100-hour maintenance, perform the following procedures:
• Tighten baseplate-to-rotation bearing capscrews to 70–
75 ft.-lbs. (95–105 Nm).
• Remove access plug on upper left back of baseplate.
Tighten rotation bearing-to-faceplate capscrews to
95–100 ft.-lbs. (130–135 Nm).
• Tighten upper hook capscrews to 235 ft.-lbs. (320 Nm).
• Check clearance between lower mounting hooks and
truck carriage bar:
Quick-Change Hooks – 3/16 in. (5 mm) max.
Bolt-On Hooks – Tight against lower carriage bar.
If adjustment is necessary, refer to Installation Step 7.
Tighten lower hook capscrews to 165 ft.-lbs. (225 Nm).
• Lubricate rotation bearing assembly with wheel bearing
grease. Rotate one full turn during procedure.
• Check that rotator drive gearcase lubricant level is at
bottom of fill plug hole. If necessary, fill with Cascade
Rotator Drive Lubricant, Part No. 656300 or SAE 90 wt.
gear lube (AGMA 'mild' 6 EP Gear Oil). Replace plug.
• Inspect top and bottom arm bearings for wear or
damage. Lubricate with silicon spray or light grease.
• Check clamp force (Cascade Clamp Force Indicator
Part No. 680072 is available for this procedure).

(Cascade Pressure Gauge Kit, Part No. 671212.)
• Assorted fittings, lines, drain hoses and quick-couplers
as required.
4.1-3 Troubleshooting Chart
Determine All The Facts – It is important to gather all the
facts about the problem before beginning any service
procedures. The first step is to talk to the equipment
operator. Ask for a complete description of the malfunc-
tion. Guidelines below and on the following pages can
then be used as a starting point to begin troubleshooting.
GA0014.ill
WARNING: Before servicing any
hydraulic component, relieve pressure in
the system. Turn the truck off and move
the truck auxiliary control valves several
times in both directions.
After completing any service procedure, always test
the Clamp through several cycles. First test the
Clamp empty to bleed any air trapped in the system to
the truck tank. Then test the Clamp with a load to be
sure it operates correctly before returning to the job.
Stay clear of the load while testing. Do not raise the
load more than 4 in. (10 cm) off the floor while testing.

4.3 Clamp Function
There are five potential problems that could affect the
CLAMP function:
• Incorrect load handling. Refer to the
Operator’s Guide
for suggested procedures.
• Incorrect hydraulic pressure or flow from the lift truck.
• External leaks.
• Defective solenoid coil or valve (if equipped).
• Worn/defective cartridge valves or cylinder seals.
4.3-1 Supply Circuit Test
1Check the pressure supplied by the truck at the carriage
hose terminal. Pressure must be within the range shown
in Specifications, Section 6.1. PRESSURE TO THE
CLAMP MUST NOT EXCEED 2600 PSI (180 bar).
2Check the flow volume at the carriage hose terminal.
Flow must be within the range shown in Specifications,
Section 6.1.
3Close the arms fully, holding the lever in the CLAMP
position for a few seconds. Release the lever and check
for external leaks at fittings, hoses, revolving connection
and manifolds.
4.3-2 Clamp Circuit Test
1Press the solenoid button (if equipped) and listen for a
'click' at the solenoid valve. If no sound is heard, first
check the fuse, wiring and coil. Assure that the valve is
not jammed (see Section 5.8).
IMPORTANT: Solenoid-operated valves must be
plumbed so that the solenoid is energized during the
CLAMP/RELEASE function.
2Open and close the arms fully. If the arms move slowly
or not at all, the CLAMP relief cartridge (see illustration
next page) may be faulty. Replace the cartridge. If the
arms move unequally, the flow divider cartridge
(see illustration next page) may be faulty. Replace
the cartridge.
3Position the arms to mid-stroke. Turn the truck off and
connect a 3000 psi (200 bar) pressure gauge to both the
LH and RH TEST ports on the revolving connection
(No. 4 O-ring fittings required).
4Start the truck and close the arms fully, holding the lever
in the CLAMP position for a few seconds.
WARNING: Before removing hydraulic
lines or components, relieve pressure in the
hydraulic system. Turn the truck off and
open the truck auxiliary control valves
several times in both directions.

5Release the lever and watch the pressure gauge:
• If the pressure drop is less than 150 psi (10 bar)
initially, and additional drop does not exceed 25 psi
(1.7 bar) per minute, the problem is not hydraulic
(see Section 4.1-3).
• If the pressure drop is more than 150 psi (10 bar)
initially, and additional drop exceeds 25 psi (1.7
bar) per minute, the CLAMP check valve cartridges
may be faulty. Replace the cartridges.

6Close the arms fully and hold the lever in the CLAMP
position for a few seconds. If the pressure still drops as
before, the cylinders are faulty and must be serviced
(see Section 5.6).

4.4-2 Rotation Circuit Test
without Load
1Press the solenoid button (if equipped) and listen for a
'click' at the solenoid valve. If no sound is heard, first
check the fuse, wiring and coil. Assure that the valve is
not jammed (see Section 5.8).
IMPORTANT: Solenoid-operated valves must be
plumbed so that the solenoid is not energized during
the ROTATE function.
2Turn the truck off and connect a 3500 psi (240 bar)
pressure gauge to each rotator motor fitting as shown.
3Rotate the Clamp without a load and note pressure
readings of both gauges.
• If the Clamp rotates in one direction faster than the
other, or rotates in one direction only, the check
valve assembly may need repair (see Section 5.5).
• If the lower gauge reading exceeds 500 psi (35 bar),
there is excessive back pressure in the supply
circuit. Check for restrictions such as as numerous
fittings, 90-degree fittings, or hose sizes less than
No.8.
4.4-3 Rotation Circuit Test
with Load
1Rotate a load requiring approximately three-fourths
(3/4) of the Clamp's maximum torque capacity:
30E, 33E, – 72,000 in.-lbs. @ 2000 psi
40E, 45E (8136 Nm @ 140 bar).
Note gauge readings during rotation:
• If the higher gauge reading is substantially less than
the truck pressure as measured at the carriage hose
terminal, the rotator motor geroler set may need
repair (see Section 5.4).
• If the higher gauge reading is close to truck
pressure as measured at the carriage hose terminal
and no rotation occurs, the rotator motor output shaft
or drive box may need repair. Continue trouble-
shooting.
2Remove the motor from the drive box assembly as
described in Section 5.4.
3Reinstall the hoses to the rotator motor fittings. Actuate
the ROTATE circuit.
• If the rotator motor shows rotational output, the drive
box may require service (see Section 5.3).
• If the rotator motor shows little or no rotational
output, the rotator motor requires service (see
Section 5.4).

4.5 Electrical Circuit
(Solenoid-equipped Clamps)
Use the electrical schematic and diagram shown and
follow the steps below:
1Check the control knob circuit fuse. Replace if
necessary.
2Check for loose electrical connections at the truck
ignition switch, control knob button, solenoid coil
terminals and diode.
3Remove the diode from the solenoid coil terminal. Test
with an ohmmeter for high resistance in one direction
and no resistance in the other direction. If there is no
resistance in both directions, replace the diode.
NOTE: When replacing the diode, the banded (+) end
must be connected to the coil and wiring as shown.
4Disconnect the electrical leads from the solenoid coil
terminals. Use a voltmeter to determine if voltage is
present at the electrical leads when the button is
depressed.
• If there is no current to the solenoid, troubleshoot
the electrical circuit for shorts.
• If there is current to the solenoid, test for coil
continuity.
5Test for coil continuity by placing an ohmmeter test
lead on each solenoid coil terminal (ohmmeter on Rx1
scale).
• If there is an ohmmeter reading, the coil is good.
• If the coil is good, but the solenoid does not 'click'
when the control knob button is depressed, the
solenoid cartridge may be jammed. Refer to
Section 5.6.
• If there is no ohmmeter reading, the coil is defective
and should be replaced. Refer to Section 5.6.

5.1 Revolving Clamp
Removal
1Position the Clamp's arms to the width of the frame.
2Disconnect and plug the hydraulic supply hoses to the
Clamp. Tag hoses for reassembly.
3Disconnect the lower hooks:
Quick-Change Hooks – Remove the locking pins and
drop the hooks into the unlocked position. Replace the
pins in the lower holes. For reassembly, remove the pins
and slide the hooks up to the locked position. Replace
the pins in the top holes.
Bolt-On Hooks – Remove the capscrews and mounting
hooks. For reassembly, tighten the capscrews as follows:
Class II/III Mounting – 165 ft.-lbs. (225 Nm).
4Lower the Clamp onto a pallet. Tilt the mast forward and
lower the carriage to disengage the upper hooks.
5For Clamp installation, reverse the above procedures
except as follows:
• Refer to Section 2 for complete installation procedure.
WARNING: Before removing hydraulic
lines, relieve pressure in the hydraulic
system. Turn the truck off and move the
truck auxiliary control valves several times
in both directions.
