Welding Repairs
WARNING
Disconnect the battery connector and remove the
battery before welding. Welding can cause a fire
and/or an explosion. Make sure there is no fuel,
oil, or grease near the weld area. Make sure the
area is well ventilated.
Forklift truck frames and components may have
polyurethane paint. Welding, burning, or other
heat sufficient to cause thermal decomposition of
the paint may release isocyanates. These chemi-
cals are allergic sensitizers to skin and respira-
tory tract and overexposure may occur without
odor warning. When performing work, utilize good
industrial hygiene practices, including removal of
all paint (prime and finish coats) to the metal
around the area to be welded. Use local ventila-
tion, and/or supplied-air respiratory protection.
CAUTION
All welding repairs must pre-approved by Hys-
ter™ company Contact Management.
Always disconnect the battery connector to pre-
vent damage to circuit components when welding.
Connect the welding ground clamp as close to the
weld area as possible to prevent welding current
from damaging components.
Observe the previous WARNING and CAUTION
before performing any welding repairs.
