General
This section contains a Maintenance Schedule and
the instructions for maintenance and inspection.
The Maintenance Schedule has time intervals for
inspection, lubrication, and maintenance for your
ReachStacker®. The recommendation for the time
intervals are for 8 hours of operation per day. The
time intervals must be decreased from the recom-
mendations in the Maintenance Schedule for the
following conditions:
• If the ReachStacker is used more than 8 hours per
day.
• If the ReachStacker must work in dirty operating
conditions.
Your dealer for Hyster ReachStackers has the equip-
ment and trained personnel to do a complete program
of inspection, lubrication, and maintenance. A reg-
ular program of inspection, lubrication, and main-
tenance will help your ReachStacker give more effi-
cient performance and operate for a longer period of
time.
WARNING
Do not make repairs or adjustments unless you
have both authorization and training. Repairs
and adjustments made on a ReachStacker by
people without authorization and training can
make a dangerous operating condition.
Do not operate a ReachStacker that needs re-
pairs. Report the need for repairs immediately.
If repair is necessary, put a DO NOT OPERATE
tag in the operator’s area. Remove key from
key switch.
Some users have service personnel and equipment
to do the inspection, lubrication, and maintenance
shown in the Maintenance Schedule. Service Man-
uals are available from your dealer for Hyster
ReachStackers to help users who do their own main-
tenance.
SERIAL NUMBER DATA
The serial number for the ReachStacker is on the Ca-
pacity Plate. It is also on a channel on the right side
of the engine compartment, behind the cab. The se-
rial number indicates the design series, manufactur-
ing plant, and the year manufactured.
General
Example: A222 E 1509 U
(1) (2) (3) (4)
(1) The first letter and number of the serial number
indicates the design series and the model number of
the ReachStacker.
(2) The second letter identifies the manufacturing
plant. Examples: E=Nijmegen, The Netherlands
(3) The number series indicates the sequence of man-
ufacture where the vehicle was made.
(4) The letter indicates the year of manufacture start-
ing with A=1980. The letter L=1990, M=1991, and
N=1992. (The letters I, O, and Q are not used.)
ENGINE SHUTOFF SYSTEM
CAUTION
To lower the boom and, if necessary, to move
a disabled ReachStacker, the Start Engine
switch can override the engine shutoff system.
Override the engine shutoff system by going
through the Starting Procedures, but do not
release the Start Engine Switch when engine
is running.
The engine will shut off automatically when the
coolant temperature is approximately 105 C (221 F)
or when the engine oil pressure is below 0.25 bar
(3.6 psi).
HOW TO MOVE DISABLED
REACHSTACKER
WARNING
Manual release of the parking brake caliper
will result in loss of brakes.
The service brake system requires hydraulic pres-
sure to operate. The park brake will automatically
apply when hydraulic pressure drops. If there is no
hydraulic pressure to release the parking brake, the
parking brake caliper must be manually released.
Put blocks on both sides (front and back) of the drive
tires to prevent movement of the ReachStacker. The
park brake caliper is installed at the back of the dif-
ferential housing. To manually release the parking
brake, remove cotter pin from bolt in caliper. Tighten
nut to compress spring that applies brake.

HOW TO MAKE CHECKS WITH ENGINE
STOPPED
WARNING
Do not operate a ReachStacker that needs re-
pairs. Report the need for repairs immediately.
If repair is necessary, put a DO NOT OPERATE
tag in the operator’s area. Remove key from
key switch.
Put ReachStacker on level surface. Fully lower and
retract boom, stop engine, and apply parking brake.
Do all checks outside of engine compartment first.
Open hood and check for leaks and conditions that
are not normal. Clean any oil or fuel spills. Verify
that dirt and other materials are removed from en-
gine compartment.
Tires and Wheels
WARNING
Air pressure in tires can cause tire and wheel
parts to explode. Explosion of wheel parts can
cause serious injury or death.
Remove all air from tires before tires are re-
moved from ReachStacker.
If air pressure is less than 80% of correct air
pressure, tire must be removed before air is
added. Put tire in safety cage when adding air
pressure to tire. Follow procedures described
in Add Air to Tires.
When air is added to tires, use a remote air
chuck. The person adding air must stand away
and to the side and not in front of tire.
Keep tires at correct air pressure. See Figure 4.
See capacity plate. Check air pressure with a gauge
when tires are cold. If it is necessary to add air to
a tire that is warm, check one of the other tires on
the same axle and add air to the tire that has low
pressure so that the air pressures are equal. The air
pressure of the warm tires must always be equal to
or greater than the specification for air pressure for
cold tires.
8
8000 SRM 950
1. CHECK TIRE PRESSURE
2. CHECK FOR DAMAGE (REMOVE NAILS,
GLASS, AND OTHER OBJECTS FROM TREAD)
Figure 4. Tires Check
Check tires for damage. Inspect tread and remove
any objects that will cause damage. Check for bent
or damaged rims. Check for loose or missing parts.
Remove any wire, straps, or other material wrapped
around axle.
CAUTION
Check all wheel nuts after 2 to 5 hours of
operation: when new ReachStackers begin op-
eration and on all ReachStackers when wheels
have been removed and installed. Tighten
nuts in a cross pattern to correct torque value
shown in Maintenance Schedule. When nuts
stay tight for eight hours, the interval for
checking torque can be extended to 250 hours.
Verify wheel nuts are tight. Tighten wheel nuts in a
cross pattern to correct torque value shown in Main-
tenance Schedule.
Safety Labels
WARNING
Safety labels are installed on the ReachStacker
to give information about operation and possi-
ble hazards. It is important that all safety la-
bels are installed on the ReachStacker and can
be read.
Check that all safety labels are installed in correct
locations on ReachStacker. See Parts Manual or
Frame section of Service Manual for correct loca-
tions of safety labels.
8000 SRM 950
If new labels must be installed, use the following pro-
cedures:
WARNING
Cleaning solvents can be flammable and toxic
and can cause skin irritation. When using
cleaning solvents, always follow the recom-
mendations of the manufacturer.
1. Verify surface is dry and has no oil or grease. Do
not use solvent on new paint. Clean surface of
old paint with cleaning solvent.
2. Remove paper from back of label. Do not touch
adhesive surface.
3. Carefully hold label in correct position above sur-
face. Label cannot be moved after it touches sur-
face. Put label on surface. Verify that all air is
removed from under label and corners and edges
are tight.
Check for Fuel, Oil, or Coolant Leaks
WARNING
All fuels are very flammable and can burn or
cause an explosion. Do not use an open flame
to check fuel level or to check for leaks in fuel
system. If there is a leak in fuel system, extra
care must be used during repair. Do not oper-
ate ReachStacker until a leak is repaired.
Make a visual check for leaks on and under Reach-
Stacker. If possible, find and repair leak at source.
Leaks can indicate a need for repair of damaged or
worn components.
Check fuel system for leaks and condition of parts.
When fuel is added to ReachStacker, see How to
Add Fuel to ReachStacker in Operating Man-
ual.
Also check condition of radiator or heater hoses. Re-
place soft or cracked hoses.
Drive Belts
Verify key is in OFF position and engine is stopped.
Check drive belt for wear and damage. See Figure 5.
Small cracks that run across belt are acceptable. A
drive belt with cracks that run length of belt or a belt
with missing pieces is not acceptable.
Check drive belt for correct tension.
Maintenance Procedures Every 8 Hours or Daily
1. ACCEPTABLE CRACKS
2. NOT ACCEPTABLE CRACKS AND DAMAGE
Figure 5. Drive Belt
Battery
A check of the battery electrolyte level is nor-
mally required only every 250 hours of operation.
Heavy-duty or high-temperature operations will
require more frequent checks. It is not necessary
to check the electrolyte level on a maintenance-free
battery. A low electrolyte level can cause the dis-
charge indicator light to come on or cause battery
damage during ReachStacker operation.
WARNING
The acid in the electrolyte can cause injury.
If the electrolyte is spilled, use water to flush
the area. Use a solution of sodium bicarbonate
(soda) to make acid neutral. Acid in the eyes
must be flushed with water immediately. Wear
eye protection.
Batteries generate explosive fumes. Keep
vents in caps clean. Keep sparks or open flame
away from battery area. Do not make sparks
from battery connections. Disconnect battery
ground cable when doing maintenance.
CAUTION
Disposal of batteries must meet local environ-
mental regulations.
Keep battery and cable terminals clean. Check elec-
trolyte level (unless maintenance-free battery). Keep
electrolyte level above separators and plates. Use
distilled water. Do not fill battery more than to bot-
tom of internal filler neck.
9
Maintenance Procedures Every 8 Hours or Daily
If battery becomes discharged and requires a booster
battery to start engine, follow these procedures care-
fully when connecting jumper cables:
1. Always connect positive jumper cable to positive
terminal of discharged battery and negative
jumper cable to negative terminal.
2. Always connect jumper cable that is the ground
cable last.
3. Always connect jumper cables to discharged bat-
tery before connecting them to booster battery.
Engine Oil
Check oil level in engine daily. After engine has
stopped, wait one minute before checking oil level.
Keep oil at correct level as indicated on dipstick. Use
correct oil as shown in Maintenance Schedule.
Drain Water from Fuel Filter
CAUTION
Disposal of lubricants and fluids must meet lo-
cal environmental regulations.
Open drain valve on bottom of fuel filter. Drain some
fuel (and any water) into a container until clean fuel
flows from filter. Close drain valve.
Hydraulic System
WARNING
At operating temperature hydraulic oil is HOT.
Hot hydraulic oil can cause severe burns to the
skin.
CAUTION
Do not permit dirt to enter hydraulic system
when oil level is checked or filter is changed.
Never operate hydraulic pump without oil
in hydraulic system. Operation of hydraulic
pump without oil will damage pump.
The oil level gauge is on the outside of the hydraulic
tank. Keep oil level between the two marks when all
cylinders are retracted.
Check hydraulic system for leaks and damaged or
loose components.

8000 SRM 950
Cooling System
WARNING
DO NOT remove the cap from the auxiliary
coolant reservoir when the engine is hot.
When the cap is removed, the pressure is re-
leased from the system. If the system is hot,
the steam and boiling coolant can cause burns.
Check coolant level at auxiliary coolant reservoir
near radiator. If coolant is added, use correct mix-
ture of water and ethylene glycol shown in the
Maintenance Schedule.
WARNING
Compressed air can move particles so that they
cause injury to the user or to other personnel.
Verify that the path of the compressed air is
away from all personnel. Wear protective gog-
gles or a face shield to prevent injury to the
eyes.
Check radiator fins. Clean radiator with compressed
air or water as needed.
Air Filter
Check the indicator light for the air filter during op-
eration. When the amber light comes on, the filters
are dirty. Clean or install new air filter elements
as necessary. Use compressed air to clean filter el-
ements. Air pressure must be less than 210 kPa
(30 psi). Apply air from inside to outside of filter el-
ement.
Inspect filter element. Put a bright light inside
the filter element and look for holes or other dam-
age. If filter element is damaged, install a new filter
element. Use a cloth with solvent to clean the inside
of the canister before the filter element is installed.
