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. Disconnect the battery connec-
tor.

This section contains theMaintenance Schedule in-
structions for maintenance and inspection.
The Maintenance Schedule has time intervals for in-
spection, lubrication, and maintenance. The time
intervals are based on a normal operation. A nor-
mal operation is considered to be one 8-hour shift
per day in a relatively clean environment on an im-
proved surface. Multiple shifts, dirty operating con-
ditions, etc., will require a reduction in the recom-
mended time periods in the Maintenance Schedule.
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 provide more effi-
cient performance and operate for a longer period of
time.
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 DATA
The serial number code for the lift truck is on the
nameplate. The code is also stamped on top of the
rear bulkhead of the frame. It is on the bulkhead
inside the right rear leg of the overhead guard.
HOW TO MOVE A DISABLED LIFT TRUCK
How to Tow a 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 moved on a steep
grade.
If the steering pump motor does not operate,
steering control of the lift truck can be slow
and difficult. Do NOT tow the lift truck if there
is no power. Poor traction can cause the dis-
abled lift truck or towing vehicle to slide. Steep
grades will require additional brake force to
stop the lift truck.
Never carry a disabled lift truck unless the lift
truck MUST be moved and cannot be towed.
The lift truck used to carry the disabled lift
truck MUST have a rated capacity equal to
or greater than the weight of the disabled
lift truck.
The capacity must be for 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 the load center of the
forks. Do not damage the underside of the lift
truck.
1.
The towed lift truck must have an operator.
2.
Raise the carriage and forks approximately
300 mm (12 in.) from the surface. Install a chain
to prevent the carriage and mast channels from
moving.
3.
Tow with another lift truck of equal or greater ca-
pacity than the disabled lift truck. Install a load
of approximately half-capacity on the forks of the
lift truck that is being used to tow the disabled
lift truck. The half-capacity load will increase the
traction of the lift truck. Keep the load as low as
possible.
