arm to front frame tower gap. Ensure that less than a 1.5mm gap exists.
