General
WARNING
Do not make repairs or adjustments unless you
have both authorization and training. Repairs
and adjustments that are not correct can make
a dangerous operating condition.

WARNING
Do not operate a lift truck that needs repairs.
Report the need for repairs immediately. If repair is necessary, put a DO NOT OPERATE tag
in the operators area. Remove the key from
the key switch.

WARNING
Disposal of lubricants and fluids must meet local environmental regulations.
This section contains a Maintenance Schedule and
the instructions for maintenance and inspection.
The Maintenance Schedule has time intervals for
inspection, lubrication, and maintenance of your
lift truck. The recommended time intervals are for
8 hours of operation per day. Shorten the recommended time intervals in the Maintenance Schedule
for the following conditions:
If the lift truck is used more than 8 hours per day
If the lift truck must work in dirty operating conditions
Your dealer for Hyster lift trucks has the equipment
and trained service personnel to do a complete program of inspection, lubrication, and maintenance. A
regular program of inspection, lubrication, and maintenance will help your lift truck give more efficient
performance and operate for a longer period of time.
Some users have service personnel and equipment
to do the inspection, lubrication, and maintenance
shown in the Maintenance Schedule. Service Manuals are available from your dealer for Hyster lift
trucks to help users who do their own maintenance.

HOW TO MOVE DISABLED LIFT TRUCK


WARNING
Use caution when towing a lift truck if there is
a problem with any of the following:
Brakes do not operate correctly.
Steering does not operate correctly.
Tires are damaged.

Traction conditions are bad.


The lift truck must be towed on a steep grade.
If the engine cannot run, there is no power
available for the hydraulic steering system
and the service brakes. This condition can
make the lift truck difficult to steer and stop.
Poor traction can cause the disabled lift truck
or towing vehicle to slide. A slope will also
make the lift truck more difficult to stop.
Never lift and move a disabled lift truck unless
the disabled lift truck MUST be moved and
cannot be towed. A lift truck used to move
a disabled lift truck MUST have a capacity
rating equal to or greater than the weight of
the disabled lift truck. The capacity of the lift
truck used to move a disabled lift truck must
have a load center equal to half the width of
the disabled lift truck. See the capacity plate
of the disabled lift truck for the approximate
total weight. The forks must extend the full
width of the disabled lift truck. Put the weight
center of the disabled lift truck on the load
center of the forks. Be careful not to damage
the underside of the lift truck.
NOTE: For lift trucks equipped with air brakes, if
there is no air pressure in the brake system, the parking brake must be manually released. To manually
release the parking brake, use the release bolt at
each air chamber to compress the spring that applies
the brake. Tighten the release bolt (or nut) until the
brake is released.
H8.00-12.00XM models: the release bolt, washer,
and nut are in a receptacle on the side of the air
chamber. Make sure the release bolt is engaged in
the piston before the nut is tightened.
H13.00-16.00XM models: the release bolt is permanently installed in the piston of the park brake.

How to Tow Lift Truck


1. The towed lift truck must have an operator.
2. Tow the lift truck slowly.
3. Raise the carriage and forks approximately
30 cm (12 in.) from the surface. Install a chain
to prevent the carriage and mast channels from
moving.

General
4. If another lift truck is used to tow the disabled lift
truck, that lift truck must have a weight equal
or greater than the weight of the disabled lift
truck. Install approximately 1/2 capacity load on
the forks of the lift truck that is being used to tow
the disabled lift truck. This 1/2 capacity load will
increase the traction of the lift truck. Travel with
the load as low as possible.
5. Use a towing link made of steel that attaches to
the tow pins in the counterweights of both lift
trucks.

HOW TO PUT LIFT TRUCK ON BLOCKS


How to Raise Drive Tires
WARNING
The lift truck must be put on blocks for some
types of maintenance and repair. The removal
of the following assemblies will cause large
changes in the center of gravity: mast, drive
axle, engine and transmission, and the counterweight. When the lift truck is put on blocks,
put additional blocks in the following positions to maintain stability:
1. Before removing the mast and drive axle,
put blocks under the counterweight so that
the lift truck cannot fall backward.
2. Before removing the counterweight, put
blocks under the mast assembly so that the
lift truck cannot fall forward.
The surface must be solid, even, and level when
the lift truck is put on blocks. Make sure that
any blocks used to support the lift truck are
solid, one-piece units. Put a steel plate on top
of the block.
NOTE: Some lift trucks have lifting eyes. These lift
points can be used to raise the lift truck so that blocks
can be installed.
1. Put blocks on each side (front and back) of the
steering tires to prevent movement of the lift
truck. See Figure 1.
2. Put the mast in a vertical position. Put a block
under each outer mast channel.
3. Tilt the mast fully forward until the drive tires
are raised from the surface.

8000 SRM 934


4. Put additional blocks under the frame behind the
drive tires. Make sure the blocks are under the
frame and not under the hydraulic or fuel tanks.
5. If the hydraulic system will not operate, use a
hydraulic jack under the side of the frame near
the front. Make sure that the jack has a capacity
equal to at least half the weight of the lift truck.
See the capacity plate.

How to Raise Steering Tires


WARNING
The lift truck must be put on blocks for some
types of maintenance and repair. The removal
of the following assemblies will cause large
changes in the center of gravity: mast, drive
axle, engine and transmission, and the counterweight. When the lift truck is put on blocks,
put additional blocks in the following positions to maintain stability:
1. Before removing the mast and drive axle,
put blocks under the counterweight so that
the lift truck cannot fall backward.
2. Before removing the counterweight, put

The surface must be solid, even, and level when
the lift truck is put on blocks. Make sure that
any blocks used to support the lift truck are
solid, one-piece units. Put a steel plate on top
of the block.
NOTE: Some lift trucks have lifting eyes. These lift
points can be used to raise the lift truck so that blocks
can be installed.
1. Put the mast in the vertical position.
2. Apply the parking brake. Put blocks on both
sides (front and back) of the drive tires to prevent movement of the lift truck. See Figure 1.
3. Use a hydraulic jack to raise the steering tires.
Put the jack under the steering axle or frame to
raise the lift truck. Make sure that the jack has
a capacity of at least 2/3 of the total weight of the
lift truck as shown on the capacity plate.
4. Put blocks under the frame and counterweight to
support the lift truck. Make sure the blocks are
under the frame and not under the hydraulic or
fuel tanks.

parking brake. Open the hood and check for leaks


and conditions that are not normal. Clean any oil
or fuel spills. Make sure that lint, dust, paper,
and other materials are removed from the engine
compartment.

8000 SRM 934

Maintenance Procedures Every 8 Hours or Daily

Tires and Wheels


WARNING
Air pressure in tires can cause tire and wheel
parts to explode. The explosion of wheel parts
can cause serious injury or death.
Remove all of the air from the tires before the
tires are removed from the lift truck.
If the air pressure is less than 80% of the correct pressure, the tire must be removed before
air is added. Put the tire in a safety cage when
adding air pressure to the tire. Follow the procedures under Add Air to Tires.
When air is added to the tires, a remote air
chuck must be used so that the person adding
air can stand to the side and not in front of the
tire.
Keep the tires at the correct air pressure. (See the
capacity plate.) Check the air pressure with a gauge
when the tires are cold. See Figure 5. If it is necessary to add air to a tire that is warm, check one of
the other tires on the same axle and add air to the
tire that has low pressure so that the air pressures
are equal. The air pressure of warm tires must always be equal to or greater than air pressures specified for cold tires.
Check the tires for damage. Check the tread and remove any objects that will cause damage. Check for
bent or damaged rims. Check for loose or missing
hardware. Remove any wire, strapping, or other material that is wrapped around the axle.
Replace solid tires when the wear line at the side
of the tire has reached the tread surface. Extended
usage beyond the wear limit affects the stability of
the lift truck.

1. CHECK FOR DAMAGE (REMOVE NAILS,


GLASS, AND OTHER OBJECTS FROM TREAD)
2. MAKE SMOOTH EDGES
3. CHECK TIRE PRESSURE (PNEUMATIC TIRES)
Figure 5. Tires Check

CAUTION
When the wheels have been installed, check
all wheel nuts after 2 to 5 hours of operation.
Tighten the nuts in a cross pattern to the correct torque value shown in the Maintenance
Schedule table. When the nuts stay tight after
8 hours, the interval for checking the torque
can be extended to 150 hours.
NOTE: Whenever a wheel is removed, it will be necessary to lubricate the wheel nuts and studs. See
Figure 34. Put two drops of engine oil (or other lubricant) between the flange and body of the wheel nut.
Also put two drops of oil on the threads of the studs.
Make sure the wheel nuts are tight. Tighten the
wheel nuts in a cross pattern (see Figure 34) to
the correct torque value shown in the Maintenance
Schedule.

Maintenance Procedures Every 8 Hours or Daily

Forks
The identification of a fork is determined by how it
is connected to the carriage. These lift trucks have
pin forks. Pin forks are fastened to the carriage with
large fork pins.
Adjust
A lock pin for each fork fits into the top carriage bar
and a slot in the fork. These lock pins hold the fork in
position. Adjust the forks as far apart as possible for
maximum support of the load. Make sure the lock pin
is engaged in the carriage bar and the fork. The fork
must be locked into position after the adjustment is
made.

8000 SRM 934


Never repair damaged forks by heating or
welding. Forks are made of special steel using
special procedures. Replace damaged forks.
1. Inspect the welds on the mast and carriage for
cracks. Make sure that the nuts and bolts are
tight.
2. Inspect the channels for wear in the areas where
the rollers travel. Inspect the rollers for wear or
damage.
3. Inspect the forks for cracks and wear. Check that
the fork tips are aligned (Figure 6). Check that
the bottom of the fork is not worn (Figure 6).

Remove

WARNING
Do not try to move a fork without a lifting device. The forks can weigh up to 370 kg (800 lb)
each.
Put the lift truck on a level surface and lower the
forks. Tilt the mast so that the forks have stability.
Remove the retainers for the fork pins and push the
pins from the carriage. Move the lift truck away from
the forks.
Install
1. Put the forks approximately 1 m (3 ft) in front of
the carriage.
2. Slowly move the lift truck toward the forks until
the fork pins can be installed. Install the fork
pins and the retainers.

Forks, Mast, and Lift Chains, Inspect


WARNING
Never work under a raised carriage, forks,
or mast channel. Lower the carriage or use
blocks and chains on the mast weldments and

WARNING
All fuels are very flammable and can burn or
cause an explosion. Do not use an open flame
to check the fuel level or to check for leaks in
the fuel system. If there is a leak in the fuel system, extra care must be used during the repair.
Do not operate the lift truck until a leak is repaired.
Make a visual check for leaks on and under the lift
truck. If possible, find and repair the leak at the
source. Leaks often indicate a need for repair of damaged or worn components.
Check the fuel system for leaks and the condition of
parts. Also check the condition of the radiator or
heater hoses that are not leaking. Soft or cracked
hoses need to be replaced before a major leak occurs.

Cab Hydraulic System


The hydraulic system for the cab tilt device has a
separate reservoir.
If the cab does not tilt completely, the oil level may
be low and require filling.

tension for the tightest belt.
A gauge is available that will indicate the tension
in the drive belt. Fit the gauge at the center of the
longest length of the drive belt and measure the tension. See Figure 20. The correct tension is approximately 355 N (80 lbf).
The tension can also be checked by pushing on the
drive belt as shown in Figure 21. Push on the drive
belt with approximately 10 kg (20 lb) force between
the alternator and crankshaft pulleys. When the tension is correct, the drive belt will move approximately
13 mm (0.5 in.).
Loosen the capscrew on the alternator mount to adjust the tension of the drive belts.

CAUTION
Long-term exposure to used engine oil can
cause skin irritation or cancer. Wash with
detergent and water.

CAUTION
Never run the engine without oil.
NOTE: Change the oil filter for the engine after the
first 100 hours on new lift trucks.
Change the filter at the same time engine oil is
changed. See Figure 12. Use the correct oil according to the specifications. Install a new filter. Apply
clean oil to the gasket of the new filter. Turn the
filter until the gasket touches, then tighten 1/2 to
3/4 turn with your hand.

CAUTION
To prevent possible engine damage if the engine starts before sufficient oil pressure is
reached, turn the ignition key to the stop position.
Turn the ignition key to the start position and crank
the engine until either the oil pressure warning light
extinguishes or oil pressure is registered on the oil

Safety Procedures When Working Near Mast


The following procedures must be used when inspecting or working near the mast. Additional precautions
and procedures can be required when repairing or removing the mast. See the correct Service Manual section for the specific mast being repaired.

WARNING
Mast parts are heavy and can move. Distances
between parts are small. Serious injury or
death can result if part of the body is hit by
parts of the mast or the carriage.
Never put any part of the body into or under
the mast or carriage unless all parts are completely lowered or a safety chain is installed.
Also make sure that the power is off and the
key is removed. Put a DO NOT OPERATE tag
in the operators compartment.
Be careful of the forks. When the mast is
raised, the forks can be at a height to cause
an injury.
Do NOT climb on the mast or lift truck at any
time. Use a ladder or personnel lift to work
on the mast.

32

Do NOT use blocks to support the mast weldments nor to restrain their movement.
Mast repairs require disassembly and removal of parts and can require removal
of the mast or carriage. Follow the repair
procedures in the correct Service Manual
section for the mast.
WHEN WORKING NEAR THE MAST ALWAYS:
1. Lower the mast and carriage completely. Push
the lift/lower control lever forward and make
sure there is no movement in the mast. Make
sure that all parts of the mast that move are
fully lowered.
OR
2. If parts of the mast must be in raised position,
install a safety chain to restrain the moving parts
of the mast. Connect moving parts to a part that
does not move. Follow these procedures:
a. Put the mast in a vertical position.

8000 SRM 934

Fuel Injectors Check

b. Raise the mast to align the bottom of the inner weldment to below the anchor for the tilt
cylinders. See Figure 31.
c. Use a 13 mm (0.5 in.) minimum safety chain
with a hook to fasten the weldments together
so that the inner weldment cannot lower. Install the chain on both sides of the mast.

1. INNER WELDMENT

Make sure the hooks are completely engaged


with a link in the chain.
d. Lower the mast until there is tension in the

Lift and Tilt System Leak Check

8000 SRM 934

Lift and Tilt System Leak Check


LIFT SYSTEM
WARNING
Never allow anyone under a raised carriage.
Do not put any part of your body in or through
the lift mechanism unless all parts of the mast
are completely lowered and the engine is
stopped.
Before making any repairs, use blocks and
chains on the mast weldments and carriage so
that they cannot move. Make sure the moving
parts are fastened to the parts that cannot
move.
Do not try to find hydraulic leaks by putting
your hand on hydraulic components under
pressure. Hydraulic oil can be injected into
the body by the pressure.
During test procedures for the hydraulic system, fasten the load to the carriage with chains
to prevent it from falling. Keep all personnel
away from the lift truck during the tests.
1. Slowly raise and lower the mast several times
without a load. Put a capacity load on the forks
and raise and lower the load several times.
Lower the load and tilt the mast forward and
backward several times. Check for leaks and
repair as necessary.
2. Raise the carriage and the capacity load 1 m
(3 ft). If the carriage lowers slowly with the
control valve in a NEUTRAL position, there
are leaks inside the hydraulic system. The
maximum speed that the carriage is allowed
to lower is shown in Table 5. For example, the
maximum speed that the carriage is allowed to
lower is 33 mm (1.3 in.) per 10 minutes when
the hydraulic oil is 30 C (86 F).
3. Check the lift cylinder for internal leaks. Remove
the load from the forks. Install a gate valve in

34

each of the supply lines between the main control


valve and the mast. Put a capacity load on the
forks again. Raise the carriage 1 m (3 ft). Close
both gate valves. If the carriage or inner mast
lowers slowly, the seals in the lift cylinders have
leaks.
4. If the carriage does not move, open both gate
valves and check the movement again. If the carriage lowers when the gate valves are open, check
for leaks in the hydraulic lines and fittings. If no
leaks are found, the main control valve can have
a defect. Remove the load from the forks.

TILT SYSTEM
1. Put a capacity load on the forks and raise the
forks approximately 30 cm (12 in.). Slowly tilt
the mast forward. If the mast continues to slowly
tilt forward when the control valve is in a NEUTRAL position, there are leaks inside the hydraulic system. The maximum speed that the
mast is allowed to tilt forward is shown in Table 5. For example, the maximum speed that the
mast is allowed to tilt forward is 29 mm (1.1 in.)
per 10 minutes when the hydraulic oil is 30 C
(86 F).
2. If the leak rate is greater than specified, remove
the load from the forks. Install a gate valve between the port at the front of each tilt cylinder
and the hydraulic line. Put the load on the forks
again. Close one valve. If the mast tilts slowly
forward, the cylinder connected to the closed gate
valve has leaking seals. Check the other cylinder
using the same procedure.
3. If the mast does not move, open one of the gate
valves and check for movement again. If the
mast moves forward with the valve open, check
for leaks in the hydraulic lines or fittings. Check
the other tilt cylinder using the same procedure.
If no leaks are found, the main control valve can
have a defect. Remove the load from the forks.

Welding Repairs
WARNING
Forklift truck frames and components may
be painted with a catalyzed paint such as
polyurethane or a two-part primer. Welding,
burning, or other heat sufficient to cause thermal decomposition of the paint may release
isocyanates.
These chemicals are allergic
sensitizers to the skin and respiratory tract
and overexposure may occur without odor
warning. Should work be performed, utilize
good industrial hygiene practices including
removal of all paint (prime and finish coats) to
the metal around the area to be welded, local
ventilation, and/or supplied-air respiratory
protection.

WARNING
Welding can cause a fire or an explosion. Always follow the instructions in the section
Frame if a fuel or hydraulic tank must be
welded. Make sure there is no fuel, oil, or
grease near the weld area. Make sure there is
good ventilation in the area where the welding
must be done.

Do not heat, weld, or bend forks. Forks are


made of special steel using special methods.
The strength of the overhead guard can be reduced by welding or heating. Get information
from your dealer for Hyster lift trucks before
welding on a mast.

CAUTION
When an arc welder is used, always disconnect
the ground cable from the battery in the lift
truck. This action will prevent damage to the
alternator or the battery.
Connect the ground clamp for the arc welder as
close as possible to the weld area. This action
will prevent damage to a bearing from the large
current from the welder.
Some repairs require welding. If an acetylene or arc
welder is used, make sure the procedures in the previous WARNINGS and CAUTION are done.

Wheel and Tire Replacement


REMOVE WHEELS FROM LIFT TRUCK
WARNING
The type of tire and tire pressure (pneumatic
tires) are shown on the capacity plate. Make
sure the capacity plate is correct for the type
of tires on the lift truck.

WARNING
Wheels must be changed and tires repaired by
trained personnel only.
Always wear safety glasses.
Completely remove the air pressure from the
tire before it is removed from the lift truck. If
dual wheels are installed, remove the air from
both tires. Air pressure in the tires can cause
the tire and wheel parts to explode, causing serious injury or death.

PNEUMATIC TIRES
Remove Tire from Wheel
WARNING
Completely remove the air pressure from the
tire before it is removed from the lift truck. If
dual wheels are installed, remove the air from
both tires. Air pressure in the tires can cause
the tire and wheel parts to explode, causing serious injury or death.
Keep tire tools in firm contact with the wheel.
If the tool slips, it can move with enough force
to cause serious injury.
See Figure 32 when disassembling the wheels. There
are two types of wheels used on this series of lift
trucks.

1. Raise the lift truck as described in How to Put


Lift Truck on Blocks in this section.
2. Remove the air from the tire. Remove the valve
core to make sure that all of the air is out of the
inner tube. Push a wire through the valve stem
to make sure that the valve stem does not have a
restriction. If dual tires are used, remove the air
pressure from both tires.
3. Remove the wheel nuts then remove the wheel
from the lift truck. Be careful not to damage
the studs when removing the wheels. Lift truck
wheels are heavy.

WARNING

8000 SRM 934


NOTE: See Figure 32 when assembling the wheels.
There are two types of wheels used on this series of
lift trucks.

Failure to follow these procedures can cause


the wheel assembly to explode and cause injury
or death.

1. Clean and inspect all parts of the wheel. If the


wheel has rust or corrosion, remove loose rust
and corrosion and paint the parts.

Clean and inspect all parts of the wheel before


installing the tire. DO NOT use any damaged
or repaired wheel parts. Wheels that have
been repaired can explode when air pressure
is added to the tire or during operation. Make
sure that all parts of the wheel are the correct
parts for the wheel assembly. Do not mix parts
between different types or manufacturers of
wheels. Do not mix type of tires, type of tire
tread, or wheel assemblies of different manufacturers on any one lift truck.

2. Install a new flap and inner tube in the tire. Inner tubes and flaps that have been used in earlier
service can cause tire failure. (Some inner tubes
also require a backup washer on the valve stem.)

Do not use a steel hammer on the wheel. Use a


rubber, lead, plastic, or brass hammer to put
parts together. Make sure that the side ring
and/or the lock ring are in the correct position.
The ends of the lock ring or side ring must not
touch. The clearance at the ends of the side
ring and/or the lock ring must be 2.5 to 6.5 mm
(0.1 to 0.26 in.) after air pressure is added to
the tire. If the clearance is wrong, the wrong
part has been used.

3. Apply a rubber lubricant or a soap solution to the


tire bead and tube.

Install Three- or Four-Piece Wheel in Tire


STEP 1.
Install inner tube and rubber flap in tire.

STEP 2.
Install wheel rim in tire. Make sure stem of inner

WARNING
Do not lubricate the tire bead with antifreeze
or petroleum-based liquid. Vapors from these
liquids can cause an explosion when air pressure is added or when the tire is in use.

4. Make sure that the rim is the correct size for the
tire. Lubricate the parts of the rim that engage
the bead and flap.

STEP 3.
Turn over rim and tire. Put blocks under rim so that
rim is 8 to 10 cm (3 to 4 in.) above floor. Install flange
seat (if used) and side flange. Hold them in correct
position.

STEP 4.
Put lock ring in correct position on rim. Add air pressure to tire as described in Add Air to Tires.

ADD AIR TO TIRES


WARNING
Add air pressure to the tires only in a safety
cage. Inspect the safety cage for damage before use. When air pressure is added to the tire,
use a chuck that fastens onto the valve stem of
the inner tube. Make sure there is enough hose
to permit the operator to stand away from the
safety cage when air pressure is added to the
tire.

5. Check that all wheel parts are correctly installed.


If installation is not correct, remove all of the air
pressure from the tire. Remove the valve core
to make sure all of the air pressure has been removed and make adjustments. The clearance at
the ends of the side ring and/or lock ring will be
2.5 to 6.5 mm (0.1 to 0.26 in.) when the tire has
the correct air pressure.

Do not sit or stand by the safety cage. Do not


use a hammer to try and correct the position of
the side ring and/or lock ring when the tire has
air pressure greater than 20 kPa (3 psi).
1. Put the tire in a safety cage. See Figure 33.
2. Add 20 kPa (3 psi) air to the tire.
3. Check that all wheel parts are correctly installed.
Hit the side ring and/or lock ring lightly to make
sure that it is in the seat.
4. If installation is correct, add air to the tire to the
correct pressure. (See the capacity plate.)

SOLID RUBBER TIRES


Remove Tire from Wheel
WARNING
Keep tire tools in firm contact with wheel parts. If the tool slips, it can move with enough force to
cause serious injury.
NOTE: See Figure 32 when disassembling the wheels. There are two types of wheels used on this series of lift
trucks.
STEP 1.
Put wheel rim on bed of press. Put cage in position
on tire. Use press to push tire away from side ring.

STEP 2.
Put tire tool into slot between side ring and/or lock
ring and wheel rim. Remove side ring, lock ring, and
wedge band.

STEP 3.
Turn tire over. Put a support under wheel rim. Make
sure wheel rim is at least 150 to 200 mm (6 to 8 in.)
from bed of press.

Install Tire on Wheel


WARNING
Failure to follow these procedures will cause damage to the tire and wheel assembly and cause
injury or death.
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 the wheel
assembly. Do not mix parts between different types or manufacturers of wheels. Do not mix type
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 that the side ring is in the correct position. The ends of the side ring must not
touch. The clearance at the ends of the side ring must be 2.5 to 6.5 mm (0.1 to 0.26 in.) after it is
installed. If the clearance is wrong, the wrong part has been used.
Keep tire tools in firm contact with the wheel. If the tool slips, it can move with enough force to
cause serious injury.

CAUTION
Too much lubricant can cause tire to slide and move around wheel rim.
NOTE: See Figure 32 when assembling the wheels. There are two types of wheels used on this series of lift
trucks. The four-piece wheel assemblies must be used with the solid rubber tires. Some solid rubber tires will
not allow the wedge band to be installed. If necessary, install the side ring and the lock ring only.
STEP 1.
Lubricate wheel rim and inner surface of tire with
tire lubricant or soap.

WHEELS, INSTALL
WARNING
When the wheels have been installed, check
all wheel nuts after 2 to 5 hours of operation.
Tighten the nuts to the correct torque. When
the nuts stay tight for 8 hours, the interval for
checking can be extended to 150 hours.
1. Install the wheel on the hub. When dual wheels
are used, install the inner wheel so that it is
tight against the brake drum. Install the outer
wheel. Be careful not to damage the threads on
the studs.
2. Lubricate the studs and nuts as shown in Figure 34. Do not get any oil on the outer surfaces
of the wheel or the flange of the nut.
3. Start with the wheel nut at the top and tighten
the nuts to 68 to 136 Nm (50 to 100 lbf ft) in the
sequence shown. Check to make sure that the
wheel(s) is tight against the hub, then tighten the
nuts to 640 to 680 Nm (470 to 500 lbf ft).
