Raymond 740DR32TT:
Fork slam

Forks slam the floor or bottom of mast when fully lowered. I have three lifts doing this and the other three buffer close to the floor.
I cannot find this solution in the maintenance manual. Am I missing an adjustment somewhere?

Make sure to get new updated cushions. They are much stronger. You need heat to remove the old ones. The cyls can be removed from the tubes without removing the entire free lift cyls. Use a magnet to remove steel filings. You will find some filings in hyd filter too.
