7.2.1. Recommended oil flow and hose diameter
A trademark of Meijer Special Equipment
Table 7.1 shows what the recommended hose diameter is at a certain oil flow for the telescopic forks
with a separate flow divider. The recommended flow divider type is also shown.

RE2/REE2/RE4/REE4 8 – 25 ¼” RE0100000
Table 7.1 Which hoses and flow divider to use for which oil flow
If the oil flow is more than 25 l/min, it will have little effect on the speed. It is also recommended to stay
below this value, so that the pump does not constantly have to deliver the maximum pressure and so
no oil pumps through the safety valve to the tank. This will also require less energy.
7.2.2. Putting the telescopic forks into operation
First you should make sure that there is no more air in the system. You can do this in the following
way:
Extend and retract the telescopic forks ten times.
Bend the mast of the fork-lift truck several times forward and backward.
Extend and retract the telescopic forks ten times.
Then control if the hoses can go all over long enough and check if the system leaks no oil.
7.3. Protecting the telescopic forks
To avoid that the telescopic forks come into contact with the ground we advise to place a plastic
sleeve on the lift cylinder in such a way that the telescopic forks just do not contact the ground. The
lifting chains of the fork-lift truck can be somewhat shortened, which will have the same effect. Always
consult your dealer or manufacturer if you want to perform such a modification.
