PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
GENERAL
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 recommendation for the time intervals are for
eight hours of operation per day. The time intervals must
be decreased from the recommendations in the MAIN-
TENANCE SCHEDULE for the following conditions:
a. If the lift truck is used more than eight hours per
day.
b. 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 program of
inspection, lubrication, and maintenance. A regular pro-
gram of inspection, lubrication, and maintenance will
help your lift truck give 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.
WARNING
Do not make repairs or adjustments unless you have
both authorization and training. Repairs and ad-
justments that are not correct can make a dangerous
operating condition.
Do not operate a lift truck that needs repairs. Report
the need for repairs immediately. If repair is neces-
sary, put a “DO NOT OPERATE” tag in the opera-
tor’s area. Remove the key from the key switch.
SERIAL NUMBER DATA
The serial number for the lift truck is found on the name-
plate and also on the right–hand side of the frame near
the counterweight.
HOW TO MOVE A DISABLED LIFT TRUCK
WARNING
Use extra caution when towing a lift truck if any of
the following conditions exist:
a. Brakes do not operate correctly.
b. Steering does not operate correctly.
c. Tires are damaged.
d. Traction conditions are bad.
e. 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 diffi-
cult to steer and stop. If the lift truck uses power
from the engine to help apply the brakes, the applica-
tion of the brakes will be more difficult. Poor trac-
tion can cause the disabled lift truck or towing vehi-
cle 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 capac-
ity 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
under side of the lift truck.
How To Tow the Lift Truck
1. The towed lift truck must have an operator.
2. Tow the lift truck slowly.
3. Raise the carriage and forks approximately 30 cm (12
inches) from the surface. Install a chain to prevent the
carriage and mast channels from moving.
