Hyster Forklift H280HD2

- Make sure that retaining hardware is tightened and in good condition.

- Check the controls and the attachment functions for correct operation as described in the Operating Manual. See the symbols at each of the controls.

- Check the attachment for damage, cracks and distortion. Look for deformations in the material and irregular lines in welds. Repair as required.

- Check for hydraulic leaks. Make sure wear pad retainers are tightened to 63 N•m (46.4 lbf ft).

NOTE: Check correct operation of the Operator Presence System.

Run the engine and verify normal operation of transmission and hydraulic functions.

Raise yourself from the seat for more than 2.5 sec.

Verify that hydraulic lift, lower and tilt functions do not operate as long as you are raised from the seat.

Verify that the transmission has been disengaged.

Verify that hydraulic lift, lower and tilt functions operate again after you have re-seated.

Verify that the transmission can be re-engaged.

To re-engage the transmission the operator must either:

!WARNING: The type of tire and tire pressure are shown on the nameplate. Make sure the nameplate is correct for the type of tires on the lift truck. Wheels and tires must be changed and repaired by trained personnel only.

Always wear safety glasses. Always use a tire inflator with a clip-on chuck when deflating or adjusting the tire pressure. The tire inflator must be equipped with a pressure gauge and a hose of at least 3 m (10 ft) in length.

During deflation or when adjusting the tire pressure, the technician must not stand in-line with the axis of the wheel. See Figure 58. If the air pressure is less than 80% of the correct air pressure, the tire must be removed before air is added.

Follow the procedures described in the section: Remove Wheels from Lift Truck and the section: Adding Air Pressure to the Tires.

Adjusting tire pressure is allowed only if residual air pressure exceeds 80% of the pressure as indicated on the nameplate.

If the tire is removed from the truck and flat on the ground, the technician should not have any body part within the diameter of the tire when adjusting the tire pressure. See Figure 59.

Wheels can explode and cause injury or death if the above procedures are not followed.

Air pressure in pneumatic 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.

Keep the tires at the correct air pressure as specified on the lift truck name plate. Using a tire pressure gauge, check the tire pressure when the tires are at ambient temperature.

!CAUTION: Compressed air can move particles so that they cause injury to the user or to other personnel. Make sure that the path of the compressed air is away from all personnel. Wear protective goggles or a face shield to prevent injury to the eyes.

1. Clean the radiator with compressed air or water as required. Be careful not to bend the radiator fins.

2. Inspect the radiator sections and hose connections for leakage. Repair as required.

!CAUTION: Disposal of lubricants and fluids must meet local environmental regulations.

Replace the fuel/water separator and the final fuel filter.

Close the fuel shutoff valve on the fuel tank.

Remove the final fuel filter, which is located at the right-hand side of the engine, near the transmission dipstick and fill-tube. See Figure 39. Fill the new filter element with clean diesel fuel and install.

Remove the electrical connector from the fuel/water separator and remove the filter.

Install the new fuel/water separator and reconnect the connector.

Rotate the handpump at the filter head until it springs open.
