•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.

•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

If additional engine repairs are necessary for lift trucks
WARNING
The lift truck must be put on blocks for some
types of maintenance and repairs. The removal of
the following assemblies will cause large changes
in the center of gravity: mast, drive axle, engine
and transmission, and counterweight. When the
lift truck is put on blocks, put additional blocks in
the following positions to maintain stability:
•Before removing the mast and drive axle,
put blocks under the counterweight so the
lift truck cannot fall backward.
•Before removing the counterweight, put
blocks under the mast assembly so the lift
truck cannot fall forward.
The surface must be solid, even, and level when
the lift truck is put on blocks. Make sure any
blocks used to support the lift truck are solid,
one-piece units. See the procedure How to Put Lift
Truck on Blocks in the Operating Manual or the
Periodic Maintenance section for your lift truck.

Description
The frame is one weldment and includes the hydraulic
tank and fuel tank for gasoline or diesel fuel. See Figure 1 or Figure 2.
There is a counterweight for each capacity of lift truck.
The counterweights are similar in appearance, but are
different weights. See Table 2.
The muffler is fastened to the frame inside the counterweight.
The overhead guard, cowl, and hood are installed on
the frame. The hood is connected to the frame with
hinges. Two gas-controlled springs provide assistance when raising the hood and hold the hood in the
open position. The floor plate and side covers can be
removed for access to the engine, transmission, and
other components.

Steering Column
DESCRIPTION
This section describes the repair procedures for the
steering column. The steering column assembly
mounts to the cowl inside the operator compartment
and is the mechanical connection between the steering wheel and the steering control unit. The steering
column includes the steering wheel, housing, bracket
and lower shaft. For lift trucks with gas and LPG engines, bolts and bushings attach the steering column
to the cowl standoffs. For lift trucks with diesel engines, bolts, bushings and isolators attach the steering column to the cowl standoffs. See Figure 9.
STEERING COLUMN REPAIR
Remove
1. Put blocks on each side (front and back) of tires
to prevent lift truck from moving.

2. Attach a tag on battery connector or negative bat-
tery cable stating, DO NOT CONNECT BATTERY. Move steering column to most FORWARD
position.
CAUTION
If a puller tool is used to remove steering wheel
from steering column, be careful not to damage
horn wires.
NOTE: This procedure is for removal of all compo-
nents of steering column assembly. Not all components are removed for a repair procedure. Do only
those steps of procedure necessary to remove required component.
NOTE: Tag wires prior to disconnect.
3. Remove horn button assembly and disconnect
electrical wires. Remove large hex nut and steering wheel from steering column. See Figure 10.
