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
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. 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
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.

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.

The vent door determines the percentage of fresh air
and recirculated air that the fan pulls through the
heater assembly. In heater assemblies without an
air conditioner, the vent door is in a fixed position
and allows for an air mixture of 85% fresh air and
15% recirculated air.
Cabs that are equipped with an air conditioner have
an electrically controlled vent door that can be used
to vary the percentage of recirculated air between 0
and 100%. The operator can select the position of
the vent door by turning a knob on the dashboard.
Cooling performance increases by reducing the
percentage of incoming fresh air.
Recirculated air enters the heater assembly through
the openings in the side console at the fuse cover.

must switch ON the button for the air conditioning
system and select one of the fan switch speeds.
Refer to the electrical schematic SRM pertaining to
each lift truck, for the schematic locations and
interconnections of the sensors and switches.
The compressor compresses the refrigerant and
continuously pumps the refrigerant through the air
conditioning system. As the refrigerant is being
compressed, the refrigerant temperature will rise.
The absorbed heat is dissipated in the condenser,
which is installed outside the cab. Fans at the
condenser accelerate heat dissipation to the outside
air as the refrigerant is condensed to liquid.
After the refrigerant passes through the condenser,
the liquefied refrigerant passes through the dryer
that also serves as a reservoir for the refrigerant. At
the expansion valve, the refrigerant will expand in
the evaporator, causing the temperature of the
refrigerant to drop substantially as it vaporizes and
absorbs the ambient heat in the cab through the
evaporator. The expansion valve regulates the flow
of the refrigerant, depending on the pressure

for the Climate Control a controller sends the
signals to the components instead of the manually
operated knobs on the dashboard for the normal

the dashboard that also has a display and a select
button. The display provides information on mode,
temperature, blower speed and fault conditions. An
explanation of the normally available information
and settings is in the Operating Manual.
