If the lift truck is equipped with a 3-stage mast, in circumstances where
overhead clearance is restricted, be sure inner mast/carriage does not
extend before full free lift of the mast is reached.
NOTE: Cold hydraulic oil and high oil flow rates may cause the inner mast to
extend above the outer mast before full free lift is reached. The hydraulic oil must
be hot if the lift truck is to be operated where overhead clearance is restricted.
To assure hydraulic oil is hot, operate mast at full lift speed and observe for
movement of the inner mast before full free lift is reached. If any inner mast
movement occurs, fully lower carriage, place the transmission into neutral, set the
park brake, and then hold the tilt mini-lever fully open at engine governed speed
for approximately 3 minutes.
Repeat above procedure until no movement of the inner mast is observed, then

Operating Procedures
Do not turn on an incline. To reduce
the possibility of a tipover, a lift truck
must not be driven across an
incline.
When possible, keep both hands on
the steering wheel. During most
loading or unloading operations, the
operator steers with the left hand.
A. TAIL SWING The right hand is used to operate the lift, tilt, and attach-
ment controls.
Because lift trucks are designed to work in a relatively
small space, they can turn sharper than some other vehi-
cles. Most lift trucks are steered by the rear wheels and the
rear of the lift truck can move to the side very fast during a
turn. This movement is called "tail swing". An operator
must be aware of tail swing and always check to make sure
the tail swing area is clear before turning. Failure to
observe the tail swing area when making a turn can lead to
injury or death. When turning the lift truck from a wide aisle into a narrow
aisle, start the turn as close to the opposite stock pile as
tail swing will permit. This action permits the lift truck to
enter the narrow aisle going straight ahead.

Operating Procedures
Make sure that the load is centered between the forks.
Make sure that the forks do not extend past the load so
that loads or equipment that are behind the load being lif-
ted are not damaged. Lift the load a small distance from
the floor to make sure the lift truck has the capacity to lift
the load.
3. When a load is put on the floor, tilt the mast forward to a
vertical position and lower the load. Tilt the mast forward to
permit smooth removal of the forks. Carefully move the lift
truck backward to remove the forks from under the load.

A. BE CAREFUL OF FORKS BEYOND THE LOAD

If the forks are longer than the load, move the forks under
the load so that the tips of the forks do not extend beyond
the load. Lift the load from the surface. Move backward a
few inches, then lower the load onto the surface and inch
forward to engage the load against the carriage. Tilt the
mast backward just far enough to lift the load from the sur-
face. 4. If the load is being removed from a stack, slowly move
the lift truck away from the stack. When the load is clear of

clear the ground or obstacles.
When the mast, carriage, or load is in a raised position, the
stability of the lift truck is reduced. This is also critical when
the lift truck is not carrying a load. The ability of the lift truck
to resist side tipping can be less on a lift truck without a
load than it is on a lift truck with a load in the lowered
(travel) position. Therefore, a lift truck without a load is
more likely to tip sideways, especially in a turn, than a lift
truck with a load carried in the lowered position.

WARNING a heavily loaded lift truck, keep the load upgrade to main-
tain control.
Some lift trucks have mirrors for viewing along the
side to observe the tail swing area. These mirrors are
an aid to the driver, but are NOT driving mirrors and
must NOT be used as such when operating in reverse.

NOTE 1: Check fuel system for leaks prior to any service or maintenance activity.
NOTE 2: Heavy-duty or high-temperature operations require more frequent checks.
NOTE 3: Heavy-duty or contaminated applications will require hydraulic oil change at 2000 hours.
NOTE 4: Change engine oil and filter after first 100 hours of operation. Change transmission oil filter after first 500 hours of operation.
NOTE 5: Recommended service intervals are based on a normal application in a clean environment. Applications involving contaminated environments
such as high levels of airborne debris (dust and waste paper); chemical or abrasive compounds; poor ground conditions; intensive usage at high perform-
ance levels; or other abnormal conditions will require more frequent servicing. At your request, your Hyster dealer will advise you of the appropriate
service intervals based on an application survey.
NOTE 6: In dirty or dusty environments, replace at 1000 hours or as needed.
NOTE 7: Multipurpose grease with 2 to 4% Molybdenum Disulfide.
NOTE 8: Vehicles used in paper application require regular inspection and cleaning to minimize risk of fire. This should be done at least once every 8
hours or more frequently depending upon operating environment. Use compressed air and steam clean as necessary.
NOTE 9: Lubricate mast every three months if unit has less than 1000 hours.
NOTE 10: Lubricate if dry or at first sign of visible surface rust.
NOTE 11: Do not open the air filter canister except to change the air filter element. See the Periodic Maintenance Manual for your lift truck for the correct
procedure to change air filter element.

and water content guidelines. For lift trucks operating in heavy duty applications or highly contaminated environments, take oil samples every 500 hours.
Normal operating conditions may allow for less frequent oil sampling. Oil sampling should be done just prior to all oil and filter changes.
NOTE 17: Check at 1500 hours. Use hour interval only.
NOTE 18: Replace filter at 8000 hours. Use hour interval only.
NOTE 19: If lift truck is used in Paper application use ONLY JDM J20C type fluid for both the transmission and hydraulic system.

1. Inspect the forks for cracks and wear. Check that the
fork tips are aligned as shown in Figure 46. Check that the
bottom of the fork is not worn (Item 4 in Figure 46).
2. Replace any damaged or broken parts that are used to
keep the forks locked in position. See Figure 48.
3. Inspect fork wear. Ensure heel wear is not more than
10% of original thickness. If fork wear is more than 10%,
fork must be replaced or rerated. Perform fork wear inspec-
tion using a BOL256N1 caliper ruler Hyster P/N 4092984
as follows. See Figure 47.
a. Determine normal thickness of "N" of fork using scale
or ruler portion of caliper ruler. Measurement has to be
done on fork shank using caliper ruler.
b. Position caliper at end of heel internal radius (item 4,
Figure 46) with opening corresponding to measured
thickness of fork shank in Step a above. (e.g. for N 1.75
use N 1.75 opening). This is typically the section of fork
where wear is greatest. Note that opening distance has
been reduced by 10% from nominal thickness.

NOTE: Some lift trucks have dual drive wheels. The follow-
ing procedures describe the steps to install the dual sets of
wheels.
1. Install inner wheel on hub. If the wheels are the two-
piece rims, make sure nuts that fasten rim halves together
are toward brake drum when they are installed.
2. Install wheel adapter spacers on the inner wheel studs
and tighten spacers to 100 to 125 N•m (74 to 92 lbf ft).
Install the dual hub assembly and inner wheel nuts on the
spacers and tighten the wheel nuts to 610 to 680 N•m (450
to 500 lbf ft). See Figure 58.
3. Install outer wheel on dual hub assembly. Tighten nuts
to a torque value of 610 to 680 N•m (450 to 500 lbf ft). If
the wheels are the two-piece rims, make sure nuts that fas-
ten rim halves together are toward brake drum when they
