SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
• The Service Manuals are updated on a regular basis, but may not reflect recent design changes to the
product. Updated technical service information may be available from your local authorized Hyster®
dealer. Service Manuals provide general guidelines for maintenance and service and are intended for
use by trained and experienced technicians. Failure to properly maintain equipment or to follow in-
structions contained in the Service Manual could result in damage to the products, personal injury,
property damage or death.
• When lifting parts or assemblies, make sure all slings, chains, or cables are correctly fastened, and
that the load being lifted is balanced. Make sure the crane, cables, and chains have the capacity to
support the weight of the load.
• Do not lift heavy parts by hand, use a lifting mechanism.
• Wear safety glasses.
• DISCONNECT THE BATTERY CONNECTOR before doing any maintenance or repair on electric lift
trucks. Disconnect the battery ground cable on internal combustion lift trucks.
• Always use correct blocks to prevent the unit from rolling or falling. See HOW TO PUT THE LIFT
TRUCK ON BLOCKS in the Operating Manual or the Periodic Maintenance section.
• Keep the unit clean and the working area clean and orderly.
• Use the correct tools for the job.
• Keep the tools clean and in good condition.
• Always use HYSTER APPROVED parts when making repairs. Replacement parts must meet or ex-
ceed the specifications of the original equipment manufacturer.
• Make sure all nuts, bolts, snap rings, and other fastening devices are removed before using force to
remove parts.
• Always fasten a DO NOT OPERATE tag to the controls of the unit when making repairs, or if the unit
needs repairs.
• Be sure to follow the WARNING and CAUTION notes in the instructions.
• Gasoline, Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG), Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), and Diesel fuel are flamma-
ble. Be sure to follow the necessary safety precautions when handling these fuels and when working
on these fuel systems.
• Batteries generate flammable gas when they are being charged. Keep fire and sparks away from the
area. Make sure the area is well ventilated.

NOTE: The following symbols and words indicate safety information in this
manual:

WARNING
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death
or serious injury.

CAUTION
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor
or moderate injury and property damage.

On the lift truck, the WARNING symbol and word are on orange back-
ground. The CAUTION symbol and word are on yellow background.

CLUTCH

The clutches consist of a drum which carries a pis-


ton and steel discs with external splines, and a hub
which carries friction discs with internal splines.
See Figure 5.

Friction discs and steel discs are installed in alter-


nate order.

By pressurizing the clutch piston, the friction discs


and steel discs are clamped together, which cause
the hub and drum to rotate as one unit. Also the
gears attached to the hub and clutch will rotate as
one unit to transfer engine power.

Clutch Valve

The function of the clutch valve is to transfer sys-


tem pressure to the clutches according the electri-
cal signal from the transmission controller. See Fig-
ure 8.

The varying signal from the transmission controller


operates the pressure regulator proportionally.
When activated, the pressure regulator closes,
causing pilot pressure at the operating valve to
rise, resulting in the transfer of system pressure to
the clutch. When de-activated, the pressure regula-
tor opens, causing pilot pressure to drain to tank,
which closes the operating valve and drains clutch
pressure.

The clutch valve includes a flow restrictor, which


limits oil supply. This limited oil supply allows
pressure to drop quick enough when the pressure
regulator opens.

ence between engine and turbine). In a stall situa-
tion most of the supplied engine power is transfer-
red into heat. This heat accumulates in the torque
converter because of the reduced oil flow during a
stall situation. With increasing turbine speed, the
volume of added heat reduces, while simultane-
ously, the increased oil flow more rapidly transfers
the accumulated heat.

Heat generated at the clutch plates varies with the


available engine power at time of clutch engage-
ment and the duration of clutch engagement. Dur-
ing normal operation, the transmission control sys-
tem determines the duration of clutch engagement.
During inching it is the driver who controls the
added heat in the clutch by varying engine power
and clutch engagement. The transmission control
system will close the forward or reverse clutch
when a certain amount of generated heat has been
exceeded.

Oil flow for cooling and lubrication passes through


the torque converter. To protect the torque con-
verter and the oil cooler, the converter safety valve
limits maximum pressure between 11 and
13 bar (159.6 and 188.5 psi). To prevent cavitation
during stall situations, the pressure back up valve
maintains a minimum pressure of about
2.5 bar (36 psi).

The maximum occuring pressure at the pressure

7.3 bar (106 psi).

From the transmission lubrication port the oil flows


into channels in the different shafts, which lead to 1. OIL CHANNEL
