Hyster-Yale Lift Truck GLP050VX

If the lift truck has an LPG fuel system, see one of the following Service Manuals to remove the LPG tank and bracket, before removing the coun terweight, and for additional information on the LPG fuel systems

Install a lifting eye in the lift hole of the counter-weight. Connect a crane to the lifting eye and raise the crane until it holds part of the weight of the counterweight. Remove the tow pin and remove the capscrew that holds the counterweight to the frame. Use the crane to lift the counterweight from the lift truck. Put counterweight on the floor so that it has stability and will not fall over. Take care not to damage exhaust or cooling components

Make sure the seals are on the counterweight

Use a crane to install the counterweight on the lift truck. When the counterweight is installed, make sure the hooks on the frame fully engage the coun terweight so it is aligned with the parts of the frame. Install and tighten the M24 x 3 capscrew to 555 Nem (409 Ibf ft)

Install tow pin and roll pin. See Tow Pin, Remove and Install for procedures

If lift truck is equipped with an overhead exhaust system, install the overhead exhaust pipe. See the section Exhaust System Repair for the procedures;

NOTE: There are no throttle pedal and cable adjustments for lift trucks equipped with the GM 2.4L engine. The GM 2.4L engines have an electronic throttle that is self-adjusting and self-calibrating

NOTE: For the Mazda 2007 emission compliant engines and for lift trucks built after January, 2010 and equipped with a Mazda engine, there is only a throttle pedal stop adjustment. The engine has an electronic throttle that is self-adjusting and self calibrating

Remove floor plate and disconnect throttle cable from the bellcrank and engine

Fully depress throttle pedal and verify that the dimension between the bellcrank and cowl plate is 6≤2 mm (0.24 ≤0.08 in.)

If dimension is not correct, adjust ball ends on push rod so that a minimum of 6 mm (0.24 in.) of threaded rod screws into each ball end

Connect throttle cable to bellcrank and engine

With throttle pedal in full up position, adjust throttle cable, using the jam nuts (item #10 in Figure 38) to remove all slack from the cable. Cable should be adjusted to the point where additional adjustment will pull the throttle crank off the idle stop. Tighten jam nuts to 8 to 15 Nem (71 to 133 ibf in)

NOTE: If lift truck is equipped with a Electronic Control Transmission, see the section Calibration Procedures 8000 YRM 1134 for additional adjustment procedures before going onto Step 7

Fully depress pedal and verify that full pedal stroke brings the throttle crank to within 3.0 mm (0.12 in.) of the wide open throttle stop
