➀Cascade E-Series QFM™Push/Pull is compatible with SAE 10W
petroleum base hydraulic fluid meeting Mil. Spec. MIL-0-5606 or
MIL-0-2104B. Use of synthetic or aqueous base hydraulic fluid
is not recommended. If fire resistant hydraulic fluid is required,
special seals must be used. Contact Cascade.
➁Flow less than recommended will result in reduced mechanism
speeds.
➂Flow greater than maximum can result in excessive heating,
reduced system performance and reduced hydraulic system life.

WARNING: Platen capscrews must be
tightened regularly to prevent equipment
damage or personnel injury.
ERIODIC MAINTENANCE
WARNING: After completing maintenance
procedures, always test the attachment
through five complete cycles. First test the
attachment empty, then test with a load to
make sure the attachment operates correctly
before returning it to the job.
100-Hour Maintenance
Every time the lift truck is serviced or every 100 hours
of truck operation, whichever comes first, complete the
following maintenance on the attachment:
• Check for loose or missing bolts, worn or damaged
hoses and hydraulic leaks.
• Inspect rollers on faceplate and frame for wear. Rollers
operate without lubrication. If required, use Dubois
FGG-2 food industry grease (Cascade Part No.
669306).
500-Hour Maintenance
After each 500 hours of truck operation, in addition to the
100-hour maintenance, perform the following procedures:
• Inspect all mechanism pivot point bushings and pins for
excessive wear and replace as necessary. See Service
Manual 686455.
• Tighten the arm pivot pin retainer capscrews to
10 ft.-lbs. (13 Nm).
• Tighten the gripper assembly (if equipped) capscrews
to 120 ft.-lbs. (165 Nm).
• Tighten the platen mounting capscrews to 40 ft.-lbs.
(60 Nm).
• Check for 1/8 in. (3.2 mm) maximum clearance between
lower mounting hooks and truck carriage bar. Refer to
Step 5 in this manual if adjustment is necessary.
• Check for 1/16 in. (1.6 mm) maximum clearance
between upper hook setscrews and truck carriage
bar. Refer to Step 6 in this manual if adjustment is
necessary.
• Tighten lower hook capscrews to 60 ft.-lbs. (80 Nm).
1000-Hour Maintenance
After each 1000 hours of truck operation, in addition to
the 100 and 500-hour maintenance, perform the following
procedures:
• Check accumulator pre-charge and adjust to truck relief
pressure if required. Use Charging Kit 228235 and refer
to Accumulator User Guide 227196 for procedures.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
2000-Hour Maintenance
After 2000 hours of truck operation, in addition to the
100, 500 and 1000-hour maintenance, forks in use shall
be inspected at intervals of not more than 12 months
(for single shift operations) or whenever any defect or
permanent deformation is detected. Severe applications
will require more frequent inspection.
Fork inspection shall be carried out by trained personnel
to detect any damage that might impair safe use. Any fork
that is defective shall be removed from service. Reference
ANSI B56.1-2005.
Inspect for the following defects:
•Surface cracks
•Straightness of blade and shank
•Fork angle
•Difference in height of fork tips
•Positioning lock
•Wear on fork blade and shank
•Wear on fork hooks
•Legibility of marking
NOTE: Fork Safety Kit 3014162 contains wear calipers,
inspection sheets and safety poster. Also available
is fork hook & carriage wear gauge 209560 (Class II),
209561 (Class III) and 6104118 (Class IV).
