• 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.
• DISCONNECT THE BATTERY CONNECTOR before doing any maintenance or repair on electric lift trucks. Discon-
nect 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.
• Always use YALE APPROVED parts when making repairs. Replacement parts must meet or exceed 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.
• Gasoline, Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG), Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), and Diesel fuel are flammable. 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 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 - see 2000 Hr/1 Yr service procedures.
NOTE 5: Recommended service intervals are based on a normal application in a clean environment. Applications involving
contaminated environments such as high levels of air borne debris (dust and waste paper); chemical or abrasive compounds;
poor ground conditions; intensive usage at high performance levels; or other abnormal conditions will require more frequent
servicing. At your request your Yale 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: See Capacities and Specifications 8000 YRM 1249 for spark plug gap and type of spark plugs to use.
NOTE 10: Lubricate mast every three months if unit has less than 1000 hours.
NOTE 11: Lubricate if dry or at first sign of visible surface rust.
NOTE 12: Do not open the air filter canister except to change the air filter element. See Maintenance Procedures Every 2000
Hours or Annually to change air filter element.
NOTE 13: Initial valve adjustment is at 250 hours or 3 months. Subsequent adjustments must be performed at 2000-hour/2-year
intervals, whichever comes first.
NOTE 14: Replace after 3000 hours. Use hour interval only.
NOTE 15: Use Ethylene Glycol Boron-free Antifreeze. Purchase a pre-diluted 50/50 solution; or mix 50% concentrate with 50%
distilled or deionized water.
NOTE 16: Inspect after an impact likely to cause damage. In large diameter paper-roll production applications, inspect at first
4000 hours with subsequent inspection at 2000 hour intervals. At your request, your Yale dealer will advise you of the appropriate
service intervals based on an application survey.
NOTE 17: Hydraulic oil sampling and analysis is a recommended practice. See Hydraulic Cleanliness Procedures 1900 YRM
1620 for oil cleanliness 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.

WARNING
Damage to the tire and wheel assembly and injury or death can occur if you do not do the follow procedures:
• Clean and inspect all parts of the wheel before installing the tire.
• DO NOT use any damaged or repaired wheel parts.
• Make sure that all parts of the wheel are the correct parts for that wheel assembly.
• DO NOT mix parts between different types or manufacturers of wheels.
• DO NOT mix types of tires, type of tire tread, or wheel assemblies of different manufacturers on any one
lift truck.
WARNING
DO NOT use a steel hammer on the wheel. Use a rubber, lead, plastic, or brass hammer to put parts together.
WARNING
DO NOT lubricate the tire bead with antifreeze or petroleum-based liquid. Vapors from these liquids can
cause an explosion during inflation or use.
STEP 1.
Clean interior and exterior bead of the tire. Lubricate
tire beads and the inside of the tire, up to the tire shoul-
ders. Apply lubricant to the entire underside of the TBS.
NOTE: If the wheel rim width is less than 152 mm (6 in.), the TBS will contain one valve hole to accommodate the
needle valve. If the wheel rim width is greater than 152 mm (6 in.), the TBS will have two holes for the needle valve.
One hole is centrally located and the other is offset, to ensure the correct positioning of the valve in the valve slot.
The valve hole that is not used should be sealed with a small plastic plug.
STEP 2.
Apply lubricant to the needle valve and the valve hole
that will be used (see NOTE) by inserting and removing
the lubricated valve several times. If a three- or four-
piece wheel is being used, remove the valve. If a two-
piece wheel is being used, leave valve in valve hole.
