Foreword
To OWNERS, USERS, and OPERATORS:
The safe and efficient operation of a lift truck requires
skill and alertness on the part of the operator. To develop
the skill required the operator must:
• Receive training in the proper operation of THIS lift truck.
• Understand any potential hazards that may exist in the
work place where the lift truck is intended to be used.
• Understand the capabilities and limitations of the lift
truck.
• Become familiar with the construction of the lift truck and
see that it is maintained in good condition.
• Read and properly understand the warnings, instruc-
tions, and operating procedures in this manual.
In addition, a qualified person, experienced in lift truck
operation, must guide a new operator through several driving and load handling operations before the new operator
attempts to operate the lift truck alone.
It is the responsibility of the employer to make sure that the
operator can see, hear, and has the physical and mental
ability to operate the equipment safely.
Various laws and regulations require the employer to train
lift truck operators. These laws and regulations include:
• Occupational Safety and Health Act (USA)
• Canada Material Handling Regulations
NOTE: A comprehensive operator training program is avail-
able from Hyster Company. For further details, contact
your dealer for Hyster lift trucks.
This Operating Manual is the original instruction and contains information necessary for the operation and maintenance of a basic lift truck. Optional equipment is sometimes
installed that can change some operating characteristics
described in this manual. Make sure the necessary instructions are available and understood before operating the lift
truck.
Foreword
Some of the components and systems described in this
Operating Manual will NOT be installed on your unit. If you
have a question about any item described, contact your

Model Description
General
This Operating Manual is for the following models of lift
trucks:
S40FT, S50FT, S55FTS, S60FT, and S70FT (F187)
H40FT, H50FT, H60FT, and H70FT (L177)
These lift trucks are available with the following engines:
• Mazda 2.0L engine which uses gasoline or LPG fuel
• Mazda 2.2L engine which uses gasoline or LPG fuel
• GM 2.4L engine which uses gasoline or LPG fuel
• Yanmar 2.6L engine which uses diesel fuel
• Yanmar 3.3L engine which uses diesel fuel
Prior to January, 2011, these lift truck models can be
equipped with a Basic Powershift (iron case), Powershift 1
Speed (aluminum case gear drive) or DuraMatch transmission (see Table 1). After January 2011, these truck models
will be equipped with a Powershift 1 Speed (aluminum case
chain drive) or DuraMatch transmission (see Table 1) and
can be equipped with three types of controls:
• A MONOTROL® pedal that controls both the forward
and reverse operation of the powershift transmission and
the speed of the engine.
• A Direction Control Lever on the left side of the Display
Switch Cluster that controls the forward, neutral, and
reverse operation of the powershift transmission. A separate accelerator pedal controls the engine speed.
• A directional control switch integrated into the armrest on
units equipped with E-hydraulics controls both forward
and reverse operation of the transmission. A separate
accelerator pedal controls engine speed.
The S40-70FT lift trucks are equipped with solid rubber
tires. The H40-70FT lift trucks are equipped with pneumatic
tires or solid pneumatic-shaped tires. See Wheels andTires in the Maintenance Section for a description of
these tires.
If your lift truck is an S40-70FT, S55FTS (F187) with manual hydraulics and manufactured prior to March, 2009, it is
not equipped an emergency lowering valve. If manufactured after March, 2009, it is equipped with an emergency
lowering valve.

Model Description
If your lift truck is an H40-70FT (L177) with manual hydraulics and manufactured prior to March, 2009, is it not equipped with an emergency lowering valve. If manufactured
after March, 2009, it is equipped with an emergency lowering valve.
If your lift truck is equipped with electronic hydraulics, it has
an emergency lowering valve.
This emergency lowering valve (see Figure 15) allows the
operator or service technician to lower the lift truck's mast
assembly if the electrical signal to the main control valve is
disrupted. See the section Load Handling, Emergency
Load Lowering in the Operating Procedures section.

Operator Protection Equipment
The LOAD BACKREST EXTENSION is installed to keep
loose parts of the load from falling back toward the operator. It must be high enough, with vertical openings small
enough, to prevent the parts of the load from falling backwards. If a load backrest extension that is different from the
one installed on your lift truck is required, contact your Hys-ter lift truck dealer.
The OVERHEAD GUARD is intended to offer reasonable
protection to the operator from falling objects, but cannot
protect against every possible impact. Therefore, it must
not be considered a substitute for good judgment and care
when handling loads. Do not remove the overhead guard.
NOTE: The seat belt can be either black or red.
The SEAT BELT AND HIP RESTRAINT provide additional
means to help the operator keep the head and torso substantially within the confines of the lift truck frame and overhead guard if a tipover occurs. This restraint system is
intended to reduce the risk of the head and torso being
trapped between the lift truck and the ground, but it cannot
protect the operator against all possible injury in a tipover.
The hip restraint will help the operator resist side movement. It is not a substitute for the seat belt. Always fasten
the seat belt.
This lift truck may be equipped with an optional operator
presence system which will not allow the truck to travel
unless the seat belt is fastened. When equipped, the seat
belt interlock includes sequencing/logic for the seat pressure switch and seat belt switch. The weight of the operator
must be detected prior to the seat belt switch being
engaged to enable operations.

Nameplate
WARNING
DO NOT add to or modify the lift truck. Any modification that affects the safe operation of the truck cannot
be undertaken without the written authorization of Hyster Company.
Any change to the lift truck, the tires, or its equipment
can change the lifting capacity. The lift truck must be
rated as equipped and the Nameplate must show the
new capacity rating.
The capacity is specified in kilograms (kg) and pounds (lb).
The capacity is the maximum load that the lift truck can
handle for the load condition shown on the Nameplate.
The maximum capacity for the lift truck, at full load height,
must be shown on the Nameplate. Special capacities with
the load height reduced or with optional load centers, may
also be shown on the Nameplate.
The lift truck serial number code is on the Nameplate. The
serial number code is also stamped on the right-hand side
of the lift truck frame, under the floorplate.
When a lift truck is shipped incomplete from the factory, the
Nameplate is covered by an INCOMPLETE label as shown
in Figure 3. If the equipment on the truck is changed, the
Nameplate is covered by a NOTICE label as shown in Fig-ure 3. If your lift truck has either of these labels, do not
operate the lift truck. Contact your dealer for lift trucks to
obtain a complete and correct Nameplate.
