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 Main-
tenance Schedule. Service Manuals are available from
your dealer for Yale lift trucks to help users who do their own
maintenance.
Serial Number Data

How to Move a Disabled Lift Truck
WARNING
Use extra caution when towing a lift truck if any of the
following conditions exist:
1. Brakes do not operate correctly.
2. Steering does not operate correctly.
3. Tires are damaged.
4. Traction conditions are bad.
5. The lift truck must be towed on a slope.
If the engine cannot run, there is no power available for
the hydraulic steering system. This condition can make
the lift truck difficult to steer. 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 disa-
bled 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 Name-
plate of the disabled lift truck for the approximate total
weight. The forks must extend the full width of the disa-
bled lift truck. Put the weight center of the disabled lift
truck on load center of the forks. Be careful to not dam-
age 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. Using a lift truck or a lifting device that can be attached to
the mast (i.e., come-a-long), raise the carriage and forks
