CHECKS AND INSPECTION PROCEDURES
WARNING
DO NOT make repairs or adjustments to the
lift truck unless you been properly trained and
specifically authorized to do so. Repairs and
adjustments that are not performed correctly
can create dangerous operating conditions.
DO NOT operate a lift truck that needs repairs.
Report the need for repairs to your supervisor
immediately. If repair is necessary, put a DO
NOT OPERATE tag on the control handle. Re-
move the key from the key switch.
CAUTION
Disposal of lubricants and fluids must meet lo-
cal environmental regulations.
Trucks operating in non-standard or severe
applications may require special optional envi-
ronmental packages, additional maintenance
procedures, more frequent service intervals
and/or special lubricants.
The Recommended Schedule of Maintenance is lo-
cated in this section. The Maintenance Schedule has
the time intervals for inspection, lubrication, and
maintenance. The Maintenance Schedule is based
on normal operations. Severe or unusual operating
conditions will require a reduction in the recom-
mended time periods in the Maintenance Schedule.
Your Hyster
®
dealer has the facilities and trained
personnel to do complete lift truck maintenance.
A complete program of inspection, lubrication, and
maintenance will help your lift truck perform ef-
ficiently and operate over a longer period of time.
Service manuals are available from your Hyster
dealer to help users who do their own maintenance.
Put the lift truck on a level surface. Lower the forks,
turn the key switch to the OFF position and discon-
nect the battery. Remove the hood. If repair is re-
quired, attach a DO NOT OPERATE tag to the con-
trol handle. DO NOT operate a lift truck until all
repairs have been performed.
