Product and Technical Description
Loctite Application
Refer to the manufacturer instructions on the container before use, in addition to the following
information:
Procedure for the correct use of Loctite 242 and Loctite 243 (Colour blue) Threadlocking:
- Clean both of the joint faces with Loctite 7063 Cleaner or a lint-free cloth
moistened with Acetone or another suitable volatile solvent.
NOTE: Because Loctite 243 is oil-tolerant, it is not necessary to meet the same
standard of oil-free cleanliness as for Loctite 242.
- Apply Loctite 243 sparingly but sufficient to fill all engaged threads. (This
product performs best in thin bond gaps [0.05 mm]).
- Install the threaded components and where known, torque to the applicable
torque figure. If the torque figure is not known tighten to a firm fixing.
- Clean off any unwanted adhesive.
- Allow the Loctite 243 to cure before subjecting to load.
NOTE: The cure time will depend on the materials used, the ambient temperature
and the bond line gap.
- Where the cure speed is unacceptably long, or large gaps are present,
applying Loctite Activator ‘N’ or ‘T’ to the surface will improve the cure
speed.
For general Loctite specifications and application details: refer to Loctite manufactures
instructions.

4) Remove the two bolts that secure the handle to the control box back plate using a 4 mm
Allen key.
5) Loosen the adjustable slider in the center of the handle and the two nylon setscrew sliders.
Slide the handle out from the top of the outer mast.
Replacement
NOTE: The replacement handle is supplied with all the sliders already attached.
1) Check the outer mast channel for any dents or kinks that may prevent the handle from
sliding back in correctly.
2) Slide the new handle inside the channel of the outer mast.
3) Secure the handle to the control box backplate with the new bolt provided with the handle.
Adjustment
1) Tighten the central slider, then loosen it by 1/8 of a turn.
2) Adjust the two nylon setscrews to remove the play when twisting the handle. Apply
Loctite 425 to the nylon nut before installing it (a silicone bead, like for the older version
of Maxi Move, is an accepted substitute).
NOTE: DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE SLIDER NOR THE SET SCREW. This may
prevent the outer mast from sliding.
3) Raise and lower the column and listen for any abnormal noises. If needed, loosen the
setscrew to lower the pressure on the outer mast, but always check that the handle does not
have too much free play.
4) Replace the control box cover and the top plastic cover.

Service Procedure 16
Slider Adjustment Replacement
Fig.36
Four sliders are placed between the two extrusions to lower friction and to provide smooth
movement. The two sliders that take the load (lower front and upper rear) are attached and held
in hole in the extrusion. The other two sliders (lower rear and upper front) are mounted on an
adjustable mechanism that is used to remove the gap between the columns.
Adjusting Sliders
Verify the free play between the two extrusions. Too much play may indicate that the sliders
are worn or need adjustment. Check for any sign of grey powder residue or large scars on the
mast that may indicate excessive wear on the sliders. Replace if needed.
Upper slider
1) Remove the top plastic cap.
NOTE: Use a 10 mm ratchet key, with a minimum of 5 degrees needed turn to activate
the mechanism.
54
Service Procedures
2) Slowly turn the adjustment screw clockwise to add pressure over the slider. Try to raise and
lower the column during the adjustment to find the best adjustment. Too much pressure
will restrict the mast’s movement and too little will produce too much play between the
columns. You should get between 5 to 10 kg to move the column.
3) Replace top cover.
Lower slide
1) Remove control box (see SP 10).
2) Raise the mast until you see the hexagonal head of the adjustment screw through the hole of
the back plate.
3) Use a 10 mm socket to adjust the screw. Try to raise and lower the column during the
adjustment to find the best adjustment. To much pressure will restrict the mast’s movement
and too little will produce too much play between the column. You should get between 5 to
10 kg to move the column.
4) Replace control box (see SP 10).
Replacing Sliders
1) Remove mast completely from the base and remove the top casting outer mast (See SP15 –
Upper Limit)
2) Slowly push the inner mast upward. The inner mast must be approx. 50 mm (2”) out of the
top of the outer mast to access the slide. In this position, you can easily access the four
sliders.
3) Apply grease to the surface of each slider.
4) Insert the two upper sliders in the inner mast. The adjustable screw must be set to minimum.
Hold the two sliders with one hand and slowly push the inner mast until the sliders are
approx 10 mm (3/8”) engaged in the outer mast.
5) Go to the other end of the mast. Position two lower sliders and slowly draw the inner mast.
You may need to lift the inner mast approx. 1 mm to pass over the slider. Once all the
sliders are between the column they will not be able to fall. Adjust the sliders (see section
adjustment).
6) Reinstall top plastic cover (see SP 12 Top Cover Reassembly)
7) Reinstall column over the chassis (see SP 13 Mast Iinstallation.).
8) Raise and lower the column at least 5 times to ensure that the adjustment is correct.

Inspection
1) Remove the jib top cover. Use a 30 mm socket to check the torque on the M20 nut that
retains the lift support unit.
2) Check that a force between 2 and 3 kg is required to rotate the spreader bar in either
direction. If needed, adjust the M8 setscrew behind the combi adaptor to reach the required
force.
58
Service Procedures
3) Rotate the T-bar and verify that the washer is well seated on the bushing. A row of balls
inside the combi adaptor prevents the T-Bar from falling in case of any failure of the
bushing or the nut. If there is a gap between the washer and the bushing, change the
bushing or the nut.
4) Check that the jack-plug is securely connected inside the connector in the T-Bar. Rotate the
T-Bar while powering the DPS to check that the current is passing in each position.
T-Bar removal
1) Remove the jib to cover.
2) Disconnect the jack-plug for the T-Bar
3) Remove the T-Bar’s 4 mm setscrew as well as the M20 nut.
4) Remove the friction adjustment’s 10 mm (3/8”) setscrew, the spring and the nylon block.
5) Remove the battery and place the Maxi Move on its back.
6) Remove the 6 mm (1/4”) setscrew on the combi adaptor and rotate the T-Bar to remove the
five ball bearing balls within the T-Bar. This operation is easier if the bottom cover has been
removed.
NOTE: It is impossible to remove the T-Bar unless ALL the balls bearings are
extracted.
T-Bar installation
1) Reposition the Maxi Move into the upright position.
2) Take the new T-Bar (the bushing and the electric connector are already assembled) and slide
it inside the combi adaptor.
3) Replace the five ball bearing inside the combi adaptor and put back the setscrew (apply
loctite on the setscrew before replacing it).
4) Place the washer over the T-Bar. Use a new M20 nut to fix the T-bar. Then place the new
4 mm (3/16”) setscrew to secure the electric connector.
5) Place the nylon plug, the spring and the 10 mm (3/8”) setscrew inside the combi adaptor.
Adjust the friction so a force between 2 and 3 kg is needed to rotate the spreader bar.
Apply Loctite to the screw
6) Plus the electric connector. Rotate the T-Bar while powering the DPS a check that the
current is passing in each position.
7) Reinstall the top cover.
8) Perform a safe working load test if it is a new T-bar that is being installed. See SP 5 (local
