This section contains a Maintenance Schedule and
the instructions for maintenance and inspection.
The Maintenance Schedule has time intervals for
inspection, lubrication, and maintenance for your
lift truck. The service intervals are provided in both
operating hours recorded on the lift truck
hourmeter, and in calendar time. Use the interval
that occurs first.
The recommendation for the time intervals are for
8 hours of operation per day. The time intervals
must be decreased from the recommendations in
the Maintenance Schedule for the following
conditions:
• The lift truck is used more than eight hours
per day.
• The lift truck must work in dirty operating
conditions.
• Poor ground conditions.
• Intensive usage at high performance levels
or other abnormal conditions will require
more frequent servicing.
Your dealer for Hyster lift trucks will advise you on
the maintenance time intervals based on their
survey of the application.
Your dealer for Hyster lift trucks has the
equipment and trained service personnel to do a
complete program of inspection, lubrication, and
maintenance. A regular program of inspection,
lubrication, and maintenance will help your lift
truck provide more efficient 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
Manuals are available from your dealer for Hyster
lift trucks to help users who do their own
maintenance.
