SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
• The Service Manuals are updated on a regular basis, but may not reflect recent design changes to the prod-
uct. Updated technical service information may be available from your local authorized Hyster® dealer. Service
Manuals provide general guidelines for maintenance and service and are intended for use by trained and expe-
rienced technicians. Failure to properly maintain equipment or to follow instructions contained in the Service
Manual could result in damage to the products, personal injury, property damage or death.

• When lifting parts or assemblies, make sure all slings, chains, or cables are correctly fastened, and that the load
being lifted is balanced. Make sure the crane, cables, and chains have the capacity to support the weight of the
load.

• Do not lift heavy parts by hand, use a lifting mechanism.

• Wear safety glasses.

• DISCONNECT THE BATTERY CONNECTOR before doing any maintenance or repair on electric lift trucks.
Disconnect the battery ground cable on internal combustion lift trucks.

• Always use correct blocks to prevent the unit from rolling or falling. See HOW TO PUT THE LIFT TRUCK ON
BLOCKS in the Operating Manual or the Periodic Maintenance section.

• Keep the unit clean and the working area clean and orderly.

• Use the correct tools for the job.

• Keep the tools clean and in good condition.

• Always use HYSTER APPROVED parts when making repairs. Replacement parts must meet or exceed the
specifications of the original equipment manufacturer.

• Make sure all nuts, bolts, snap rings, and other fastening devices are removed before using force to remove parts.

• Always fasten a DO NOT OPERATE tag to the controls of the unit when making repairs, or if the unit needs
repairs.

• Be sure to follow the WARNING and CAUTION notes in the instructions.

• Gasoline, Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG), Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), and Diesel fuel are flammable. Be sure
to follow the necessary safety precautions when handling these fuels and when working on these fuel systems.

• Batteries generate flammable gas when they are being charged. Keep fire and sparks away from the area. Make
sure the area is well ventilated.

NOTE: The following symbols and words indicate safety information in this
manual:

WARNING
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in
death or serious injury.

CAUTION
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in
minor or moderate injury and property damage.

On the lift truck, the WARNING symbol and word are on orange back-
ground. The CAUTION symbol and word are on yellow background.

from operator provides Forward Travel. Pulling
the handle toward operator provides Reverse
Travel. The travel speed for both forward and re-
verse directions is proportional to the distance the
handle is moved; the further the distance, the faster
the lift truck travels.

NOTE: Diagonal movement of handle will control


both travel and a hydraulic function simultaneously.

The control handle also controls the lift/lower func-


tions. When the control handle is pushed downward,
the carriage lowers. When the handle is pulled up-
ward, the carriage lifts. The speed of the mast is pro-
portional to the distance the control handle is moved.

NOTE: The hydraulic oil must drained well below the


height of the hoses being removed before servicing.
Refer to Drain for the proper procedures for your lift
truck. Oil will remain in the hoses even when the
hydraulic system has been drained.

Visually inspect the hoses for leaks. Small oil leaks


may appear as wet, oily leaks or unusually dirty ar-
eas where dirt and dust sticks to oil that has slowly
leaked out. Check around fittings and hose con-
nections for seeping oil. Replace hoses immediately
when damage or significant wear is found. Loosen

The front selector valve is located in the front frame
of the reach carriage assembly. It is secured to a cover
plate with three capscrews. A relay is mounted below
the front selector valve on the cover plate. The cover
plate is mounted to the front of the front frame, just
above the tilting frame. See Figure 22.
