Guide Peg Adjustment
Annually check for wear on guide pegs (9, Figure 6-1 and 1, Figure 6-2) and replace or
retighten as necessary. If any of the masts exhibit excessive side sway, it is probable that
the guide pegs need adjustment. The guide pegs should be adjusted so that there is no air
gap between the guide peg and the mast. There are 8 adjustable guide pegs per aluminum
mast and 12 adjustable guide pegs on the steel mast. The adjustment procedure is the
same for all guide pegs. Refer to Figure 4-9.
1. Using an allen wrench, turn the set screws in (clockwise). This will push the
guide peg in against the mast. Do not overtighten.
2. Check all guide pegs and make adjustments as necessary.
3. After all adjustments are made, fully extend the lift. If the platform can be low-
ered without stopping, then the guide pegs are properly adjusted.

NOTE: The plastic guide pegs in the mast are made of a bearing material which
has a high degree of lubricity and need only be kept clean. However,
precautions should be taken to ensure that the paths along which the
guide pegs move are kept clean and lightly lubricated with a dry type
silicon lubricant.
