SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
• The Service Manuals are updated on a regular basis, but may not reflect recent design changes to the prod-
uct. 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 expe-
rienced 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.

4000 SRM 1195 Forks

Forks
The forks are held on the carriage by hooks. The
forks are kept in position by pins that fit through the
top fork hooks and into slots in the top bar carriage.
If pin does not remain engaged in carriage slot, re-
place with new pin. Always check that the pins for
the forks keep the forks in position on the carriage.
Replace damaged fork pin parts. The forks can be re-
moved from the carriage by aligning the forks with
the fork removal notch. The fork removal notch is in
the bottom bar of the carriage.

Cylinder Identification
Two main lift cylinders and one free-lift cylinder are
present on all models of this series lift truck. How-
ever, cylinders may be either displacement-type or
piston-type. Certain cylinder types require different
hydraulic oil drain and fill procedures.

The main lift cylinders may be identified by the pres-


ence of a bleed screw near the top of the cylinder shell
on displacement-type cylinders. Piston-type, main
lift cylinders are not equipped with bleed screws. See

ADJUST WEAR STRIPS


NOTE: The wear plugs and lift chains must be ad-
justed before the wear strips are checked for wear,
replaced, and adjusted.

The wear strips and shims are fastened to the lower


guide blocks of weldments that move. See Figure 33
and Figure 34.

The wear strips and shims are adjusted:


• For minimum clearance to prevent too much side
movement of the weldments.
• To keep the weldments parallel.

Check and adjust the wear strips as follows:

1. Raise the carriage for access to the wear strips.


Install safety chains as described in Safety Pro-
cedures When Working Near Mast.

2. Remove the capscrews, washers, wear strips, and


shims. Replace all worn or damaged parts. One
wear strip and one shim on each side is usually
the correct adjustment. There must be the same
number of shims under the wear strip on both
sides of the weldment. Equal shims will keep the
weldment parallel with equal clearance.

3. Use a pry bar to move the weldment to install


shims for minimum clearance. Install the shims
and new wear strips as shown in Figure 34. Re-
move the safety chains.

4. Make sure the mast operates correctly as de-


scribed in Mast Operation Check.

the bottom of the left hand main lift cylinder which


holds the switch in position. The switch detects
the lower crossmember of the intermediate mast
when the mast weldments are lowered. When the
mast weldments raise, the proximity switch loses
its target signaling the main controller to increase
the lift pump and motor speed to compensate for the
increased load of the mast weldments. The switch
reacquires its target as the mast weldments lower
and signals the controller to slow the hydraulic flow
for the free-lift stage.
On certain models there is a second proximity switch
mounted to the bottom of the rear frame of the reach
carriage assembly. This switch detects the reach
carriage assembly height when lowered approxi-
mately 610 mm (24 in.) above the floor. At this
point, the master controller either slows the descent
of the reach carriage assembly or stops the carriage
completely, depending on the setting selected in the
dash display. The controller slows the carriage by
signaling the lift pump and motor to slow, cushioning
the final descent. It stops the carriage by signaling
the lift pump and motor to stop, holding the load at a
preset carry height. The lower button on the control
handle must be released an repressed to completely
lower the reach carriage assembly.

The proximity switches must be adjusted within


10 mm (0.39 in.) to detect their targets. Always
check wiring connections and air gap adjustments
before replacing components.
