Relieving Gas Strut Cylinder Pressure
The FT70 and FT140 mast assemblies are mechanically the same
inside. To help extend the mast assembly sections during opera-
tion, there are two gas strut cylinders mounted internally. When
the mast is fully retracted the gas struts are compressed. The fol-
lowing procedures must ALWAYS be performed before disas-
sembling the mast assembly.
1. Lay mast on a clean sturdy workbench large enough
to fully support the mast assembly.
2. FULLY extend the mast using the hex drive shaft in the

Outer-Mast Section Gas Strut Removal

8. The outer-mast section gas strut is attached to the
mast cap with a threaded stud on the barrel end of the
cylinder. To remove the gas strut cylinder, just unscrew
it from the top cap, then slide it out of the bottom of
the mast.
Inspect the gas strut guide where the gas strut passes
through the gear box for damage, replace if necessary.
5. Before removing the top cap the slide pads and shims
must be removed from one side of the mid-inner and
mid-outer mast extrusions, this will make it easier to
slide the drive assembly out of the mast.
6. Once all the top cap screws are removed, slide the
complete top cap assembly out the top of the outer-
mast section.

tion slide pads may also fall out during removal. Take
notice to the position and orientation of each slide
pad when sliding apart. Figure 6-2. on page 6-10 also
shows the mast section slide pad configuration for re-
assembly.
10. If further tear-down is required proceed to gearbox
removal.
GearBox Removal
12. Once the gearbox screws are removed, slide the gear-
box, drive screws and remaining gas strut assembly
from the mid and inner-mast sections.
11. Remove the (16) screws, two rows of (4) each side,
securing the gearbox to the mid-mast section.

Mid-Mast Section Gas Strut Removal

13. The gas strut cylinder uses a threaded stud to attach
the barrel end to the gearbox. To remove the gas strut
attached to the bottom of the gearbox, just unscrew it
from the bottom of the gearbox and slide it out of the
bottom of the mast.
Inspect the gas strut guide where the gas strut passes
through the drive screw attach bracket for damage,

are separated use a wide blade screw driver or similar
tool and evenly pry the halves further apart, until the
housing is released from the bearings. The housing
can now be slid completely off the end of the drive
screw if necessary.
3. If the drive belt is broken or damaged, remove all
debris from the gearbox housing before placing a new
belt onto the drive gears.

though the gear box (item 5 - Figure 6-1. on page 6-9) and the
drive screw attach bracket (item 8 - Figure 6-1. on page 6-9) for
excessive wear or breakage. Replace if necessary.
Use the gas strut removal tool to compress and reattach the gas
strut mounts and align the mount holes with the mast holes.
Secure mounts with the allen head socket screws.

6.6 Mast Drive Screw Lubrication

To keep the mast assembly operating smoothly and efficiently,
the outer and mid-mast drive screws must be lubricated annu-
ally.
There are three (3) access covers on the upper portion of the
outer mast section, one on each side, and one on the back of
the mast. 3
Only two (2) covers must be removed to lubricate the mast drive
screws, the cover on the rear, and the cover on the auxiliary
drive port (right) side of the mast. (See Figure 6-3.)

It should be noted that there is no substitute for a thorough
knowledge of the equipment and related systems.
It should be recognized that the majority of the problems aris-
ing in the machine will be centred in the power system. For this
reason, every effort has been made to ensure that all likely prob-
lems in these areas are given the fullest possible treatment. In
the remaining machine groups, only those problems which are
symptomatic of greater problems which have more than one
probable cause and remedy are included. This means that prob-
lems for which the probable cause and remedy may be immedi-
ately obvious are not listed in this section.
