Toyota Pallet Truck 8HBW30

Warning: Store and handle the hydraulic fluid with extreme care to prevent moisture and foreign matter from entering the hydraulic system.

Warning: Contaminated hydraulic fluid is the major cause of hydraulic system failures. Any service equipment, such as containers, funnels, and hand pumps, must be kept clean at all times. Cover them when not in use.

Turn the truck OFF and disconnect the battery connector

Remove the lift cylinder hoses from the fitting at the hydraulic pump

Connect a drain hose (high pressure) to the open fitting on the pump and tighten

Warning: Fluid will be under pressure and may spray or splash. Point hose away from your body and hold firmly in the waste fluid container.

Connect the battery connector and turn the truck ON

Perform the following maintenance tasks every 180 days or 500 HD, whichever comes first.

Inspect contactor tips for burnt or pitted surfaces. Failure to replace the tips may prevent the contactor from opening or closing causing unscheduled downtime. With the truck OFF and the battery disconnected, check the plunger for smooth operation with no binding.

If binding occurs, the pallet truck may malfunction or exhibit intermittent fault codes. See "Contactors" on page 6-30. Note: For EE trucks, remove cover to inspect tips.

Contactor tips have special textured tips that provide mechanical self-cleaning when the contactor opens or closes. When you inspect contactor tips, obey these guidelines:

- Do not file, use sandpaper or emery cloth on the contact points to remove discoloration or minor irregularities. This practice produces a surface more susceptible to sticking.

- Darkened points do not indicate burning.

- Burning indicates a loss of contact point material.

- Replace the contact points if there is not sufficient contact point material to last until the next regular inspection.

- The silver alloy part of the point is usable contact material; the copper backing is not usable contact material.
