Front Upstop Wear Pad Shimming
1. Park the vehicle on level ground. Place the travel
select lever in the (N) NEUTRAL DETENT position, 
engage the parking brake switch and raise the boom 
to a horizontal (level) position.
2. Place an Accident Prevention Tag on both the
ignition switch and steering wheel, stating that the 
vehicle should not be operated. (Refer to Section 
1.5, “Accident Prevention Tag Usage.”)
3. Open the engine compartment cover. Allow the
engine, transmission and hydraulic fluid to cool.
4. If the vehicle has dual batteries, disconnect both
negative battery cables (12 and 13) from both 
batteries.
To access the lower battery (14), loosen the knob 
(15) far enough so that the lip (16) on the upper 
battery box clears the knob. Lift up the upper battery 
box (17) and swing it out, so that the box clears the 
hydraulic tank support bracket, to gain access to the 
lower negative battery cable (12). Disconnect the 
lower negative battery cable.
5. Remove capscrews (18), shims (19), and front wear
pads (20). Label their position for later replacement.
Note: New shims have a 0.06 inch (1,5 mm) thickness.
6. Add new shims to the left and/or right side shim
groups as required to achieve proper gap 
maximums. Spread shims evenly between the left 
and right shim groups.
7. Coat the capscrews (18) with Loctite
®
242 (blue).
Replace capscrews (18), shims (19), and front wear 
pads (20) in their previously labeled positions. 
Torque the capscrews to, 21 - 38 lb-ft (29 - 52 Nm).
8. If the vehicle has dual batteries, connect both
negative battery cables (12 and 13) to both 
batteries.
Connect the lower negative battery cable (12) to the 
negative (-) terminal on the lower battery (14). Swing 
the upper battery box (17) in and make sure that the 
lip (16) on the upper battery box slides below the 
knob (15). Secure in place with the knob (15).
9. Close and lock the engine compartment cover.
