Hyster-Yale Electric Reach Truck R30XM2

Inspect the drive tire and load wheels for damage

Inspect the tread and remove any objects that will cause damage. Smooth any cuts or tears to prevent further damage

Inspect the wheels and caster for loose or missing parts. Remove any wire, strapping, or other material wound around the axles or caster

CAUTION! If the wheels have been removed and 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 350 hours

Sign off on the tire, wheels, and caster inspection

WARNING! To help avoid personal injury, the tether line is specially made to lessen the shock of a fall. Do not substitute other types of rope

Inspect the tether line for wear, cuts, or damage

Inspect the clips for cracks and proper operation

Inspect the belt for cracks, cuts, or wear

The operator has fastened the belt snugly with the 'D' ring in the center of the back

Sign off on the tether line and belt inspection

WARNING! Never repair damaged forks. Do not heat, weld, or bend forks. Replace damaged forks

Check the attachment points of the forks with a penetrant or magnetic particle inspection

CAUTION! Do not try to correct alignment of the fork tips by bending the forks. Use shims to align the fork tips. Replace damaged forks. Never repair damaged forks by heating or welding

Forks are made of special steel using special procedures. Replace damaged forks. Always replace forks in pairs

Check that the fork tips are aligned within 13 mm (0.5 in.) of each other. Add or remove shims for alignment

Sign off on the forks maintenance

WARNING! Do not put tools on the battery. Tools on the battery can cause a short circuit and possible damage or injury. The acid in the electrolyte can cause injury. If the electrolyte leaks, use water to flush the area. Make the acid neutral with a solution of sodium bicarbonate (baking soda). Acid in the eyes must be immediately flushed with water

WARNING! Do NOT put hands, arms, feet, or legs between the battery and a solid object. Batteries are very heavy and can cause an injury. The lift truck and battery stand MUST be on a level surface to remove the battery

Check the level of the electrolyte daily on a minimum of one cell. Add only distilled water if the cell is low. The correct level is halfway between the top of the plates and the bottom of the fill hole. To check and add water to the cells, the battery must be out of the battery compartment

Remove the battery as described in How to Change the Battery. Check the battery case, connector, and cables for damage, cracks, or breaks. See the battery dealer in your area to repair any damage. Keep the battery case and the battery compartment clean and painted. Leaks and corrosion from the battery can cause a malfunction in the electric controls of the lift truck

Use a water and soda solution to clean the battery and the battery compartment. Keep the top of the battery clean, dry, and free of corrosion

Check that the correct spacer is installed across the mast side of the battery compartment. The spacer must allow the battery to move not more than 13 mm (0.5 in.) toward the front or rear of the compartment

Check that the battery cannot move more than 13 mm (0.5 in.) across the width of the lift truck. If the battery can move more than the maximum amount, make sure the battery is the correct weight and the correct spacers are installed for that battery

See your Hyster lift truck dealer for the correct spacers. The correct battery is in Table 4 of Battery Maintenance at the end of this section

Check that each battery compartment panel fits correctly and is not bent

WARNING! Make sure the area around the lift truck is clear before moving the lift truck or checking for correct operation. Be careful to avoid injury or damage when making the checks.

NOTE: None of the electrical controls will operate until the power disconnect circuit is energized by the key switch.

Check that all the instruments and controls operate as described in the Operating Manual.

Check the operation of the gauges and horn. The key switch must be in the ON position to operate the horn.

The key switch must be ON and the foot switch must be depressed for the hourmeter to operate.

The battery meter operates whenever a charged battery is connected.

The battery meter correctly indicates the condition of the battery. If the battery meter LED is illuminated red, charge the battery.

There must be a current flow from the battery before the 'lift interrupt' indicator will be reset. Normal operation, after connecting a charged battery, will reset the indicator.

Check that the fuses are the correct sizes and are not burned. Some types of fuses must be checked with an ohmmeter.
