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 Yale® dealer. Service Manuals
provide general guidelines for maintenance and service and are intended for use by trained and experienced techni-
cians. Failure to properly maintain equipment or to follow instructions 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. 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.

• Use the correct tools for the job.

• Keep the tools clean and in good condition.

• 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.

• 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 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: 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.

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.

Install Tire on Wheel

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.

If the TBS has two-valve holes, lubricate the plastic plug


and insert into valve hole that will not be used.

111
Wheel and Tire Replacement 8000 YRM 1248

STEP 3.
Place the TBS inside the tire, making sure that the wings
of the TBS are not folded over. Make a mark on the tire
to note the position of the valve hole in the TBS.

STEP 4.
Apply lubricant to the rim. If a four-piece wheel is being
used, lubricate the advance band. Slide the tire and the
TBS onto the wheel.

Line up the valve hole in the TBS with the valve slot in
the wheel. Lubricate and insert the valve into the valve
hole. Make sure it is fully inserted.

STEP 5.
Place the wheel and tire assembly on a flat surface.
Turn the valve a 1/4 turn to lock the collar under the
edges of the rim valve slot.

STEP 6.
Raise the tire and position the base and threaded stem
of the press through the hole in the center of the wheel.
Insert in wheel assembly, the following parts:
• Advance band (four-piece wheel only)
• Loose flange
• Locking ring

112
8000 YRM 1248 Wheel and Tire Replacement

STEP 7.
Position the advance band. Ensure that it does not go
in too far and damage the valve. Position the arms of
the press onto the loose flange.

Push down on the press to depress the tire beads until


locking ring groove is fully exposed.

STEP 8.
Insert tire tool into the locking ring groove, and a vise
grip on other end. Remove vise grip. Release the press
and check that all component parts are correctly posi-
tioned. Replace the valve core.

STEP 9.
Inflate tire to 103 kPa (15 psi). Tap wheel with a mallet to ensure all components are correctly sealed. Remove the
press from wheel and tire assembly.

Add Air to Pneumatic Tubeless Tire

WARNING
Add air pressure to tires only in safety cage. In-
spect safety cage for damage before use. When air
pressure is added, use a chuck that fastens onto
valve stem. Make sure there is enough hose to per-
mit operator to stand away from safety cage when
air pressure is added to tire.

DO NOT sit or stand by safety cage.

1. Put tire in safety cage. See Figure 103.

• DO NOT use any damaged or repaired wheel parts.
• Make sure 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.

DO NOT use a steel hammer on the wheel. Use a rubber, lead, plastic, or brass hammer to put parts together.
Make sure the side ring is in the correct position. The ends of the side ring must not touch. The clearance at
the ends of the lock ring will be approximately 13 to 25 mm (0.5 to 1.0 in.) after it is installed. If the clearance
is wrong, the wrong part has been used.

Lubricate wheel rim and inner surface of tire with tire
lubricant or soap.

STEP 2.
Put wheel rim on bed of press. Put tire over wheel rim.
Put cage in position on tire. Use press to install tire on
