SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR

When lifting parts or assemblies, make sure all slings, chains, or cables are correctly fastened, and that the load being lifted is balanced. Make sure the crane, cables, and chains have the capacity to support the weight of the load.

Do not lift heavy parts by hand, use a lifting mechanism.

Wear safety glasses.

DISCONNECT THE BATTERY CONNECTOR before doing any maintenance or repair on electric lift trucks. Disconnect the battery ground cable on internal combustion lift trucks.

Always use correct blocks to prevent the unit from rolling or falling. See HOW TO PUT THE LIFT TRUCK ON BLOCKS in the Operating Manual or the Periodic Maintenance section.

Keep the unit clean and the working area clean and orderly.

Use the correct tools for the job.

Keep the tools clean and in good condition.

Always use YALE APPROVED parts when making repairs. Replacement parts must meet or exceed the specifications of the original equipment manufacturer.

Make sure all nuts, bolts, snap rings, and other fastening devices are removed before using force to remove parts.

Always fasten a DO NOT OPERATE tag to the controls of the unit when making repairs, or if the unit needs repairs.

Be sure to follow the WARNING and CAUTION notes in the instructions.

Gasoline, Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG), Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), and Diesel fuel are flammable. Be sure to follow the necessary safety precautions when handling these fuels and when working on these fuel systems.

Batteries generate flammable gas when they are being charged. Keep fire and sparks away from the area. Make sure the area is well ventilated.

NOTE: The following symbols and words indicate safety information in this manual:

WARNING

Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION

Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury and property damage.

On the lift truck, the WARNING symbol and word are on orange background. The CAUTION symbol and word are on yellow background.

CAUTION

DO NOT remove the cover from the transaxle housing during the warranty period. Removing the cover from the housing will void the transaxle warranty. The transaxle warranty period may vary from truck hours or other warranties. Contact Yale Company Contact Management if you have questions about warranty status.

CAUTION

Use only transmission fluid from approved vendors. Using fluid from unapproved vendors will void the warranty. Contact Yale Company Contact Management if you have questions about warranty status.

This section contains the removal, repair, inspection, and installation instructions for the transaxle assemblies used on these models.

WARNING

DO NOT make repairs or adjustments unless you have been properly trained and authorized to do so. Improper repairs and adjustments can create dangerous operating conditions. DO NOT operate a lift truck that needs repairs. Report the need for repairs to your supervisor immediately. If repair is necessary, attach a DO NOT OPERATE tag on the steering wheel and disconnect the battery.

Throughout this section, forward will refer to travel in the direction of the forks and left and right will be determined by sitting in the seat facing forward. See Figure 1 or Figure 2.

DISCHARGING THE CAPACITORS

WARNING

DO NOT make repairs or adjustments unless you have been properly trained and authorized to do so. Improper repairs and adjustments can create dangerous operating conditions. DO NOT operate a lift truck that needs repairs. Report the need for repairs to your supervisor immediately. If repair is necessary, attach a DO NOT OPERATE tag on the steering wheel and disconnect the battery.

Disconnect the battery and allow the capacitors to discharge before opening any compartment covers or inspecting or repairing the electrical system. DO NOT place tools on top of the battery. If a tool causes a short circuit, the high current flow from the battery can cause personal injury or property damage.

Some checks and adjustments are performed with the battery connected. DO NOT connect the battery until the procedure instructs you to do so. Never wear any metallic items on your fingers, arms, or neck. Metal items can accidentally make an electrical connection and cause injury.

Before performing any tests or adjustments, block the lift truck to prevent unexpected movement.

The capacitor in the transistor controller(s) can hold an electrical charge for about 10 seconds after the battery is disconnected. To prevent an electrical shock and personal injury, discharge the capacitor(s) before inspecting or repairing any component in the drive unit compartment. Make certain that the battery has been disconnected.

DO NOT short across the motor controller terminals with a screwdriver or jumper wire.

Make certain the Emergency Disconnect Switch has not been activated. This will isolate the controller and prevent the capacitors from discharging properly. The proper way to disconnect the battery is by separating the battery connectors.

1.Ensure capacitors are discharged by performing Step 2 through Step 6 below.

2.Turn key or keyless switch to OFF position.

3.Disconnect battery by separating connectors.

1300 YRM 1330

4.Block drive wheels to prevent lift truck from moving.

5.Make sure Emergency Disconnect Switch HAS NOT been activated. If Emergency Disconnect Switch is activated, rotate switch to the right until it pops up.

6.Press horn button. Wait 30 seconds to be sure capacitors are fully discharged.

SPECIAL TOOLS

Special tools are necessary to properly perform some repairs. These tools are available from your Yale dealer. Warranty will not cover damage resulting from work done using improper tools. Refer to Table 1.

REMOVE TRANSAXLE FROM FRAME

WARNING

The lift truck must be put on blocks for some types of maintenance and transaxle repair. The removal of the battery, mast, transaxle, or the counterweight will cause large changes in the center of gravity. Position additional blocks under the frame when the lift truck is on blocks, so the lift truck cannot tip over.

1.Remove mast assembly.
