General
This section contains a Maintenance Schedule and
the instructions for maintenance and inspection.
The Maintenance Schedule has time intervals for in-
spection, lubrication, and maintenance for your lift
truck. The service intervals are given both in oper-
ating hours recorded on the lift truck hourmeter and
in calendar time. The recommendation is to use the
interval that comes first.
The recommendation for the time intervals is for 8
hours of operation per day. The time intervals must
be decreased from the recommendations in the Main-
tenance Schedule for the following conditions:
• If the lift truck is used more than 8 hours per day
• If the lift truck must work in dirty operating con-
ditions
Your dealer for Hyster lift trucks has the equipment
and trained service personnel to do a complete pro-
gram of inspection, lubrication, and maintenance. A
regular program of inspection, lubrication, and main-
tenance will help your lift truck give more efficient
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 that are not correct can make
a dangerous operating condition.
WARNING
Do not operate a lift truck that needs repairs.
Report the need for repairs immediately. If re-
pair is necessary, put a DO NOT OPERATE tag
in the operator’s area. Remove the key from
the 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 lift
trucks to help users who do their own maintenance.
SERIAL NUMBER
The serial number for the lift truck is on the name-
plate and also on the front crossmember of the frame,
on the right-hand side.
HOW TO MOVE DISABLED LIFT TRUCK
How to Tow Lift Truck
WARNING
Use extra caution when towing a lift truck if
any of the following conditions exist:
• Brakes do not operate correctly.
• Steering does not operate correctly.
• Tires are damaged.
• Traction conditions are bad.
• The lift truck must be towed on a slope.
If the engine cannot run, there is no power
available for the hydraulic steering system
and the service brakes.
This condition can
make the lift truck difficult to steer and stop.
If the lift truck uses power from the engine to
help apply the brakes, the application of the
brakes will be more difficult. Poor traction can
cause the disabled lift truck or towing vehicle
to slide. A slope will also make the lift truck
more difficult to stop.
Never lift and move a disabled lift truck unless
the disabled lift truck MUST be moved and
cannot be towed.
A lift truck used to move
a disabled lift truck MUST have a capacity
rating equal to or greater than the weight of
the disabled lift truck. The capacity of the lift
truck used to move a disabled lift truck must
have a load center equal to half the width of
the disabled lift truck. See the nameplate of
the disabled lift truck for the approximate
total weight. The forks must extend the full
width of the disabled lift truck. Put the weight
center of the disabled lift truck on load center
of the forks.
Be careful to not damage the
underside of the lift truck.
1.
The towed lift truck must have an operator.
2.
Tow the lift truck slowly.
3.
Raise carriage and forks approximately 30 cm
(12 in.) from the surface. Install a chain to pre-
vent carriage and mast channels from moving.
4.
If another lift truck is used to tow the disabled lift
truck, that lift truck must have an equal or larger
capacity than the disabled lift truck. Install ap-
proximately 1/2 of a capacity load on forks of lift
truck that is being used to tow disabled lift truck.
