Disposal of batteries must meet local environmental regulations
This section contains theMaintenance Schedule instructions for maintenance and inspection. The Maintenance Schedule has time intervals for inspection, lubrication, and maintenance. The time intervals are based on a normal operation. A normal operation is considered to be one 8-hour shift per day in a relatively clean environment on an improved surface. Multiple shifts, dirty operating conditions, etc., will require a reduction in the recommended time periods in the Maintenance Schedule.
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, Hyster J40-65Z, B416 Maintenance Manual,Hyster J40-65Z,hyster forklift,hyster forklift models.
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
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 disabled 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.
- The towed lift truck must have an operator.
- 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.
- Tow with another lift truck of equal or greater capacity 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.
- Use a towing link made of steel that fastens to the tow pins in the counterweights of both lift trucks.
- Release the parking brake.
- Tow the lift truck slowly.
HOW TO PUT LIFT TRUCK ON BLOCKS
The lift truck must be put on blocks for some types of maintenance and repair. The removal of the following assemblies will cause large changes in the center of gravity: mast, drive axle, battery, or counterweight. When the lift truck is put on blocks, put additional blocks in the following positions to maintain stability:
- Before removing the mast and drive axle, put blocks under the counterweight so the lift truck cannot fall backward.
- Before removing the counterweight, put blocks under the mast assembly so the lift truck cannot fall forward.
The surface must be solid, even, and level when the lift truck is put on blocks. Make sure that any blocks used to support the lift truck are solid, one-piece units. NOTE: Some lift trucks have lifting eyes. These lift points can be used to raise the lift truck so that blocks can be installed.
- Put blocks on each side (front and back) of the steering tires to prevent movement of the lift truck. See Figure 1.
- Put the mast in a vertical position. Put a block under each outer mast channel.
- Tilt the mast fully forward until the drive tires are raised from the surface.
- Put additional blocks under the frame behind the drive tires.
- If the hydraulic system will not operate, use a hydraulic jack under the side of the frame near the front. Make sure that the jack has a capacity equal to at least half the weight of the lift truck. See the nameplate.
